Aperture Smart Albums disappeared.

All of a sudden, all of my smart albums including the stock ones that came with Aperture have disappeared. They still show up on my appletv but crash if I try to access them I have restarted , repaired permissions and rebuilt the library. Does anyone have any idea what may have happenned?


Thanks all.

We need to know more, to be able to understand what's going on.


What is your Aperture version, John? And is your profile signature "Imac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)" still correct, or have you updated, since you created it?

Where is your Aperture library stored? And what did you do, directly before the problem started? Did you upgrade any software? Import new images? Move your aperture library to a new drive?


Anything at all, that could help to understand, what's going on.

Aperture version 3.5.1

iMac osx 10.9.2

I have a managed library stored on the internal drive which has about 350g available space.

The only thing I remember doing is deleting a folder that had appeared called "recovered folder" which had 5 corrupt images in it. I also deleted some photos that came from photo stream. I haven't imported in a couple of weeks and haven't moved the library or made any changes. I actually have 2 smart albums that are still there but at least 6 are missing.


I haven't tried rebuilding the database as I was afraid it would mess things up even worse. I did repair permissions and repair database


Thanks for your help.

John, then try the rebuild, but make sure you have a backup copy of the current state of the library.

And take care not to overwrite any previous backup that you still may have. If rebuilding does not help, resoring from a working backup might be the best option.


Has the size of your Aperture library changed? Is it smaller, than it used to be?
