HELP PLEASE! Major Problem with FCP Project

OK I am starting to panic. I was editing a wedding video for a client on this 150GB proMAX external hard drive. Everything as fine until this morning. Now when I go to open the project I always get a fatal error.
What happens is the project begins to load but then gets to one unrendered point on my timeline and it just hangs. I get that spinning ball of death and I'm not sure why. Then the program "quits unexpectedly." I have tried this several times and consistently get the same result.
I have tried opening this project on my MacBook and the same thing occurs. Can anyone PLEASE help me with this issue? I would appreciate any help

sounds like a corrupted clip.
disconnect the proMAX drive first, then open the project.
when the project has opened (with all media offline) then reconnect and mount the proMAX drive.
now you can start to reconnect the media ... but do it in parts, not all in one go. by a gradual process you should eventually discover which clip is causing the crash .... when you find out the corrupt clip, recapture from source.
good luck
Andy

Help please? problems with screen resolution & external monitor

had a look around this forum and seen many questions about screen resolution when connecting to an external monitor but unfortunately, non that help me answer my problem.
got a brand new macbook a few months ago and today bought a HP v220 22" external monitor.
I am new to the idea of external monitors and am unsure what i am doing wrong settings-wise. it seems that no matter what resolution i set either my macbook display, or the external monitor display to. the external monitor is still not sharp.
Im not sure how to explain what i need but basically i need it to be so that things appear on the external the same size as they do on my macbook screen, so that i will have more space to work in on my external monitor (i am a graphics student) but at the moment what appears on the monitor is lieterally just a magnified version of my macbook screen, hence it lacks clarity.
the highest resolution offered in the menu for my macbook screen is 1280x800 and my external is recommended to be set at 1680x1050.
what settings should i have to get the resolution right?
i will be so so grateful if you can help. i think ive tried every single display setting but to no avail. so please help me!

The 13.3" screen on the MacBook running at 1280 x 800 will have a ppi (pixels per inch) of around 113. A 22" monitor running 1680 x 1050 will have a ppi of around 90. So it is natural that it will look magnified compared with the MacBook. The two displays have different a pixel pitch.
Since there are no monitors with ~113 ppi out there in the market, what you want to do with having the same size and sharpness between the MB and a monitor will not be possible.
If you ran the MB's screen at 1024 x 640 (not even sure if that is an available choice), then the two screens would match in terms of "magnification." But the MB isn't going to look very sharp running such a low, non-native format.

Help please ~ sound problems with menus in iDVD

I launch iDVD from within iMovie. Then I start to personalise the menus.
But the menu screens although showing the chapters only give a loop duration of between 00:00 and 13:30 seconds.
Every time whenever I import QuickTime dv. files (made in iDVD 5 to avoid the dreaded rise in volume at the end) the sound in iDVD is grotesquely distorted.
Each of the QuickTime dv. movies last 10 seconds.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Please help!!

Thanks John Beatty of Maryland for responding. But I think I'll need to post my question again in hopes that someone else will recognise my difficulty.
I was hoping for a solution.
The distortion in audio occurs during the process of DESIGNING my DVD ~ I don't get as far as previewing.
It's only occurring in one screen (or menu). Although my QuickTime dv. file lasts only 10 seconds (in this case) and should therefore fit within a 13 and a half second limit, it shouldn't be offering me such a short time frame ~ normally it's quite a bit more ~ 51 seconds, is it? ~ and you move the slider back to the time you require for the dv. movie to loop.
But thanks anyway, John. Someone else might recognise my difficulty.

I am having major problems with my track pad on my macbook pro. Even though my settings haven't changed...my trackpad is no longer responding as it did before. The left hand corner no longer clicks when I press it and my personal commands which I set up in preferences no longer seem to be workin. Please help!

Some websites have an internal mute or volume setting. If that's not the issue, see below.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...

Has anyone had a problem with fcp x not playing back a project since installing 10.0.9 update?

Has anyone had a problem with fcp x not playing back a project since installing 10.0.9 update?

Not here; updated three systems without issues.
Can you provide more details on your system specs, the projects you're referring to, and what kind of behavior you're encountering?

The timesheet creation failed, because of problems with the project I server or with data validation

Hi,
One of my user is facing issue in creating new time sheet,
"The time sheet creation failed, because of problems with the project server or with data validations".
This issue is coming to only few members out of 10000 members.
Note: For the same user, can able to do in other machines. only the problem in his machine. Have ran the office diagnostics, but still the problem persists.
Is any add-on's/any settings need to update in IE. Could any one please help me on how to fix this issue?
Many thanks in advance.

I would check the compatibility settings in IE etc, or try another browser (chrome, safari etc.)

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

Major problems with Premiere CS4

Hello there!
I'm having major problems with CS4. I recently bought a new computer - essentials are as follows:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
2 x Kingston 3x2GB, DDR3 1333MHz (=12 GB RAM)
Ati Radeon HD 5770 v2
Asus P6T SE, LGA1366, X58, DDR3, ATX
2 x 500GB, Barracuda 7200.12 (RAID1), system disk
2 x 1TB Barracuda 7200.12, media disks
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Adobe CS4 Production Premium + latest updates
The problem I have has mostly to do with Premiere although I think the rest of Production Premium softwares should be running better on this computer as well.
For starters, I was highly disappointed when I couldn't view a single HD clip from the Premiere timeline (it was an .m2ts rip from a previously self-burned Bluray disc) at all. Rendering is very slow and even after that the video doesn't run normally, showing just a few individual frames per second. When I point the timeline at a certain spot, it takes many seconds until even that very frame is shown in the monitor window.
And this is not all - I decided to try with a basic DV AVI clip, previously captured with my PPro 1.5 on my earlier computer (3.2ghz Pentium from 2005). It's a native file so it doesn't even need rendering and still the same problem occurs. With normal playback only about 6-10 frames are shown per second. It's absolutely ridiculous - even my 2004 laptop runs DV AVIs more smoothly with PPro 1.5.
While I'm running the Premiere, the level of used RAM comes only up to around 24 percents. The processor, then again, comes close to a hundred when play is pressed on the timeline.
I haven't had such immense problems with other Production Premium softwares (though as I said, I think they should be running faster as well). Otherwise the computer is running smoothly.
A friend of mine pointed out that the graphics card I'm using isn't on the Adobe website's list of supported ones with Premiere, but afaik it shouldn't even be a graphics card problem with this high-end machinery.
So - I sure could use some help and ideas about how to get the Premiere working. My main intention for buying a new computer and Adobe CS4 Production Premium was to start HD editing after all! Thanks beforehand!

Hi
Yeah, I hope he solves problem and knows how it got solved and tells us all...it's like being a detective ! " Mr Plum did it in the "svchost" room ! "
I got a little lost on this....
You are welcome and I'm glad that it paid off so nicely for you. One more suggestion, if I may: I'm a big fan of a fixed pagefile size. When making a fresh install of Windows, one of my first actions is to set a fixed pagefile on a different disk (min=max) before installing anything else on that different disk and removing the pagefile on the C drive. This will ensure that the pagefile in on the fastest part of the drive and will never be fragmented.
I think it used to be that I made swapfiles, or swapdisks which now seems to be called pagefile. That in itself is a little confusing semantic wise, because of the use of mempage stuff. It used to be that base memory was 640k, with the upper memory (to make up 1024 kb) was mostly for drivers and stuff. If more memory was needed than 640k (an event the inventor never thought possible... "who could want more than the enormous amount of 640K ?", he said..)..the extended and expanded memory got invented to swap memory pages from that 640k as needed with the rest of RAM. That's basically correct right ? Sooooo, I don't know if that still goes on, but I suspect it does, unless someone totally changes the architecture of the computer and cpu and fsb and everything... but I don't know what is going on nowadays. Anyway, there were other ways besides windows OS to create virtual memory on the hard drive, and Photoshop was one of the programs that could do that, I think.
Why MS would want to call the swapdisk virtual memory "pagefile" is beyond me.
Anyway, be that as it may, I understand that making the pagefile first on a drive so it's close to the center of the drive (heads don't have to travel far to access). But I haven't added a lot of drives to a system before, and I suspect I will be pretty soon...and this is the part I don't get...
You add drives and put OS on them? So they are bootable ? I've added a drive or two but just formatted and used as more storage but didn't put OS on them. So that part is confusing...
Then you take the pagefile off the C: drive ? Are you then using the new drive as your boot drive and the C: drive is too full to use accept to run the programs already installed ?
Thanks again !

Major problems with CS5

We just moved to CS5 and are having major problems with crashing and losing text. I haven't seen these kind of issues since beginning the Indesign/Incopy workflow way back in CS2. I've got dozens of users (Indesign and Incopy) slamming me with complaints of crashing. Indesign crashes when exporting to Incopy (usually when exporting a layer), Incopy users are complaining of crashing when peforming copy/paste either from Word or from within Incopy. Also have had incidents where the text in the Incopy story just disappears or the stories corrupt and will not open in the layout or as a standalone file. Trying to open one will crash the application.
Other departments in our organization who do not use Incopy are not experiencing crashing issues with Indesign CS5, so I have to believe the problem is Incopy.

Try moving everything to a local harddrive and working on a file there. If you don't get the crashing then you can start checking the network. And please, one thread is enough.

10.9.3 = major problem with fast user switching

I've found a major problem with the 10.9.3 update with my 27" iMac, you probably won't see it if your on a laptop. I did all the updates in past few days i.e., 10.9.3 combo update, iTunes 11.2.1.
Afterward I noticed a bug when Fast User Switching i.e. FUS. I have 5 accounts but the bug can be replicated with only 2.
I login to userA have some windows open but you can just open a Finder window. Now make the window at least half the with of the screen and move it to the right side of the screen. Then login in to userB and setup the windows the same way as userA. Now FUS to userA and then back to userB. You will notice that the Finder window has been moved to the upper left corner of the screen. This problem happened's to all user accounts you login to except the first account you logged into.
Since I didn't know what update caused the problem I had to use Time Machine to revert to my last version of 10.9.2. I then double checked the for the bug and sure enough everything was working fine. I now was going to install one update at a time and to see which one was causing the bug. So I installed 10.9.3 first and found the bug immediately.
I now know what's happening. When the switch occurs the screen is resized to about the equivalent of a 13" MBP. At this point the windows that fall some ware outside that size get moved to the upper left corner and resized. Then the screen resizes to normal but it's too late, all the window have moved and been resized to fit the 13" screen size.
You can reproduce this effect by going to System Preferences and selecting Display and then select the Scaled radio button. No select the smallest size, say, 1280 x 720. Now select the Best for display radio button again. You will now see all the windows you have open that were too big no moved and resized to the upper left corner. I know why the Mac moves the windows, it's so you don't have any windows stuck off screen.
Now when I say 13" it could be some other size but it's about that size give or take.

Yes, it's when you user Fast User Switching.
Here's snapshot before the screen resized. Ignore the window in the lower right, I moved it from the upper left before taking the screen shot.
I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this bug.

The iPhone warranty is not international. If you bought it in the US you can only get service in the US. You will need to take it in to an Apple store in the US.
