General Error on opening several projects - even on all of the autosaves!

I am trying to open a project I was working on last week and it gives a general error upon opening. I looked at some of the previous posts about this and tried resetting preferences, opening up autosave versions (which also give the general error), and repairing permissions. I can open many other projects perfectly. Then I found that another project I was working on last week is also giving the same general error and all of its autosave versions are also giving the error. Is the file corrupt, and if so, why all of the autosave versions too? Is there any way to fix this? (I have many work hours of time invested in each project and closing deadlines!)
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

I found a solution! What had happened was I moved my "Music" folder from one hard drive to another and created an alias on the original disk to reference to the new location. What I did was change the name of the aliased folder and now I am able to open the project and reconnect the media to reference the new location directly instead of through the alias. Hurray!

General Error When Opening A Project in FCE

I have read many threads on this.
My Config: FCE HD 3.51 / Intel Duo iMac
When I opened the project (both from FCE and double click), it would not open and I received a General Error. My projects are saved in a folder called FCE Projects in my documents folder on my iMacs hard drive.
I am able to open from my Auto Save - I moved this file to my desktop and renamed as the project copy - now I can open the project again.
HOWEVER - when I move this project off my desktop back into my FCE projects folder, I get the same General Error again. Other projects from the same folder open fine.
Any ideas?

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.

General error when opening FCP project file

Hi, I have searched on the forums and found similar questions, but no solution yet.
I created a project about a month ago (FCP 5.0.4) and now I need to make some additions but every time I open the file (or all of the 20 autosaved files) I get a general error message. I tried moving the media files to another folder, but I still get the general error message. I have the project file on my local drive and the scratch disk is a My Book drive (I forgot to reformat the drive so it is still Fat32). I have removed the preferences and ran disk first aid already.
All of my other projects I can open just fine.
Any suggestions? I need to add about 2 more minutes to the project which is already 18min. It took me a week to edit and I really don't want to re-edit everything.
I am using FCP 5.0.4 on a PB G4 1.5Ghz

I don't quite understand - did you move your project files to a FAT 32 formatted HD?
If so, they're probably cooked . . . (as in wrecked)
Check to see if they're .fcp and if not, try changing one to that, then try to open it.
Search this forum for something like FAT 32 or Mac OS Extended - you may glean more accurate info from that.

When I try to open my project, where can I find the requested file 00000.mts2?

When I try to open my project, I am asked where to find file 00000.mts2?
I see almost all scenes in my project in color red with the text 'media off-line'. But it is impossible to find this requested file 00000.mts2 on my computer. What can I do to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answer.

Thank you. I have done what you told me. It was a long search, but at the end I was succesful. Again: thank you for your useful answer.

By the way, if you moved your media files or they are on an external drive, you will have to relink them.

Receiving General Error when opening Project file in FCP 5.04

Hi to everyone.
I would need a little help. We have 4 Macs running (two G5 and two Laptops). All running with FCP Pro 5.04.
When I create a project on my G5 and open it with my laptop everything runs fine. When I make some edits/renders and save the project and try to open it again, I receive a General Error message.
But on the other two machines the file opens. I have used FCP rescue, trashed also manually the prefs, deleted on the G5 the Render files, made a PRAM zap, used Disk Utility, cleared the Wavecache etc. but no result. The Mediafiles are stored on a LACIE 500 GB. I do work this way since years and never had this before.
Does anybody have an idea ?Thanks in advance.

G5 2 Ghz Dual Core and G4 Laptop Mac OS X (10.4.8) 4.5 Gig Ram, LA CIE 500 G

Hi everyone,
at first thanks for the replies. I tried already the New User account. It's not working and also the Lacie is fine. The problem is more complicating, I guess.
Basically it's funny that the problem starts, when I have already worked in the project. When I set up the project (load picture and sound files all standard formats, Uncompressed picture and Aiff sound) and save the project, it opens simply, when I work in the project, edit, render etc (pluggins are on both machines identicall) and save (after deleting the render files), my machine is the only one who gives General Error.
Funny is that I used FCP since years in the same setup (Desktop-laptop) and never had this. I already trashed even the trash -:)
So I guess that this problem is a really special one, perfect for all Mac Sherlocks to solve -:)
So if anyone has an idea....
Cheers Zolee

----- GENERAL ERROR when opening PROJECT on different FCP ?? -----

Any reason why I'm getting 'general error (41)' when trying to open a client's rough cut of a project?
I'm running fcp 5.0 on a dual G5....
Had no trouble importing digitized source material and animations from their G-RAID drive, but when I tried to open their project and review a rough cut, I get the error message.
Is it that they have a more current version of fcp?
Anyone?
Thanks,
Mark

You need to be running the same or later version of FCP that your client's are running... that is the problem. You can get to 5.0.4 for free simply by running software update and downloading it. It's better software than what you're running now in any event.
If they are running FCP 5.1 or later you need to "crossgrade" to the current version of FCP. It's a bargain actually....

It's 2 years ahead of what you're running now... new features, and bug fixes all over the place.

VI Server Port Error on Opening a Project

I've started seeing an error when opening an existing project in LabVIEW 8.0. The dialog immediately pops up with this message:
"The specified VI server port is already in use. the VI server for this project cannot be started."
There doesn't seem to be any problems editing and running part of the code. What is causing this? This computer is only used for development. The entire project runs on another computer. This seems to have started after I installed LabVIEW 8.2 on this development machine. This current project will not be moved to 8.2 until later this year when the final "home" for the project is upgraded to 8.2.
Thanks for any information

Justin,
This is the only project on this development machine. No error was generated when I tried an empty (new) project. I went into the "My Computer" properties page of the offending project and unchecked the TCP/IP option. When I clicked "OK" the properties page gave this error (verbatum):
Error 0 occurred at There was a problem applying the options from the General category. The error message is "Invoke Node in prefPage_MyComputer.vi"
This was followed with a list of "Possible reason(s)", all of which were rather cryptic. However, when I reopened the properties page to see if the change "stuck", it was unselected as you suggested. The original VI Server error is no longer being reported when reopening the project. As an aside, this computer has LabVIEW RealTime installed. Early on in the development of this project we had a realtime system attached to this computer as part of the development process. Now the realtime system is installed in the test rig with another host computer, but we are still doing some of the development on this original computer. This may explain why VI Server TCP/IP was originally selected in the project.
Thanks!

"General Error" when moving older project to newer computer

I have a hobbie /"pet" project for my kids that I have been working on, mostly off, over the last couple of years. Have it up and operating on a 17" 10.4.7 system and wanted to move it to a 12" 10.4.7 for travelling ease. Everything for the project is on a portable 90G drive, and ran media manger just to be sure. But it all runs OK on the 17"-FC5 on both- when I boot the project on the 12" get the ubiquitouse "general error". Anybody have any idea where to start? Preference on the 12"? Just got a hold of FCP rescue5 but not quite sure what "backup" or "Trash" mean -but get a "settings are in place" message- SHOULD I TRASH AND RESTART THE PROJECT? THNX ALL
17" and 12" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

re: fcp rescue. backup takes your current preferences and backs them up. If your preferences get corrupted, you can restore them. But since it's the first time you're running fcp rescue, you need to just trash them. You will have to redo any customizing you have done. I guess you could do a backup then do a trash and if it doesn't fix the problem, you could do a restore. I usually just trash'em and redo em.
Post back if you can't solve the problem. This is just the first step. And post back if you solve it, so everyone will know how you fixed it.

Urgent help please: Error on opening MW project

Hi
I have a similar error message to the one in this thread
error loading project
One day I was using MW and all was fine, the next day it blows up when trying to open a project. We use CVS - is it possible that the NullPointerException would occur if a configuration file had been removed or altered outside of MW (although I have never done this)?
Where can I look to get more information on what MW is choking on?
Many thanks
James

Don
Thanks for your help. This occurs with 9.0.4.4
I have filed a TAR because this now urgent for us (holding up the development team).
I think that Karen Moore has looked at the problem in the related post and I hope that she gets the chance to look at this too.
