Help. I can't open any of my project files,"Project file version not recognized". Whats going on?

After uninstalling and reinstalling Prelude CC none of my project files will open.
I get the notice "This version of the project file is not recognized!"
I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So after 3 hours of painful chat, Adobe Finally gave me the solution. They wouldn't answer my question without trying a bunch of things that I had said I already did, so hopefully this helps some people.
Somehow, updating was disabled, or suppressed, my the administrator (that's me). Adobe kind of forgot to give the administrator a way to then reenable that for users. You'd think that would be something the administrator would control from the admin console online, but no. You set it up once on install, then everyone is just stuck with whatever version they installed at the time. But good news! There's a file that suppresses that. You Might be able to simply delete it. I'm not sure.
But if you need to fix it, here it is. All 2 minutes that it will take you. Do NOT contact Adobe. Their help system is incredibly inefficient (but then again, aren't most?):
go here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0
see an adobeUpdateradminprefs.dat file? Open that in notepad (or notepad++ or equivelant if you like that better)
Change the 1 to a zero and save.
That's all. That Should have been a known item, and would take all of 10 seconds to check, but I had to uninstall and reinstall several things before we went to a folder. Because uninstalling reinstalling is easier? ha
Now in response to Ramesh:
1. the issue is moot because previous versions of prelude can not open future versions. That's all over the web. So just make sure you have the current version.
2. we are now both at the current version.
3. offline media? we hadn't figured that out. If she closes the file and opens it again it seems to go away. So that's an unknown. And it's working now, so I don't really care.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

Help! Can't open any files....

I don't know if it is a coincidence or not but I downloaded 10.4.4 a few days ago and ever since have not been able to open any files. Double-clicking on anything on the desktop is greeted with a resounding.....nothing. Opening e-mails is impossible. Playing more than one track on itunes is impossible. It feels like the Mini has had a stroke, with only Safari being accessible. I have tried running a hardware test with the CD, but that won't open either. Restarts achieve nothing. Any suggestions? Or am I going to have to take it for repair?

Have you tried repairing permissions ?
If not, then go to Applications > Utilities, launch Disk Utility, select your hard drive (Macintosh HD unless you renamed it or boot off an external FireWire HD) and click on Repair Disk Permissions.
And if it still doesn't work, you might want to download and run a small 3rd-party utility such as Yasu which will perform maintenance/troubleshooting tasks such as clearing logs, system and font caches etc.

Can't open any of my projects: Fehler beim Aktualisieren der Medien

Hi there, Im speechless.
I wanted to open one of my DVD-Studio projects and can't open any of them. The project loads and before the progress-bar reaches the end, it stalls at the point "Verknüpfungen aktualisieren" (sth. like "refreshing links"). After hitting "Cancel" and trying to open a new project, at the same point a bundle of windows appear, all saying sth. like that:
Fehler beim Aktualisieren der Medien
/Volumes/Video/Showreel/DVD-Studio Pro Dateien/Medien/Standardversion/Sequenz 1-MPEG 2; GOP 6.m2v“ verwendet nicht mehr das unterstützte Grafikformat. Aktualisieren Sie die Medien auf ein unterstütztes Format, bevor Sie sie in diesem Projekt verwenden.
Means sth. like: "The mentioned file doesn't have the supported graphic-format anymore. You have to take a supported format."
I don't know what to do. I did not change any file in the projects. The only thing I changed was to intsall the Pro-Aplication update. Is it possible to uninstall this?
VERY annoying. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply and your link. I did a clean uninstall and reinstalled DVDSP, but it's just the same. There are about 10-20 windows popping up (depending on the project I try to open), mentioning different files, which are not in the right format anymore.
I invested plenty of time in different showreels - I can't open one of them anymore.
I don't know what to do. ANY help?!
Best regards,
Frank

Safari can't open any website

Safari can't open any website and it shows a message about not connecting to the server. What should i do to fix it?

I could - rarely - find where a 3rd party product update may have some adverse side effect, but rare.
Maybe Safari 5.1 for Windows added and closed security but wasn't tested enough to see what effects it would have.
Consider, seems every day the same question is posed and asked.
There is a command to flush Windows DNS I saw....
I just tried to go to one thread and it vanished "Looking for something" and blank page now.
Safari 5.1 Cant open websites

Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some updates for my imac. Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box. The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

Hello all..   I hope someone here can help. I recently downloaded some updates to my imac. Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock. I've tried rebooting with no joy.
I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared. Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HELP! I attempted to erase free space and now I can't open any files!

Hi everyone! I hope you can help me with my problem.
Last night, I attempted to erase free space from my HD using disk utility. During the operation, the computer hung, so it wasn't able to complete 'creating temporary file' operation. So i had to stop the operation. And now, I can't open any files! Turns out my HD was full. But prior to my attempt to erase free space, I still had 25GB out of 55GB of free space. What happened? And how do I fix it? A lot of important files are in my HD and I don't want to lose any of it.
Hope somebody could help me. Thanks a lot!

Hi, Scary isn't it? I did the self same thing. Check your trash, you should see one or more disk images there. Empty the trash. All will be OK thereafter.
If they're not there, restart and either the system will sort itself out or they will appear in the trash, so empty it.
See here for my thread on the same subject.
Good luck,

Can't open any user manuals in FCS 2 from the help menu.

I just installed FCS 2 and I can't open any of the user manuals in any of FCS 2 apps. from the help menu. They are listed in the resources folder under the content folder so I know that they're there. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

Do I feel stupid. Just had an epiphany that it might be due to Adobe Reader and it was. Had to update to 9. Sorry for the post.

I can't open any apps I downloaded after connecting to the computer (itunes) for the first time! Help!

I connected my iphone 4s to my macpro for the first time to add some musci, I didn't touch the apps folder.
But after ejecting, I can't open any of the apps I downloaded. When I press on them, they just shake but nothing opens!

You shouldn't. Downloading the app re-authenticated the iTunes account on your phone. This happens to people from time to time (not sure why) but making you are logged into the Apple store in iTunes with your Apple ID prior to syncing might help.

I am trying to open a pdf file through documents to go on my Centro (verizon). I received a this message: An unexpected error occured! Error number: 0x7371803.
What does this mean?
I saw on another thread there is a palm pdf software that works. I went to the site; it said this program is not compatitable with Centro. Has anyone else found a workaround or another program?
Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
The error could be caused by the particular file you are trying to open, the way it was created, etc. Have you tried opening other .pdf documents?

Just updated to iOS. Can't open ANY OF MY IBOOKS. Some books now have titles in different languages. Help!

Hi cmccloud,
What is the error message you get? If it's telling you to upgrade Numbers but you already have updated, then that means you probably are trying to open the document with the old version, which is still on your Mac, in a sub folder within Applications named iWork '09. Open the document with the Numbers that is in your Applications folder (not the one in a subfolder). It's easy to confuse the two, because the icons are similar.
If you're getting some other error message, could you post specifics?
