Q: Missing Aperture Files

Hello, I upgraded to Aperture 3.4.3 yesterday (from 3.2.2), & everything was fine. Today, I noticed that I have the little traingle with the yellow exclamation point on about 6000 of my pictures. When I right click > reconnect referenced files, I get "No referenced files – the selection doesn't have any referenced files". I know that the files are there (in the finder), the problem is just that Aperture doesn't see them.

Is there any way I can point Aperture to the location of the files?

Thanks in advance

The first thing to do is run "Repair Database". Directions are on this Apple Support page. Post back with your results.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have run all three commands from the cmd+alt+launch Aperture menu. The Problem still persists. What I am doing now, is I am duplicating the aperture library file & I will then delete all contents. I wiil then import folders as projects & choose the location of my referenced files. Will that do the trick maybe? And how can I do that without losing my adjustments?
