Help Need-All of a sudden can't import/open .OMF file without Logic quit

Hi all. Been a looong time since I posted but I'm back with a serious dilemma. I'm working on a short film with a deadline that's coming at me fast and furious. I just picked up an updated version of the .omf file and all of a sudden it won't load without logic quitting on me. What's going on? My Logic beahavior has seemed a little off but not noticibly disfunctional lately. do I need to toss my prefs? How do I do this if so? I'm always worried I'll delete something I can't recover...
I think that's about it. Let me know if I need to clarify the situation. This all worked fine a couple weeks ago. I'm using the powerbook 15" template video for NTSC. I'm clueless now and really need help. THANKS!

Nobody has any idea why this might be happening? Can anybody at least cue me in on how I should go about dumping my LP7 prefs and then replacing them or updating them again?
thanks!

  • Can't import/open HTML files in Fireworks CS4

    I'm trying to import/open HTML files into Fireworks CS4 to do some redesigning. I inherited the job of redoing my companies website and we believe the person who created our website created the site using Dreamweaver 8. Unfortunatley that person moved on to a new job across the country and we can't ask him exactly how he created our website.
    When I try to open some of the HTML files in FW I get the message: "Could not open the file....Fireworks could not find an HTML table in this file". Next I tried creating a new, very simple HTML page in Dreamweaver CS4 that contains just a few lines of text and 1graphic (we just bought the CS4 web suite). Again, I get the same error.
    Other files give me a slightly different error message when trying to open them in FW, "The HTML document contains one or more images with absolute web addresses for the source. Fireworks cannot handle these images. --click OK-- (next error message) Could not open the file. Fireworks has encountered a problem with the HTML in this table. Verify that the HTML is valid"... and then it closes and nothing loads into FW. Bummer.
    I've searched on these forums and can't find any solutions to this problem although I found a few people experiencing the same problem.
    Do I need to do something to the Dreamweaver created HTML's to get them to open in FW? Any help would be appreciated.

    Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
    If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
    If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
    If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.

  • Why can't I open garageband files in Logic

    Loaded Logic pro 9 last evening and whew that took a while.
    I started trying to open Garageband files in logic and
    it made the attempt but didn't get very far. The progress
    window open but there is no progress. Just the beach ball
    and finally force quit of Logic.
    Logic works on it own, and Garageband works on it's own
    just fine.
    Another question, Do I need to install the Jam Packs I used with
    Garageband into Logic. I also have a few third party loops,
    should I install those as well or will Logic see all those loops
    when I finally get logic to open my Garageband files?
    Of course many thanks in advance.

    I have Garageband 5.1 and yes Ilife 09 as well.
    As an Update, I checked off all the items that were
    unchecked in my second installation using the install
    disc. Then I restarted the computer.
    This allowed some success with opening some of the
    garageband projects in logic. However 3 of the projects
    still refuse to open in logic.
    These 3 files seem to have one thing in common. When I try
    to open them in logic they get as far as the progress
    bar but then they all stop at a point where the words
    " channel eq" or "noise gate" is displayed and then I
    get the beach ball followed by force quit.
    I suspect the problem may be associated with plugins.

  • I can't open a pdf file in a browser window. I have to save it before I can open it. Why can't I open the file without first having to save it?

    Anytime that I click on a pdf file in a browser window, the file will not open automatically. I am forced to save it on my computer first and then access the file. When I click on it after it is saved locally, it opens as it should.

    If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
    Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
    -Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
    delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
    -Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
    double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

  • All of a sudden illustrator cs5 wont open my file box, it just closes the program.

    The same thing happens when I try to save something.

    kanoby,
    You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Can't import FCPX xml file to Logic Pro

    I'm using the trial of Final Cut Pro X to give it a go.
    I export a test project as XML so I could try to import it into Logic Pro (latest version).  Export seems to work fine.  When I go to Logic to import the test.fcpxml file, it is grayed out and won't let me select it.
    Not sure if this is a FC problem, or if Apple needs to release an update for Logic to be compatible with FCPX.
    Any insight?
    MacBook Pro, Lion 10.7, 4GB Ram, Intel Core 2 Duo, Logic Studio

    This is a completely new form of XML. Very little works with it at this time.

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

    All of a sudden can't receive email on Mail client.  Sessions with service provider (att/yahoo) and Apple have yielded no results!  Recently upgraded to Lion, but have received email since.  Anyone having the same problem.  Apple says service provider problem, service provider say it's the mail client.  Anyone had this problem???

    No.  My frustration with the problem just led me to begin the process convert all my email to a gmail client.  However, after some time all my mail with att/yahoo has been coming through as before.  Go figure.  Still will convert to gmail.

  • Suddenly can't import photos from SDHC card after installing Snow Leopard

    After we installed Snow Leopard, we suddenly can't import any photos from our camera when we use an SDHC memory card. Regular SD cards work fine and importing from our SDHC card onto our MacBookPro w/o SnowLeopard works just fine. Anyone have any solutions for this? Tried my card reader, too, and get same problem. Hook up camera/card reader, iPhoto takes a long time to recognize it, and then I get blank photos. I click import and then get an error message about unreadable files. Only happens when using the SDHC card. We're using iPhoto '08 on both Macs.

    I vaguely remember other posts regarding the SDHC card. Have you searched for "SDHC" in the forum to see what other users report and they found a solution?

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • IPhoto 09: I suddenly can't import any more jpg-photos created by scanner with SilverFast Ai

    I suddenly can't import any more jpg-pictures created by scanner with SilverFast. iPhoto says 'unknown format'. What can I do?

    Since you can import into a library in the other user account there is something in your account that is the culprit. First  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Oost back with the results as there is one more text of your account that can be done if the above didn't help.

    I did not use my computer yesterday, and now all of a sudden, Firework does not open at all after clicking on its icon or starting as a program. I did not download any upgrades or anything else, and I have Norton 360 version 3. I can open Internet Explorer, but that's not my default browser, so I have no problem with the Internet connection.
    What could be the problem, how can I restore my browser without losing my bookmarks, settings, etc?

    If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.

    I'm creating an epk and I need to add a bio to the menu.  Can I import the text file or do I need to retype the bio somewhere?  What is the best way to proceed?

    Electronic Press Kit.
    Usually in the form of video outtakes, movie trailers, cast and crew interviews. Basically, the stuff that gets bunged onto commercial DVDs as extras or ends up on late night TV "Making Of..." shows.
    To answer the OP, you want a button on the menu that leads to a still image, or series of them, set up as a slide show. You can copy/paste the text in DVD Studio and then add formatting via the Text menu. (Highlight the text and right click to access formatting controls). Or do it in a graphics application using the appropriate video image preset.
