I have Aperture version 3.2.4. How can I activate icons in tool strip? All photos in albums created in the last month have yellow warning triangle symbol on the bottom right corner, and the 4 icons on the tool strip (straighten, crop, red eye & brushes) are inactive (grey), so I can not edit.
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
If the icon you are referring to is the one with the curved arrow and the yellow triangle then Aperture is unable to find the originals for those images and adjustments are disabled.

Yes, that's the icon I am referring to. Thanks for your reply. Can you help me understand why Aperture is unable to find the originals, (I've never had this issue in 6 years) and what I need to do to resolve this?

Then we need to know, what happened to the originals. There may be several reasons why Aperture cannor find them. The volume being offline, editing the the originals using an external editor, renaming or moving them, a problem with the drive they are on.

To fix this, you need to point Aperture to the location of your referenced originals using the reconnect dialogue from the "File" menu. "File > Locate Referenced Files"
The procedure is explained in this section of the User Manual: http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=5%26sec tion=16%26tasks=true
Click the paragraph: "Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images"
Post back, if there still are problems.

Leonie ... thank you very much for your reply. This helped solved the problem. I'm not quite sure what is happening to cause this problem, but your reply helped me restore my originals and thus restore my ability to edit. Much appreciated.
