  • Can't open projects with Imovie 5 that were created with earlier version

    I can't open my Imovie projects that I created when using Mac OS 9.2 now that I'm using Tiger and Imovie 5.
    I'm not sure what version of Imovie I created them with. Do I need to find an earlier version and open them in the classic environment, or is there some way of converting or importing them?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Theoretically iMovie 5 can convert old projects, but projects created in Mac OS 9.2 can be quite difficult, for OS 9 is very different than OS X. More about that here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1677339
    Your best option is to use the version of iMovie that you used originally to edit the project. If the projects are really old, that may require starting up your Mac in Mac OS 9 (instead of running iMovie in the Classic environment, which is Mac OS 9 running inside Mac OS X.)
    Your best solution may be to boot up in Mac OS 9 and use your old version of iMovie to export the project back to the camera, then boot into Mac OS X and import the tape into iMovie 5.
    If you don't have a camera, export to a Full Quality DV movie, then import that movie into iMovie 5.
    The camera will (probably) deliver the clips to iMovie 5 as clips, while the export to a Full Quality DV movie will not.
    By the way, to see which version of iMovie last edited the project, drop the project file on the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The version is shown at the top of the file.
    iMovie 2.1.2 was the first version to run in OS X, I believe. The last version to run in OS 9 had the same version number, unfortunately.
    If your Mac doesn't let you start up in Mac OS 9, then say more about exactly what happens when you try to convert the project. Do you get error messages? What are they?

  • Can't open Project Professional 2013 projects in SharePoint 2013

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

  • My computer won't recognize that my phone is plugged in, so i can't transfer photos, but it shows connected to itunes.

    my computer won't recognize that my phone is plugged in, so i can't transfer photos, but it shows connected to itunes.

    You have to sync your photos from iTunes , if you cannot see iphone in itunes it might be due to itunes being corrupted or the apple driver issue.
    To fix this, try the following:
    1.Uninstall iTunes completely , and Re-install the latest version of iTunes, download it from apple website
    2. Check whether its a hardware related issue , by using the phone with a different firewire
    3. if it does show up in iTunes , and still facing the issue then try restoring the iphone [setting it up as a new phone , DO NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP] and then try re-syncing 
    4. I dont think the format of the photos matter , but still try syncing different format photos [generally JPEG formats are used]

  • It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.

    # Question
    It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.
    Also in the '''Properties''' window of Windows Explorer I '''no longer have the Details tab''', so I can't update my mp3 files with Artist, Album, Genre, etc. But the details tab does show up when I access it thru Windows Explorer.
    I ran the AVG rescue disc an no viruses found. Now on '''FF3.6.15''' '''RealPlayer''' shows when I right click but then '''immediately disappears and an icon appears in the System Tray''', but as soon '''as I hover my mouse over it it disappears'''.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
    How can I get this fixed? I have time-sensitive mp3s that I won't have access to anymore if I don't get this resolved in a hurry. (no pressure on you, I'm the one that's stressed about this) Can you help? Thanks so much for responding to this '''inquiry.''''''bold text'''

    Hi M0M1!
    I have an article for you that seems to describe your issue and can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps for this issue:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Specifically, you will want to focus on this section of the article:
    User-specific troubleshooting
    If you experience the issue in one particular user account, the suggestions below may resolve the issue. Before proceeding, you'll need to make hidden files and folder visible in Windows using steps 1-5.
    Remove iTunes Preference files. Some of the files that iTunes stores settings and preferences in may be unusable. iTunes saves its preferences in two folders. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The locations for the preference folders are:
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Create a new iTunes Library.
    Hold the Shift key while opening iTunes. You'll be asked to choose an iTunes library.
    Choose Create Library.
    In the following window, select a location to save the new iTunes Library.
    Click Save. iTunes will open the new library. After you close iTunes, you can always select the original library by holding the Shift key while opening iTunes.
    Recreate your iTunes Library. If your iTunes library has become unusable, rebuilding it may resolve the issue.
    Check for issues with content files. Sometimes an audio file can cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly or stop responding when it's analyzing gapless playback information. To determine which file may be causing the issue, follow the steps below:
    Quit iTunes.
    Navigate to the iTunes folder:
    Windows Vista: c:\users\username\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7 and Windows 8: c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
    Move the iTunes Library.itl file to your desktop.
    Open iTunes. You shouldn't see any content in iTunes.
    Choose File > Add Folder to Library.
    Navigate to the folder where your music is located:
    Windows Vista: c:\users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
    Windows 7 and Windows 8: c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
    Choose an artist, album, or song to add to the library.
    Wait for iTunes to successfully add the item to your library and perform the gapless playback scan.
    If successful, continue adding songs to your library.
    If there is an issue with one of your files, you'll notice your issue reappear after you add it to the library. You should repeat these steps, being careful not to add the files that caused the issue.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Can't open project on External Harddrive

    I'm using iMovie 5.0.2 and working on a project that is saved on an external hard drive.
    After 6 hours of editing, the power cord came out of the hard drive. I connected everything and tried to save the project. I then got scared and stopped the saving. Now I can't open the project. I can't save it to another part of the hard drive and open it. Every time I try to open the movie it says :
    A project file is missing.
    The file "_" couldn't be opened
    and is being skipped. Click Ignore All
    to skip any remaining missing file messages.
    The iMovie quits. If I can find the files- all won't be lost. Plus, I have a high res quicktime file saved of the raw footage. But, I would like NOT to lose that 6 hours of work.
    Can I open this file? Did I mess it up? Where are the video clips saved? I can't find them. I have iMovie on my laptop and the project saved on the hard drive.
    Thanks for any help. This is why I'm so done with video Just a few more projects to do. After 15 years this type of crap drives me crazy.
    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Don't do anything more with your iMovie. Don't try another save, as that can write over your last good saves. You MAY be able to retrieve the prior save. Hopefully, you saved as you went along during these 6 hours so you can retrieve a very recent saved version.
    (These types of accidents have made me realize the importance of backing up my movies-in-progress as I am editing them. I did not do this in the past, and now I try to do it at least at the end of each editing session so that not all would be lost. I had an external drive fail suddenly and all of my movies were gone. Fortunately, I was able to reimport the original footage, but frequent saves would have been best).
    In iM6, you can access the project files by control or right-clicking on the star icon and selecting 'show package contents' to let you see the movie files. One or more of the icons will have a tilde ~ or several of them. Those are prior versions of the iMovie, and can be used to get back to a prior save.
    In iM5, I think you can just directly open the project files and see the movie files as ~ files with the name as "yourmovie.mov" It might be in a Cache folder and might be called "Timeline Movie.mov." If you don't see anything like a Cache folder, try doing the process for iM6 above. If you see multiple .mov files with ~ and then more ~~ or even ~~~ those are more versions. You may have to try one or more of these to find the latest one possible.
    Once you locate the .mov version of your movie, open a new iMovie project and drop in one of the .mov~ movies into it and see if it works. If so, continue editing with this one. This version will be all in one clip, so more editing is a bit more difficult, but not impossible and at least you will have some of your work back.
    It's crucial you NOT save the messed-up project right now, for that will destroy the good QuickTime movie, replacing it with a bad "empty" movie.
    (Thanks to Karl Peterson for the info re: retrieving prior saved movies).
    Good luck!

  • Can't open project

    I downloaded RH6 on my machine and then tried to open my
    WebHelp file by opening the .hhp file, since I'm unable to locate
    the .xpj file. I get an error stating the open project was
    cancelled or the app was unable to load database for [the path
    name] with the file name Quik Fixes.cpd. I'm wondering why it's
    pointing to the .cpd file. I've tried restarting, tried deleting
    the cpd file, thinking that it would re-generate itself upon
    startup, but I've received the same error. Also, I've always opened
    the project with the .HHP file, and never had a problem before. Why
    can't I ever see the .xpj file? Does anyone know a fix to this? I'm
    under a tight deadline here, and this is the last thing I need
    happening!

    What/where/how to find depends of the version od Windows.
    Look for "Security Center" if in WinXP. I don't remember where to
    look in Vista as I hated it and blew it away, never to use a byte

    I can't help with that.

  • Can't open project unless trash prefs or eject ext hd... ???

    I want to start off by apologizing ahead of time if I miss a detail or seem like I am rambling but I am going on 48 hours no sleep, half of which trying to figure out my problem, and my doc's air date is quickly quickly approaching. I will try to make this brief yet detailed...
    I am working on a two hour documentary and I am having to hop between two machines.. one is at work and the other is at my home..
    Home System:
    MacBook Pro 10.5.8
    2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    FCP 6.0.6
    Work System:
    2.5 GHz PowerPC Still on Tiger
    FCP 6.0.6
    (I apologize I don't know more details but I am at my home system right now and weary to drive up there on no sleep..)
    I am editing XDCAM footage which I digitized in low res DV and then highres at the end to DVCPRO HD (since my system at work can't handle anything higher)
    I have completed that entire process for the first hour of the doc with no issues.. having two copies of the SD version.. one at home and one at work and I would just throw my project file on a thumb drive and relink..
    Ok.. so now I am trying to finish hour 2 and I've worked the exact same process as I did for hour 1.. This past Tuesday, it was at the end of the day and I just restarted my machine and tried to open my project and it would get stuck on the loading page... it did pass all the plugins loading... and would stop while it said ...6.0.6. Honestly I didn't think too much of it (panic wise) cause it's always something... lol.. I just did some quick googling... found that I should run permissions and trash my prefs.. Which I did.. and it opened just fine after that.
    Rest of the week went fine until yesterday. At work again... it did the exact same thing. Now I am getting a bit concerned since I've never had to trash prefs before and now it's happening twice in one week...? hmmm.. Since works computer is still on Tiger, I can't download Digital Rebellion FCS Maintenance Pack.. (BUT I do have it on my home system..) So.. I went through the above process once again... and it opened just fine again.
    brought my project file home last night and it was working just fine until around 2am and I couldn't open the darn project.. 'application not responding' force quit by control clicking on the dock...
    Now that I am on my MPB, I decided to run the digital rebellion package (except the trashing of prefs..) Im trying to see if it's something else. I booted in Safe Mode and ran permissions there... restarted..... still can't open. So I ejected the media and it opened.. so now I have two ways to open it but it's the only way??? I even created a new project and copied my assets over to the new project (offline still)... and it still won't open.
    I have to highres Monday and I am terrified to see what will happen ...
    Others I tried:
    -pulled all the plugins out of the plugin folder and it still wouldn't open..
    -Ran Disk Warrior on both machines.. nothing major happened there.
    Here is part of the report that is generated after the force quit to send to Apple:

    First, I think your workflow is more complicated than it needs to be. If the media resides on both systems on drives with the same name and same folder structure, you shouldn't need to relink. FCP should find the media transparently.
    If you have a corrupt piece of media, this might work. Try this, with the media drive disconnected, open the project and do a save as. Quit fcp and then reconnect the media drive and launch the project. You should get the reconnect window. Do not reconnect anything at this time. Then, gradually reconnect your media until you find the problem clip.
    If the problem is corruption in your sequence, follow the initial steps above, but after cancelling the reconnect on startup, try creating a new sequence with the same settings as your existing sequence and copying the contents of the existing sequence to the new sequence. Then select the new sequence in the browser and control click and choose reconnect media.
    Report back and if the problem still exists we can move on.

  • Error Can't open project file

    Was working fine on a project. Closed the project tried to access it again got this error message.
    Error Cant open project file: {0}
    The project is there when I check in windows explorer. Can anyone help? I have a back up so I am able to continue working but I am concerned has to how this may have happened.
    Regards
    Betty

    Hi Betty,
    The application bean might have gotten saved inadvertantly with an unnoticed / unintended change after you copied the code from it. Its a slim chance but could have just happened. If by chance it was so, then the IDE would have had difficulty in recognizing the file as a result of which that error was thrown.
    In case you are sure the file was not modified could you please provide us the steps to reproduce the problem.
    Cheers

  • Can't open project from RH for HTML

    I want to work in my RH for HTML Project, but everytime I
    would want to open it, the software starts jamming. I tried to shut
    down computer and restart and it didn't fix the problem.
    Can somebody help me with this problem?

    Has anything changed on your system since the last time you
    were able to open your project?
    Try one more time, and keep an eye to the lower left corner
    of the RH window - watch to see if any progress messages appear.
    Try to see what the last message is before everything stops. Might
    give you a clue.
    Have you been moving topics and folders around in the
    project? (Or even moving stuff for the project around in Windows
    Explorer instead of directly in the project)?? I am leaning towards
    a corrupt .cpd file - it's often the culprit with startup issues.
    But there is usually an error message. In any case, Peter can post
    the link to fixing a hosed CPD file for you. It's relatively
    painless.
    By the way - how often do you back up your projects? Have you
    tried opening a backup?
    Off to a meeting - good luck.

  • Can't open project from DB

    I am about ready to throw this machine out the window!! I
    have installed Robohelp X5 and updated to 5.0.2. I also installed a
    VCS patch since RH doesn't like to play nice with PVCS. I can open
    projects from local drives just fine, but when I try to open a
    project from our database, I get this: "Unknown exception error,
    please contact ..." This occurs after I select my location to store
    files and click OK. I know my username and password are good
    because other users can open projects on their machines using my
    login info. I cannot open any projects using anybody else's info
    either. This is the second box that I've had this occur, I actually
    requested a new one to see if it would work on a different machine
    and the exact same thing happens. So, I would greatly appreciate
    any help with this!

    Thanks for the reply. Let me give you some more details. Oh
    and I'm not using PVCS for VC with Robohelp, but I do have it
    installed on my machine for other projects.
    What I am doing is trying to open the project through
    RoboSource Control. Once in RoboHelp HTML I select the Open from
    RoboSource option from the Open Project dialog box, and it prompts
    me to enter the server and DB name, with my username and password.
    After that, it accesses the project and asks me to select a
    location to store the files on my local drive. Once I do that and
    click OK to proceed, I get the error. What SHOUILD happen is it
    should copy the files to the specified location on my local drive
    and allow me to then open the project, but I can't get that far.
    It's very frustrating, especially since everyone else can do it but
    me.

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
