Entire Projects Lost on A3

I just lost images taken 12/6/10. I have my card set to import directly into Aperture3. I was working on processing some of the photos. I even managed to upload three photos to my Flickr account. As it is, i sold one of the photos, went back into A3 to process it and find the entire shoot gone. It is not anywhere on my disk, Vault, TM, backup disks. I toggled thru using V and see nothing but bright colors.
I will never again eject my card w/o also downloading photos into another folder. I always do this when I have paid shoots because I am so paranoid about losing pictures.
*I did not do anything different downloading these photos and initially they were all there. What on earth could make them just disappear???*
*What I am seeing are the picture files, some still with their stars and cropped LOL...but blank.*
*I did backup Vault....the folders from December are empty. I am at a loss as to how to bring the pics back.*

I wish I had imported the pics somewhere else! But no, my default is to import from card straight to A3. I entered the project name/date/copyright and worked on the photos (thereby the crops and stars). I opened the project a couple of times, worked on some pics. No problems.
Yesterday, the project lost it's images. There is no master file to be found on main disk, backup, clone, TM, vault. Gone. Just Gone. Oh, as I said, not in trash either. The only thing I disconnected was the CFC after importing...but remember, I worked on the photos at least twice afterwards. They were there, no they are not. ****.
I am running a restore from TM for the date I know the photos were viewable. But as far as I could tell, there are no master files for these photos.

IMovie crashed. Completely lost an ENTIRE PROJECT

I just recently updated my Macbook pro to OS X Mavericks Version 10.9 and so I also updated my iMovie to Version 10.0.1. I used it the whole day yesterday and it kept crashing everytime I used the "Ken Burns" crop tool specifically. It will first lag then crash. Or My entire macbook would lag then I'd have to restart it. So when it came down to me about to export it just doing the final touches, I used the tool again then t lagged (OF COURSE) and I had to restart. The difference this time was, when I restarted my macbook, I opened iMovie again and IT LOST MY ENTIRE PROJECT. IT WASN'T THERE. It says that there are two projects but I can only see one which I did earlier. The other is nowhere to be found.
Does anyone know how I can recover my project? I friggin' worked hard on that and all was loss. I haven't set up my time machine.
Is there still a way that I can recover my lost project?
Please help!

Same thing happened to me, luckily I just started a new project, but Its very annoying, a tool that use to work is now all of a sudden useless . . . or less effective cause you can't make use of the crop function.
I'm considering rebuilding my machine with old version of OSX.
Is there a fix for this ?

I lost an entire project on Adobe Story after it crashed(even though it was online)

I had an entire project with summaries, 2 character bios and a 13 page screenplay that I have been working for weeks now and Adobe Story crashed last week and when I opened THAT project was gone, while others weren't. I am a Creative Cloud member and really need help with this. Thank you!

Can you send your Adobe ID (email that you use to sign in to Story) to agupta at adobe dot com ?
We'll try to figure out what happened, and find your work.
Thanks

"Unexpected Errors," losing entire projects, saving?

My iMovie application had an 'unexpected error' and quit on me. When I rebooted, my entire project was rendered unplayable. Each slide "could not locate source clip." I had to spend 2 hours reediting the entire project. 1.) should that happen in the future, how do I retrieve the 'source clips' of my projects without having to reedit the entire thing, 2.) I had used earlier versions of iMovie, which has options of 'Saving your Project.' I have yet to encounter any such feature on this, the newest version, of iMovie. It appears to save automatically, yet when it quit unexpectedly the aforementioned project was lost. Had I had a normal save option, I would have been able to continue as if nothing had happened. Is their a way to manually save every now and again?
Please respond ASAP

I called Apple and we worked out a fix. What caused the problem is unknown, but I believe Imovie corrupted my Movie folder. Here's why:
The support rep told me to quit Imovie and go to my user library/prefferences and look for the file com.apple.iMovie8.plist or any similar and drag them to the desktop. Make a complete copy of your "Movie" folder. ALL files, not just Imovie folders.
Restart the computer and run Imovie and see if the projects appear. In my case, after running Imovie, all my movie files were gone except Imovie projects folder. That is why I had you back up your "Movie" folder. Copy the files in the movie folder backup back to the movie folder and rerun Imovie. My clips, videos and projects were back.
I think Imovie corrupted my movie folder. Time machine could not restore or even see any movie folder before today. It obviously knew that the corrupted movie folder did not match the movie folder it had been backing up for months. After removing the Imovie preff files and running Imovie again, it somehow fixed my movie folder and it again matched up with the time matching movie folder and I was able to restore my project back and it worked.
That is why I believe the movie folder is getting corrupted by Imovie. Apple pretty much agreed and is requesting that a manual backup be put in place to help this problem if it happens again. The auto backup in Imovie was put in because so many people would lose their project if there was a crash during rendering. They probably were correct in doing this. I suggest they add another manual backup that could be restored to the movie folder if issues happen. The Imovie folder getting corrupted is another issue they should work on.
If this solves your problem, start doing your own manual backups of your projects knowing you can delete the movie folder and recreate it again with little effort.
Hope this helps.

Keep accidentally deleting Entire Project...design Flaw??

At least 5-6 times I have in-advertantly deleted an entire project. This has happened when i thought i had the first picture in a project selected which i wanted to delete no realizing the individual picture was not actually selected but the entire project and then poofffttt, its gone, all edits, previews, everything. now I know it is not lost for good as it was in the trash BUT all must be reimported and redited! There is no undo or warning on such a time consuming unreversable action.
Has anyone experienced this or is there some other way to recover which is not as time consuming i am unaware of?

under preferences, there is a check box for, "Show warning when deleting masters" ... make sure it is checked and you will get the message as described ...
even with projects ...

Since my colorsit doesn't have CS4, I nested sequences in another timeline so that when I imported project in AE my colorist could see the one clip nest and click it to see other timeline to see all clips detail.
Thank you.

Can you set a Cost Rate Table to be used for an entire project

In earlier versions of project, the default cost rate table (A) is used unless changed by the user for each assignment. In 2010, is it possible to define which cost rate table to use for the entire project, not at the assignment level?
Thanks.

Hi melduncan,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project forum:)
I assume you want project to have a default cost rate, so why not set the cost rate details into A to begin with, You could then set this as a template from which you initiate all your new projects see FAQ
Item: 8. New Project Template. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

BAPI for scheduling entire project?

Hi!, we need to simulate a scheduling depending on dates introduced by user.
Does anybody know if its possible to schedule entire project via function or similar ECC 6.0?. CJ29 seems to be difficult becase log of changes are shown in ALV...
Thanks for your help!!!!!

Hello!,
Bapi_project_maintain has schedule method?.
Also if bapi_network_maintain could schedule all may networks. How could I ascend new dates to wbs elements and project?. Also, Could I access to scheduling result?.
My issue is tahe we need to do a kind of scheduling simulation. User could change a activity date (via constraint) and we have to schedule project taking into account this new date. If the result is not good for user, we have to delete the constraint and keep the project as it was before the process.
So, we need to schedule the project via bapi_network_maintain only if the bapi returns the scheduling results...
Any idea????
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!.

In Aperture 3, how can I easily move entire projects out of my main Ap Library into other libraries? My Ap library is running super slow because it's overloaded l so I have created two new libraries, but can't seem to move the projects into them

In Aperture 3, how can I easily move entire projects out of my main Ap Library into other libraries? My Ap library is running super slow because it's overloaded, so I have created two new libraries, but can't seem to move the projects into them?

Hello Annabel,
To move entire projects export them as Aperture Libraries, and then import those Libraries into the other Aperture Library:
Select the Project in the Inspector, then
File -> Export -> Project as Library
In the other Library do:
File -> Import -> Library/ Project
But I am not quite convinced, that the size of your current Aperture Library is responsible for the slowness of Aperture - Aperture is designed to cope with huge libraries.
You may want to post your hardware setup and details of your library, and some of the hardware experts here may help you to find the reason for the slowness.
A huge library should only be a problem, if the projects are too big, and if you have many, many smart albums at the root level of your library.
So keep the projects small, and try to move some of your smart albums to lower levels in your folder structure (then Aperture does not need to scan all of your images to build the smart album).
Other reasons for Aperture's slowness may be, e.g.
An overfull system drive and/or external drive (keep at least 20% of your drives empty)
lack of RAM
a corrupted Aperture Library, that needs repairing
Have you checked those options, before you split your library? It would be a pity to split it, for you would loose the ability to browse all parts at the same time, to use all your images in the Media Browser, etc.

Just imported clips and edited as new project. closed imovie. came back later and the entire project was gone. i was not done so i did not finalize it. how do i get the program to keep my project in progress

running imovie on a powermac w 10.6.8. went through the tutorials. imported my clips, got the hang of basic editing, and created a project.
was pretty happy with it, but needed to shut down and come back to work on it later. when i did come back, the entire project was gone.
how do i get the program to save my work in progress, without finalizing it?
thanks

So, everything worked out just fine!
I have all my material in the ProRes Codec on a seperate drive now. The project itself was kept or rather duplicated, the bin structure etc stayed the same but is linking to the newly created files. The playback and workflow is fluent. I am happy!
Time info: For about 120 GB of material the codec change process took 25 hours.
Thanks for your help!

How to make the entire project in the project server 2013 reschedule؟

How to make the entire project in the project server 2013 reschedule ?
Because item %compelet related to reschedule
In this photo it is known there are no items update project

Hi,
In PWA, you do not have the feature to update the project plan in one click, meaning marking as completed the work before the status date or reschedule after the status date the remaining work. Either you have to use Project Pro, or edit individually the
assignments with the actual work (if not comming from timesheets) and remaining work.
Hope this helps,

Duplicating an entire project?

Hi there,
I have duplicated all of the files and the folder structure in an ID CS4 project that contains 40 chapters organized under a book file. I renamed the parent folder to indicate a new version.
When I open the book file in the duplicate folder structure and open one of the chapters, ID opens the chapter file from the original folder.
How can I edit my book file to point to the newly duplicated files in the new folder structure?
I haven't found a discussion on this subject nor does my CS4 Bible seem to mention this. Am I trying to do something that shouldn't be done at all?
Thanks,
Peter H.

Thank everyone for the feedback. I wasn't aware of the package feature you mentioned so I'll investigate that possible solution.
I successfully updated the book file to point to all of the copies... it just took a while with 40 chapters.
I suspected there would be an issue with the image links. I'd like to find a solution to that as well. Since I'm the newest person on the team but solely responsible for his particular document, it is up to me to fix things without rocking the boat too much. (politics)
After investigating a few of the links, I see that some of the hundreds of images are pointing to indivisual computers belonging to people no longer employed by the company. I'm finding links pointing to user folders on distant C: drives.
I don't mind independent copies of the entire project with all the images in folders below the ID files. Wish those links were relative paths instead of the full path but it is what it is... I am more concerned with the missing images and the fact that ID now has to use whatever temp file it is using to display the image of the missing file.
Sounds like I've got a busy week ahead of me... but I'm done for now... got my 40 hours in and I'm not authorized any overtime no matter how much I'd like to clean this up as quickly as possible. :-)
Thanks again,
Peter H.

Checking out entire project

I'm trying to get RoboHelp 9 set up with Subversion. Thus far I'm using the RH UI to do everything, but I've seen posts from others saying they check the entire project in and out of source control. Can comeone please elaborate on how that works? I know that there are some files that you don't add to source control, such as the .cpd file. So how do you set everything up? Are you checking the folder that contains the project in and out? If so, how do you omit the files that are supposed to be excluded?

Hi,
You can check out the project from the RoboHelp GUI. Click Check out all to check out the entire project.
You can also use the client to check out all the project files at once. Typically, you would not integrate the project with version control. You just check in the files after you've closed RoboHelp.

Delete an entire project in Premiere Pro CS5.5

HI: How can I delete an entire project in PP CS5.5. I'm worried about deleting because I have a bunch of projects saved and I'm not sure how they are saved and if they are scattered all over the HDD's. I don't want to delete something that I'm using. I use a designated drive and make folders for each project but it has gotten a bit out of hand and I might not have been as dedicated as I should have been as far as organization. It seems that some of these files go to the C drive in Adobe folder and I never use that but something does. Can anyone tell me how Adobe stores all this stuff and how to know what files are with what projects. I would gladly read about it if I could get pointed in the right direction. A preThanks to all who respond. Spark

Settings for scratch disks are set in the Project Settings/Scratch Disks and all the available other settings are in the Edit/Preferences/Media options. Cleaning the Media Cache can help in cleaning up and is not destructive. Everything that is needed will be recreated when PR needs it. It will show up as indexing, conforming and creating PEK files.
Changing specific directories like C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Premiere Pro\5.5 and C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Premiere Pro\5.5 are generally not advised, specially not for the faint of heart.
