Aperture 3.4 will not open after 10.8.2 installed

I updated Aperture to 3.4. I opened the Application. It said it needed to upgrade my libarry, then immediately quit and returned an "Aperture quit unexpectedly" error. I reopened Aperture. It said "finding Aperture Library" then immediately quit, returning another "Aperture quit unexpectedly" error. I get the same result over and over, even with the "shift" key held down when attempting to open the application.


I also get the same result when holding the "option" key down (it does show me a list of available libraries and lets me select one, but then returns the error). The first time I tried this, I selected the most recent library dated prior to the upgrade. When I got no joy, I tried again and that library now no longer appears in the list. And I cannot open any of the libraries that do.


If I can't even launch the application, I can't rebuild the library. I've searched the discussions and googled this problem to no avail. Any ideas, anyone?

I repaired disk permissions, which at least got me something like "you had problems with your library the last time you tried to open it, would you like to rebuild it" prompt...it rebuilt it, got to 99 percent, unexpectedly quit. I also tried creating a new library and the app unexpectedly quit.


I didn't find any other current threads on this issue. I'll search again. I'm not sure what I can try without another Mac when the application won't launch at all. Here's the log:

Hmm i can't fint the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file in my libary? any other suggestions?

In the recent MacOS versions LIon/Mt. Lion the user Library is hidden.

You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu in the main menu bar:


Finder > Go


Then hold down to options-key ⌥, until Library appears in the drop-down menu. Select it and open the Library.

In the window that opens select the "Preferences" folder - you will find the Aperture.plist there. Move it to the Desktop, then try again to launch Aperture.


Removing the preference file will result in reverting all preferences you set using the "Preference" panel to default, also the layout of the GUI and the "recent" file list, but all your "Presets" will not be changed.


Regards

Léonie

Make sure you are looking for it in your user library folder and not the system library folder...by default the user library folder is hidden...if you go to Users/[your username] and don't see a folder named Library, follow these instructions: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/


You can now go to ~/Library/Preferences/ and locate the com.apple.Aperture.plist file and delete it.
