How do I get my photos back in Aperture3???

I have just updated my Aperture 2 to Aperture 3. The new version has taken over my old version (and I can't get back in to my old version) and now I it seems I have lost my photos! All my projects are there, named as in the old version, but no photos!!! Help.....

Yes, you are absolutely right. This was exactly what I did while waiting for someone to get back to me - so at least, I have my pictures back! 🙂 😁


That's good news!



Everything is still working on Ap2. Now, I am going through making copies of the photos, so that at least I have the files. Then I will try to do what you suggest: repair the Ap2 library then open it in Ap3, right?

Yes you want to do the library rebuild on the Aperture 2 library WITH Aperture 2. Once that completes install Aperture 3 and try the upgrade to the library again, hopefully it will work this time.


As for copying the photos, while having multiple backups is always a good idea you seem to be covered here with your TM backup of the library. So while I would never stop someone from making copies if they feel the need, it isn;t absolutely necessary in your case.


good luck
