FCPX Quit Unexpectedly and upon restarting all my events and projects have been wiped, what can I do to get my current project back?

I'm using Final Cut Pro X on my Mac, it often quits unexpectedly but i just restart it and all my projects etc havn't been altered.
Now it did the same again when i was working on a project that was less than 2mins long and a small file and FCPX quit unexpectedly. I restarted it as usual to find not only had my current project been wiped but the events as well.
When trying to import the clips again to an event, i named it the same as the original and got "this event name is already in use" even though there are no events open. Also when i attempted to reopen my current project from Finder it stated "this project can't be opened".
I'm quite upset to have lost the video i'd spent hours working on and would really like to recover it, is there anything I can do?

That's really good news.
Now, I'm sure, you understand the importance of backing up your media, events and projects on at least one other hard drive.

  • After upgrade Photos quit  unexpectedly and I have to click on reopen again and again...

    Yesterday I upgraded to Photos, after that every time I try to open the application, it quit unexpectedly and I have to click on Reopen agin but after several time, nothing happen. How can I fix it? or Can I

    What is the error message, when Photos quits? There is probably a panel with a "report" button. Press this button and copy and paste the first 50 lines of the error log into your next post.
    Also, try to launch Photos with a new , empty library.  Hold down the alt/options key, when you launch Photos and select to create a different library.

  • I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
    All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way.

  • I turned my Ipad off and when I tried to turn it back on, only the apple displays and it will not go past that.  What can I do to get it to come back on?  It won't acknowledge it when I plug it in either.

  • My ipod won't sync and it keeps coming up with an error message saying "internal error" or it tries to get me to restore from a backup. All of my music and movies have been wiped from my ipod and the apps don't work. The backups don't work either. help.

    I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to sync it and it came up with an error message saying that it encoutered an internal error and it refused to sync.
    I then unplugged it and plugged it back in and this time it told me that I needed to restore from a backup or set it up as a new ipod. I tried to restore from a backup but it came up with the error message "Backup session failed" every time. I then looked on my ipod and all of my music and movies are gone though it still says that they are on the ipod in itunes. I decided to use the restore function and let that finish. After restoring it still doesn't allow me to sync or back up and The music and movies can still not be seen. I am currently attempting to copy the music and movies to my ipod though this did not work with my apps as they transfered but when I attempted to open them they just crash... If someone could please help me it would be great. It is driving me crazy.

    If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

  • Yosemite has totally wasted my iPhoto library.  It took me ages to retrieve from my external hard drive but now all the events seem to have been corrupted.  Not loading thumbnails either.

    I have a late 2013 27" iMac and I recently upgraded top Yosemite.  Mostly I had no issues apart from iPhoto where I couldn't retrieve my iPhoto files.  I finally managed to do it but all of my event names look corrupt (certainly not how I saved them and it keeps falling over.  What can I do to return it to how it was in Mavericks?

    What format is the external drive?

  • HT201177 Why does my iMac display keep shutting off. The rest of the computer keeps running and I have to unplug it for a while to get it to come back up.

    My 27" iMac's display goes to sleep after a few min, and you can still hear it running in the back ground. I can't hold the button on the back to shut it off. I have to unplug it for a while to get it to restart.

    Well, at less than one year old it is under warranty (and hopefully you have Apple care too).
    You should take it to your Apple Store and have it examined within the guarantee period.
    The problem, may not be that serious, but that is what a warranty is for.   It is also why you should take out the insurance of Apple Care.

  • After installing V.10, mmonitor settings were changed and I can't change them back. What can I do to get the higher settings back?

    I use an external monitor (Acer) with my netbook (Asus). This morning before FireFox upgraded to V.10 my monitor settings gave me small typefaces on the monitor, I don't remember what the machine type was in the Windows control panel for display. Now after I restarted the machine, the Control Panel setting for the monitor is showing only the Mobile setting and the display if huge and I can't change the monitor settings. I'm feeling very mad right now. After the V.10 upgrade, Mozilla also said some software wasn't working or compatible with V.10, but I didn't note what they were. I just want to be able to get my older settings back and not have the huge icons, typeface, etc.

    Note: based on another thread, you might also need to remove a user.js file which Firefox reads at startup and uses to override the settings change you make in about:config or in the dialogs.
    This article describes how to track that down: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

  • Ok I just bought this phone off a friend and when I try to make a iCloud account it says the number of free iCloud account have been takin what can I do

    Ok i just bought a iPhone 4 off a friend and when I try to make a iCloud account it says the number of iCloud account have been takin and want let me make one what should I do

    You can't do anything, except use a different device (or a Mac) to setup iCloud and then transfer the details to the phone you bought.
    Clearly your friend setup multiple iCloud accounts for some reason (you only need one) using up all the allocation for that device, and didn't tell you before selling you the phone.

    Thanks for any help

    As has already been pointed out, you've got a lot of junk installed. The biggest problem is likely to be the Intego software, which is far too heavy-handed and is known to devour system resources and cause instability. You definitely need to remove it. Clinging to it simply because you pay for it is simply not logical if it is causing you problems. For less intrusive means of protecting yourself against malware, see my Mac Malware Guide.
    You also need to clean out your login items list, which is extensive, and should uninstall any apps you're not using. (I see you have Turbo Tax 2011, for example... since it is now the 2013 tax season, you can probably uninstall the 2011 version at this point.) When uninstalling an app, be sure to use the uninstaller provided by the developer of that app. Do not simply drag it to the trash (unless it was purchased from the App Store), and do not use any general-purpose uninstallers like AppZapper or AppCleaner.
    I'd also point out one other thing:
    Top Processes by CPU:
                 100%          com.apple.ShareKitHelper
    Top Processes by Memory:
              1.48 GB          com.apple.ShareKitHelper
    Note the problems that ShareKitHelper is causing. This is a part of the system, but I don't really know what it's for or why it is misbehaving.

  • My trackpad is sounding really weird and i have warranty! what can i do? PLEASE HELP

    i dont know this normal or not this an 2 week old white macbook and the trackpad is sound weird and it depends on what surface you put it!

    I had a similar problem and just found a fix for it.
    My problem was that on one spot, the clicking seemed muffled, as if something was stuck underneath the trackpad, and near that spot, one time out of two, the click was twice as loud as normal, like it was "unsticking" something.
    Anyways, I read that you could apply a good amount of pressure (as in push hard) on the whole trackpad (I used 6 fingers) for 2-3 seconds to fix this. It worked for me. I also read about gently hitting it with your fist... don't know if it works, but I didn't quite want to hit my MBP with my fist...
