Q: Problem Downloading Aperture Library from iCloud Storage to local Drive

Hello. I have a 10GB Aperture Library which resides in my iCloud Storage. All of my other files have downloaded locally except this one. The progress bar runs to the end as normal then it restarts again and again. Please can anyone help?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

    Even if the sync should finish the Aperture library will probably be corrupted. 

    Restore the library from the most recent backup and delete the copy in iCloud.  An Aperture library needs to be on a locally mounted disk, formatted as MacOS Extended (Journaled).   If you open an Aperture library on iCloud drive, a Dropbox, or a similar synced volume, the references in the internal databases get corrupted and the library will no longer be consistent. You risk losing data this way.
