This happens very rarely, but if it happens, beware! I decided to move my Mac from OS X 10.4 tO 10.5 and do a clean install. Normaly this is not a problem at all, but this time... After installing all the software and moving my data, I had problems opening my aperture libraries because of wrong permissions. This seemed very strange since my libraries are on seperate harddrives and I everything alse was the same, but it happened. The only way to remedy this is to repair permissions from within Aperture, I tried to do this with other tools - it didn't work. To repair permissions from within Aperture, you have to press the opt & cmd keys when opening a library and verify the coherence. And here is the warning: IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME. I have started the process 2 days ago and I'm only at 65% of my library (400+ Gb)! Next time I shall recover my libraries from a backup, that should be less time consuming! All the best from the south of France! Tarek ------------------------------------------------- Tarek Charara <http://www.pix-that-stimulate.com>
