Can I rescue this old project?

When I managed to get an old external drive up and running I discovered an old unfinished project (dated August 2002) about my trip to Italy. I had thought I had lost this project. Naturally I want to rescue and complete this iMovie project now. I am now using imovie HD 6, but have access to all the old iMoive versions (including for old classic Mac OS).
When I tried to open this old project in iMovie classic version, I got a long series of messages for clips saying, " Something is wrong with scoreboard pluggin etc" and then another long series of messages like, "Can't open the centered title 02; skipping it" etc. etc. Nothing opens. Is the problem that I am running Mac OS 10.4.5 and classic does not work? Other ideas about what is causing this problem? Is there any hope of coming up with solution?
Thanks in advance,

Was the old project created in Mac OS 9 or in Classic? (Classic is Mac OS 9 running inside Mac OS X, but some versions of iMovie ran in REAL Mac OS 9, after booting the computer in Mac OS 9.)
If it was created in Mac OS 9, try rebooting your computer in 9 and editing it with the version of iMovie you used there.
You might want to make a backup of the project before doing anything, however.
If you strike out, look inside the old iMovie project folder. If it contains a movie file with the same name as the project, double-click on it. If it opens in QuickTime Player it can be exported to a new iMovie HD 6 project. Everything on the timeline of the original project will arrive as a single clip in iMovie 6, and play in the proper order.
Trying to CONVERT very old projects like this to iMovie 6 can be problematic, so it's better to find another way. Importing the video is usually better.

  • ICloud storage space used up by old data from 1st gen iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. Can't backup any info for mini or new 6 plus. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

    My iCoud storage space is being used up by old data from a 1st  generation iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. The people at the sprint store where I made my trade were supposed to transfer everything over from my old iPad to the new Mini once they backed up the old device to iCloud. Well, long story short, none of the data ever got transferred to the new iPad, but it all got backed to iCloud, eating up all my storage space. Here I am almost 2 years later, and I've never been able to back-up my iPad mini. What's worse, My iPhone 4 wasn't backed up that whole time, and now I can't back-up my data from my new iPhone 6 Plus to iCloud either. Trying to find creative ways to store and save my information and data between all my devices is getting to be ridiculous. I don't want to upgrade my storage space though...just want to clear out a great deal of what is already being stored. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

    The only way to access data from an iCloud backup is to restore it to your device.  You could, for example, back up your iPad mini to your computer using iTunes (by connecting it, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up and choosing to back up apps and transfer purchases when prompted), then erase it and restore the old iPad backup (as explained here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud), save any recovered data you want to keep, then restore your iTunes backup back to your iPad mini (by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).
    Once you're done with the old backup, delete it from your account to free up the space.

    Is your problem that have these VIs in your block diagram, but you can not find them in your palette? Then is is not a problem . They have to come from somewhere on your disk.  It is a simple task to edit your palettes

    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

  • Hello, I do have the software and license Elements 9 but my new computer doesn't have a cd-driver. Can I download this old version?

    Bought the new mac 10.9.4 which doesn't has a dvd-drive. I already transfered the software successfully from my old mac and saved it, but it doesn't work. I get the following message: "Installer failed to initialize. Download Adobe Support Advisor to identify the problem. .... but "ASA" does not exist ...
    Is there a possibility to download the Elements 9 and register my license?

  • Can labview do this? Project to Function pallette.

    Is there an easy way for labview to automatically add the current project right to a palette in LV 8.5.   It would be very nice to have the current project hierarchy avaliable in the functions pallete.  This saver having to navigate to the project window and drag vi on the block diagram (curently my fastest method of adding project code to a new vi).  If this is not in there it is a feature which could save me time in the long run (a few seconds done hundreds of times a week really adds up).

    Insofar as I know the palette will not allow you to insert a link to a project. All that you can do is insert a directory. I don't have LabVIEW 8.5, but I don't believe it contains any methods to programmatically access the palette set. I think the only thing you can do is to create multiple menus in your "User Libraries" or "Favorites" for the projects that you use.

  • HT5958 The latest update has already caused problems, Final Cut can't find my old projects and events to update. Can anyone offer any advise?

    On update Final cut updated some of my projects and events bringing them into the new interface. I had older projects that I didn't want visible before the update in folders labled 'Final Cut Events (Hidden)'. The update couldn't see these and since I can't find a way of bringing them into Final cut 10.1.
    Every attempt ends with a message indicating that no projects can be found.
    Any advise welcome.

    Move them out of there and put them in the correct FCP project folder structure.

  • How to import the old project to new project in P6

    Hi new guy here.Sorry if this thing have been posted before.I am kinda new here.
    I just wonder if can I import an old project to new project in P6?
    I have already finished with the project,but then as something happened I need to make it as a new project.So how can I used all the information I have on the old project to be transfer to the new one?
    If can how?I need to change certain things like date,resource,etc.
    Thanks

    hello.
    there are other more elaborate (and depending on size and scope of modifications, possibly useful) options including Methodology Management, but to keep it simple, try the following:
    if you have an initial baseline of the existing project, restore it and go from there. let me know if you need help on that.
    if not, copy-paste the existing project and manually adjust the newly created one. you can use "global changes" and/or "fill down" (see help and/or available related posts for this) to clear progress data such as actual resource/ expense units and costs, then activity start dates (in this order).
    make sure you baseline your projects before you start imputting actual data.
    good luck.

  • How can I delete an old iCloud account for which I do not remember the password?  The email address linked to that account is no longer active.

    The email linked to that account is no longer active.  How can I delete this old account and use a new one?

    Although your profile says you're running iOS 5.1.1 it sounds like you're running iOS 7 (otherwise you would not need your password to delete the old account).  Assuming that's true, and your iCloud ID has changed but you need to delete the old account in order to change to your new one, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

    My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

    Hello jlfromcorona,
    Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac.  See this article for instructions.

  • What's a good codec to install for old projects?

    I have some projects cut on CS4.  Tried opening with Premiere CS and I'm getting error in regards to the codec.  I'm assuming this is in regards the .avi files.  The files where originally captured with the Canon mkII.  I used Neo Scene to covert them to .avi files.  It's just this old projects from a couple years ago that  have trouble.  I cut a video this past year with new footage with no problems.  At one time in the past, I installed Main Concepts codec to solve the problem. 

    AVI is a wrapper, what is inside YOUR wrapper - Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?

  • Can i use my old phone with verizon prepaid plans

    I bought a prepaid gophone from AT&T some months ago. But now I want to test how good Verizon's coverage is. Can I use this old phone I bought from AT&T's website (a Pantech Link) with Verizon's pay as you go plan? Or do I have to buy a phone from Verizon?
    Thanks,
    Timothy

    Verizon Wireless and ATT use two different networks for their voice services. The GSM phone from ATT won't work on the CDMA network used by Verizon Wireless. You need a Verizon Wireless branded device.

  • How can I remove an old version of Lightroom ? I use Mountain Lion on Mac.

    Hello,
    I upgrade from Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5. There was no problem. My pictures have been imported in Lightroom 5. But Lightroom 3 was not removed from my computer. How can I remove this old version in a good way ?
    I use Mountain Lion on Mac.
    Thanks

    I'm not a Mac user. But you remove Lightroom just like you would remove any other application from your system. If you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade it probably depended on knowing the serial number of your Lightroom 3. I suggest that you store that Lightroom 3 serial number somewhere you'll remember because it will be needed if/when you decide to upgrade to a newer version of Lightroom.
    And, just to clarify, there is no interdependence between your Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 3. They are separate, independent applications.
