When I check my Aperture Library, which has a size of 153 GB, I notice there is a file named Ipod Photo Cache.
This file has a size of 35GB.
All files in it end with extension .ithmb
I understand that these are files created for viewing my pictures on an Ipad.
The size of the file is huge though; can this be deleted in my aperture library, or will this mean I can not view my pictures on the Ipad?

I believe that deleting it will only be temporary as it will regenerate the cache the next time you try syncing your ipad. It may just be that over time, the cahe has been getting larger and larger, even as you've deleted photos from your collection. You may want to try duplicating or moving it first and seeing what it does the next time you sync first.

You can delete it. But Aperture/iTunes will recreate it during the next synch with your iPad as needed. The bad news is this will add additional time to the synch process. The good news is the new cache might be smaller after the regen.
Thanks Espeon and Thomas, you confirmed what I already suspected.
