Project without files

RoboHelp 9.0.2.271 on Windows 7
Project opens but there are no files, images, multimedia, or style sheets . There are plenty of broken links (obviously) and the TOC, Index, and Glossary are fine.
There is a corruption somewhere and instead of restoring the entire folder, perhaps there are some files you know of that I can restore individually before I restore the whole folder from my backup.
The IT department is asking me to check the forum first for a solution before contacting them again.
Thanks in advance.

HI there
Are you possibly seeing the new Global view in the Project Manager instead of the Classic View you may be used to?

Error saving Project 2010 files to network drive - doesn't see network drive

ANSWERED (11 April 2014):
So it seems the resolution to this is to simply create a new share with a different name. I used the existing folder (to retain NTFS permissions) and just select to Add a new Share (applying the same Share permissions as the non working Shares).
Deploying this new Share via Group Policy as a test resulted in staff being able to open files from Windows Search, save files through MS Project and the Share being accessible through browsing SMB.
All problems resolved by using a new share name for the existing folder. Seems to be a corruption in the namespace.
Note: I had previously deleted the share and recreated it. I had removed all NTFS permissions and readded (through both the GUI and icacls). This didn't make a difference.
Only changing the name of the share fixed the problem.
Original Question
Already
posted here... but Microsoft Support has not responded.
It seems some staff on some computers are having problems saving MS Project files to the network. This is only since an upgrade to SBS2011 (from SBS2003). The only difference now, is that network drives are mapped via group policy rather than a 'net
use' script.
This is affecting users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with either MS Project 2007 or 2010. The users have full change access to the folders and can create new files and modifying existing files, just not a MS Project file. Other file tyes, e.g
Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, Adobe .pdf files, all work fine. These files can be opened, edited and saved normally without problem.
To replicate this:
The user opens an existing file or creates a new file on the network folder (either through Windows Explorer or MS Project). They then click File > Save in MS Project and receive the following error (see pic below):
An interesting symptom of this is that if you select File > Save As in MS Project, the Sae As dialog box doesn't remeber the path location of the network drive. MS Project instead prompts to save the file in the local users documents folder (see pic below):
If they browse back to the original folder where the file was saved and choose to save it there, they are of course, prompted to overwrite the existing file and they can save the file. But the same thing happens every time they open the file.
It seems the problem is that Project isn't seeing the path of the file or that the network drive is attached.
If a user closes the file without saving it, they are prompted to save the file and the prompt shows the drive path:
Do you want to save changes to "N:\... Projects\Active Projects\CC...\F4 Project Plan File\004 Programme\test project file.mpp"?
But choosing to save the file gives them the same result as Save As, they are prompted for a new location as if the original file location doesn't exist.
I have disconnected the mapped drive and connected it again using net use but get the same error.
I have reinstalled MS Project 201, installed Project 2010 SP2 and installed Windows updates and it does the same thing, exactly the same symptoms.
Further, if the user opens a file from the network drive, the file shows in the Project recent files list. If they try to open the file from the recent files list in project they get the following error:
"Project cannot open the file.
-Check that the file name and path are correct.
-Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened...."
This is a test file that I created on the user's computer and network drive, This is being opened with the same version it was created in. If I browse to the folder in Windows Explorer I can open the file. Of course, I then can't save the file (I still get
the original error). I'm logged on with Domain Admin privileges.
I've checked these links from other threads (neither apply to my scenario):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458/en-us|
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excel/thread/2eeea140-7e6c-4cb9-a89b-06d2102bd9f7/
I've downloaded my TechNet version of he software and installed it with Sp2 and Windows updates and it does the same thing. This also happens on the Remote Desktop server (Server 2008 R2) using MS Project 2007.

Case 1
This error message appears when the document is open on two or more computers that are running different operating platforms. For example,
if the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user tries to save the document.
This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two different operating platforms at the same time.
Case 2
This error occurs in Word 97 for Windows if you save to a MAPROOT type network drive connection on a NetWare server where spaces exist in
the file or folder name.
Case 3
This problem may occur if an anti-virus program running on a network has the ability to scan for macro viruses in documents in shared network
folders.
For example, if you have the following:
a shared folder on a network server
-and-
an anti-virus program is running on the network server that is set to monitor the shared folder,
when you attempt to save a document (across the network) to the shared folder, the anti-virus checker may cause the error to occur.
Case 4
This problem may occur on Novell networks when the AutoRecover files path is either blank or set to a network drive.
According each, please try the following workaround:
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate to your situation.
Case 1
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Save a copy of the
file with a different
file name, and work on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.
Case 3
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Do not use spaces in the directory or document names.
Method 3:
Do not use MAPROOT-drive connections. Map your drive connections to the volume-level only.
Case 4
Turn off the anti-virus protection on the network server and then try to
save the document. Contact your anti-virus protection software company for additional details and/or updates to their programs.
Case 5
Set the AutoRecover files path to your local drive. To change the AutoRecover path, use the following steps:
1.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.
On the File Locations tab, select AutoRecover files and then click Modify.
3.
Change the Modify Location dialog box to a
folder on your local drive and then click OK.
4.
Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
Hope that helps.

Can't open Project 2010 file in Project 2007

I am trying to open a Project 2010 file in Project 2007, I get an error that asks if I would like to download the converter and I say yes and get a generic product page for Project 2010. I can't locate the file that I need, how do I find it?

Addressed here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/opening-project-mpp-files-from-different-versions-HA001045020.aspx
You have reached this page because the Project MPP file that you are trying to open was created in a later version of Microsoft Project. Check below to determine if a converter for opening later files is available to you.
Which Project version are you using?
Which file version are you trying to open?
Notes
Project 2007
Project 2010
No converter is available. If you received a Project 2010 file that you want to open using Project 2007, ask the person who sent the file to first save it to the Project 2007 file format.
Alternately, you can install the free
trial version of Project 2010, and then view the file, or save it to the Project 2007 file.
Note Once the trial version of Project 2010 has expired, it can continue to open and view project files, but it won’t be able to save them.
Project 2003
Project 2007
There are two possibilities here.
If you are using Project 2003 with SP3, project files from Project 2007 can be opened read-only.
Download Microsoft Office Project 2003 Service Pack 3.
If you are using Project 2003 without SP3, there is no converter available. Upgrade to Project 2003 with SP3, or ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 2003
Project 2010
No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2010 file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 2000 or Project 2002
Project 2007 or Project 2010
No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 98
Project 2000 and later versions
No converter is available. Consider upgrading to the latest version of Project, or install the free
trial version of Project 2010 to try out Project’s enhanced functionality.
Alternately, ask the person who sent the Project 2000-2003 file to save the file first in the Project 98 file format.
Note Project 2007 and later versions of Project do not have the ability to save to the Project 98 file format.”

Why are Map IDs landing in Project Map File, not All Maps, and with a .h extension

I am using the Tech Comm Ste 2, Adobe Robohelp 8.0.2.2 in Windows XP. I assign map IDs manually instead of using automap. I open the Edit Map IDs window. In the right column, under "Topic," I select the topic I want to map. I then click the icon below to open the Context-sensitive Properties for Help Topic window. I select the topic title, without the .htm, and copy it. Then, from the left column, I click the Map File dropdown list and select the HH file to which I want to map the help topic. I then click the icon at the bottom to open the Create/Edit Map ID window. In the first field, I paste the topic ID, and in the second field I enter the map ID I want to assign. Then I click OK.
Usually this places the topic in the correct HH file, highlighted in yellow until I select the topic from the list and then click Assign. For some reason, RH is not adding my topic to the HH file; instead it is adding it to the Project Map file. When I click OK, I get a blank window and the Assign button is disabled. My topic shows up in the Project Map File. The topic displays with the HH files and a .h extension has been added to it.
I can't delete these topics from the Project Map file. I can't assign them map IDs. And this seems to happen randomly. SOMETIMES I can map my topics, but I never know when I can do it and when one of them is going to land in the Project Map file.
Can anyone help?

Personally I've never had or heard of this issue. The fact that this appears to be random suggests that the MapFile dropdown may not be displaying the correct map file when you add or assign the mapid. Also check to ensure your project's source files are not located on a network drive as this can cause issues. If this continues perhaps you could give us an image of what you are seeing.

Premiere Elements 11. Can't open Project (PREL file) in Windows 8.1.

I have created Project (PREL file) in Premiere Elements 11 in Windows 7 Professional environment. I was able to open it with no problem.
Now I have Windows 8.1. When I am trying to open this project, I have a pop-up saying 'This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.'
HELP!!!!!

Levalt
From what you wrote, this is my understanding.
For each of your projects, you set up a special save location for the project file (project.prel) and the source media that go into that particular project.
If you have 12 projects, for each, you have a special save location (the project.file source media combo.)
Each of those 12 projects needs to be exported to a file saved to the computer hard drive. One suggestion might be is to save the export from each into a saved location name Grand Project Source Media.
It is these 12 exports that are going to be imported into the Grand Final product which will be outputted as wanted. At this point, those exports are your source media that needs to stay in contact with the grand projects. The source media that went into the individual 12 projects are out of the equation at this point.
But, back to the point that I was trying to get at. Each of those 12 projects that you start with has to have project settings (aka project preset). And, those project settings should match the properties of whatever you are putting on the Timeline of the each project. The project settings direct the program to set the right space in the Edit area monitor for editing so that you do not have black borders, pixel aspect ratio problems, and the like. So, I want to make sure that you have the right project settings for each project.
Then you need to export the TImeline content from each of those projects. Ideally the export settings should be consistent with the source media properties and the project settings. The ideal is to have this to be the case for all 12 projects. Cannot advise you about these settings without details...
What is the project preset for the 12 starting project...NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or something else?
If that is your project preset, what are your source media 1080i30, 1080p30, or something else?
I am suspecting that each individual project will be exported to a HD export 1920 x 1080 which might be a Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets set to maybe a .m2t file, maybe .mp4 file. It is all going to depend on a coordinated plan.
If you still have questions and need clarification about the above, do not hesitate to ask. I will explain another way if necessary.
Thank you.

Project Error - files unable to open

I have a large project, complex file structure, using RoboHelp 8.0. Here is a history of the problem:
1. The application suddenly quit, and I received the error message: "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
2. I reinstalled RoboHelp, even moved the project to a different computer with a fresh install of RoboHelp, and the application still quit every time I try to open the .xpj file.
3. I renamed the old .xpj file and clicked on the .hhk file to restore.
4. I received a number of "illegal file" errors as a result of old pdf (baggage) files that had an apostrophe in the file name. (I have addressed these files per file name).
5. I was able to open the project BRIEFLY from the .hhk.
6. As soon as I opened the Table of Contents, the project closed and I again received the message: "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I'm trying again, but I have a deadline to meet, and no files available. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Helen S.

I'm having the same issue with one of my RoboHelp 8 projects
when I initially tried to open the project. I renamed the .cpd file and am able to work without the message appearing.
However, one of the many times when I got the "RoboHelp has to close" error, my
table of contents, index, and glossary files were emptied. They're still there, but there's no content.
Do you think this is a separate issue, or something related?

How can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the duration of the original audio clips?

This question is for Logic Express.
I have many very short audio clips that I recorded into my project.
I want to adjust the project tempo so that I can use the snap grid to make a beat out of my short audio clips. But when I change the project tempo, it automatically adjusts the lengths of my audio clips.
So how can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the original audio clips?

The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties. I just found this thread that might better explain it:

Hi
Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

How can I import an project .imoviemobile file to imovie 10.0.6 on my mac book for further processing

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

Error opening a Microsoft Project 2007 file

I am receiving an error when trying to open a Project 2007 file. There is no error code. The error says "The operation cannot be completed because the source file contains invalid project data or the total number of rows would exceed the limit
of 1,048,000 rows in a project."

Here's one suggestion
If you can't even open the file you may be out of luck. With Project
active but no projects open, try turning off automatic calculation
(Tools/Options/Calculation tab). You may get lucky and then be able to
open the file. If you can, first look for links on summary lines since
they are the most prominent cause for circular relationships. Remove
links and summary lines and then turn calculation back on. If that
solves the problem, you might be OK. If that doesn't solve the problem,
follow the steps in FAQ 43 - File Bloat? Might be corruption, which you
can find on our MVP website at:
http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm.
If none of the above works, you might try sorting by Unique ID.
Sometimes an inadvertent keystroke can create a rogue task that is way
out in left field. If there is a blank task name for the highest Unique
ID, then delete that task and see if that helps.
=======
And some more
First I suggest installing SP-1 if you have not already.
Then try method 4 from FAQ 43 at
http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm. If
you cannot open the file, methods 1,2, and 3 are not available. Method
2 also only works with versions 2003 and earlier.
Neither are a guarantee of course.
You may need to resort to a backup copy of the file.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

In Premiere Elements 11 how do I delete projects & associated files & folders?

How do I delete projects & associated files & folders once I've finished with the project in Premiere Elements 11. There is information available for Premiere Elements 7 but not for 11

How can I export a comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie?

Can I export an AE comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie? In regard to tweaks or timing changes based on that projects' needs.

First, save the project in a different name. Delete out the comps & precomps you neither want nor need. Run AE's reduce project command to remove any unused footage, then save it again. Now you have a simplified project, which you can then import into any AE project you want.
If you like things nice & tidy, don't forget to use the replace layer (Alt-drag, Opt-drag) trick on any duplicated footage, using the footage from the project into which you import the simplified project. The alternative: just leave all the footage alone, and know you can't delete it.

Import-Export of track add some old projects and files.

When we Forward one track to to created new one, and open projects in Development Studio,

So question is - how to export one track so it would appear in studio same way, but not "open all old existed" way?
As well very interested reason why so happens ?
thanks

Hi Vladimir,
I am not sure I fully understand your question, but if you'd like to copy a track to an other one, then I can suggest you to go for replication. This way you can keep the whole version history as well.
Replicating a Track into a Different DTR Repository (despite the title of this article I was confirmed by the development support that you can also use this procedure to replicate into the same DTR, not only into a different one)

Thank you!
