Can I reconnect old Render Files?

Couldn't find a posting directly addressing this. I apologize in advance if it has been covered a thousand times. Here's my post.
I've opened a FCP 6.0.3 project that has a sequence edited with the AJA 10bit uncompressed codec. Because I did not have this codec on my computer I changed the sequence codec to BlackMagic 8bit. The worse part is I accidentily saved the project. THAT'S when I realized that I could have installed the AJA codec and then been able to use the Render Files associated with that sequence. So, now I can open the sequence just fine, but of course I have to re-render the entire sequence.
*Is it not possible to reconnect previous render files (after saving the project)?*

Because what FCP typically does is throw the unreferenced render files into the trash. So they are most likely gone.

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

How can I Import old lbi files to DW8 - solved

A fast search here found me nothing so if someone knows of a
post feel free to point me there.
A year or so ago my DW4 started crashing to desktop everytime
I opened it, I haven't done much webwork the last few years so it
wasn't that important but now I just purchased DW8 and if I can't
get the old library files to work with the new version I am in for
a world of editing I don't want to deal with to re-create them all
and update every page that has one (groan).
I bet if DW didn't crash to desktop I could have exported the
old one and imported to DW8? But I can't so don't tell me to do
that :). I MAYYYYYY be able to do it on an old laptop that I think
it still worked on so that is a last resort, but how can there not
be some way for the modern DW to scan for old site files that
existed? I don't get it.

DW8 and DW4 were identical in the way that they create
Library items.
> There used to be a library window that let you click
insert or you
> could drag & drop the files into a page...
There still is. It's in the Assets tab of the Files Panel.

How can I omit FCPX Render Files from a Time Machine backup?

I want to be able to add my Final Cut Projects and Events folders to Time Machine, but annoyingly Apple have decided to put a Render Files folder within each and every Events folder.
Is there a way of moving the folders to a different location on the hard drive, such as a Caches folder? Or is there some way of telling Time Machine to ignore folders containing the words "Render Files" (using some kind of script perhaps)?

Backups For FCP works like Pro Versioner, only backs up project files, not the media.
CCC will work over networks. I have it running on enterprise systems for my consulting clients. It is a fully professional level backup solution. TimeMachine is a hobbiest, end user app, and doesn't have the control and flexiblity as CCC.
TimeMachine backsup ever few minutes, when things change, and eats up processor resources constantly. CCC can be scheduled. So many advantages of CCC over TimeMachine. One is professional, one is hobbiest, that is basically it.

Can't read old ddf-file

I have some old ddf-files of 10 years ago and I can't open them.
When I open an old .ddf I can see Ultiboard is starting and making a screen and then ..... the computer hangs.
The old .sch from Ulticap I can read by opening the .sch and save it as .utsch.
In Ultiboard there is no such a possibility because the files still end with .ddf.
Can I convert this .ddd-files?
Ptr

Hello PtrZet,
Which new versions of Multisim and Ultiboard are you using now?
Regarding Ultiboard you should be able to open .ddf files coming from versions Ultiboard 4 & 5.
Which version were you using?
Older files that are coming from earlier versions should first be opened in Ultiboard 5 and saved in one of the supported formats.
More information can be found already on the following pages:

Running Logic 8, but can't open old LSO files

I have a few two old LSO files that I need to open, but can't because I am running 8. It says that I have to have Logic Pro version 7.2.1 in order to convert.
If you can help me out - i.e. if you can open and convert my files to new sessions that can open in Logic 8/9 - then I'd be happy to reimburse you for your time.
Please shoot me a message, and we can talk further. Looking to make this happen ASAP.
Thank you!

How old? InDesign can only PM files from version 6.0 and later.
If they're older than that you'll need to open them PM 7 and resave them.

Can you remove Old Backup files from Time Machine sooner?

So I'm aware that the default settings state that Time Machine will start to delete old backup files from your saved destination once that destination starts to approach full storage capacity. But what if you are not looking to fill up most of your storage capacity with Time Machine backups? Is there a way where you can cut the delete threshold in half and have Time Machine delete old backup files sooner rather than later?

See Pondini's TM FAQs, for starters.

How can I open old cwk files using OS X 10.8.4?

I have tried to open old cwk files using Pages, using Numbers and using Keynote as well as trying to open them with Word or even OpenOffice. However, the most I can get is what looks like gibberish. Any suggestions? Thanks

Don't know if you found a solution to your cwk File problem but I had the same problem and solved it by downloading this program and was able to open my old cwk files.
libreoffice That will oppen old cwk files and its free (by donation)
Hope this helps?

Can I Run Old Logic Files

I have old logic files from Logic Gold 4.8 that I can no longer run (dead dongle--I'm still funing about that). Do y'all know if LE 8 express will run them--even with some plug-ins lost--so that I can at least have sessions still accessible?
Many thanks,
MG

Thanks so much--you just saved me $200. If I may follow up: I had been using Logic 4.8 on a PC, and I would be shifting them to LE7 on the mac. Would that cause any trouble, or can those PC session files be read on the mac by LE7?
It has been two years since I've been able to work with those old files, and I'd be willing to just re-buy the old dongle for now, but Apple doesn't support the old logic stuff.
I very much appreciate your response above and any other input from folks on the forum.
Best,
Mitch G.

Can't reconnect edited TIFF files back into library

There's a big problem I'm having.
After a vault restore, Aperture won't let me reconnect my edited tiff files. I open the "manage referenced files" dialogue and I navigate to the image, but I can't reconnect them. The "reconnect" buttons are greyed out. Here's a couple of pix of what's happening:
http://amrosario.com/Aperture001.jpg
http://amrosario.com/Aperture002.jpg
Not to mention that with some images, Aperture is recorded the wrong file size (as seen in my second screenshot).
I need help desperately!
Antonio

Thanks for all the words of help.
What is strange about this is this:
I'm working with NEF raw files from a D2X.
Before my hard drive issue, I did some editing of the raw files in Aperture. Then, I had Aperture send the tweaked file to Photoshop for more editing. Aperture sent over a 16bit tiff file. The file was about 70 megs in size (a 12.4 megapixel file @16 bits). Fine.
So, I did some editing and resizing in Photoshop and ended up with a layered TIFF file which was about 300 megs in size. Fine.
I saved it and went back to Aperture. Aperture took a minute or two to update the thumbnail. Fine - it's a big file. So far, everything was working as it should.
Back in Aperture, the edited TIFF was (automatically) stacked with the raw NEF file. Fine.
Then... HARD DRIVE ISSUE (actually, a raid failure, but that's another story).
After many hours or rebuilding and restoring from a saved vault, I get this issue where Aperture cannot find the stacked, edited tiffs. Ok, fine, so....
I go to the "manage referenced files" command and navigate to the tiff files stored on my hard drive and bingo....
No go...
But the strange thing is (and you can see it in my second screenshot above) that aperture is looking for a 70meg image where the edited image is actually much larger. If you look at this screenshot ( http://amrosario.com/Aperture002.jpg ) you can see that Aperture is looking for a 70.1mb file at 2852x4296 pixels. This is what Aperture originally sent over to Photoshop for me to edit. The actual edited file was saved (and cataloged by Aperture before my HARD DRIVE ISSUE) as a 236.8mb file at 3419x5150 pixels (this was the edited version.
After my hard drive issue and restore from vault, Aperture "forgot" that I had edited the image and enlarged it. It is looking for the 16bit TIFF that it originally sent to Photoshop when I first started to edit the image.
This is the big problem and, I think, bug in Aperture.
I have since reimported the TIFF files and will re-stack them with the original NEFs. But this is a lot of work.
I'm wondering if someone from the Aperture team can help figure this out.
I hope that I've made the problem clearer. This is hard to do with words.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Antonio

Upgraded to C4, removed C3 - now can't open old C3 files with C4

Hi,
I have been using demo version of C4 and upgraded today.
My system automatically opened C4 files with C3 first of all so decided to remove C3 from my sytem.
Now i can't open any of my old C3 files in C4. what heppens is C4 says it needs to reformat the project so it can be used in C4 as expected. The system goes away and does it stuff but no differnt file is produced. I try to open the original C3 file and have to go round same loop again with no success.
Please Help as i can't do any work until i can open files.
Thank you, Ellen

Hi Julie
The post you replied to was apparently spam. I've deleted the post and reported the person that posted it.
If you are still seeing issues, please report this to Adobe as a possible bug. (Link is in my sig)

Reconnect simple render files!

This should work, I would think . . . but it doesn't seem to!
Say I have a project with a lot of clips that need rendering. I'm storing my media on an external firewire drive. And rendering it to my scratch disk, which is a third drive. All Mac formatted - all works perfectly!
So I have the timeline - on the original computer (a Mac Pro) - and I copy it to my MacBook Pro to continue editing upstairs, say. But I take the data drive with me, so everything links perfectly.
So I change the time line a bit - and put the "new" slightly changed timeline back on the Mac Pro original computer. FCPro finds all data and relinks it all perfectly!
EXCEPT . . . all the render files - which were never moved to begin with. It's a "new" timeline, although 98% identical - just with a few edit changes. BUT . . . FCPro finds NONE of my renderings.
Now it wants 45 minutes to rerender the timeline! Grrrr . . . why can't FCPro "find" the render clips just like it finds the data clips - which is perfectly.
Oh, there are 30 gig of render clips in the 'Render Files' folder on my scratch disk. So they're there - FCPro just doesn't know it, or can't find them, even if directed to the right folder.
I'm hoping I'm wrong here . . . so I guess my question is, will FCPro find its render clips as well as it finds the data clips - if you move the timeline to another computer and back - but change nothing?
It doesn't seem to - and it's really slowing me down!
Thank you,
Larry

Because what FCP typically does is throw the unreferenced render files into the trash. So they are most likely gone.

How can i open old flash files in MX

I'm trying to open some old flash files that were created in
the late 80's (honest). i have flash MX but it won't open or import
these files. when i get info on the files, they want to be opened
in flash 8 but that won't launch without classic (which no longer
runs on my macbook pro).
any tips would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

Check the folder for the songs on your external hard drive. Is the session file still contained in each one? The session file's the one with the .ses ending.

Can't open old RoboHelp file

I have an old.mpj file given to us from a client that I'm trying to open with the trial version of RoboHelp 8. I get the error "Projects created before version 2.23 cannot be opened with this version of RoboHelp. Call Macromedia technical support for assistance opening this project."
Does anyone have any ideas on how to open this file or extract the data from it? I'm very new to this!
Thanks,
Jason

NM. I didn't realize I could just decompile the chm file with HTML Help Workshop.
