Select the appropriate option (described in the following list) and click Repair/
Rebuild.
Within the Library First Aid dialog, there are three repair options:
Repair Permissions.
Select this option if Aperture can't open or display either the library
or some of the images within the library. Note that this option requires an administrator
password for your computer. Also note that if Aperture can't open your images because
they're referenced and have missing masters, this option will not reconnect your images
for you.
Repair Database.
If Aperture is displaying the wrong metadata for various images (or
not displaying any metadata) or having trouble with something other than accessing
your image files, select this option.
Rebuild Database.
This option uses the different data files within your Aperture library
to rebuild the library's database. Use this option as a last resort if Repair Database fails, as
it can be quite slow.
If you still have problems with your library after using the Library First Aid tool, we recommend
simply restoring your library from your most recent backup.
Because of how Aperture stores some of its internal files, your library can become
fragmented across your hard drive. If you notice Aperture's performance slowly
degrading over time, try using a defragmentation program on the drive that you use
to store your Aperture library.
