Can't Open Project After Quitting iMovie 7.1.4

Hello all...
I was just creating my first iMovie project and had it just about where I wanted it. Then I quit iMovie, and restarted it, and the project was gone. The events were still there though. I didn't mess with any files in the iMovie Events or iMovie Projects folder.
What happened? Any chance of recovering my work?
Thanks!
-Eric

I had the same thing happen. Opened iMovie and all my events were there, but there was a blank "My Project" in the project pane. Even if I double-click the project file that I'm trying to see, it doesn't show up. Were you able to resolve it on your system?
Thanks,
Dan

CAN'T OPEN PROJECT after updating software

Hallo,
Today I downloaded Pro Applicatios Update 2008-01. Than I opened my FCP project, but Final cut asked me if I want to update my project from earlier version. I confirmed, but reading project stopped and FC 6.0.3 failed. I hve tried to open older versions of this project but they've failed too. But another project works. The only difference between this and the other project is, that I use multicam in it.
I've alo trashed FC preferences, but it didn't help.
Can you advice please? Thank you.
JB

Select the files in the browser and use the File>Reconnect function. You'll get a list of clips the application is looking for. Navigating to where the first media file is and select it.

Can not open project after saving

I have created a project, worked on many times and saved .
Now when I try to open it I get error message that project has been
damaged. What can I do to save?
Paul

Hi Paul
Not good news I am afraid. There have been a number of posts
in this forum regarding this problem, with the net result of "sorry
mate, but broken is broken". As a general guideline, one of the
major causes seems to be when running on a network drive and the
advice is to work on a local drive rather.
Once again sorry mate.

Can't open project after saving.

I'm using CS4 on Mac. When I try to open a saved project, I get this message:
The project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
When I created the project, I used these sequence settings:
- 1920x1080p
- 24p
- 44.1 audio
- Square pixels
- Editing Mode: Desktop
They were saved as a preset. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Glad that you found your solution. That is the beauty of this forum - so many issues have been solved already and a bit of searching, and reading, will often get your Project out the door, and in less time than one would be on hold with T/S.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't open projects after re-installing Premiere Pro 1.5

So, right in the middle of some projects, my hard drive decides to crash. I had to replace the hard drive but the computer guy was able to save all my projects, plus I had back ups on an external. Now that I have my computer back and my Premiere Pro 1.5 is back up and running I was hoping I could continue where I left off. When I go into any of my projects I can see the edits, transitions, music files etc. but everything is that red "Media Offline" box. Is there a way to NOT have to start all over from scratch? Any help is greatly, GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

Your welcome.
And thank you for doing the necessary 'digging', rather than just waiting for someone here to spell it out for you.

Can't open project after rebuilding Folders in Project Manager

I had a corrupted project so I renamed the cpd file. A lot of Folders in Project Manager were lost, so I recreated the folders and imported all the topics back in. I added one last Folder back in and RH was having a problem with it (I didn't write down the error message). It booted me out. Subsequent attempts to reopen this Project are unfruitful. The message I get is that a certain folder (not the same one I was adding) will be added back in and needs to be properly deleted from Project Manager. (I had renamed that Folder, but I did it inside of Project Manager.)
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Can't open iPhoto after iMovie 10.0.3 update

iPhoto is being updated
iPhoto can not be opened while it is being updated.
But problem is, that nothing idicate there is some iPhoto update.
Please help Apple.

I don't understand why first update has almost 2GB and there is also second update which has around 300MB, so I can see two iMovie updates in App Store - Updates.

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.

Can't open Project Professional 2013 projects in SharePoint 2013

I can't open Project 2013 documents from SharePoint2013.
My environment is:
Project Professional 2013 32 bit
Office Professional 2013 32 bit
IE 9 32 bit
Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit
All other documents (Word, Excel) can be checked out and edited from SharePoint.
When I check out and edit a Project document I get the following error:
Project cannot open the file.
check that the file name a path are correct.
check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Also, I get the same error when trying to open a project document from a mapped SharePoint drive.
Note: This was working on a fresh install of Office 2013 and Project Professional 2013 UNTIL a windows update (Office 2013 SP 1 and other updates)
Am I missing an update?
Thanks!
Ken

Hi Ken,
I would try first to repair MS Project from the control panel to see if it fixes your issue.
Hope this helps,

Can´t open LR after upgrade to 5.3 without entering a licens key

I have seen comments from someone who indicated that every time they started Lightroom they were prompted for the serial number, even though they had already entered it. Is this your situation? I can't remember what the solution is, but I have seen that problem mentioned in the past.

Can't open iphoto after complete reboot.

Hi!
My computer stoped working a while back and I had the harddrive replaced, now I can't open iphoto after importing it from time mashine. I still have the same OS X (10.6.8) on a Mac Book pro from 2009. I can't buy the new one, or update it, because my OS X is too old and after seeing all the problems with the new system I don't really want to install it. How do I make iphoto work again? When I try to open it, it just says it can't open because of a problem (no, really?).

Is there a crash report? Have you tried reinstalling it?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Has Spotlight finished its indexing? Check in the upper right. If you get just the search field, it has, if it says its indexing, you have to wait before you can use anything.

Illustrator has not been responding for over a week, I can't open or force quit it. I've already uninstalled, reinstalled, and deleted the preferences folder, but the icon in my dock seems corrupt and is causing the program to not respond and I can't delete it.

Tamara,
Did you reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.
