Why does it say my event is already open with the same identifier so the second document cannot be opened?

I have been working for 7 hours today on a major 3-month project. Everything was okay until I closed it and tried to open it. I received this error:
"/Volumes/MediaSAN4/Workbench/HRL /Final Cut Events/Move-In is already open with the same identifier as /Volumes/MediaSAN4/Workbench/HRL /Final Cut Events/Move-In, so the second document cannot be opened.
Move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. To avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro."
not sure what it wants me to do.
When i hit ok EVERY event is gone. all projects say missing event. Even the two I'm not working on. I'm so frustrated I've thought about starting the project over in 7 but I want to stick with it.
I work for a university and have not been able to find help, even from my boss. The only thing I have found to fix it is to dismount the drive (mediasan4) and then remount it and it reconnects everything. But this can't be a good way to work. There are no duplicate events anywhere. there IS for some reason a duplicate mediasan4 drive in the project library, but not under the events library. I have been working in one and everytime I make an edit to my projects in there it makes the changes to the other one. I cannot find a way to delete it. We just reinstalled fcpx a few days ago.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Oh yea sorry about that, but yes sir, I sure am. The SAN not the drive. I have tried renaming the event as well. Thanks for checking though.

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just creat

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just created on the new disk. It says the second document cannot be opened and to move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. It also says to avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro, but that is what I did in the first place. What should I do to avoid the double opening conflict?

HT204053 Why does it say that there was a problem with a previous purchase and not let me download apps?

Everytime I try to download a new app it says that there was a problem with a previous purchase and then it said that my card was declined

These are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know what the problem with the previous purchase might be.
Does the name and address on your credit card match exactly the name and address on your iTunes account, and have you checked with your card issuer to see if they are ones who are declining it ?

Combining two accounts? And why does CC say "install" when I already subscribe to the app (LR) and it is already installed?

Hi guys,
Couple problems (which I've had for years).
1) I have two accounts for some reason under two separate email addresses. So for starters, I'd like to combine them, how?
2) I subscribe to the $9.99 photography deal. When I am signed in, CC sees that Photoshop is installed and up to date (or whatever), but next to Lightroom, it says "install". Besides just being wrong, I am concerned I am missing updates as CC doesn't even know I have the app installed.
Please help.
Thanks...

The version of Lightroom available through the Creative Cloud Desktop application is licensed differently than the version installed with a perpetual serial number. I would recommend removing your current installation of Photoshop Lightroom and then reinstalling through the Creative Cloud Desktop application. You can find more details regarding the uninstall and install process at Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps.

Why does it say my PC is not compatible with iCloud?

Why cant I download update my itunes to have icloud on my old PC? I just got a new iphone and cant sync them. HELP!

It might help for me to tell the whole story. I have a Dell laptop with Vista on it. I used forever with iTunes for y iPod. When I got an iPhone 4 I used it as well. I never updated the iTunes download for unknown reasons, so I never had iCloud on my iPhone 4. I recently got a new laptop and couldn't just iCloud my iTunes account to my new laptop. Yesterday I traded my iPhone 4 for a 4s and I am unable to get any content on my new phone because my old iTunes on my dell with vista won't download it. It says "windows installer is missing" a file to install the newer version of iTunes. Thanks for all your help.

Why does it say my coupon code is "Invalid coupon code. Please check the coupon code and re-enter."

When I enter my coupon code to get my serial number it says "Invalid coupon code. Please check the coupon code and re-enter." It is the correct coupon code. And I have just deactivated my lisence on my old computer.

If you had not deactivated it on the old computer and it is a Windows machine there would have been a chance of getting it using Belarc Advisor
(http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html). I do not know if you can still do so.

Why does my iPad storage tell me its full with 20gb of photos when the photos folder is empty?

The storage on my iPad is nearly full-its states that i have 21gb of photos on it but the photos folders are empty. i cannot back up or sync as there is not enough space...how do i delete something that is not there?

Try this...
Open Photos App
select "Albums"
Look for "My Photo Stream" and see if that's empty or not.
The photo stream is basically a shared album that will include all photos associated with your apple ID and can grow very quickly - and quietly.
If that's your problem you can learn more about Photo Stream, and how to disable it, here: My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Good Luck.

Why does apps say to renew my plan when i try to open them but it is already renewed

Why does apps say to renew my plan when i try to open them but it is already renewed

Hi Lolo DaBoss,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
Since you have three CC under same Adobe ID out of which one is expired, so you are getting the reminders.
Please log out & log back in of the CC desktop App , it should resolve the issue.

ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
"After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
Any thoughts, anyone?
