Just noticed my Facebook and Flickr albums had vanished after updating to Aperture 3.4 and when I try and add them back in Aperture crashes?

Anyone else having this problem?
 
Try deleting your Aperture preference file and re-launching. I had problems with both iPhoto and Aperture with the last round of updates. Both kept crashing; when I tried to export an image in iPhoto is kept trying to send it to Shutterfly and crashed iPhoto.
 
A little help on this one!

Please tell me how to "delete my Aperture preference file" Aperture keeps crashing
 
Make sure Aperture is not running. Go to Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.aperture.plist and delete it. Restart Aperture and it will create a new preference file and should stop the crashes.

If that doesn't work, I have read of people having to uninstall Aperture, install Aperture 3.1 and then update it to Aperture 3.4. Deleting Aperture will not delete your libraries, but MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS OF EVERYTHING JUST IN CASE!

Thanks for the tip. The only solution that worked for me was uninstalling 3.4, reinstalling 3.0 from my disc and then updating back to 3.4.
 
Albums are still present, but photos uploaded to FB from Aperture never show up online even though they are present in the FB albums within Aperture.
