Conform crashes - can I salvage my project?

I have a STP project I've been working on for a number of weeks and want to conform to a more recent send from FCP, but I continue to receive variations of the below error, after which STP hangs.
NSInternalInconsistencyException
Stuck in B(m) loop, probably because some clips don't have parents assigned. [m_SSame count] = 0, [m_SDelete count] = 102, [m_SModify count] = 53
I'm not 100% certain on what a clip's "parent" means, since the word does not appear once in the user manual (thanks Apple...) but I have checked every clip for its linked media file or stap file and everything is linked properly. I am certain that the error lies with the older stmp file (the one with all the work) so new sends from FCP won't do.
Does anyone have any idea what to do in this situation? I really can't perform all this work again.

Janet, Macs used for a long time with no maintenance can get slow. See this article:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
I worked on three old G3 PowerBooks for a friend who knew nothing about these automated procedures. Simply running them manually made his computers feel much faster.
Does you eMac have a DVD drive? You'll need that to install most versions of Tiger.
I think Jaguar is part of your problem. My daughter has an eMac 700 that was getting slow with 10.2.8. I installed Panther via Archive and Install and that alone made the computer most responsive and she has only 384MB RAM. I vote for Tiger (and more RAM), mainly to give you the latest browsers. Most browsers do not support 10.2.8 any longer. FireFox and Camino's latest versions will run under Panther (10.3) where you can't run higher than Safari 1.3.2 under 10.3. Camino is the faster of the two and my favorite on machines that cannot support the latest versions of Safari.
Some people with Tiger on older machines disable DashBoard and Spotlight to free up resources.

IMovie crashing, can't access my projects

Hi everyone, sorry, i can't find a similar topic already open?
I used iMovie 11 to create an hour long collection of home movies, with transitions, audio tracks, some sped up sections, etc. I tried to export it to iDVD yesterday, but the audio went out of sync with the video clips. So, I detached the audio from the clips, but just before completing this task, iMovie started crashing as soon as I would try to open my project.
My project was saved on an external hard drive, so I tried opening it on another iMac with iMovie 11. It worked at first, enabling me to finish detaching the audio, but because all my music tracks were saved in iTunes on my first computer, I needed to bring in all the music to iTunes on the second computer so that iMovie could access the tracks. Since bringing the music tracks into iTunes, i haven't been able to open my iMovie project at all. iMovie crashes as soon as I launch the application - it won't even show my project, it just crashes straight away.
It is crashing on both computers, I have tried deleting the .plist caches (I followed some online instructions, but don't really understand it), and I cleaned up my computers with OnyX. I did software updates, and do these regularly. I've tried restarting a million times. Both computers are only 3 months old and have plenty of memory available.
I'm at a loss, as I spent weeks of late nights working on this project, and now i haven't got a clue how I'm going to access it, yet alone burn it to a DVD. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift for family, and now I've got no Christmas presents to hand out! This is a total nightmare. If anyone can help I would be so grateful! Please help quick!
Kate.

Thank you so much for your reply, I'm desperate for some help.
This afternoon my iPhoto said it couldn't be opened "because it was incomplete or damaged", so I decided to uninstall iLife 11 and reinstall it. This seems to have stopped the crashing problem in iMovie and has restored my iPhoto back to normal.
The problem I have now, is that when I open iMovie, I can see my project, but I can't edit it at all. I can click on 'Edit Project' but only if I open the project via by external hardrive (where it is stored), not directly from iMovie.
When it does open, I can't edit it, I can't preview it, the viewer isn't working (although sometimes i can see distorted, broken bits of images), and I can't play the project at all (not using space bar, not in the viewer, not in the preview mode). The only way I can play any clips is in the event browser. It doesn't seem to recognising the clips used in the project (as there are no longer any orange lines underneath the clips I've used).
I don't know what to do with it now - I can't even begin a new project because the viewer isn't working in a new project either. Is my project corrupted, and causing functionality problems in iMovie? And if so, is there a way of repairing the project?
Thank you for your kind help! It's really appreciated!!

Can't open my project after FCP X 10.0.7 crash. Backup file is missing, Autosave Vault too. Pro Maintenance Tools does not fix the problem. The event and media are ok. I have crash log and CurrentVersion.fcpproject. Please help, it's very big project.

And here are the last crash logs if it can be of any help:

Can't open my project, after Animate crashed

Hi!
After Animate crashed with error, I can't open my project. I have the following error message, when trying to open it:
"Loading Failed, please check your page for JavaScript errors".
I'm using Animate v.2014.1 under Win7.
Does anybody knows, how to deal with it, and restore my files?
Thanks!

As far as I can see, EA doesn't allow the user to create items with the same name. If you try to create an identical name, for instance in renaming, it reverts to the previous name.
So how in the world can this even happen?
And so how can I correctly comb the code to fix it?

Hard Drive Crashed-Reinstalled iMov-can't move Events/Projects

I had to put new Hard drives into my Mac Pro. I did manage to salvage my Projects and Events by copying them temporarily to an external drive. I have since copied them on to a partition of one of the new internal drives.
I then had to reinstall iMovie from my iLife disc.
Now, when I open this new iMovie, I see all the internal and external drives and volumes, but none of my Events or Projects show up. Each drive has a downward triangle and nothing showing under it.
I read instructions and posts and as best I can understand, I am supposed to drag a Project icon, holding down command or copy, onto the icon of the drive I want it on in the Project Library list.
But as soon as I get my curser carrying the Project into the Project Library window, all the drives shift out of reach and it becomes the empty dark grey Project Library panel.
I tried the same with Events but there, the drives don't move but what I am trying to drag and rop does not turn into a plus sign and if I let go it does nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Help? Thanks

Appleman-that was fantastic. Thank you. Copied those folders over to new drive at top level, opened iMovie and viola!

My computer crashed. I want to retrieve my library and transfer to my new computer. How do I do this? Can I salvage my library?

My old computer crashed. I have not been able to add any tunes to my iPod because my entire library was on my old "dead" computer. Can I salvage my library and put it on my new laptop? How do I do this?

You can download purchased items from I tunes. Other music like from ripped CD's will be gone unless you backed them up.

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

How can you open a project file backup if the main project won't load?

This has only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I'm on Logic 10.0.7, OSX 10.8.5. On one particular project, it will be loading seemingly normally, then it just disappears with no crash log, nothing.
Presumably there is some sort of corruption in the project file.
In the old pre package days, you would just go to the project file backups folder and pick a previous one. Bingo, you have only lost a little bit of work.
Now when I show package contents, the project file backups folder has project data files that won't open logic, and are invisible until you have logic open. Which I can't do.
Rue the day I selected the package option rather than folder.
Any suggestions?
Or to put the question another way, how can I convert the project data in the project file backups folder to a file that Logic can recognise and open?

Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

Can't open my project, help please...

I've spent hours and hours on my wedding video project... When I was working on it, iMove suddenly crashed and then I can't open the project any more...
I can't open, edit, duplicate and export the project. It allows me to play it in full screen but the content is incomplete.
My other two projects are fine.
I tried to reinstall iMovie (delete the program and com.apple.pkg.iMovieXXXX files, and reinstall and update) but it didn't help...
I tried to repair the disk permissions but it didn't help...
Could anyone please save me and my project..
I was using Lion and iMovie 11 with the latest updates. My labtop is MBP 15'' mid-2010.
Thanks!

Anyone could help me please ???

Cp 5 crashes during publishing of large projects

I have large Captivate 5 projects with 300-450 slides divided into 2 to 4 slide groups. When I publish the SWF file, the publishing process always freezes at 70% and the application crashes (can't hit Cancel in the progress window ).
This is not due to any particular file; many of my large projects run into this problem.
This is probably not due to a particular slide since all the projects freeze at 70% and I can publish each slide group in its own project without any trouble.
The projects are straightforward demonstrations; no quizzing.
Scouring the net I've had trouble finding a resolution to the problem. I use Captivate 5.0.3.631
Hoping for ideas. Thanks for reading
-Patrick
PS.
I've tried:
> In publish dialog "Advanced Options", to enable "force re-publish all the slides"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Advanced Project Compression"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Compress SWF File"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to enable "Compress Full Motion Recording SWF file"
> to remove the slide groups and leave the slides ungrouped
> In Publish dialog, to publish as .f4v instead of swf
> to hide all the slides in a slide group in order to reduce the publish SWF to 200 or 250 slides.
None of these have worked.

Vikranth --
Through process of elimination, I have found the offending slide -- Slide 55 in the Captivate 5 version, which incorporates several fill-in-the-blank questions. When I hide that one slide, everything previews and/or publishes as it should. I had my colleague test her original Captivate 4 version in Captivate 4, and that slide worked just fine (it is however a slightly later slide number) -- the entire project previewed as expected. I then had her import her orginal file into Captivate 5 and do the same thing, and it crashed for her as well.
So, it must be something about the way that particular slide is setup that screws up somehow in the conversion from a Captivate 4 file to a Captivate 5 file. I'll just handle that question differently to fix the issue at hand, but do you have any idea why this problem might have occured in the first place? It seems that the patch didn't correct this situation as it corrected most of the other Captivate 4 to Captivate 5 issues.
Thanks to everyone for their help. I had to play detective and isolate the issue, and haven't solved it, but at least now I have a starting point to try and do the slide in a different way to work around the issue.

Constant Crashes with Specific FCP X Project.

Hey all,
I've just recently upgraded to a 27" iMac with 24 gigs of ram, 2 gigs of video ram, 3.2 GHz i5, 1 TB Fusion drive, and I'm editing in FCP X.
I'm running the latest Mountain Lion. 10.8.3
I'm doing a project now and I'm getting towards the end of it, and it's starting to crash. At first it only happened a few times, but now it's just about every 2-3 minutes. It seems as if I can switch to another project / event and work just fine without any crashes. However it's not cooperating with this one specific (and important) project.
I've dumped the prefs files and uninstalled / reinstalled the only third part app I'm using. (Magic Bullet Looks 2.1.0)
Yes I have the current FCP X Version.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Here is a screenshot of the crash report.

When just one project is causing problems, it's usually a sign of a corrupt file or files.
Unless you can find which one(s) you will not be able to finish the project.
If you can remember when it started you could remove that part of the project to see if there is an improvement.
There's no easy answer.

Premiere Pro CS6 crash everytime I close a project

Hello,
I got 32 different projects with lots of AE links in the timeline (more than 80% is AE links). The problem occurs when I start the queue process for rendering in media enconder.
Everytime I send a project to enconder, when I want to close premiere pro to swtich to another project and do a big batch render list on encoder, premiere crash with a "sorry a serious error has occur" message.
Even if the queue encoder is empty but the app is open the premiere crash, whenever you quit, close project or open a new project.
It's taking a lot of time to reopen, wait for the media to come online and consolidate links, then send queue then wait for the crash the reopen etc... I making corrections on this 32 different projects and I need to batch enconde all of them everytime the clients ask me for a change.
I feel is payback time... I just switch from FCP to premiere and I was loving how fast I was doing this project working everythin in adobe over FCP+AE+Protools was so fast until now.
Any suggestion? thanks
Macpro 4,1 Quad core intel xeon 2.66Ghz
osx10.6.8
16G RAM
ATI radeon HD 5770
Blackmagic Studio HD

one more thing, this could be helpful if anyone else is running the same problem.
I found that if you save the encoder queue and close the encoder, then you can close the premiere project without crashing premiere.
but also found that AE does exactly the same, if you are editing a AE link comp you will need to close and quit after effects before changing premiere project
