I have completed the upgrade to Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.3
I performed a clean install and then used Migration Assistance to restore my user info
I have about 12 refrenced libraries on my MAC HD that I want to reference onto my external Drive
I have to located the reference files for all the ones on the MAC HD and reconnected them. If I reboot the computer they loose connection again
Then when I go to Relocate Originals to the external drive, I get “you don't have permission to access” for every file I am trying to move off the MAC
I ran repair permission, repair data base and rebuild data base did not work
Checked an verified folder sharing permissions did not work
Used Disk utility to repair permission on MAC HD did not work
I can create a new folder within the folder I do not have access to ( so I know I have access)
any folder I create on the MAC and load with original files and try to reference them off to the external I get ” you don't have permission”
Been on the phone with Apple Pro Apps for long time and we tried various senerios and nothing worked
I can open finder and the external, create a folder on the external and drag files into it then go back into Aperture and locate reference files and connect them. Thats a bit of work
Has anyone an idea or two??

Jon,
Check that you have permissions disabled on your external drive. Select the drive in the Finder, get info on it, and make sure “Ignore ownership on this volume” is enabled. You may need to unlock it first to be able to toggle that.

Yep went through that with Apple support yesterday.
Thumbs up for Library rebuilds :)
Your reposting of the Library rebuild article was timely, it seems to have done the job so far.
I just finished reconnecting all the pics in one of my libraries, then consolidating them all project by project until the whole library was Managed again.
Then created a new library and imported the trouble one into the new and things seem to be working out now. I was able to then relocate the Masters onto the external drive.
This is a lot of work, Is there a shorter way around than going project to project and relocating then consolidating prior to importing into a new library?
OOPPS as I was writing this I noticed that 1/2 of one project just lost connection to the referenced masters on the external HD. They where just all connected, I have reconnected them and will keep an eye on them after a reboot of the system Ughhhhhh
Jon,
Sounds like a dodgy drive to me. You’re in the process of moving everything off that drive now?
As far as a quicker way, you can access ALL photos by selecting the “Photos” view under the Library tab. You could then filter for offline or missing images, select all, and reconnect. Would that help?

Yes, ” Photo view ” that is so obvious. Sometimes the answer is right there, I think my mind is just in a panic.
Thanks I will do that to complete the rest of my Library updates
