Aperture 3.4.2 update

Hi,

I've just updated my Aperture to 3.4.2 on a Macbook 13inch 2009 running OSX 10.8.2

It told me I needed to upgrade my library to work with the new version, then quit half way through the process. I'm now getting an error every time I start Aperture saying that I need to repair my library.

When I click repair, it goes most of the way through (sometimes right up to 99%) and then quits, and when I restart, the whole process starts again...

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Aperture 3, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Any better results with a rebuild of your database? Hold down the "Command" and "Option" keys when starting up Aperture to reveal this option.

Quits? Do you get a crash log? Then post the first 50 lines of the crash report.

Somewhere in the crashlog must be a part:

Thread 14 -...

Please post the complete thread 14 as well ...

Hi Leonie

Is this what you need?

That thread 14 must be from a different crash log, the names of the threads do not match, but never mind.

The first part you posted looks suspiciously like the problem many posters had, when Aperture 3.4. first has been released. Did you upgrade to Aperture 3.4. from an early Aperture 3 version?

Then you need to reinstall from your original installation media, see:

You are welcome. I am glad it worked for you.

My suspicion is, that you upgraded from an Aperture version that uses an incompatible "Account Configuration Plug-in", and when Aperture tries to set up Facebook account data, Aperture crashes. Reinstalling from an earlier version or completely new installs the correct plug-in, a similar crash is here:

Version 3.4.2 aperture wont open just crashes, Version 3.4.2 aperture wont open just crashes

@ Aye Es Oh : This is probably another case like the one you mentioned in your earlier post! It is still going on. I hoped the 3.4.2 release would fix this.

Yes, strange that it's got a different message, and that it happened at 99%. Hopefully the new update fixes it if it happens to someone else.
