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)

Hi, Just to update you with whats happening with my library...

I backed up my old machne on time machine, rebuilt permissions on the old machine then took a copy of my Aperture library from my old machine to a hard drive.

Aperture on my new laptop now opens a lot quicker and is more responsive. i still can't get the first aid dialogue box to appear when holding down command option together. The library still rebuilds database each time I open it, but it's a lot quicker at doing so.

I've noticed now that a lot of the photos have an ! in a yellow box meaning Aperture can't locate them. Alot of them are from previous photostreams. I've no idea where some are so effectively i've lost them. I'm really starting to wish I'd never got involved with Aperture.
