I'm also thinking my last step may very well be: move to Lightroom. I’m having this problem too and appreciate the steps. I’m also thinking my last step may very well be: move to Lightroom.

This was very helpful. I imported a bunch of folders form an old iphoto library and the automatically generated albums were the culprit. Erasing them directly within the aperture library was the only way it worked. Thanks. This was very helpful.

In this case, it didn't help. Good tip tho! Eoin-

Make a copy of your Aperture Library. 2. Go back to the original Aperture Library and right click or Ctrl Click the library and select show package contents. Inside this folder you'll see a folder callled Aperture.aplib and a file called ApertureData.xml Trash both of these and clear your trash. 3. Re-start aperture, it will be forced to do a library recover and may take some time depending on the amount of images you have inside. One thing to note however is any vault you had before will no longer be available, Best thing to do is once aperture is up and running again is to create a new vault and back up aperture to that, It will again take some time. This will (should) get you back up and running again. when everything is working to your satisfaction don't forget to delete the Aperture Library Copy.aplibrary. Quickest way to fix this problem is
