My external harddrive with referenced masters was acting a little odd. To be safe, I copied all of the referenced masters to a new external drive. At the same time, I was installing Aperture and my library (from a vault) on my new computer (Whoot!).
I'm having trouble locating the referenced masters. It appears that the file names are different than the version names (I must have changed the names when I originally relocated them out onto the first drive). When I migrate to a given file to reconnect it, the reconnect button remains grayed out as does the reconnect all button.
I tried pressing Option to force a reconnect, and it did not do anything.
Does anyone know a way to deal with this?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Ken,
I am also having similar issue but can find the located image - the reconnect button is greyed out. I think it is due to the file name being appended with “File Name (1)” or “File Name (2)”. I know this is the right file, so I am puzzled why i cannot force it to reconnect.
Any help from the forum would be gratefully appreciated!
Cheers,
Graeme
Ken, did you ever resolve this?
Graeme, did you try holding down option key, which in your case probably would force the reconnect?
There’s a new post on the front page “Forcing Aperture to Locate Referenced Files” that may provide more insight.
