Can't open project files after upgrading to FCE 3.5.1

I bought a new MacBook Pro and sold my PowerMac, so I bought the 3.5 upgrade to FCE. I was using 3.0 before on my PowerMac.
I copied my project over, but when I try to open it it just gives me a dialog box with "General error" and an OK button.
How do I get my project open???

Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime
Quicktime is up to date.
I solved the problem with the help of Tom Wolsky. What finally worked was taking the project file to my wife's C2D iMac, opening the file there, saving it as a 3.5.1 file, and copying it back to my MacBook Pro.
The weirdest things to me are:
1) That there was any problem at all to begin with on my MacBook Pro C2D
2) That there was no problem on my wifes iMac C2D
3) When Tom Wolsky opened and saved the file in 3.5.1 format for me it didn't work, but that worked when I did the same thing with my wife's machine.

  • Can't find project files after upgrade to version 3.0

    I upgraded Aperture from 2.0 to 3.x and I can no longer find my project files in the Aperture folder?
    All is working fine, I just want to copy the project files and they are not visible in finder.
    any ideas

    I misunderstood your question. As you were referring to the Aperture folder and locating things in the finder I thought you were trying to find the image files external to Aperture.
    As for info on the structure of the library, from within Aperture take a look at the user manual:  http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/   this is the online version its the same as what you get when you go to Help in Aperture. Pay particular attention to the first section which describes the various parts of the library and how it all goes together.
    As for rating answers, if the thread is yours and you are logged in then eash seperate post should show this

    Not sure what you mean by  maintain files in a "creation date" format?  If you describe what you are looking for then I'm sure someone will chime in.

  • Can't open keynote file after upadating to 1.3.1 !!

    I have error opening keynote file after upgrading 1.3.1
    strange thing when i updated keynote to 1.3.1 was that the stripe above the screen changed to dark gray to white!
    I thought that was new interface but suddenly it has error opening the file.
    So i tried to open through webDAV, itunes, but after downloading the 180mb file of keynote, it shows that it has errors for opening files!
    this backup keynote file worked just great on 1.3 vers.

    is the file,
    would you plz test the keynote file, which was working just great before bringin he

    I tried your file on the iPad and Keynote crashed. Then I transferred the file to my Mac, opened it in Keynote on Mac, saved it, and synched back to iPad. Now I can open the file on the iPad -- it takes some time due to all the images. Also, here are some delays between the slides when presenting on the iPad.
    BTW: Make sure to use the latest version of Keynote on Mac (5.0.5).

  • QT10.1 will not open .wmv file after upgrade to 10.7.4

    Hi Qt 10.1 will no longer open .wmv files after upgrading to 10.7.4.  I have the latest version of flip for mac.  They will opwn in QT7 pro but does anybody have a fix for this problem at all?  Thanks in advance. 

    I'm having the same issue, but do not find a 3ivx codec in the mentioned QT folder.  I do, however, have these codecs listed in that folder:
    AppleGVAHW.component
    ApplePiletVideo.component
    AppleProResDecoder.component
    AppleVAH264HW.component
    QuartzComposer.component
    QuickTime3GPP.component
    QuickTimeComponents.component
    QuickTimeFireWireDV.component
    QuickTimeH264.component
    QuickTimeIIDCDigitizer.component
    QuickTimeImporters.component
    QuickTimeMPEG.component
    QuickTimeMPEG2.component
    QuickTimeMPEG4.component
    QuickTimeStreaming.component
    QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component
    QuickTimeVR.component
    Could ANY of these be causing my wmv files (or my Flip4Mac) to be corrupt and unable to work?  I appreciate any insight you may have.

  • Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to Mac from Dropbox

    Please help!  Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to iMac from Dropbox.   Says I need the newer version of Numbers each time I tried to open the file.  I am 100% sure that I had the newest version.   Spoke to the AppleCare guy and after doing the checks he is also sure that I had the latest version of Numbers and AppleCare can't help.  He suggested that maybe i should run it on a file repair program...any suggestion?... please help...

    I've read reports of people having trouble when storing Numbers 3 documents on Dropbox.  I think it's related to the fact that they're not really "files."  They're "packages" that look like files. I had thought that Dropbox had cleared this up with their latest update. You should be on Dropbox version 2.4 or later.
    If you have Time Machine you may have some luck going back in time and restoring the document from a previous version.
    Storing Numbers documents on iCloud works much better, at least for me, and (unlike Dropbox) iCloud facilitates automatic syncing to other Macs and iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID.
    Perhaps you could consider keeping Numbers documents in iCloud instead. iCloud is deeply integrated into the app, and now works well.

  • 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

  • "unable to open project file" after importing layered Photoshop file

    After spending a day of work, I saved and closed my 720p project. Today, I can't open it. I get a message saying: "Unable to open project file." Same thing happens with the auto-saved copy.
    I have narrowed down the problem to this: I made a new 720p project file. Without doing any work, I import a single layered Photoshop file (.psd), then save and close the project. When I try to open it, I get the message again: "Unable to open project file."
    Works fine at home. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    PPJ

    I'm just now having the same problem, though I'm using FCE 3 . I can open older (NTSC) files. Just not new HD files that I have also blindly used alpha+Photoshop layers in. When I create a new HD file with a few HD clips in it and even use an audio track from the project I'm wanting to make, and use TIFF versions of the graphics and save it, it will open right up -- but something about these PS files.

  • My Safari can´t open .dmg files after downloading

    I updated to Mac OS X 4.9. But since this update, Safari cannot open .dmg files after downloading! On 10.4.8 it was not a problem. What can I do?
    eMac G4 PPC   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Darn...I thought that would do the trick.
    Given the other problems you mention, more and more, it seems a reinstall of the OS, using Archive and Install is going to be necessary. Have you ever done an Archive & Install of the OS? Important you carefully read the description of the process. If you are uncertain, I find the Take Control Upgrading to Tiger E-zine to be a very helpful guide.
    Once you reinstall the OS, then you can upgrade to 10.4.8 using the combo update, repairing permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when complete.
    One question: Not sure why you have run into all these problems on the 10.4.9 upgrade. It worked without problem for me. Anything unusual happen during the install?

  • Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

    Hi,
    I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
    Two error messages appear:
    1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
    2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
    I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
    Thank you for your advice

    Hi Pat,
    Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
    I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
    Thank you anyway for your advice!

  • Excel file can't open via email after upgrading to OSX 10.9.2

    After upgrading to OSX 10.9.2, my Excel files are not readable when sent by email. My version for Excel is 2008 for Mac V12.3.6.
    I have no trouble opening Excel on my computer but cannot seem to send Excel files via email.

    Thanks. Tried that and it works but I had found another alternative.
    Didn't realise but my Excel file had the extension missing even though it was saved as xlsx. To solve the problem, I just clicked on 'Append the File Extension' when I 'Saved As' and it worked. Thanks for the alternative help anyway.
