Unable to open Aperture Library

I am once again experiencing problems with my Aperture Library which is stored in an external hard disk.

Keep getting an error "1712" and message saying that application can not be opened.

Have tried to repair by holding down the command and option key while double clicking in the library but still no success! :-(

Most items have been dragged across my new hard drive.

Are all files in a folder that has the same structure as your original Aperture library? What is missing and cannot be copied?


If the missing items are not essential database files, only image files, then you should be able to rename this copied folder "Aperture Libarary manually copied.aplibrary" and try to open it in Aperture. Double click the renames, copied folder and try if Aperture can open it.
