Q: Photos not visible in trash

I know this has been addressed before, but I can't seem to get my photos to appear that have been moved to the trash.

A:

Images not visible in the Aperture trash is almost always a symptom of a corrupted library. The good news is doing the steps in Aperture 3 Troubleshooting Basics specifically the library repair or the rebuild usually fixes the problem.

Why do you want photos in Trash to appear?

Generally anything in Trash can't be accessed by the operating system.

I wanted to view them prior to deleting to make sure I don't want them any longer. The photos in trash use to appear when trash was selected, but not now. There is a number to the right indicating that there are pictures in the trash folder.

Well, I just checked and I discovered that I am able to view photos that are in the Trash. So it does appear you have a problem there. I will see if I can find a possible solution.

I was looking at previous posts about using a smart album HUD and selecting photo from the top of the menu, but I couldn't see a photo visible on the HUD.

Thanks so much, Frank. I opened Aperture while holding down the option and command keys and rebuilt the database. All my trashed pictures have reappeared.
