Can't Import Footage 101 Unknown error

Hi, we are having some problems moving captured clips from one system to another. Both systems are on the same version of FCP (6.0.2) and QT (7.4.1). The clips were captured to a scratch disk on an external drive, then moved to a second external drive. The clips will open in Finder and QT on the second system, but when we try to import into FCP it says the following error "0 files recognized, 0 access denied, 101 unknown".
The first system is a Mac Pro (2x2.66GHz) the second is a brand new 20" aluminum iMac. Both running Leopard.
We just ftp'd a single clip from the MacPro to the iMac and it imported no problem. Permissions on the clips on the external drive (that aren't importing) show read and write access.
Any ideas?

In the info box for the external drive, have you selected "ignore permissions on this drive"?
There was a post yesterday suggesting that if the user ids (esoteric Unix stuff) between the two machines don't match, Leopard won't let access happen but Tiger would. Don't know how this pans out for you but it would explain why FTPing the file would work but sneekerneting a drive wouldn't.
Good luck,
x

Can't import AVCHD from camcorder Error C0000005 at address:0

Every time I try to import any files from my camcorder I get a fatal error saying it can't import anything with an error code C0000005 at address 0. This is just the trial version as I'm trying to see if it will do what I want and so far I can't get it to so anything. PC is a Core I5 with 4gb ram and 200gb free drive space on Windows 7 64Bit. I don't like the Sony software so I was hoping this would do it. thanks for any ideas.

This is what I want you to try. I am assuming that you are in a NTSC area. Correct the following for PAL area if necessary.
Copy your AVCHD Full 1920 x 1080i (I am assuming recorded at 30 frames per second or designated 60 fields per second) with its 5.1 channel sound to your computer hard drive.
As you open Premiere Elements, set the project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC AVCHD Full HD 1080i30 5.1 channel.
Using Premiere Elements' Get Media/Files and Folders, bring the video from the saved hard drive location into the Premiere Elements Media/Timeline.
If you are not 100% sure of the quality in the Edit Mode Monitor, you could:
a. try right clicking the video on the Timeline, selecting Field Options from the pop up list, and then see if checking Reverse Field Dominance improves the quality of what you are seeing in the Monitor....I suggest that because I think that you probably recording to a memory stick.
b. render the Timeline by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard to get the best possible preview of the end product
Assuming that is a "go" and after completing your edits, head over to Create Menus. Do that. But, remember, because you have selected a HD project preset, the only DVD menu templates that will be available to you will be HD ones (and you are heading for a DVD-VIDEO widescreen). But, continue nonetheless. Let us see what it will look like.
After Create Menus, preview the menu buttons and the video there. If OK, continue to Share/Disc/Disc and burn to disc (do not get tempted into burn to folder or fall into ImgBurn just yet). In the burn dialog, set the preset for NTSC_Widescreen Dolby DVD that will give you DVD-VIDEO widescreen 16:9. In that same burn dialog, make sure that you have a check mark next to Fit Content to Available Space. When you have your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray, you will see a Quality area in the burn dialog. It will display values for Space Required and Bitrate. If the Bitrate is less than 8, the quality may be impacted because the program is having a problem fitting your content in the space required. But, keep moving forward and hit Burn.
Next, play that back on your TV DVD player and see what that looks like. I have gotten some pretty great results taking a AVCHD 1920 x 1080 to DVD-VIDEO 720 x 480 Widescreen playback on TV DVD Player. More details on that later. By the way, Premiere Elements does not offer Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound for the export, just Dolby Digital Stereo. No Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound even for BluRay.
I will be watching to see how you do.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

LR 2.1 - Importing catalog sees 'Unknown Error' and fails.

Anybody else seen this dialog box?
'Could not import catalog due to unknown error'
This is happening in LR 2.1. First catalog import attempt. I've had no issues previously.
Upon importing, LR will go through the whole process as though importing, and then at the end of the progress bar, I get the above dialog box. And nothing's there. The import failed.
Anyone else seen this? Suggestions?

Hey Geoff,
Great to hear from you, as always. :)
Well, there were more un-cataloged images that may have been contributing to the situation. I had created web-rez images for my client within subfolders of the main client folder. Once I synchronized, the images were added. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error message at the end of my import. Now, the weird thing is, if I import the LR catalog only, it disappears after the error message. But, if I tell the import to include the 'Digital Negatives', which includes all the session files (RAW,PSD, jpegs), after the import and then the error box, everything seems to be there and actually looks fine. At least as far as I can tell. I can see the all the files, the ratings, the keywords, etc. A little un-nerving though to say the least. I'm afraid to dump my original catalog and folders.
FYI, what's going on is that I work on my current client sessions (including all related files) off of my MacBook Pro as my 'Current' catalog. I then have my main LR Catalog (all other images) on a back-up RAID drive. So I'm trying to export from the MBP, over to the back-up RAID LR Catalog.
Again, the 'Export' seems to go fine. Not sure what's going on here.
Thanks for your help and input.

Can't restore iphone 3gs - unknown error occured - error 13

Hi folks,

Press and hold the home button down for about 10 seconds and while holding it down plug it into itunes and keep holding it until it asks you to restore.

Can't import Flip video, getting error -2000

I'd like to view a number of videos made with a Flip Mino HD with an iPod Touch. I'm trying to convert them into iPod format using iTunes 10.0.0.68 on a Windows 7 computer. The videos are 1280x720 mp4.
I can play the videos in iTunes. Altough iTunes is a VERY SLOW player for these files. Other players on this machine (windows media player, vlc, etc) play the videos perfectly. This is a quad-core 3gHz box with 4gb of RAM, so it's not like it's resource-deprived. MP4 videos do require a lot of processing power, but like I said, other players have no trouble at all. iTunes, however, halts and stutters. Other players use about 17% of CPU for these, itunes needs 30% or more. That's not directly relevant to the issue here, just an observation. Anyway...
I can select a video track and then use Advanced->Create iPod or iPhone version. A 'Converting...' icon appears in the left sidebar and the track begins converting. I've tested this with a variety of clips. Even the simplest 22 second clip fails. It's about 29mb in size. I've tried it both from a local drive and from a network share. Same problems. The conversion progress bar appears to get around 75% complete and then it shows this error:
Error occurred while converting the file "2009-12-05 13 16 26". An unknown error occurred (-2000).
What does error -2000 mean in this context?
Where does iTunes create the converted files? What naming does it use for the newly converted movie?

Candygirl,
Can you please give us a bit more information.
Knowing about your computer, the CPU, installed RAM, OS and especially the full details of your I/O, i.e. all of your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type amount of free space on each, plus how you have them allocated.
Then, knowing the settings for your Sequence would be useful, along with the full specs. of the Flip's MP4 files, would be useful.
Good luck, and thanks for that info,
Hunt

Can't install any app, unknown error

i installed some apps in a 5800xm, but since yesterday i cant install any app: i got this
http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/2329/234bcjd.jpg
it say Installation failed, unknown error: 2148532241
I tried to reinstall ovi suite beta, and I restored the default settings in the phone but still got that error, I can not install anything even if I install through Pc Suite
what can i do before i try to hard reset?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

2148532241 means that you have 1GB or less of free space on your expandible memory (the SD). You only have to delete some files and get free space. After that, everything works fine.

HT4623 my ipad can't be updated because unknown error (-23) appear in status how can i updated it

my ipad cant be updated because unknown error appear in status of my ipad software unknown error (-23)

I don't see -23 on this support site, but this is what it says about error code 23. It can't hurt to try these suggestions.
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Can't burn to CD unknown error (-3)

can't burn playlist to CD, unknown error occured (-3). Any suggestions?

How is this related to iPad?
The iPad cannot use cd drives in any way. Assuming you are doing this from iTunes on your computer, perhaps the best place to post this would be in the iTunes forum:

Or even the forum for the OS you are using.

Can't Import WMV Files - Header Error?

Hello, talented and attractive Adobe Forum. Weird problem with Premier Pro CS5 - when I try to import an AVI file I'm getting a message telling me that it can't import the file because of a header error. Can anyone tell me what that means, exactly? These AVI files were converted from MTS files using a freeware program, HD Converter, by Coyote. I've used this app before without a problem and the guy who's using my old software (CS3) is using these files without a problem. Any reason why CS5 might be having this issue with them?
Any advice or suggestions welcome and appreciated.
Thanks!

thanks.
after reading about movie headers, i have come to believe that adobe could support wmv formats. but simply chooses not to do it.
apparently a lot of other software providers have made the same decision.
here is the really funny thing....i tried to make a dvd from the wmv files using microsoft's own dvd maker program
that they ship w windows 7. guess what - that does not work either!!!
apparently no-one, including microsoft, likes the proprietary microsoft format and don't feel like taking the time
to figure it all out. i cannot blame them.
what would be great - if adobe would just let you know that they do not support it, instead of the cryptic error message
about not being able to read the header. but then, adode is like that. they are so obtuse. they remain commited to
providing an incoherent user experience.
in the meantime, you just have to convert these formats.
I found a great shareware program called Hamster. It is totally free and has a lot of great reviews. It is easy to use. you
can get it on cnet.com.
I converted the WMV to AVI, which loaded into Premiere Pro and I was able to finish my video.

Can't import due to permission error

I can't import or drag and drop these mp3's to my iTunes:
http://djjazzyjeff.com/blog/dj-jazzy-jeff-and-ayah-bring-holiday-cheer-with-xmas -time
I've never had problems adding songs to iTunes. I checked my permissions in the +i panel. Both my iTunes folder and the new mp3's are set correct with me as the admin to "read & write"...

Chris
Are you on a local area network or single machine? If you don't have read/write permissions on your own Movies folder there is a problem with your user account. If you are on a stand alone machine the user who set up the mac would be the administrator and would normally have rights to change the permissions on your folder. If you are supposed to be an administrator but can't change permissions try creating a 'root' user. Check out apple documentation for root user accounts though, you can really mess up your system if you don't know what you are doing. If you are a network user it will take someone with an administrator level account to change permissions.

Can't launch iTunes, get unknown error -50

iTunes was runnign fine on my windows 7 laptop, then all of a sudden it wouldn't launch due to "unknown error -50". uninstall/reinstall itunes didn't fix it. ideas?

Itunes support gave me the following instructions which resolved my problem
1) Open iTunes.
2) Clicked on Preferences and under Parental Controls "Disabled Access" to the iTunes Store.
3) Then checked the box to allow access to iTunes U.
When you try loading the store this time, it send you directly to iTunes U with no problem.
If it does, go back into Preferences and enable access to everything and try reloading the store.
