Error message then FCP shuts down

While trying to open a project I am getting an error message "Searching for movie data file Sequence 1-FIN0-00000172" with a stop button at the bottom of the message box. After waiting and no luck, I click stop and the project continues to open only to stall out at 12%. I get the same error message only this time with "Without this file, the movie cannot play properly" and a Search and Cancel button on the bottom. I click cancel. The project continues to load, timelines appear, and then FCP crashes. I have trashed all the render files and installed Preference Manager hoping this would help but, it hasn't. Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated as this is my demo reel.
Thanks
Todd

Looks like the data file it's looking for is part of a QuickTime reference movie that no longer exists. Reference movies only work if all of what they reference (media files, renders etc.) is online on your computer. Self contained movies don't need to look for files like this because they have all of the media associated with them in the file itself.
So what seems to have happened to you is that you imported a reference movie from FCP or some other application, and then trashed part of what it referenced, or it doesn't reside on your computer at the moment, or someone else's computer where you created file has it on their drive. Render files can be part of this, so if you trashed them, they are goners.

IPhoto error message saying it shut down unexpectedly.

I shut down iPhoto and when I try to reopen iPhoto I get an error message saying it shut down unexpectedly and now it will not open at all.
What can I do to restore/reopen iPhoto?

Backup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and use the resulting first aid window to rebuild your database

Error Message that requires shut down/restart

I'm starting to receive an error in 4 different languages that says I need to shut down and restart my mac book. Any clue as to what is going on?

Hi X,
Those are called kernel panics.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742

They can be caused by a number of things, one of which is RAM. Do you have the original Apple-supplied RAM installed or has more/different RAM been added?

Debug unknow error message followed by shut down when attempting to render nested timeline

My specs:
AMD64 x2 Athlon 4600+
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
2 RAID 0 hard drive (1 TB and one 500 GB) SATA2
1 SATA2 C: drive of 160 GB
4 GB of DDR2 RAM
MATROX APVe
Dual Monitors (with Ultramon)
Windows XP Pro
Premiere Pro CS3 using AspectHd v5.0 build 88
My PP3 gives me an unkonwn error message in a debug window everytime I try to render my timeline that has one 2 seconds clip of another nested sequence...!?!
It occurs at about a fifth of the 1st of 2 audio preview render that it has to do.
I usualy did have problem rendering file with PP2 cause of Premiere's system memory bug, but never I've add trouble before in PP3...until well now.
What is the problem? Anybody experiencing that bug also?

The project in which this problem occurs is about 1 TB of footage in AspectHD Low HD; there's 37 tape captured in batch and recomposed on a different sequence for each tape to compensate for the lost of timecode when digitazing with CINEFORM (so 37 nested time line).
I use those nested timelines as if I was picking shots from a huge clip that captured the whole tape.
Of course Premiere ask me the render the sequences nested in addition to the main one in which I edit footage...
I'm currently editing a trailer and wanted to render 2 clip that were sampled from 2 different sequences, but PP3 has the bug windows at 10,51% and closes. The text in the debug window is that "Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry about..."
If you need anymore info please ask what specificaly, cause I would be at a lost to add more...:)

FCP shuts down when exporting

I've been trying to export some 3-5 minute segments from FCP HD to quicktime files (self-contained). Every time I try to export the segments, it will go to about 15% and then the whole program completely shuts down "unexpectedly". I've tried it 20 times or so and I'm getting the same results.
My entire project is saved on an external HD (Maxtor 300gb) with the project file itself saved on my G4's HD. I don't know if that makes a difference. I've tried to export the QT files to both the external and my desktop...same results.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Well I just had a problem exporting a qt which gave me a general error message rather than shutting down. I landed up locating the problem area by trying to export the first half, then the second half and slowly narrowing down the area and then shifting the top video clip up a layer. This solved the problem probably by forcing a rerender.
I suspect the problem was a corrupt render so you might solve the problem by simply deleting all your renders and rerendering.

I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

I have MacBook Pro and whenever I start Aperature 3 it stays on for about 5 minutes then it shuts down with an error of shutting down unexpected... anything??

Hello, I have MacBook Pro and whenever I start Aperature 3 it stays on for about 5 minutes then it shuts down with an error of shutting down unexpected... anything??
Also does anyone know how to take something from one picture and add it to another in aperature?
Thank you!!!

I had the exact same problem. Here is what an Apple Support person told me to do - and it worked like a charm!
Go to your APPLICATIONS Folder. Find a folder within that folder called TOOLBARS. Remove the ENTIRE folder. Once you remove that folder, your Aperture should work perfectly.
There is something in that folder that you don't need that messes with Aperture. Try it. Mine worked perfectly!

Downloaded videos play for 10 seconds then iTunes shuts down

Have downloaded 2 videos from Music Store. They work well on my new iPod 30GB, but will not play on my PC. Reasonably good spec PC - AMD Athlon XP2000+ processor, 512 RAM, 128MB Graphics RAM (nVididia GeForce fx5200)and I have no problem playing DVDs on my PC. The video clips play for 10 seconds then iTunes shuts down giving my a Windows error message. Any thoughts?

Since downloading the video from iTunes Music store my songs downloaded from Nusic Store will no longer play either. It prompts my to enter my password (which I have checked and changed) but they still will not play

As I wrote you need to look at the crash reports to see where Photoshop is crashing Look in your Windows Action center's Reliability History for your Photoshop CS6 critical events then click on them to see where the problem are. View image uploaded here in a new browser tab or window and scale them to actual pixels the site scale image poorly.

Corrupt media causing dropped frames? FCP shuts down without warning.

Hello,
I have a project that was working fine, then one day we started getting numerous dropped frame warnings during playback on the timeline (specifically during sequences that have multiclips); then two days later, playback causes the entire project to freeze and FCP shuts down.
We are on 17" MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 667
Mac OS X 10.4.9
External drive: Western Digital 1 TB, My Book Pro Edition, FW 800, 7200rmp, 650GB used
FCP 5.1.4, DV-NTSC project, source media captured from DVCam
I have tried all the normal adjustments for dropped frames issues including boosting the ram allocated to FCP, closing additional sequences and applications, hard drive is formatted OS X Extended, etc. Multiclip squences have only 2 video/audio streams at a time, so I can't imagine that its bottle necking here.
One thing to note is that the second external drive, which has duplicates of all the same media and copy of the most recent project is working fine. The only difference is that the problem drive also has media that was ripped from DVDs using Mac The Ripper, and then compressed using MPeg Streamclip into .dv (then changed to .mov before importing into FCP). We are using the DVD material as scratch until we can obtain the original footage as we get closer to going online. We are in the process of obtaining permissions from directors/distributors/studios, but this obviously takes time.
DVD material is totaling close to 55GB. Also, even though the clips are .mov, we are still getting a red bar and having to render the media. Audio is at 48hz so no problem there. Not sure why it still requires us to render.
Is it possible that the project is somehow corrupt? Is all the rendered material too taxing for FCP? Am I handling this extra footage inefficiently?
I have spent hours on this forum looking for the answer, but haven't come across a solution yet. Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure I understand. You have duplicate media on another drive? You're having problems playing back the media from one drive but NOT the other? Sounds like your drive might be failing. Try running Diskwarrior (to repair any possible directory structure problems) and techtoolpro (to see if there's any physical problem).
I have had problems with multiple firewire drives from different manufacturers connected at the same time. Try disconnecting everything BUT the problem drive.
You shouldn't need to do any rendering if the clip settings exactly match the sequence settings. Try this: select one clip, control click and choose make multiclip sequence. Is there a red bar in the sequence? If not, your clip settings to not match your sequence settings in the problem sequence.
Good luck

MBP 13" late 2011. when I turn it on it goes to an update screen then just shuts down

Lately I had problems when I recharged the battery, charging is constantly interrupted... And now, when I turn it on it goes to an update screen, then just shuts down. O.S: MAVERICKS
PLEASE HEEEELP!
P.D: Sorry for my english.

LaCalle,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, select the First Aid tab if it’s not already selected, then press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the update screen now?
