Error message: Unknown File

Hi there! I tried to import some mp4 files into Final Cut Pro 7 the other day and it came up with an error message saying the files were unknown. I looked at the codecs of each file and they were identical to mp4 files that had imported. I even tried imported them individually - too no luck. I use a 2008 MacBook Pro with Version 10.6.8 and have never had this problem with FCP7 before.
Help?

mp4 is not a native file type FCP can use correctly, having a GOP structure, it is a delivery file type, based on H264 codec, its not an editing type, your lucky to have imported mp4 without freezing FCP in the past.
you need to convert mp4 files using Compressor into a file type FCP can work with nativly and you wont have any more issues; DV, DVC Pro, Apple Prores .....
Ensure that the audio is converted to 48K, which will iliminate the audio problems
As an alternative, for rough and ready editing, use QuickTime Pro which can play and edit mp4, it wont be frame accurate though.

N73 Error Messaging: Unknown File Format (-12003)

Hi,
Could someone please tell me what is the below error message for in N73 Phone?
Messaging: Unknown File Format (-12003)
I received a bluetooth attachment of a ".avi" extension. When i try to open that message in my inbox, it gives me the above error. I have a software "SmartMovie" which can play ".avi" files installed on my phone. So i don't understand why this error ?
Is it possible to configure the file types like avi to an application in N73 ?
Please let me know..

SHort answer is you can't.
If you can save the file to the phone you can download the dvx player from http://mobile.divx.com and then open the AVI file with the DiVX player. But you can't add AVI as a recognized file type (at least I haven't found a way).
640K Should be enough for everybody

I get an error message "unknown publisher" when I download quicktime 7.7 for windows 64bit

I am trying to download quicktime and I get an error message :unknown publisher". I am using windows 7 64-bit operating system. Can anyone help me?

Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.
Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe?

Error message "Live file system repair is not supported."

System won't boot. Directed to Disk Utility to repair but get error message "Live file system repair is not supported." Appreciate all help.
Thanks.

I recently ran into a similar issue with my Time Machine backup disk. After about 6 days of no backups - I had swapped the disk for my photo library for a media project; I reattached the Time Machine disk and attempted a backup.
Time Machine could not backup to the disk. Running Disk Utility and attempting to Repair the disk ended up returning the "Live file system repair is not supported" message.
After much experimentaion with disk analysis softwares, I came to the realization that the issue might be that the USB disk dock wasn't connected directly to the MacBook Pro - it was daisy-chained through a USB Hub.
Connecting the USB disk dock directly to the MBP and running Disk Utility appears to have resolved the issue. DU ran for about 6 hours and succesfully repaired the disk. Consequently, I have been able to use that Time Machine disk for subsequent backups.

If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

Get error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading" even when attaching 1 file

I attached multiples .pdf files to an email. Tried to attach the next file before the previous 1 finished attaching. Got error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading". Was never able to attach that 1 file to the email that I received the error message for; was able to attach subsequent files to that same email & send it. Now, I often get the same error message, even if I only attach 1 file & esp. when attaching .ai or .jpeg files. What can I do to fix this problem?

It looks like nobody has an answer for this despite of the 80 something views!
And here i thought Adobe admin would be monitoring the forum, but surprisingly, they don't even have the answer for this!!!

Revel Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded."

Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded. 1 file was unable to be uploaded and was skipped." I am a Revel user from its inception. I have never had upload errors before in Adobe Revel. I am trying to upload jpeg files in the same way I have done for months, which is by dragging and dropping files directly into an album I have created. Starting yesterday, only some files upload properly. Others receive the above error message. When I have tried to re-upload the jpegs which have not gone, I receive either the same error message or a slightly different error which indicates the files are not uploading because they are duplicates. They're not duplicates and appear nowhere else in my Revel albums. I have rebooted my Window 7 PC, I have repeatedly logged out and back into Revel. I have tried both Firefox and IE. I have tried creating new albums and uploading the failed files to a new album. I have cleared my Firefox cache. I have tried both the "drag and drop" feature and the "Add Photos or Videos" button in Revel. I have tried using the "Export to Revel" feature in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I have tried uploading never-before-attempted files, and - on average - only 25% of those brand-new files are uploading. I am a subscriber and pay for the Revel service, so I am not bumping into any upload quotas. I have read through these forums and have found problems similar to mine as far back as May 2013, but none of the problems ever seem to have been resolved other than the users simply giving up. Can you help? I am becoming increasingly confused with respect to which files have succeeded and which files have failed. Thank you. -Dori

You can have many libraries with many albums and files within them. Each library is independent, so if you upload a file to two libraries then you two copies. If you put a photo from a library in albums that live within that library, then there is only one copy in the library that each album has access to so it will show up when you view the album.

I found a few incomplete files in your account also. We will take care of this for you and contact you when it is complete.

Error message - Original file could not be found

When I open itunes, and try to click on a song, there is an "!" and I get the error message "original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
It does this for every song. I have to trace it down to "My Music\itunes\itunes\itunes music" and under that I have hundreds of files by artist.
How can I listen to the songs so I don't have to click on each one to make them play?
I hope you can help me.

First, a correction from my previous post: At the beginning I meant to write The iPod wasn't designed to sync playlist-related information back to iTunes.
And as for the polydorus link, let's try this .
Sorry about that.
Does that make sense? Do I need both folders?
No, in the end you'll only need one but I'm still not sure which one.
*I think the difference is there are no folders like in wndows, but the itunes library leads me directly to my library on the itunes website
I don't understand what you mean by the itunes library leads me directly to my library on the itunes website.
It sounds like there is only one iTunes database - iTunes Library.itl - file and that it's in your iTunes1 folder. Whether or not that is the case, what I'd like you to do is follow the instructions in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for opening an alternate iTune Library file. Select the Choose Library option and use the navigtion window that appears to make your way to an .itl file.
Select the .itl and iTunes will open with a Library that may - or may not - be different than what you last saw: somewhat different contents or exclamation marks may be present again.
If it's not a library you're happy with, close iTunes, wait ten seconds or so and then repeat the procedure looking for another .itl file - each one contains references for a different iTunes library.
When you find a library you're happy with, i.e. all the contents are listed and no exclamation marks, make a note of the location of that .itl. It's the one you're going to want to work with.
Using that database file, you can go back to iTunes, right-click various songs > Get Info > Summary tab and look to the bottom of that window to find out where that Library is being directed for those files. Make a note of that location.
When we know those two things, we should be able to proceed from there with deleting things.
In the future, when I buy new songs from apple, where will they automatically get stored?
In the location that's been selected in iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab for the iTunes Music folder.
What will happen when I sync my ipod on the computer?
That brings us back to the beginning of this post, by default the synch goes from iTunes to your iPod. So you shouldn't synch your iPod unless there's a satisfactory Library being displayed in iTunes.

Error message the file "itunes.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

I had to do a system recovery with a prior date. now I get an error message: the file "iTunes.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Anyone have a solution?

I know this is an old thread, but the information in it solved my current problem (Windows Vista, upgraded to iTunes 11.2 and resulted in this same .itl error message).
So, I'm here to thank turingtest2 for his excellent instructions to fix my problem. One of tt2's many detailed instructional tips). THANK YOU TURINGTEST2!
PS I'm generally reluctant to "mess with files and such, preferring to use Windows Restore, because it just doesn't seem right to me that end users of Apple devices should have to get into the guts of files and such. Sadly, I have finally just accepted that iOS updates never work right and I either have to deal with work-around fixes or never update. Eventually we do need to update or there will be other problems. All I can say is, I'm sure glad there are folks like turingtest2 here who spend so much time helping us.

TS1717 error message "The file "I Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of Itunes." I cannot get Itunes to launch at all

I get the error message The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be readbecause it was created by a newer version of itunes.
I tunes will not start, so I can't deauthorize the computer and do an uninstall/reinstall.
I have no idea what this means b/c I didn't import a new library.
Any help would be appreciated.

no one?
