Q: Missing block of projects after conversion
Purchased and converted to Aperture last month and a block of my iPhoto projects are missing. In fact, all of 2013 and the first month of this year!
Any ideas on where I should be looking to correct this??
Thanks.

Great, that you found your missing events, Joe.
Any guidance on how to get all the events over to my Aperture library so there is only one set of events/projects? I certainly didn't intend for them to be separated!
You can merge your second iPhoto library into your main Aperture library.
- Open your main library in Aperture (File > Switch to library).
- Then import the the other library as library (File > Import > Library) and select the other library.
- When prompted, add to "merge" and not to "Add". That will prevent the import of duplicates.
See this guide:
Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
There are some things, you should be aware of, when using the iPhoto library as an Aperture library; for example, Aperture cannot reveal hidden iPhoto photos, and you cannot edit iPhoto books in Aperture or slideshows.

So, keep iPhoto installed. This way, you can compare two libraries, by opening one in Aperture and one in iPhoto.
