Q: Version 3.4 will not import earlier Libraries-HELP!
I've just upgraded Aperture to 3.4.1 and now I cannot open the 3.3.2 Library, I get this message:
There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/PHOTO BU/Aperture Folder/** US iMac Aperture Library 2?.aplibrary”.
The library could not be opened because the file system of the library’s volume is unsupported.
So my whole Library is not accessible now.
Can anyone tell me how I can work around this, or does anyone know where I can get a copy of 3.3.2 and re-open the Library, export the images then re-import them into 3.4?
Thanks!

Peter,
check the file system on your external disk.
Aperture has always required the Aperture library to be on a disk formatted MacOS X extended, but previous Aperture versions did not check this, see Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library.
If the drive still has the default formatting, maybe MS-DOS (FAT), then you need to move the Aperture library temporary to another volume and to reformat the drive with Disk Utility before you can use it with Aperture.
Regards
Léonie
