Are they even gone from Macintosh HD / Users / YOU / Pictures / Aperture?

Does your library use managed files or referenced files. If referenced, did they get moved? Also, locate and double-click on the library file itself to launch Aperture instead of running Aperture directly. Maybe it lost the preference that indicates the library location. Launching the library directly should fix that.

i fixed it by holding alt cmd at the start up screen
