where are my faces/events in aperture

hi ijust bought aperature and when i opend it my faces are missing and my 40 or so events has now being placed into 2 only projects

I assume, you opened your iPhoto library in Aperture? And then Aperture upgraded the library? What are your versions of iPhoto and Aperture?

Are photos missing, or just all photos dumped into only two projects?

Check, if you have any filters set, that exclude faces and places from being shown.

• The search field in the Library Inspector panel will filter projects and albums. Clear this, so it will show "All items".
• The search field in the browser will filter the currently selected projects and albums, it should be showing "Show all".
  

Places and Faces are behaving differently,depending on where you select them. The "Faces/Places" views in the Library Inspector panel should be showing all faces and places, the corresponding buttons in the Tooolbar will only show a subset for the currently selected library item and may appear to be empty.

iwent bact to iphoto there gone from faces and events there as well

Are you sure, you opened the correct iPhoto library? Open your iPhoto Library directly in iPhoto by double-clicking it. Is it the correct library, and does it still look like items were missing?

If your Faces/Places are really missing, try if repairing the library will bring back the Faces.

Launch Aperture while holding down the key combination⌥⌘ (option-command), until you are seeing the Library First Aid panel. Select "Repair Database". Are the Faces now back?

If not, restore your iPhoto library from your backup and run the repair in iPhoto, before you open the library in Aperture.
