Apple Aperture 3.5 - Manual (Page 77)

Chapter 3 Work with projects and the library 77
3 Do one of the following:
•
To repair the permissions of the files within your Aperture library: Select Repair Permissions.
This option should be used when Aperture can’t access some of the image files within the
database or is unable to open the library. The Repair Permissions option reviews each file
in your Aperture library and sets the read-and-write access of each file where appropriate,
allowing Aperture to access the files again.
Note: This option does not relocate referenced images whose original image files are offline.
For more information about reconnecting offline images, see
Work with referenced images on
page 67.
•
To repair your Aperture library file: Select Repair Database.
This is the first option you should use if you believe there is something wrong with the
Aperture library other than image file access issues.
•
To rebuild your database from scratch: Select Rebuild Database.
Rebuilding large libraries can be time-consuming; use this option if you’ve tried repairing
your database and the issues with your library persist. Aperture examines the library’s entire
database and rebuilds each component until it reconstitutes your original Aperture library.
4 Depending on your selection, click Repair or Rebuild.
Aperture either fixes file permissions within the library or repairs or rebuilds the library, and then
opens the application workspace.
