Can't open Project files... have latest FCP though

Hello, I have the FCP Suite 2 and it's updated. I got a Project file from a client and when I open it, it says something similar to 'can't open the project with this version of Final Cut'.
If i have the latest version of FCP how could this be? Will FCP open a Final Cut Express file?
Sorry i don't know the exact error message at the moment, I'm trying to figure this out before I get back to my office this evening (where the computer and file is) at which point I have to contact the client and tell him what's up.
And feedback would be great, thanks for your time. Will give better details this evening if needed

I installed the update... FCP still launches as 6.0.1 . So I tried downloading the 6.0.2 updater (Pro Applications Update 2008-01), and as I enter my serial to access the file it lead me straight to the Pro Applications Update 2008-02 download which i just tried installing.
Any quick ideas would be great, I've put the client on hold til tomorrow. I did do a search here and though it wasn't clear, it seemed like someone was recommending a complete system re-install. I hope that's not the situation, thanks for your time!
-Monty
PS-If it has to be a new install of everything, exactly what do i need to make FCP update to 6.0.3? Just update FCP through the Software Updater then install the Pro Applications Update 2008-02? Or are there other update I need to get manually, thanks.

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 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 open project file

I bought a book form Adobe 'Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a book'. I copied all the lessons to my hard drive and when I try to open the Lesson1.prproj, I've got an error message: 'File format not supported'. Can anybody please tell me what is going on?

Curious. Well, my first thought is-- the book was written with valid media, so we can rule out the possiblity of a wrong file format. Which leads me to think either the DVD is bad, or the files were corrupted when being copied to your hard drive.
Can you open the same project directly on the DVD?

Can't open numbers files in latest version

I'm running the latest version of numbers in Mavericks and iOs7. I was able to open a file yesterday, but now get this message "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." I've double checked and all the versions are the latest. - it's a numbers file now, so I can't open it in excel either.

Hi marion0,
A lot of people don't realize that after they download Numbers 3.0 the old Numbers 2.3 is still on their machine. Numbers 3.0 is in the Applications folder and Numbers 2.3 is in a subfolder within Applications called iWork '09 or similar. The icons are similar and it is very easy to get confused. Here the old version is on top, the new version on the bottom. (They can run at the same time.)
If you had an icon on your dock before downloading Numbers 3.0 then it's probably still pointing to the old version. So if you like clicking on the dock to open an application and then open documents from within the application you need to drag the icon for the new Numbers 3.0 to the dock. Otherwise, you can always right-click on a document in Finder as Badunit suggests and choose which Numbers version you want via Open With.

I can't open pdf files in browser, even though I have installed an add-on.

I downloaded the cloud viewer add-on for Firefox on my tablet. I am running Android 4 (ICS). I need to be able to open PDF files directly in the browser window, as the site will not allow me to download the files and open in an independant viewer. Is there any way to do this in Firefox?

I find it odd that the browsers on the Android platform can't support this on their own. I know that Google Chrome on it's full blown version for the PC is able to do so without using the Adobe software for the embedded PDF aka using "The Adobe PDF Link Helper" . I would love to see this change especially since I prefer Firefox over other browsers.

Can't open InDesign file in latest version of InDesign

I've received InDesign files from a colleague, and when I open them it says it was created in a newer version of InDesign. We are both on Macs, CC subscription, and we are both up to date on CC (all apps up to date). Why can't I open his files??

You need to download and install InDesign CC. You only CS6 installed.
Easiest way to install InDesign CC is to go to creative.adobe.com and click on download center. Find InDesign CC and download from there.

Can not open project files

Hi Brant, have you run permissions repair from the Disk Utility lately? I would try that, and FCP Rescue to see if you can get back into the game.

Help, can't open project file any more

I relaunched iMovie to refresh the iPhoto thumbnails and now my project can't be opened. It is not listed at all in the Project list inside iMovie. And when I try launching it from the Finder, it open iMovie but nothing happens. Not even an error message.

I have not heard back so I am not sure if I referenced the thread correctly when i last sent the muse file. I used the url https://forums.adobe.com/message/7212679 but I see in this email below it is referred to as https://forums.adobe.com/message/7213601#7213601
I attached it as a zip archive in my last email. I have also posted it to dropbox (unzipped) at https://www.dropbox.com/s/30vna0yqacvokvw/LKFdotcom%20v3.muse?dl=0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't open project file.... Error messages

What does this mean:
NSInvalidArgumentException
* -[MTModel model]: selector not recognized [self = 0xb2d7660]
and how do I fix it?
Regards,

First, I don't know. You may want to contact Apple. Second, though, try renaming the file, moving it to a new location, or both.

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

FCP 7.0.3 won't open project files with OSX Lion.

After upgrade to Lion, FCP 7.0.3 won't open existing project files (built with 10.6.8) Error message is "wrong file type". Help?

If deleting your preferences doesn't work, here are some more troubleshooting tips
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2591
If you like, you could send me a project file that won't open. I'll check it on my system and we can eliminate the possibility that the project files have been corrupted. Me email is in my profile. Be sure and compress project file before attaching to email (control click on file and choose "compress." this will create a zipped version of the file that's suitable for attachment.).

Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
Lightroom error:
Bridge, no preview:
Photoshop error:
Ideas, suggestions?

Please help.
Thanks in advance,

Something appears to be wrong with your files.
Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
This is very small for a 12 MP image.
If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
Have you tried repairing your permissions?
Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
Good Luck!
