Aperture rebuilding versions and restoring faces after every start up

Hi,

My Aperture Library does this on every start up and seems to hang on certain versions when doing so. I left it overnight and came back in the morning. Aperture had opened and I could see thumbnails which were blurred. I tried scrolling through and the movement was jerky then it crashed.

It's happened since moving my library from an old Macbook to a Macbook Pro 2013. In my wisdom I deleted the library from the new machine and tried moving it again from my old machine to the new one. So to problem number 2... Aperture now says the library is from an earlier version of Aperture so it won't open it. The library does open in iPhoto but I dont think all the versions are included in there.

If the library is removed from it's destination in Pictures and I open Aperture it's finenand creates a new library file in pictures, so It's defintely a Library problem. Is it possible there is a corrupt version?

I've also had a periodical message saying Aperture can't open until Time Machine has finished. I'm yet to run TIme MAchine on my new machine. I feel l ike i'm going in circles and I've made things worse Any help would be appreciated. I'm running Aperture 3.5.1 OSX 10.9.1 and have a Macbook Pro late 2013 2.4Ghz Intel Core i5 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 256GB

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Mac OS Extended (Journaled) I meant. There's no 'X' ??

That is o.k. The "X" was my mistake.

I definitely can't get the First Aid box up, it goes straight into a repair with a progress bar. My Aperture library under Get Info is version 3.5.1.

I found the report, thanks for that. Here are the first few lines...

I've also noticed that as Aperture is restoring versions the library is growing in size under get info. My library is around 72GB, It'sgone up to 82 while rebuilding and it's still going.

Crashed Thread: 17 Dispatch queue: com.apple.photo.placemanager

Your crash log is telling us, that the problem is happening in the placemamager, but that we already knew from your other observations. and it is a program error, not a missing library or something easier to fix.

I've also noticed that as Aperture is restoring versions the library is growing in size under get info. My library is around 72GB, It'sgone up to 82 while rebuilding and it's still going.

Thta may be due to knew preview settings. Rebuilding is recreating the library, and the newer version may be creating more previews than before.

Hi guys,

I'm still not able to get the First Aid Dialog box to appear while holding down Option Command and clicking the library file. It jumps straight to the progress bar says it's repairing and then starts rebuilding versions. I let this happen until complete (hours) Aperture then opens and is really unresponsive and eventually crashes. To be honest I'm fed up with the software. I don't feel like it will ever be fixed. I dont really want to import it all into a new library as I have about 9000 photographs on there and wouldn't know where to begin. It's very frustrating. Thanks for the help so far.

Sorry, Lukeluke,y to have kept you waiting, we seem to be living in different time zones, it is just not possible to have an orderly conversation this way with that long interruptions.

I'm still not able to get the First Aid Dialog box to appear while holding down Option Command and clicking the library file.

I let this happen until complete (hours) Aperture then opens and is really unresponsive and eventually crashes. To be honest I'm fed up with the software.

Repairing the library succees, but you cannot work with it afterwards. Can you cancel this task: "then starts rebuilding versions" from the Activity window? Aperture should then be more responsive and you could try to disable all extras (Faces, Previews, Photo Stream, your web accounts) in the Aperture preferences and quit Aperture regularly.

I still think you need to find a corrupted image or images that makes Aperture crash. If you only can get into Aperture without background processing going on, you could browse your projects. i.e. the most recently imported projects and look for images with broken thumbnails or anyother problems.

hi Leonie,

Thanks for your reply. I will have a go at that.

I can't access the Activity Window while Aperture is Rebuilding library. The main Interface isn't open at this point just a smail progress bar.

The trouble is once Aperture is open, there is little i can do before it locks up and crashes. Once that happens i have to go through the whole process again. So locating the corrupt version or thumbnail is extremely difficult at the moment. I'll see if I can disable the Faces, Previews etc before it crashes this time. Thanks

And try to quit regularly, before it crashes. Only this way will Aperture close the library correctly and write a preferences file that does not prompt a rebuild.

Ok, I don't think it's had a chance to write back any changes. Most of the time the spinning disc shows so I can't do anythng. i have force quit it before that probably has made things worse. I'll let you know how I get on.

After a Force-quit Aperture will always automatically repair and that is probably the reason that you can't get to "rebuild".

To be able to change the Preferences you could simply open first a different Aperture library (create a new one), then disable everything that will start tasks and quit Aperture again to write the new prferences.

Once you have a preferences file that disable everything, try the rebuild again.

Ok thanks. Aperture is staying open now but in a non responsive state most of the time. I've managed to disable Faces, Accounts, Previews and Photo Stream.

I've now selected Last Imported and it's non responsive for the moment. When the lastest import thumbnails show I'll look out for any corruption and maybe delete a few at a time. Ive got most of the photos in other locations.
