Q: From navigator to full screen image

Once I've ajusted images in Aperture and return to my navigator, I cannot come back and reopen my pics in full screen. Just a blank page.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9), Aperture 3.5.1

    Does that only happen with one particular Aperture library? And for all images? Or only occasionally?

     

     

    But if it happens even for a small test library, remove the preferences file 

       ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist   from your Userlibrary in your Home folder to the Desktop as described here:  Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805

     

    Log off and on and try again to start Aperture.

    It happens occasionally - and only since I reloaded my new Imac last week with the Time Machine backup.

    I've repaired the Library several times and the Library1Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist  does not exist on my hard drive.

    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist   has to exist, if Aperture ever has been running.

     

    Perhaps you have been looking in the wrong library. The User Library is hidden by default

    in 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.

     

    • Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
    • Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
    • In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
    • From the "Preferences" folder  remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".

    Then try to launch Aperture again.

     

    But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.

    Did all of the above from the Finder's menu main menu bar. The file in question is not in the Preferences folder.
