"Can't open file; skipping it and continuing" Part2

I am also having a problem with iMovie 3 not being able to import my dv clip. The clip in it's entirety is about 15 minutes long, way past the 9 minute minimum. When I open the move project containing that clip it only imports the first 1.5 minutes, when I import it I get and error of -40, and knowing that it plays the entire 15+ minutes as qt movie I try to drag the clip into the time frame and get "Can't open file; skipping it and continuing". The clip works fine in iMovie HD at my computer at work. Can I try to splice the clip into smaller clips and exporting to use it at home?

  • How can I open files from Appleworks and Pages 4.3 in Mavericks?

    I have documents I created in Appleworks and Pages 4.3 that I can't open in Pages 5.1 using Mavericks.  How can I open those files?

    Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
    LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.

  • Can't open Files with MIDI and WAV Tracks

    Hey All,
    I can't open some files anymore. They seem to be files that have MIDI drum tracks and WAV tracks. It seems to try to load the MIDI sound 2 times, then NOTHING. I have to click the GB icon in the dock to get the window to show, BUT then the play, rr, ff, ect buttons don't show, and the close, minimize buttons don't respond. The menu bar is REAL twitchy and you can't click on anything. I have to force quit the app. I have tried loading other files with just WAV tracks and they open fine, and some files with fewer(2) number of MIDI tracks.
    I have opened these files before just to listen to them and play with settings but i didn't save them. I have repaired permissions and cleaned the cache, ect. with OnyX.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    UPDATE
    Talked to Apple Support and we went through all the Rapair Permissions, Clean Cache, Prefs, Ect. Finally saw that when I switched to Project Mode, THAT was Freezing the Garageband Screen. (The Files that were screwed were saved in the Project Mode, so when they opened up they were still in the Project Mode) We Finally unplugged all External things and Rebooted to Safe Mode, and then tried again.
    And 2 and a half hours later Garageband now works fine. Nice to have apple techs stuborn enough to keep going.

  • Help! Whenever I try to open one important file on icloud pages it says 'can't open file' - on my computer and ipod, too! Can I retrieve it?

    I have a very important document and it is saved only o the icloud (which I thought would be fine). Only now, whenever I try to open it it gives me the message 'can't open file'. I'm a PhD student, and that file represents a lot of work for me. I did it on the ipad because I had to travel, and now I'm kicking myself. I need that file! Is there any way to get it back?

    Thanks for your suggestion - I have tried that like 50 times (I was feeling the desperation and thought if I reset enough times it would do it), and I have also tried turning off and on the cloud, adding .pages to the filenames, downloading (didn't work) emailing to myself (did work, wouldn't open). When I looked at the package contents of the file, it did not have a file for content in it - or not one I can find. I'm afraid that it's lost the content within the file (though I don't now how it could!).
    I've not had any joy with anything else I have read online. I think it's a more knotty problem than a simple off/on again job!

  • How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying “Can’t open file” etc., etc. I’ve tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens. 
    What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb.  Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

  • How can i open the directory/​folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it?

    How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it? any example would be nice.
    thanks

    In the File I/O>>Advanced File Functions Palette is a function named "List directory". This function will give you two arrays. One contains the names of all subdirectories the other the names of all files. If you want to sort them by name use the array sort function. If you want to sort them by another attribute use the File/Directory Info function to get more data. Use a cluster which contains the attribut to sort and the original index of the name. Then sort this array.

  • When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can't open file "~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html." How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion.

    When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.

    Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites.  If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
    If there is no Domain file there do the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Can't open file syntax.vim

    I have vim installed from extra (x86_64). When I start vim I get the following error:
    $ vim
    Error detected while processing /etc/vimrc:
    line 41:
    E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/syntax/syntax.vim
    Error detected while processing /home/nsmoot/.vimrc:
    line 63:
    E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/syntax/syntax.vim
    Press ENTER or type command to continue
    There is not a "current" directory on my system...
    # find / -name "syntax.vim" -print
    /usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim

    I had this problem, but the culprit was mercurial for me.
    If you're getting the vim72 error check what's in that directory.
    The only file in there for me was..
    # ls /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/
    HGAnnotate.vim
    # pacman -Qo /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/HGAnnotate.vim
    /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/HGAnnotate.vim is owned by mercurial 1.3-1
    I tested it first by moving vim72 to vim72.bak and the problem went away, after that I uninstalled mercurial (I never use it)
    Here's the loading order according to the vim documentation:
    You don't normally set $VIMRUNTIME yourself, but let Vim figure it out. This
    is the order used to find the value of $VIMRUNTIME:
    1. If the environment variable $VIMRUNTIME is set, it is used. You can use
    this when the runtime files are in an unusual location.
    2. If "$VIM/vim{version}" exists, it is used. {version} is the version
    number of Vim, without any '-' or '.'. For example: "$VIM/vim54". This is
    the normal value for $VIMRUNTIME.
    3. If "$VIM/runtime" exists, it is used.
    4. The value of $VIM is used. This is for backwards compatibility with older
    versions.
    5. When the 'helpfile' option is set and doesn't contain a '$', its value is
    used, with "doc/help.txt" removed from the end.
    source: http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/starting.html#$VIMRUNTIME
    It was loading #2 for me, removing vim72 directory means it loads #4. (skips #3 since I don't have a /usr/share/vim/runtime dir)

  • [Solved][VIM] E484: Can't open file syntax.vim

    Hi all,
    I've installed Archlinux few days ago on my netbook and yesterday i decided to configure Vim using plugins.
    During plugins configuration, i messed up and i decided to revome all Vim files in my ~ folder in order to restart configuration.
    However, since I've executed the `rm -R .vim .vimrc .viminfo` command, I can't re-activate Vim's syntax coloration using `syntax on` into my .vimrc file nor into Vim directly.
    Here is the error message when I start Vim :
    Error detected while processing /home/romain/.vimrc:
    line 1:
    E484: Can't open file /home/romain/.vim/syntax/syntax.vim
    Press ENTER or type command to continue
    I've found this topic on BBS which seems to be the same problem as me but reinstalling vim or vi doesn't solve this problem.
    I've tried to copy this syntax.vim file from /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim but it doesn't solve the problem and I want a clean solution without hacking my ~ folder ; moreover, this bug also appears being root while I haven't configured vim with the root account so it may be a problem into Vim's installation folders or something.
    Thanks for your help and sorry I my english contains mistakes,
    MicroJoe.

  • Can't Open Files in Photoshop CS6 13.1.1

    Ever since I updated my Photoshop to 13.1.1 I can't open files in Photoshop. Everytime I try to use file > browse it hangs when I select a file to open and then when I try to just double-click on a .psd file in my normal Finder it never opens and it hangs the program.
    I'm running 10.8.2 on a 15" MBP Retina and using Creative Cloud. Any help would be appreciated since it's preventing me from working on this computer.

    Cyndi -
    I would start with the easiest thing Archive the preference file to your desktop then we can continue from there if that doesnt work.
    - Close PS
    - Type this into your run menu
    %appdata%/adobe/adobe photoshop cs3/
    - Now drag the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder onto your desktop
    - Keep the adobe folder window open
    - Launch PS
    - If this works then there was something corrupted in the preferences somewhere
    - If this doesnt work then delete the newly created preference folder from the adobe folder and drag the one from your desktop back into the adobe folder.
    Hope this helps.
