Question

My Aperture (3.4) Library is on my Mac (OS-X 10.8.2). I want to access from my MacBook (OS X 10.7.5) Aperture (3.4) over my home network.

When I 'Switch to library' on the MacBook and select the Aperture Libraray on the Mac I get the message:

'Aperture cannot switch to the selected library because the file system of the library’s volume is not supported.'

Al suggestions will be appreciated!

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Sorry, that is not possible. Aperture is not a network database system, and an Aperture library can only be accessed by one user at a time.

The Aperture library must be stored on locally mounted volume, formatted MacOS X extended.

See this support article by Apple:

Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library:
