How do I import old FCP projects that have mysteriously changed to Linux Executable files?  Is it as simple as renaming the files with the.fcp extension?

I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish. I was able to grab everything, media, etc. to my macbook pro but all of the Final Cut Pro actual movies/projects have turned into "linux executable files" that FCP X won't import.
I tried googling this issue but didn't really see any good answers. Would it be as simple as renaming the files with the .fcp extension?  I can't recall if my old version (really old) of FCP saves projects as .mov or .fcp files, but I'm assuming I'm not the only person this has happened to.
Thanks for your help!

I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish.
What version of FCP was this? The project files can probably no longer be opened in the newer version of the OS. You could try adding the .fcp suffix, but I don't think it will help for this. Projects files are .fcp.
Regardless of the version, no legacy FCP projects will import into FCPX.
Media is a different matter. These are probably QuickTime .mov files. If these are appearing as Unix ececutables, they're probably not recoverable either.

  • How do I recall old text messages that have disappeared from my phone?

    I want to recall a text message which pre-dates the text messages existing on my Samsung S5? I presume that all text messages are held by EE for a certain period of time, and I would like to know how to recall a particular one.

    Unless under settings you have made sure that they are backed up, then you will not be able to get them back. Have you checked the settings for messages? I know this is possible with the Lumia phones, but no idea with Samsung.

    I have not deleted any messages, but older ones are not showing up. Is there a way to get these back? Working on a Macbook Pro

    You can only restore the whole message database, not individual messages or conversations. This procedure will replace the database with an earlier version, so you'll lose all later changes.
    Sign out of iMessage and all other IM accounts, if any. Quit Messages. Hold down the option key and select
              Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. A folder window will open.
    Restore the subfolder named "Messages" from a backup that predates the unwanted changes, then log out and log back in.
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, also restore the subfolder Containers/com.apple.iChat.
    If you don't have a backup, the archive can't be restored.

  • How do i import into iMovie, movies that have been imported into iPhoto?

    There seems to be no way iMovie imports movies from iPhoto. Can some one let me know how to do it?

    That could very well be, but I'm surprised that .mov files didn't appear. You can try rebuilding your iPhoto Library too. To do this, quit iPhoto and iMovie. Hold down the ⌘ Command key + Option key and then launch iPhoto. You will see a dialog box that allows you to reconstruct/rebuild your iPhoto library. Check all the boxes as we don't know at this point exactly why the videos are not appearing. Then click OK and let it run until it finishes. If you have a lot of photos in your library, this may take quite a while. Once it's complete try opening iMovie and see what appears under the iPhoto Videos folder in the Event Library. I would expect to see at least the .mov files showing up.
    If this last step fails, you may need to convert the video clips to a different file format. To do this go into iPhoto hold down the CTRL key and click on one of  our video clips. Choose "Reveal in Finder". This will jump you over to the iPhoto Library folder and you can drag that video clip into a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. Download that program from the link I've provided.
    Basically, you drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) as your codec. iMovie will edit this like there was no tomorrow

  • How do i open a created project that is in a file?

    Hi all,
    How do i open a created project that is in a file in NWDS 7.2?
    I tried the below method:
    1) created a dc
    2) Import-->General-->filesystem-->proceeded further.
    But there was no project.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Regards,
    Manoj.

    Hi,
    If it was exported as a DC project into a zip file, then simply File -- Import ... -- Existing project into workspace -- browse for the zip file.

  • HT201301 How do I import a garageband project folder (and its contents) into itunes?

    How do I import a garageband project folder (and its contents) into itunes so I can transfer it to my ipad?
    I am a guitar teacher and I want to use garageband for the ipad as a teaching tool for my students.  The goal is for my students and myself to share garageband project files so that both the teacher and the student can have the full project...or even add to it.
    Here's what I need help with...
    My student has created a song in garageband that has 4 tracks.  They sync their song to itunes so they can see the project folder for that song in the document window for garageband under the "apps" tab in itunes.  They click "save to" and save the project folder to dropbox. 
    I want to be able to import the project folder for that song from dropbox into itunes so that I can copy it to my ipad and have full access to my student's song.
    I appreciate any help!  Thanks!

    hi Pat,
    what you can do is add that folder to garageband directory using ifunbox. here is the step:
    - Open your ifunbox then go to "user Applications" on your left panel, then select garageband folder. You will see a folder as below:-
    "Documents"
    "Library"
    "MobileGarageBand.app"
    "tmp"
    "itunesartwork"
    "itunesmetada.plist"
    copy the folder you like to put into your ipad by copy it into "Documents" folder. and then quit the ifunbox and restart your itunes again and sync your ipad again and check if you can see the folder on your file sharing under apps tab. Wish you good luck.

  • I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

    I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

    Yes.  A couple of ways that might work.
    First Way
    What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence.  Does it display correctionly? 
    OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c).  Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted.  Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort.  That should maek things work.  What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence.  That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
    Second Way. 
    Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline.  You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

    How do I retain my apps after I change my apple ID? Right now I'm unable to update any of the apps with the old apple ID. I get an error message about an invalid id or Password. If I delete my appos and start over, I may lose the apps that I purchased (like the ones for $5 +....

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
    If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
    you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

  • How do I import old history from places.sqlite to new edtion Firefox and do I loose the new history?

    I have a new PC and want to import my 'favorite website info', in the dutch version called 'Bladwijzers', into the new version of Firefox on my new PC. Do I copy the old places.sqlite to the uohyzr7h.default directory to replace the existing? Or is there another option so I also can keep the new info. The new version of places.sqlite is about 3 times larger (with almost no hystory in it) then the old version. Is that a problem if I replece the new with the old version.

    Firefox 5 uses a default file size of 10 MB for places.sqlite and increments that in 10 MB chunks when needed, so that probably explains the increase in size.
    If you replace places.sqlite then you lose the current bookmarks and history.
    If you need to preserve bookmarks then export them to an HTML file.

  • HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

    How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

    I have a similar problem.  The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
    I have a problem with both of these solutions!  The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either.  But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
    Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!
