FCP 10.1: "Copy Project to Library" does nothing?

I have a Project I'm working on that I need to transfer to an FCP user at a different location. I would like to transfer the job to an external HD to send to them. I thought I could just select the Project and then File > Copy Project to Library and copy it to a new Library (aka a "transfer" library), but when I do this, nothing is copied. In fact, the new Library that I try and create isn't even created. Something doesn't seem right...? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kristin.

Yea, that's one of the things I've tried. I've tried both...
1. File > New > Library (then File > Copy Project to Libray, attempting to copy to the new Library just created)
2. File > Copy Project to Library > New Library
With both attempts, the Project isn't copied (I've also tried to Move the project as well, with nothing happening). With #1, the Library is created, but nothing copied to it. With #2, the Library isn't even created (even though I go through the whole process of naming the new Library, choosing where to save it, etc.—but, when I click Save, nothing happens (the Library isn't even created).
Now, I've attempted doing the same with other Projects within the same Library, and they'll copy over fine, so I've at least narrowed it down to the individial Project I'm working with. I've consolidated the files (so they're not residing in external folders, etc.), I'm able to Duplicate the Project (within the same Library), I just can't Copy or Move it to a new Library.
Is it possible for a Project to become corrupt? Is there any way to repair a Library?
I've considered moving the whole event (as yes, I do want the associated media to be copied/transfered with the Project itself), but there are multiple projects within the event and so there would be a lot of "extra" media files that would go with it, which aren't part at that Project itself. As well, this problem, I assume, would persist on the recipients end, passing the problem on to them (which would become apparent when they need to transfer it back to us). So, I'd really like to "fix" the Project itself, so it can be copied to a new Library and transfered.
One other thing I tried was to "select all" from the Project's timeline and copy all the elements and paste into a new Project's timeline, but nothing happens that way, either, when I tried to paste (and this method works fine with other Projects' timelines).
So, there's defintely an issue with this one Project but not really sure how to fix it?
Any further advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kristin.

Thumbnail view for Library copied from Asset Library does not work

Hello ,
I created list definition based on Assed Library (I copied files from \15\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\AssetLibrary\AssetLibrary ) - I reused schema.xml and other files.
Then I added my new custom content type.
The problem is following: thumbnail view does not work now ( "/AssetLibraryDemo/Forms/Thumbnails.aspx" )
I don't have any javascript errors and any specific error in ULS log.
Can you give me advice, why thumbnail view has stopped working?

I need to use "List teplates" gallery functionality for this task.

Consolidate library does nothing

I want to consolidate my library under iTunes. I select Consolidate Library (under Advanced) but it appears to do nothing. If I delete the file from the original location iTunes can no longer find it. If I go to the iTunes folder I can't see the consolidated (copied) mp3 files. What am I doing wrong?
Windows XP

I spoke too soon. While the music I thought I copied appears in iTunes, when I click on a song to play it, I get a message that says it can't find the song? What the heck gives?
Thanks.

I tried to copy my iPhoto library to a second external drive and now the pgm, running on an iBook with 10.5.8 does not open the original library on launching?

Hi Guys, I copied my iPhoto library to a second external disk. Now my version of iPhoto (5.0.4) does not display the original library on the orignal external drive. I have reinstalled the iPhoto and it seems to make 2 attempts to find the library but fails. The iPhoto menu bar is available but does not function. The screen is blank. Any help appreciated,
Gethin

Are you indicating that you don't get this window when you hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto?
What do you mean by "nothing happens". What library opens when you launch iPhoto normally?

Copy items to the iphoto library does not seem to do anything

My understanding is that if I un-check "copy items to the iphoto library" images would be not be copied from the source and its just a reference.
But when I pull my external flash drive out I still see the thumbnail and can still open the image in full resolution.
So to me this makes it appear the check box is doing nothing.
Im sure it is but I cant tell what its doing.
Also if it is making a copy to my HD where is it going?
If its going to the iphotolib although I unchecked it and told it not to, where is it, I opened Show Package Contents but cant find my images.
Ed,

If you uncheck that preference (which is very strongly NOT recommended) then the originals are referenced rather than copied and the original must always be available on the eact same path
I suggest you reconsider as you will have many problems if you build a referenced library

Copied project missing from Project Library

Copied a project from one desktop to an external hard drive than to a different iMac. Can see the project file in the Movies folder, but can't get iMovie to open it. Thoughts?

You can't copy the project from the Finder of OS X, you have to do any moving and copying from within iMovie.
Also you can Consolidate which combines the Project and the associated clips from your Events folders.
The Project itself doesn't contain the actual video but rather references to the clips and clip segments you used from your events.
In iMovie go to Help, type Copy Project in the search and select the first entry. It explains.
Also you should search Consolidate and have a look at that.

How do I sort clips in the Project panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?

Two questions: How do I sort clip thumbnails in the Project Panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?
How do I "select" a group of 25 consecutive clips on the time line to form a group without having to click on each individual clip one at a time. The method in the Help menu about "alt" click does nothing for me.

Sorry, I missed part 2. Unless CS4.2 has added a true "Group" function, like in InDesign, Illustrator, etc., there is not a direct way to keep Selected Clips together. However, you can put them on their own Sequence and then Nest that Sequence with others. This is often done, so that one can apply Effects "globally" to that Nested Sequence. [Note: there is no real Group function in Titler either, but for many operations, one can Select multiple Text Blocks, Shapes, Lines, etc., but there is no way to permanently "hold" that group.]
The Alt-click in the Project Panel, for instance, will allow one to drag all to the Timeline, and the Shift-click (or lasso w/ Cursor) in the Timeline will allow one to apply certain things to that group, but the moment that any other Clip is Selected, that "group," does not exist.
I can see a use for a real Group function, but for things like the application of Effects, one would still need to do the Nesting. Test this out by Selecting just two Clips, and go to apply an Effect - you cannot do that. OTOH, one can apply an Effect to one Clip, Rt-click it and choose Copy, then Select multiple Clips and Rt-click on those, where you would Paste Attributes. Not exactly what I think you are asking about, but the results, with just a few clicks, should be the same.
If I missed your intent and need, let me know where I went wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

HELP!!!!! FCP won't read project!

Alright.
Here is the synopsis of my problem:
I was having trouble with Soundtrack Pro: stalling, extremely long process times, unexpectedly closing etc... I was told to delete Soundtrack Pro and to reinstall it. So, I deleted Soundtrack Pro from my Applications and Dock and then inserted the FCP Studio Installation CD. It asked me to select the program(s) I want to install and Soundtrack was the only available choice since the computer recognized I had deleted it.
I then followed all the installation instructions and inserted every CD part of the installation pack (to my surprise it asked for all of them even though I only need to install one program).
After everything was done installing, I reopened FCP to open my project and preceded to send it to Soundtrack Pro. I COULDN'T EVEN OPEN UP MY PROJECT. The FCP opens but when I try to open my project I get a message saying "FILE FORMAT IS TOO NEW FOR THIS VERSION OF THE APPLICATION".
I don't understand. It is the same software that I originally installed.
PLEASE HELP. I AM WORKING WITH A CLOSE DEADLINE!
THANKS!

It is the same software that I originally installed.
Could it be that there was an minor update to Soundtrack that is now missing?
Sometimes those updates are not directly obvious and come bundled in a ProApps Update package. Reinstalling might have taken you back to an earlier version.
Look in Hard Drive/Library/Application Support/Pro Apps. There should be a file called "Soundtrack Pro Integration.bundle" does the version # correspond to the # of the Soundtrack application itself?
Also compare the version # of receipts file(s) in Hard Drive/Library/Receipts.
This will take some time to sort out. FCS puts lots of files in odd places and some are in invisible folders. Do you have the possibility of moving the project to another computer? That way you can at least get the job out of the door first.
Another idea, although it might not be entirely free of risks:
Move the receipts for Soundtrack and ProApps Udates to a folder on your Desktop. Launch Software Update. It will now think that those updates never happened and should offer to download and install them. The installer knows where the various components go and should only replace the parts that are missing.

How to I copy my iTunes library onto an SD card in the same format such as artists, albums playlists etc on a Mac?

HHi,
i am trying to copy my iTunes library onto an SD card so that I can put it in my Audi A4 with the MMI. Is there any way of doing the transfer on iTunes but keeping the structure of iTunes, such as with albums, artists, playlists etc?
THanks in advane
Tom

Files are not copied to drives in a particular order. How they appear on a card depends upon how you have your computer set to display them. If I view a card with files and I have clicked the column header for "file modified date" then it will display in that order. The only time the copying of the files across to a flash drive will influence how your music appears in your player is if the player uses the file names to display the file order, with possibly some extra structure added using folders. If it reads the data inside the files then it will display them pretty much as iTunes would use them and how exactly they are displayed will depend upon how the player actually works. The other way (as I have already said) is if the player uses a special file to tell it how it should order the files on the display. When I last rented a new car it simple read the data inside the files as iTunes does and if a humble Ford Focus can do that then I suspect that is how Audi does it. If it is not doing this then maybe your files do not contain the data, or your simply have not read the special manual for the MMI that I see on Audi's website it provides to its owners and discovered how to set the view order.
Since nobody has seen to it I have been bestowed with an Audi you may have to wait for another Audi owner to answer this, or perhaps do some investigating yourself. If you type "Audi MMI A4" into a web search it will lead you to a bunch of videos on Audi's web site on how to use the MMI. My computer is old and my connection speed is slow so I absolutely hate instructional videos online and I will let you plow through them to see if any provide the information you need.
My understanding from Phil0124 statement is it is simply telling you to copy all the files in the Media folder to the card.
When I cut and paste the iTunes library onto my SD card, it put all of songs in a strange order. It had all of some number 1 from all the albums, then song 2, etc. It didn't keep them in album / artist setup. For some reason it won't copy over in the same structure.
Is this how you are seeing it when viewed on your computer, or is this how you are seeing it in the MMI? If that is how you are seeing it on the computer, forget it, or do as Phil01234 says and drag across folders from the main Media folder in the iTunes folder.
By the way, on a Mac to copy files from one drive to another you simply drag them, no copy and paste.

How can I copy my iTunes library with playcount information to a new computer?!?

Hello,
I'm about to get a new computer. I have all my music on a external HD, so I won't have problems preserving my music. But I would like to preserve other information too. Especially the play count information. I think it's interesting how my top 25-most-played looks like, and the play count list I have now, took me 2 years to get.
So my question is: Does anyone know how I can copy my iTunes library with all its information (play count, rating, comments, images, last played date etc.) to a new computer?
Thanks a lot!

Connect the external HDD to the iMac, launch iTunes while holding down the Option key. Choose the option to select library and navigate to the top level folder of the iTunes media on the external. Select it and click OK.

How can I copy my iTunes library to windows media player?

Hi, I've spent all morning trying to consolidate all my music into Windows Media Player...so I can make playlists, etc. iTunes seems to be pretty tough....I've moved the library file around....copied, etc. and I can't seen to paste it into Windows Media Player. My itunes library has about 50 purchased songs, and another 100 from my own CDs.
Does anyone know how to do this? I'm getting really irritable over this!!!
Thanks in advance!

The iTunes purchased songs will not transfer to Windows Media Player. Unless you have the iTunes Plus versions, iTunes purchased files are copy protected.
There is nothing preventing you from adding the other files to Windows Media Player except for maybe file format. Did you rip the CDs to AAC or MP3 format. Don't know if WMP can play AAC. WMP has no problems with MP3.
To add MP3 files to WMP just add them using WMP functions.

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
I sure would like to decide about that myself.
Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.

Can no longer see projects in library viewer in imovie '08 and need to find a different apple editing program

Can no longer see projects in library viewer in imovie ’08 and need to find a different apple editing program
I had approximately 15 projects that I can no longer see in imovie. I have read almost every thread on this community for imovie regarding error messages associated with looking for clips. In each case I have rebuilt the project. However, today I continually received a message to search for a .dv file. I have located the file and even changed the .dv file to .mov file and yet none of my projects will appear. I have rebooted, deleted the plist and nothing works.
I was planning on buying a new Mac in 2014 with new editing, and use my old Mac as a backup for imovie files. Very frustrated that I can’t work with any projects now! I se the files in my Movies/imovies/iprojects folder but they don’t appear in the viewer.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get back my projects into the viewer? Or, can someone recommend a basic program compatible with imovie 08 that I can use to import my exiting projects into?

No, Wasn't sure if I could continue to upgrade to 9.0.9 since my Mac is relatively old.
Just don't understand why I have to keep starting a project over and over again. As I type this, the imovie icon is jumping and asking for "clip 135-02-05-05;27:15" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly." I have located this clip and pointed imovie to the clip, and nothing happens. I even try to locate the corresponding clip in the event viewer but it is not there.
Today is the first time I have not been able to see my projects in the viewer.

I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

Exactly what did you do?
The correct steps are
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
My guess is that that you have not switched iphoto to use the external drive yet - opttion launch and select libary
