Q: Access old libraries
Trying to access Aperture files (Vers.3.6) on iMac (Vers.OS X El Captan 10.11.3) & get three msgs from various library files.
1. Aperture cannot access the selected library b/c file system of library's volume is not supported.
2. Versions with unavailable original files cannot be edited.
3. Need to upgrade files to Version 3.6 relaunch
First two windows are advice only & offer no solution as the files to be accessed are original.
When do upgrade, the images are blank.
Even tried opening files on Macbook (Vers OS X El Captan 10.11.1) + Aperture same vers.,where were originally processed & stored but get same msgs
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), 21.5" Intel3.1Ghz iCore i7,16GB, FD

HI Leonie, No haven't quite solved, but as part my normal process store original files to a separate hard drive, then process files & export copies to usually JPGS to Mac hard drive. But aperture also created libraries. This occurred over past 5 years & 18 mths ago changed to a iMac & moved files across from original MacBook.
So it is some files that cannot open as per above msgs, will try to follow your advice + been able to track originals via finder search.
Haven't run apps to clear duplicates. Plus, over same period used 3 types of cameras hence they have own file structure. With loss of support for Aperture, don't use it as frequently as found it was "jittery", I.e. Would jump from image to image whilst working on one image.
APpreciate your help & advice.
