Aperture 3 Troubleshooting Guides
Aperture, Apple's professional image management application, provides a streamlined and easy-to-use workflow for professional and advanced amateur photographers. While Aperture is robust and easy to use, there are times when you can run into problems.
When that happens, one or more of our Aperture 3 troubleshooting guides may be just what you need to get back on track.
Aperture 3 provides a Library First Aid utility for troubleshooting and repairing common issues with image libraries and Aperture's database. Because library and database corruption can prevent Aperture 3 from launching, you will need to invoke a sequence of startup keys to access the Aperture 3 Library First Aid utility.More »
When Aperture 3 fails to launch, the likely cause is a damaged library or database. Luckily, Aperture 3 Library First Aid can correct these basic issues. But what if you're still having problems after using Library First Aid?
After eliminating a library or database issue, the most likely cause of a failure to launch is a single corrupt image. It could be a bad master image, a version, anything that is displayed by any of Aperture 3's browser windows. Browser windows display JPEG previews of the actual images; Aperture 3 checks the preview when it first opens. If any preview is out of date, Aperture 3 updates it. If the underlying image is damaged, the preview generation process can prevent Aperture from successfully launching.More »
When you're having problems with an application, sometimes it makes sense to simply reinstall the application, rather than spend too much time trying to figure out the problem. This is fairly easy with Aperture 3, but if you're running Snow Leopard, there is one additional step you need to take before you can successfully remove and then reinstall Aperture 3.More »
