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).

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.

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!

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,
Nic Neame

Why do I get an error msg that reads "operation not allowed" whenever I try to Remove Attributes from my timeline?

On any given project, whenever I select everything in my timeline and try to remove all the attributes, I get an error message that reads "operation not allowed."
If I select a smaller chuck of files on my timeline and hit remove attributes, it works, but this isn't the case if I select everything in my timeline.
How do I fix this? Thanks!

Have you tried trashing your Final Cut Pro preferences? It is usually the first step when FCP begins to act in unexpected ways.
Download Preference Manager (free) from Digital Rebellion
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
and use it to trash your preferences - they will be set to default the next time you open FCP.
If that does not remedy the problem, do you have any still images in your timeline that are not RGB, or are greater than 4000 pixels in the widest dimension?
Is your source material in an FCP7 edit friendly codec?

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:
JMS Exception registerEventsListener: javax.jms.IllegalStateException: Operation

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.

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 When Sending to Soundtrack Pro

Hi
I have a problem with FCP. I have a clip named
main service.dv
When i try to Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio Project, in the Save dialog, i tick Send only referenced media, and latest metadata... but when i hit Save, an "Operation not allowed" dialog appears. The file is saved, and I can open it in Soundtrack Pro, but its not associated back with FCP.
Thanks.

The footage was already captured before coming to me. I have nearly completed my project, now just needed STP to get rid of an electrical buzz on a clip.
It's still a bad workflow by definition, "operation not allowed" means you canto proceed without some kind of workaround. You do not need STP to remove a simple 60Hz. But you will need advanced audio processing tools to augment the 60Hz removal if the rest fo the track has lots of content in that freq.

Calendar on iOS 7.1: Cannot Save Event - That event does not belong to that event store.

Hi All,
I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.
Yesterday, while updating a birthday in the iPhone iOS calendar app (default calendar = GMail), I noticed that the new 'List View' in the iOS 7.1 calendar (and only that view) showed an event called 'New Event' - which has a start date of 2014 and an end date of 2001. If I go into that event, it will show me no title and no location - only, as mentioned, funny start and end times. The 'Delete Event' button is completely missing. This 'New Event' does not come up in any other view.
Trying to input a ficticious title with a valid start and end time into that event slot leads to a message from the calendar app saying: "Cannot Save Event - That event does not belong to that event store." I have deleted all calendars and re-add them again via settings, with / without soft and hard reset and tried every possible combination. Yet, the event will not disappear.
The funny thing is that this 'New Event' will still showed up, even when my GMail, work and iCloud calendars were disabled. I have, however, subscribed to a GMail calendar for Australian holidays, and there is a built-in 'Birthday' calendar that pulls the dates from the contacts (I do not use that contact field, though).
Does anyone have a similar issue? Any suggestions how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: This 'New Event' does not seem to sync to any calendar other than on the iPhone - not to Gmail, not to work, not to iCloud.

Had same problem. Although the phone looks off it actually isnt. If you actually turn it off and then on again this problem will disappear. I think its a memory overload issue that is solved by clearing the memory by turning it off.

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
at com.mysql.jdbc.ResultSet.checkClosed(ResultSet.java:3603)
at com.mysql.jdbc.ResultSet.next(ResultSet.java:2468)

Thanks for your help.

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.Sounds like a classic case of making Java do what the database was made to do.
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.

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.

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.
