Can't Open Captivate 3 Project in Captivate 2

I created a Captivate 3 movie and now I need to open and edit
it in Captivate 2 on a separate PC. When I try to open it I'm asked
if I want to Save As or Overwrite the file, odd for a file >
opening process. Regardless, I get a message back that the file is
unsupported or damaged. This occurs with two separate movies, so I
doubt that's the case.
Help!

Hi Mill Creek Guy and welcome to our community
Unfortunately, you cannot open Captivate projects from a
newer version in an older. The only path that works is when moving
from older to newer.
One possible way around this is by creating a totally fresh
blank project in Captivate 2 that is sized identically to the one
you created in 3. Then you open both Captivate 2 and Captivate 3 on
the same PC. Copy slides from the newer to the older. Of course, if
you used features of Captivate 3 that Captivate 2 doesn't know
about, you may see some odd behavior.

I can not open my iMovie project

I can not open my iMovie project. Everytime I click on it, the spinning wheel keeps spinning and spinning until I force quite the iMovie. Please help?

OK Let's take a step back.
If you imported video clips from a camcorder there would be an Events folder in the Movies/iMovie Events/ folder.
You have the option as you import from a camcorder to send your Event to an external drive instead. In this case, it would be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the external drive.
If your project has no video clips, but only photos, there may be no events folder, only links to iPhoto.
Similarly, if your camera imported your video clips to iPhoto, and you used the iPhoto event in iMovie, then your clips are in iPhoto, and there is no separate iMovie event.

Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer than my own? If so how?

Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer other than my own? If so how?

If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.

This method didn't work for me, I've created an alternate thread for mi case. I'd appreciate any other alternative.

I can't open old IMovie project done with ILife09

I can't open old IMovie project done with ILife09 on my new MacBook Pro Retina with Lion Mountain system.

you can't just move a project that way. It all needs to be contained properly. If you can find the original imovieHD project folder, you can start again.

Can't open captivate 3 project in Captivate 4

Installed Captivate 4. Captivate 3 still installed (don't
want to delte it until I know Captivate 4 works). I open Captivate
4 and browse to open a project created in Captivate 3. I get a
'Can't open file' message with the error code -2147286928.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
mark

Hi Mark
Silly question for you. The project you are attempting to
open in C4 isn't by chance still open in C3 is it?
I know there are issues adding a Captivate output to Robohelp
if the project is still open in Captivate which is what prompted me
to ask.
Cheers... Rick

Can't open Captivate 6 project

I have a Captivate 6 project that when I try to open it, it get's to about 80% load and then the load box disappears and nothing opens. No error message. I have been developing the project on a network drive (I know.....not recommended).
Here's what I've tried so far in terms of solutions that haven't worked:
1. Rename the backup file and try loading that file
2. Move the project file and backup file to the C: drive and try loading from there
3. Clear the cache
I was able to restore to a previous night's file and that file opens ok but I lose 1 day work. Any ideas as to why I can't open my project? Thanks!

Thanks for your response Rod. Yes, I know, I'm a shameless developer who should have never done the lazy network route, but here I stand, begging for mercy from the e-learning Gods!
I now realize that clearing the cache is not the desired solution in this case but unfortunately I read that solution post after already committing the crime, so again, guilty I stand.
I may be pooched in this situation, but I am going to move my project to the C: drive and begin manually backing up. I'm just surprised that the native Adobe backup file solution wasn't helpful in my case.

Can't open Captivate file!

Oh my gosh! You won't believe it! I made all kinds of cool changes, but now I can't open the file. HELP! I have a back-up of the file, but not with the cool changes. Here is the error I get when I try to open it:
Adobe Captivate could not open "the file name". Ensure that:
- The file is not open already (it isn't)
- The file is not damaged. For example, if the file was an email attachment (it wasn't), ensure that you have decoded the file correctly.
- The hard disk has sufficient available space. (probably does, it opened before)
- The system has sufficient resources. To optimize the resources, close all the other open applications (I have)
What now? I'd hate to think that the last 8 hours of work has been wasted. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
Terri

the last time you worked on it, did captivate exit the file strangely? Crash? End Task in the Task Manager (Windows)?
When Cp opens a project file it creates a hidden file that 'locks' the file so no one else can open it. When you close the project, it removes the file. The message you're describing can come up when that file doesn't get removed when Captivate closes. It can also be all those scary things mentioned there.
If you go to the folder options you can 'show hidden files' and remove it manually IF that is really the problem. Make sure you're not running two isntances of captivate and that no one else is working on the file (if it's in a network location) before doing anything.
That message can also come up when a file is created in say Cp 5.5 and you try to open it with Cp5. They're not backwards compatible.

Can't open Captivate 6.0 subscription and can't upgrade to Captivate 7.0

I just tried to open Captivate 6.0 and it is asking me to license the software, per usual. I'm on subscription. Normally clicking the License This Software button logs me in with my user account. Because of the upgrade to 7.0, it now stops at a page requiring a serial number.
I can't upgrade to 7.0 because I am on 10.6.8 (Mac) and that's as high as I can get on OS because of my MacBook version.
WTF Adobe??? I have a deadline of tomorrow and need to use your software -- which I have paid for!!!
Have been on hold waiting for Adobe Captivate product team for 55 minutes (and going) now.
You guys had better sort this out. This is ridiculous!
Also... backwards compatability is kind of essential. i.e., saving a Captivate file to a previous version so that co-worker, client, etc can open it if they have a previous version (even InDesign has this... not as easy as Photoshop or Illustrator, but you can still do it at least). Can you please make that a high priority??? Thank you.

Hi Deidre,
Sorry to hear about your problem.
I will make sure you recieve a call as soon as possible from Adobe to provide any possible help.
Please email thed etails of your Subscription and Machine as well as your Contact number to -- [email protected]
Thanks,
Anjaneai

I can't open Captivate 8 (64x)

i install captivate8 (64x) and i can't open it
it running in Splash Screen and don't have anything
freeze Splash Screen with word " Loading "

Hello ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums !
This issue could be because of corrupt fonts .
Please go to C:\Windows\Fonts and select all of the fonts and move the selected fonts to a temporary folder on the desktop.
After taking the backup go back to that location again and try removing all third party fonts from your machine and keeping only the Fonts used by your OS.
After this try Captivate again and see if it works for you.

Himanshu

Can't open Cp 5 projects in Cp 4

I was using the trial version of Cp 5 and made some edits to projects that I was developing originally in Cp 4. The trial is up and now I can't access the Cp 5 projects and then changes aren't transfering over to the document in Cp 4. I know this is a .cptx issue vs. .cp. Is there any way to open the projects on a computer that has Cp5 and save them in the original .cp?

Hi there
You need to open your original projects. Surely you made backup copies and worked only with those in Captivate 5, right? If you didn't, you are in a bit of a pickle! Captivate projects are not backward compatible. Only forward. And even then you might encounter issues.
Cheers... Rick
