Can't open Backup File in FCPX

After a software update, when we open Pro my students events and projects are gone. I see the project and event files in the backup folder, and I tried deleting the current version of the project and replacing with the backup, but the backup will only open in TextEdit - there is no option to bring it into FCP . I can't get the backup to open in FCP. Help!

Ok - here is the folder where the files are located:
The project you see is the backup file that has been renamed.
This shows where the file is located.
Does this help or do you need more info?

  • Transferred backup file from old to new laptop but can't open backup file in new iTunes

    Hi
    I've purchased the new iPhone 5, however, it won't allow me to backup from my iTunes from my old laptop (where my 4S's backup was) because iTunes 10.7 can't operate on OSX 10.5.8. So I transferred the backup file onto my new macbook air. When I plugged my new phone into the laptop and opened up iTunes, where can I find the option to set up my phone according to the backup that I transferred to the new macbook?
    Thanks!

  • Can I open FCP6 files in FCPX

    Thinking about buying a new imac but am running FCP6 on my MacBoook Pro (as it's too old to run FCP7). Will I be able to open my FCP 6 projects in FCP X on the new machine?

    CS6 was the last version capable of opening Pagemaker files. It's included with Cloud subscriptions, so if you don't have it installed (or an earlier version) you can download it from your cloud subscription.
    To open them you use File > Open..., but the quality of conversion can range between nearly perfect and total garbage, depending on the PM file and the status of links (unembed images before trying to convert).

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,

  • I can not open PDF files in safari

    I can not open PDF files in safari. How can I fix this problem?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie.  I used drag and drop to copy them.

    I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie.  I used drag and drop to copy them.

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

  • I can't open pps files with FF4. I have Powerpoint Viewer installedAny suggestions?

    I can open Powerpoint (pps) files with Google Chrome but not Firefox 4. How do I get FF4 to associate pps files with the Powerpoint Viewer that is installed on my computer?

    Many thanks!!!  This works and is probably the best fix for now.  Thank you!!!

  • I can't open pdf files.  The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

    I can't open pdf files. 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Finder not working, when click the infinity sigh comes, can't open any file

    finder not working, when click the infinity sigh comes, can't open any file?

    That could be an indication your drive is failing. If you do not have a current Backup, that is top priority.

  • I can't open .pkg files.  i get an error telling me to choose an application to open them.  the Installer app is not in my Utilities folder or in System/Library/CoreServices.

    i can't open .pkg files.  i get an error telling me to choose an application to open them.  the Installer app is not in my Utilities folder or in System/Library/CoreServices.

    Install the UnArchiver and try again.
    http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver
    There is no Installer.app in the Utilities or Applications folder, there is one in the System/Library/CoreServices.
    If yours is not there, then you need to:
    1: Backup your data off the machine to a non-TimeMachine drive and disconnect all drives.
    2: If you have TM, try to restore the Installer.app from the TM drive and reboot. See if things work.
    If the above doesn't work, your going to have to re-install just OS X 10.6 (and bundled programs) from the disk by holding c and booting off the 10.6 disk and simply installing OS X. Then software updating to 10.6.8.
    This will replace all bundled programs and OS X, not touch your files (backup regardless) and most third party programs.
    Some third party programs will have to be reinstalled form original sources because they install Kext files into OS X and thus kicked out by the 10.6 reinstall form disk.
    All should go well, however if you boot to a gray screen or other freeze, reboot holding the shift key down, then update all your third party software to be current to 10.6.8.
    Another method is to re-install in to CoreServices the Installer.app from the 10.6 disk using the extraction program called Pacifist from CharleSoft, then running software update to get any updates for Installer.app.

  • HT3775 how can i open the file MPEG-2 Video, AC3 on my mac, when its coming from a sony camcorder?

    how can i open the file MPEG-2 Video, AC3 on my mac, when its coming from a sony camcorder?

    I think those files are Samsung's proprietary format, so only the Samsung software can open and display them.  If they do not make their software for OS X, then you are stuck requiring windows.
    I thought the DVR itself lets you save as standard avi as the backup file format?

    The advice you've received previously seems pretty solid, so let's troubleshoot the problem.

    PLease help tech unsavvy struggler. After a grey screen and damaged HD that will not repair I was advised to copy my HD and Leopard installation to a new drive, then erase the HD and reinstall. But now can't open anything as my password wont work anymore.
    Let's concentrate on this portion of text only.
    Gray screen: usually means non-woriking or uninstalled HD
    Won't repair: makes perfect sense, since you no longer have access to HD
    Advised to copy HD and Leopard installation to a new drive, then erase the HD and reinstall: This is the most important text. It seems you don't use a backup drive. And since your HD is damaged/not working, you need to do the following: (1) remove the faulty drive, (2) install the new drive, (3) when you turn on your MBP, you may need to erase the newly installed HD, and this is where you have the problems. Describe, in detail, what's happening on your MBP screen. Is it still gray? What message are you getting? Where is it asking you for a password, and when?
    I'm intereste: since your MBP drive is dead, how are you accessing this forum?

  • Can't open .msg files more then once, saved or as an attachment to an email

    we use :
    microsoft xp & office/outlook 2003
    can't open .msg files more then once, saved or as an attachment to an email
    If we save an email as a outlook.msg file , we can only open it once, close it,
    when trying to open it again it gives an error that it is not possible due to a scurity issue or it is already open.
    After closing outlook and starting it again, we can open it once again.
    Same when clicking an .msg that is attached to an email, but here we can switch to another email, go back to the one and open it again.
    We have installed all updates for both xp and office 2003 also internet explorer 8.0 to test if that would work, normally we have ie7.0.

    1 Translated from dutch as good as i know :
    "Can't open : c:\test.msg, it might not exist, do you have the required permission to open the file or is it open in another application. Click
    with the right mousebutton on the map click properties to view/check the rights for that map."
    2 tried both, the network and locally, i have the rights to save it in the map and open it once, so thats not the problem, iseems that outlook locks the file after it is openen once.
    3 security and ntfs permissions are ok, see 2
    4 tried it from different pc's networks maps etc.
    5 done.
    6 in a pst file the msg can be openen ore than once, but thats not the problem, tried and this works, but i need to save an email as an .msg file.
    7 addins removed and doen all of that part, didn't help.
    We also have tried:
    -Installing all updates and ie8
    -going back to xp sp2 (fresh install of xp)
    Only thing that did work was an msg file attached to an email, we couldn't open that more then once,
    but after  checking "Use exchange modus with cache" at the account properties we could open that more than once.
    Now we need to be able to open the email's saved as .msg more then 1 time.
