Generic Error on all reports

I am a salesforce.com veteran user who is trying to get Dynamics CRM up and running for a small business. This software was purchased several years ago and never implemented because no one could figure out how to do it. I wanted
to run a very simple report to see which accounts have an account number tied to them and which do not. I can get through the report wizard but at the very end, I get a generic error message that says "Error Uploading Report". An error occurred while
trying to add the report to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Try again, if the problem continues check the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Community" I am the administrator so this is not a permission issue. All the forums talk about needing to do stuff with SQL and code.
I don't do code. I am a salesperson trying to get some very basic information out of this system. Is it even possible for a non-programmer to create and run a report in Dynamics? I find most everything ridiculously complicated. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated. Remember, you are dealing with a salesperson, not a programmer. Thanks again!

Hello,
I'm not pretty sure why do you need Report for such kind of task - Advanced Find would be enough. Regarding issues with reports I would suggest to
turn-on trace, restart IIS and then repeat creation of a report - once error occurred recheck traces for explanation why error occurred.

Infrequent and generic error on cfinclude

I'm experiencing an intractible and difficult-to-explain
problem with a framework-level coding structure.
My index.cfm ends with a <cfinclude> tag that brings in
the page template. It works just fine - *most* of the time. Every
now and then that line of code throws a very generic error that
only reports the line number.
The code reads: <cfinclude
template="#PageInfo.Page.PageTemplate#">
I assure you that the variable contains an absolutely valid
template value. I have proven this over and over.
Instead of attempting to explain the truly arcane and
numerous factors that I've discovered, let me ask a simple
question: Does anyone know why <cfinclude> would throw a
generic error when the template most certainly exists? How can I
address this?

Dan -
I catpured an error at 10:30 last night. The "type" is
java.util.EmptyStackException.
Although the on-screen errormsg showed one error at line 87,
the cfcatch dump shows TWO elements under TagContext. Both are
CFINCLUDES, as shown below.
Is this meaningful to you?

"Importer reported a generic error" message while importing ProRes 422 clip

Hi all. I am getting an "Importer reported a generic error" message when I try to import a ProRes 422, linear PCM clip into Premiere Pro CS6. I have imported other ProRes 422 clips in previous projects without a problem, although those clips did not have the linear PCM codec included. I have tried to solve the problem using advice on other forum threads. Changing the file name did not work. Removing underscores in the file name did not work either. Copying the file and pasting to a different folder before re-importing did not work either. The file DOES open in AE, but I am getting the error message without fail when I try to import into Premiere. Any thoughts on how to remedy the situation? FYI - I am still running version 6.0.0 of Premiere. Thanks for your help!

Try going to Help | Deactivate in Pr. Close Pr. Reboot. Launch Pr and activate if requested. That procedure has helped some users restore missing codecs and presets, maybe it'll help your Dynamic Link.

ERROR: The Importer Reported Generic Error

I just purchased PE 10 about 2 weeks ago after trial version which I installed on separate machine and utilized for Photoshop. I purchased it, because of Adobe's trusted reputation. I installed purchased copy in high end machine containing Corsair 120 Force GT SSD Sata 3 root drive with 2 additional internal 500 gb each storage drives. One WD & Seagate Barracuda at 7200 rpm.
Photoshop portion works without any glitches. PE10 reports said error message upon attempts at 95 percent of my .vob, .TS & .wmv files, which should be compatible as stated by Adobe. I am able to open same files on Windows Movie Maker and WMP.
I contacted Adobe support and was disconnected during troubleshooting by Adobe rep. Second attempt lead me to a rep who did not really have any answers or resolve. His explanation was to keep looking for files which would open only on the root drive as network drives, logical drives and external drives are not supported by Adobe. I complied and copied files to C: Drive at his request to no avail. Problem persists.
Basically, you need an enormous: Drive to accommodate the huge amount of space videos & photos normally capacitate. In my case, over 469 gigs.
Maybe it's me, but you would think Adobe would consider the fact no one in their right mind would relegate pertinent data to root drive as it is where the OS resides, thus is susceptible to crashes and data loss. Yes, OS should be partitioned separately from data, but anyone who really knows hardware, ie: hard drives, would be fully aware the entire drive can become unstable and usuable due to OS crashes.
Questions:
Why has Adobe not taken a closer look at what appears to be a proprietary issue as opposed to informing its customers that their files are corrupt?
Why does Adobe not offer fixes\resolves to importing (Get Media) issues such as addins, plugins, hotfixes, possible Codecs and\or conversion software when this is in fact their responsibility when advertising claims of compatibility with said files?
Why does Adobe not support importation of files residing in NAS External Drives and internal logical drives, as this is the direction of the end user home industry?
Has anyone in these forums actually been able to resolve ERROR Message: "The Importer Reported Generic Error"?
Please feel free to answer and\or comment on my statements\questions as I am simply a customer looking for resolve and would be more than willing to retract what I have mentioned here for some real support from Adobe.

I have never had any problem, when Importing files from my NAS, but found early on, that it was too slow a process to use and edit effectively. Same for other mapped networked drives. After those initial tests, I just altered my workflow. I still use my NAS to archive my Assets, but will Copy those to my "media drive" (my D:\ on my system). My Project files are on my E:\ drive, and only my OS and programs are on C:\. Note: those are all physical HDD's, and NOT partitions. That layout works 100% for me. In my case, it was not a inability to use the NAS, or mapped networked drives (for Assets ONLY), but the speed of the gigabit (dual in my case) network being too slow for me to edit comfortably.
Premiere (both PrPro and PrE) work best with at least two physical HDD's, and even better with three.
Where Premiere has issues with networked drives will usually be where one has mapped My Documents to a networked drive, or where the user has located the working files (Scratch Disks) to a networked HDD. That situation can create issues.
I have never encountered any "Importer" error messages, and really do not recall seeing others with that issue, so cannot help there.
Good luck, and wish that I had more to offer.

Premiere reporting a generic error at AE clip replace

Hi guys
I am currently work a project with a lot of greenscreen work.
I do all my keying in AE with keylight and mattes.
The editing is done in premiere with my "raw" footage from Sony NEX VG20 cameras as a kind of proxy footage (MTS files).
When the edit and keying is done, I right click the footage in the project field, and select replace footage. I now select the AE file containing the keying settings.
This is where the problem occurs. normally a get a dialogue box asking what comp i want to use, but now I just get the "The importer reported a generic error" error message.
What can I do, it was working before, and now suddenly it won’t work at all, not even in a new Premiere file importing a AE with just a comp.
Any ideas?

Hi Jim
Thanks for the answer.
If I replace the clips in the sequence/timeline with "Replace clip with..." it starts from frame 0 in every clip, and ignores my editing.
Can I replace a clip in the bin with another "clip/comp" from the same project/bin.?
The "Replace clip with..." is grayed out, and if I select "replace clip" I need to select a file?

Premier Pro Error "The importer reported a generic error"

Good Afternoon, Im having an issue with my Mac and adobe premier's dynamic link towards after effects. Every time I try to copy a sequence in and replace it into Adobe After effects composition from Premier I get this generated error, "Replace With After Effects Composition, The importer reported a generic error". I have tried various ways to trouble shoot this, from re-installing to deleting caches and It still doesn't seem to work.
I do have all updated versions of Adobe Premier and After Effects.
Pringle

Hi, PringleTheOne, Your problem is that your project after effects (CC or CS) has not been converted to CC 2014 size.
When a AE project is opened in AEffects CC 2014, he asks us to automatically convert.
Then, when you open it in Premiere Pro CC 2014 , there is no error message.
I hope this help.
Thanks

PremierePro PC 8.2.0 (65) replace footage causes error "The importer reported a generic error"

Hi there
I tried everything multiple PC's and windows installs, goggled every support site available for answers to no avail so far.
The following is tested on a brand new and untampered win8 install (all win8 updates included)
Trail and fully updated versions of Premier Pro 8.2.0 (65) and AE 13.2.0.49 are the only two programs installed on to the PC.
The problem.
Create a new project in Premiere Pro
I make a single sequence
Add a single Black video item to the sequence
Now pick the black video item in the Premiere project Bin area, right click it and choose "Replace footage"
Then the browser opens and I pick a After effect project file (.aep) that I prepared earlier.(the most simple AE project file I can make, consisting of a single Comp with a shape drawing in it)
When I click the Select button to confirm my choice of .aep file a window immediately opens that says "The importer reported a generic error".
Next I am back in the PP bin and the black video item has turned "off line".
This option / featured executed in the 100% similar way works as expected without errors in an old CC6 setup.
Please help as the this is an very useful feature that needs to be fixed/work.
Thank you
============================================
Duplicate post removed by moderator. Please do not double post. If a thread has not received a reply after a reasonable period, feel free to "bump" it.

No key frames what so ever.
The AE project I refer to, only involves a standard hdtv 720p comp with a text element or a simple shape drawn. (Actually I am pretty certain that an empty comp will yield the same result)
The problem is consistent no matter if it's the most simple AE project I can possible make or a complexed project with many comps in it.
Personally, I am pretty sure the potential bug is isolated in PP and has nothing to do with AE. The reason why I believe so, is that when I try to pick large AE project the error message pops up much quicker than the time it takes to loads and analyze the AE .aep file.
Please before you go, can you tell me wether or not you get the same result when doing a simple test as I described in a somewhat similar set up.
And please pass the information on to the developer team. (I have already written a bug report) but I am desperate for a quick fix to this issue, so any help bringing their attention to the problem is much appreciated.
Thank you and enjoy the holidays

Production Premium CS6 syncing problem with premiere to after effects. "The importer reported a generic error."

I have CS6 Production Premium suite. I've had it and it works fine on my laptop for a couple years and just bought a new apple desktop and now when I have a project in premiere, it won't allow me to send it to After Effects. I keep getting a "The importer reported a generic error." Really need to get this problem resolved as the laptop is not as fast as it used to be, and I'm working on a short film haha.
Thank you for your time and help.
All the best,
Brandon

The importer reported generic error.

After installing the update of Premiere CC (2014.1) yesterday on both my MacPro and my MacBook Pro (both OSX 10.9.5), suddenly Premiere on the Mac doesn;t recognize any .mov files anymore. It does on the MacBook Pro though, but it is no fun at all to edit with a laptop. Until the update, it did work fine. I can't go back since I've already edited the project with the MacBook Pro...
The message "The importer reported generic error." doesn't help very much since I can't think of any clue how to resolve this issue.
Please, anyone having the same problem and knowledge how to resolve this?
Thanks for your response.

Solution:
DON't use the underscore sign. PremierePro CC 2014 8.1 somehow doesn't recognize the map where files are located in. E.g.: B-roll 20140828_mov, rename as B-roll 20140828-mov, relink your files and they pop up again.
I can't explain why this solution is needed on the MacPro (okay, 2009, but running OSX 10.9.5) and not on the brand new MacBookPro with the same OS installed.
Anyway, I hope I've helped some hard working colleagues out in the field.
Have a great day!

Trying to send files to After Effects, keep getting "Importer is reporting a generic error" message?

I googled around for a solution to this but haven't been able to find anything. Basically exactly what I said in the title is what happens: none of my Premiere projects will let me send anything to After Effects, it just keeps setting off a little box that says "Importer is reporting a generic error" anytime I try. This is frustrating, obviously, as the entire purpose of having all these programs together is to send them back and forth and have everything work in harmony.
I'm on a Mac, and running CS6 across all aspects of the softwares, I have the Creative Suite, so all of them are the same version of the software.

Hi DangerusZack,
Can you try what is suggested in this post? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1050730?tstart=0

Putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) getting error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help thanks

premier elements12, putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help.

TINA54
Thanks for the reply.
Some general comments...
Regarding:
THERE ANY WAY I CAN PUT MULTIPLE RANDUM TRANSITIONS IN TO THE TIME LINE WITH JUST ONE CLICK ? .
There is no transition choice for random transitions across the Premiere Elements 12 workspace Timeline. But, the Elements Organizer 12/Create Menu/Slideshow and its Slideshow Editor does have that random transition choice. So, one possibilitity would be to create your slideshow in Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor and then move the slideshow into Premiere Elements with the Output of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command.
Pending more details of the slideshow you are creating, I think that you would get your best photo quality and overall results staying with Premiere Elements 12 workspace (1080p) project and the transitions randomized manually.
perhaps applying the default to all (all at the same time),
using Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition,
and then replacing transitions randomly for the random transition look).
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thanks.

Media offline, importer reports generic error

I've been working on a project for a while with CS5.5. The project file and all media files are on an external harddisk. Nothing has been renamed, changed or removed. Tried opening the project today, after appr. 3 weeks without working on it. The dialog box "Where is file...?" appeared. I found the file it was asking for and hit the select button. A warning popped up saying "The importer reports a generic error" (or something similar). I hit the cancel button and when the project opened I could see that most files where offline. Even though a few where online. I tried to select one of the offline files and use the link media option. But again the warning about generic error appeared. I've closed the Project now being careful NOT to save anything. What can I do to solve this? I appreciate your help!

Welcome to the forum.
When working with external HDD's, the biggest problem is maintaining the drive letter (Windows), or voume name (Mac). One must set those to a perminent drive letter, or volume. This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4542396#4542396
The "Where is file ____ ?" is telling you that the absolute Path to the files has been broken. The previous article addresses one of the prime reasons for that: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705
Those are for background, and Jim has addressed getting your Project back up and running.
Good luck,

Premiere Pro CC reports "The importer reported a generic error" on import of any files

Ever since the 30 day trial period of CC ran out I have had huge problems. Premiere Pro will not import any files other than m4v files (from iTunes of all things), reporting a generic error.
I run on Mac.
I have already reinstalled everything. Twice.
This problem has now affected Premiere Pro 6 on my Macbook, which ran just fine until I downloaded CC (against my wishes, by the way - I wanted 6 back on my Pro but no option avaialable.
Does anyone have any ideas. Way beyond frustrating, especially as 'live help' are completely hopeless.
Thanks.

>wanted 6 back on my Pro but no option avaialable
Are you saying you lost your install discs?
Or that you purchased by downloading and no longer have the download files?
If you purchased by download, you may go to your account on the Adobe store and download again
