Can't open sequence: " operation not allowed. Out of memory"

I have a project with several sequences. The master sequence started freezing on me. I restarted FCP and the computer, but now it won't let me open this sequence. It will let me open others in the project, but not this one. It's even smaller than others. I get the error message, "Operation not allowed. Out of memory." How do I fix this if I can't open it? I've cleaned out render files as well.
Thanks for the help!

The graphics/stills don't reside in your project or in a Sequence - those are just pointers to the original media. The images should be on a hard drive wherever you stored them.
The problem could also be due to a corrupt render files. You could try trashing the render files for the project and see if it opens afterward.

Cannot open Sequence: "Operation Not Allowed" then "Out of Memory"

I quit FCS1 for about 5 hours and returned. When I opened the project I was working on I got these messages: "Operation Not Allowed" then "Out of Memory" when I attempt to open my master working sequence. Other sequences (small nests) do open within the project. The project opens, so the file is not corrupt. A back-up copy of the same project file on a separate physical disc generates the same results. I deleted the prefs and User Data folder, even ran FCP Rescue. Same results. Then I resorted to the Autosave Vault. The two most recent saves resulted in the same error messages. Fortunately the next did not. I lost a considerable amount of work. The system says my memory is OK (6GB). Any ideas? (An attempt to open on a FCS2 machine {8GB RAM} resulted in the same two error messages.)
The project is fairly lengthy (90 mins) and does have numerous 1 and 2 frame audio edits. Nothing particularly unusual in the video tracks--although I am mixing DV and HDV. It doesn't seem to me these attributes would matter, just throwing them out there.

...removing and re-rendering is a great idea, if you've got the time.
And if during render you get the same out of memory error, try rendering "in-to-out", rendering small chunks until you get to a chunk which brings up the error. Then, you've found an offending "corrupt" file.

Operation not allowed , Out of Memory

Hey everyone.
I opened an FCP project one day and opened a sequence and got a dialog that says "Operation not Allowed", followed by "Out of Memory."
I can't open the sequence anymore.
I am running latest FCP with mac book pro intel core2 duo. I've got 2 GB ram and had nothing else open so I don't think it's the memory.
Anyone know a fix for this?
Help because I lost ALL my work!!!

I've seen this message when opening projects with clips using unsupported codecs such as Avid Meridien. You might be able to take the media drive offline temporarily to get eh project open, and sort the browser by compressor to check for different or missing codecs. Usually you can find these online and place the in the /Liibrary/QuickTime/ folder.
Hope this helps -

Operation Not Allowed, Out of Memory, Display Unavailable, and PS nightmare

Having all of the above titled issues on a project in FCP HD5. Everything was going fine until I started doing some light compositing. I have a regular DV sequence which is fine and then I have some .psd files imported. The .psd files are all only 1 layer with certain areas transparent to reveal whatever is in the video track below. No alpha channels or anything like that.
Originally the .psds had superfluous layers and when I had this problem I turned them all into 1 layer and cut down the file size. No difference. I trashed the prefs and repaired permissions as discussed in Shane's tips. I also made the sequence offline and then re-linked all my media which does work. But then eventually when manipulating the .psd media I get the "display unavailable error" again. It seemingly happens any time I try to dissolve between two .psds or even the media in the tracks below.
Fortunately I can keep getting back in and getting to a good point (I'd go berserk if the file corrupted, even if I do have it backed up), but I can't move forward. Is there a solution for this? Maybe there is something I am neglecting to do in prepping the .psds that's causing them not to play nice. Any help is welcome and appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for replying Jim. Indeed everything is in RGB mode, and they are all 720x540, D1/DV NTSC pixel aspect ratio.
What I have tried now is saving them all as TIFFs with transparency. This seems to have done the job of allowing me to transition and not get the above errors, though one of my TIFFs didn't preserve the transparency. Weird.
FCP also rescales them from 720x540 to 810x540 on import. The doesn't take up all of action safe to fill the entire frame. Why is that? Its easy enough to scale it once in FCP, but I'm sure I am doing something wrong in PS. Any further help you can give from here is great! TIA!

Cannot open a sequence: "Operation not allowed" error message

I had been editing a sequence in Final Cut Express HD (v.3.5.1) and then I went to "Render All" and it was most of the way through rendering when suddenly an error message popped up that said "Operation no allowed." I clicked "Okay" and then another error message came up that said "Error: Out of memory." Now I can't open the sequence, and I've lost a few hours of work. Every time I try to open the sequence, I get the same error messages.
Does anyone know why this happened and if I can recover it?
Using Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1.

Does anyone know why this happened and if I can recover it?
Sounds like you ran out of space on the hard drive fitting in the renders.
One or more render files may be corrupt as a result.
Try opening one of your Auto Save Vault files that pre-dates the upset.

Can't open sequence - out of memory!

Hi,
I put a long HD clip onto a sequence and my computer couldn't handle it. I couldn't edit the sequence without getting "error: out of memory" messages. I closed the sequence and now I can't open it because of the lack of memory.
I saved changes to my project (stupid I know, but there were previous changes I wanted to keep) and closed my project. Now I can't open that sequence at all.
I closed all other apps, I rebooted, I made sure my scratch disk had plenty of space, but I still can't open it up to delete the clip! Error: Out of memory. i have 1.25gigs of ram installed, but I don't really want to upgrade.
Does any one have any hot tips before I have to take my project to another mac with more memory?
Cheers

Let me try a couple suggestions. I assume you can open FCE without problem, while you cannot open that specific project.
- Have you checked the Memory Usage in System Preferences ? if you have enough RAM the Application value should be 100%; if not, increase this value.
- The Still Cache in the same panel refers to additional memory used for stills: by temporarily reducing this you might be able to add more memory to the application (as above)
(BTW: is it possible that you added too many stills, and the problem is the still cache itself ? - if so do the opposite: increase Still Cache till you can open the project again)
- The Thumbnail Cache uses application memory: again, by temporarily reducing it to the minimum (probably 0) you add some memory to the application.
I hope one of these suggestions work with you.

Outer Join problems - "ORA-30563 outer join operator (+) not allowed in select-list"

Products: Discoverer 4.1.33.0.2
(Admin and User/Plus)
8i EE 8.1.7 (Discoverer server)
8i EE 8.1.5 ('source data' server)
Background assumptions: (1) If a column from an "outer-joined" table is compared to a constant, the outer join operator must be applied to that column in order for the outer join to work. (2) A 'Condition' specified in Discoverer User/Plus manifests as a comparison to a constant.
I created a join in Admin between two folders, selected 'outer join on detail' option. In User/Plus, created worksheet containing columns from the joined folders. When no Conditions are NOT specified, results seem ok. However, when Condition IS added, worksheet encounters "ORA-30563 outer join operator (+) not allowed in select-list" and returns blank sheet.
To workaround, created Custom folder with outer join in place. Didn't work either with Conditions specified. No error, but I think that because Discoverer did not 'outer join' the Condition column, the outer join was ignored.
Any insights, ideas, or workarounds are much appreciated.
-Jim

If you build a query that uses an outer join then any items from the potentially deficient side of the join will have (+) appended to them everywhere in the sql. Up until 8.1.7 this was OK in the select list as it was just treated as noise and ignored - However this now fails with ORA-30563:
outer join operator (+) not allowed in select-list...
In 4.1.33.1.6 you get the error 'ORA-30563 outer join operator(+) not allowed in select list'.
In 4.1.36.1.10 the query runs OK.. Your work around I would guess would be to create a custom folder as you suggested.

ORA-01719: outer join operator (+) not allowed in operand of OR or IN

I am getting the following Error when I tried to execute my Query.
Error : ORA-01719: outer join operator (+) not allowed in operand of OR or IN
select unique t.estblmt_src_typ_id as estblmt_src_typ_id,

where
(t.estblmt_src_typ_id=u.estblmt_src_typ_id and
e.state_region_id=scsr.state_region_id and
upper(scsr.code1)='UNKNOWN' and
u.processed_ind = 'N' and
eSrc.Estblmt_Alt_Id = u.estblmt_alt_id and

e.country_id = c.country_id and
u.estblmt_element = 'State Region' and
scsr.estblmt_src_typ_id = u.estblmt_src_typ_id and
aa.estblmt_id(+)=e.estblmt_id and
e.end_dt is null) or

and aa.estblmt_id=e.estblmt_id and e.end_dt is null) order by t.name

First, is this query being executed within Apex or at the SQL prompt or in SQL Workshop, or something else? Some context of where it's being executed may help.
Next, that's a query from hell. How about rewrting it to use ANSI join syntax instead, so it'a bit more readable?
A quick example for part of it would be:
FROM (additional_addr aa LEFT OUTER JOIN estblmt e ON aa.estblmt_id = e.estblmt_id )
etc.
Just add additional parenthesis for each additional table join, similar to:
FROM ((additional_addr aa LEFT OUTER JOIN estblmt e ON aa.estblmt_id = e.estblmt_id )
LEFT OUTER JOIN src_country_state_region scsr ON aa.state_region_id = scsr.state_region_id )
In the long run it will make the query a bit more legible, so your where clause only lists the query conditions, not the join conditions. Then it becomes easier to quickly glance at it and see where potential problems may be.

Can't save project, get "operation not allowed" warning

Has anyone else ever experienced not being able to save a project? I'm in a bit of a tricky situation as I can't save my project. When I do, I get a "operation not allowed" warning (see screenshot).
Have tried everything (different project name, different location, etc.) and also checked whether there are any permission / write access issues with my hard disks, but I can copy around files on the disk without any problem.
If anyone has a solution for this would be greatly appreciated, as I'd hate to lose my progress on the project by having to quit without saving
Thanks!
Tim

Not a perfect solution, but definitely helpful and smart Thanks Michael!

Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

Hello ducky,
as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

JDBC + MySQL : "Operation Not Allowed After ResultSet Closed"

I have a very short piece of code. I use one connection to the database. I execute a query, get back a lot of rows, then iterate through the result set and for each row I get some information and then perform an insert into a different table.
The problem is that the big result set I am iterating through keeps closing sometime during the first iteration. Why? I am using three different statements:
1) Statement 1 is for the main query I want to iterate through
2) Statement 2 is for a quick lookup I perform (on a different table) for each item in the iteration.
3) Statement 3 is for the Insert statement which I perform for each item in the iteration. Again, I insert into a different table and I use "executeUpdate"
Given the I have three different statements and I am working with three different tables, why does my main result set that I am iterating through keep closing on me?
Here is the error I am getting:
java.sql.SQLException: Operation not allowed after ResultSet closed

set and for each row I get some information and then

I'd bet you can do this in a single INSERT with a SELECT in the database in one network roundtrip. The "quick lookup" might be a JOIN or a sub-SELECT. When you do a query, bring N rows back to the middle tier, then do an INSERT for each row that you retrieve it means (N+1) network roundtrips if you don't batch your INSERTs. I'd have a SQL expert give your code a look.

Cannot save work FCP displays "Operation Not Allowed"

I began working on a new project last week delievered to me as media files and project file on a 500 G. LaCie drive.
After working a couple of hours on this project, I began to get a warning box "Operation Not allowed" everytime I tried to save or auto-save. It will not save even upon closing of the project, so I've lost a lot of work so far.
I had a workaround for a while, but that began to bug out as well. I don't have the problem on my other projects and media which are on other media drives.
Any way I can get rid of this problem?

make sure that 'ignore ownership on this volume' is checked.
you get to it though 'Get Info' - (right click on the drive icon to bring up the selection).

Operation Not Allowed

does anyone know what operation not allowed means?
I had a timeline with a .PSD in it, as i draged it over a piece of video in the timeline a red box in the viewer came up and asked me to refresh the window. A dialogue Box came up and said out of memory, which I find hard to believe. I shut FCP down and now I cant open that timeline. Is there any way to get around this and re-activate my timeline?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
N Neame

Well I ended up using an auto save of the project. I lost only 5 minutes of work.
Stats of the .PSD
Size: 720-576
Aspect Ratio 1.066 (Pal DV)
Colour Mode: RGB
Bit Depth: 8 Bit
Layers: 1
Platform: Adobe CS2
So Im not to sure what the problem was but I imagine that the file was just bad. Thanks for your thoughts guys.
Interesting to note that it could be a memory problem. Especially the Operation not allowed on exports. I have seen this a few times myslef. However the files from the export work fine. Go figure. Gremlins I guess.
Cheers guys,

Javax.jms.IllegalStateException: Operation not allowed

Hi all, (first time posting, so go easy on me!)
just wondering can anyone out their shed some light on a problem I am having here with JMS. I am attempting to access JMS from a stateless EJB. The problem is I get an illegalStateException when I call "setMessageListener(..)". The bean simply creates an object (which implements the MessageListener interface) passing an RMI client callback reference into the constructor. The idea here is that when JMS forwards a message onto my listener, in the onMessage(..) function I call back into the RMI client. So the idea sounds simple, but JMS wont let me register the listener from the EJB. Heres some code and the exception which is generated (including the call stack):
jndiContext = new InitialContext();
Object objRef = (Object)jndiContext.lookup ("java:comp/env/jms/TopicConnectionFactory");
topicConnectionFactory = (TopicConnectionFactory)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objRef, TopicConnectionFactory.class);
topic = (Topic) jndiContext.lookup(topicName);
topicConnection = topicConnectionFactory.createTopicConnection("Administrator", "123");
topicSession = topicConnection.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
topicSubscriber = topicSession.createSubscriber(topic);
AppletSubscriber as = new AppletSubscriber(listener);
topicSubscriber.setMessageListener(as); // here's were the exception is thrown
Here's the exception & stack trace:

thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts.

The reason you get this is that you cannot use MessageListeners within a J2EE environment. The J2EE specification says that this method should not work from within EJBs. If you wish to have asynchronous message delivery from an EJB you need to use EJB 2.0s Message Driven Beans.
Hope this helps.

Docs can have bugs, yes. That wouldn't be the first time.
It could be very tedious to give all and every cases where nextval should not work, I'm sure there're other cases.
Well, unless you have plenty time to spend solving the docs problems, you may want to rewrite your code to make it work. Much easier, and mush faster than going through the support to know which is right between doc and Oracle code. I'd tend to think about the 2nd though, since we are talking about an aggregate.
What about :
select nvl(mysum, s_test.nextval) from (select sum(col1) mysum from t10);
