Q: Aperture keeps quitting when trying to make a vault

It's a gdrive, not sure if you are familiar with gdrive. I called their help center center after the first time ap quit and they said it was formatted for apple

Thank you. I checked Finder and the EHD is Mac OS Extended ( journaled). So that looks good. When I check my activity monitor it say aperture is not responding in red text yet  it also show aperture is using between 110 and 114. % CPU. And the both EHDs are clearly working. When I Hoover anywhere in aperture the beach ball just spins non stop ( so its seems non responsive ) Do I force quit or allow it to keep going? Also, as I watch the EHD in finder that I am trying to save the vault to,the "used" amount is ever so slowly increasing and the available is ever so slowly decreasing.

Should I hang in and let it keep going? Why is aperture saying not responding red text? Thx

Confused, now aperture is showing as responding in finder ( no red text ) and is using considerably less %CPU, between 9 and 40 %. It has been unresponsive in red text for at least 5 or 10 minutes

Ap library is 119 GB. It has been running now for about 6 hours. In past when I have successfully created vaults it has taken over 24 hours. I'm inclined to let it keep going as of now. A quick check of activity monitor and aperture appears to be running ( no red text saying not responding). Thank you. It a referenced library. When I began to create this vault the box popped up and said 2443 managed files would be included and  115,000 referenced files would not be included. This surprised me as I thought all of my images were referenced. So in efforts to locate these managed files I created a smart album of managed images and it produced an album with only 323 images. I then made a smart album of offline images and it produced an album with 357 images. Most of the 323 managed images are in the offline album. I tried to reconnect and them cannot, they do not even generate a thumbnail. I think something must have happened with theses 323 files somewhere along the line over the years.  But I don't understand why aperture told me I had 2443 managed files and the smart album of managed files shows only 323 images.

I'm not sure, when I go to reconnect the images I see them listed in the top half of the screen but cannot find them in the lower half of the screen ( so as to match them and then hit reconnect all). I did not think to go into the EHD and look for them there. I assumed since I couldn't find them in the aperture project path they were gone.  As I am currently creating the vault I cannot look now. I will check when this completes.

I think I may have found the problem. The original gdrive where all my images are stored in formatted Mac OS extended and the new gdrive mini is formatted for Mac OS Extended journaled.  I can't figure  out how to change the new mini from Mac OS Extended Journaled to Mac OS extended. Called over to Gdrive and they are stumped as well. Any thoughts? The folks at gdrive recommended returning the mini and getting a different EHD. Any recommendations?

I thought the same thing but that is what they told me.... I am desperate to create a vault so I am currently trying to create a vault to my desktop. I know it's not a good solution but I need to try something new. I have tried 8 times unsuccessfully to create it on the brand new 1tb eHD

Yes but with a vault I can routinely back it up..... I might try dragging the ap library over .... See if that at least will work. Thx
