Help! Updating FCP from 10.0.3 to 10.0.5-Project will not open.

So here is the deal:
I asked an intern to cut an small video for a friend. We loaded her computer up with FCP 10.0.3. She started the project on that. She upgraded to 10.0.5 over the course of the summer and completed the project. She never experience any issues opening her project files.
I copied her files over to my comuter running 10.0.3. They wouldn't not open and it told me to upgrade. I upgraded both FCP and my OS System. Now that I am running all of the latest updates, NONE of her project files will open on my FCP. What is going on???? She is leaving for College this morning and I am stuck wtih a bunch of useless files. Anyone know what the issue could be?
My OS is 10.7.4
FCP 10.0.5

Also, I will add, that I have not worked in FCP since version 7 and I have always hosted the files safely on my computer so there weren't any linking issues. Please let me know if I didn't copy all of the necessary files in order for it to open as well.
I copied her working folders over to my Desktop. And it looks like this:
Luckily she exported several versions of the video before she left.
When I click on the Project file I get this error:
Originally, when I was running 10.0.3, it informed me that I had to upgrade. Now, it's just not able to be opened.
Am I missing some kind of ghost file that I didn't copy over from her computer?
Thank you!!!!

Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3. They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4

Recordings from my Sony digital voice recorder transferred from WindowsXP to my new Mountain Lion iMac but will not open to hear. Is there a program to give me access to these important records?

All my material moved from my Windows XP to my new desktop Mac Mountain Lion, including the important recordings from my Sony digital IC voice Recorder , but they will not open in a form to be listened to. Is there a program available to give access to these audio files and allow continued use of this recorder ?

It is a proprietary Sony format, you will need help from them.

Photoshop's licensing information might have lost when you restored it to new HD. Re-install Photoshop CS4 and enter the same serial key for PS CS4 which you used before.
In case you need the download link for PS CS4, you can get it from here. Download CS4 products
Let me know in case you still get any issues.

Project will not open....help!

I have Premiere pro cs3....I have several projects I am editing all of which will open with no problem.One of my main projects that I have been working on for the last 3 months will not open! I closed it last night after working on it most of the day yesterday. Premiere shows the project loading bar all looks ok...then Premiere shuts down...no warning dialogue nothing....just back to the windows desktop.....I have tried opening previous versions from auto-save with the same results...tried deleting the media cache with no result....any ideas anyone? I really dont want to start the whole project from scratch
thanks for any help

Close your project. Rename the folder with your source clips so as to "hide" them from PPro. Open your project and select "offline all" when PPro asks where the clips are. Does your project load?

Updated Facebook via the Apps store. Icon is "grayed" and will not open. It also will not let me delete, to download again. Anyone have this problem?

Updated Facebook via the apps store. Now, icon is "grayed" & will not open, nor will it let me delete it, so I can re-download. Has anyone had this problem?

Do you have another disk or Mac connected that has Pages '09 from the Mac App Store installed? If so, the MAS will "see" it & will report it as installed. Unmount any & all drives, including Time Machine backups, that might have Pages '09 on them & then relaunch the MAS & see if you can download it.

I purchased an iBook on my iPad air and all software updates are done but the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

I Purchased a book in iBooks on my iPad air with all updates complete 8.0.2 and the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

Tapping the icloud arrow should get it to download to your bookshelf and it should then get 'downloaded' against it in Purchased instead of the arrow. See if any of the following fix it :
- close the iBooks app via the device's taskbar and then re-open the app and re-try downloading it : iOS: Force an app to close.
- soft-reset of the device : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
- log out and back into your account : select the Featured tab in the app, scroll to the bottom of it, tap on your id and log out, and then log back in

Projects will not open from external drive

I have been creating and saving my projects to an external drive for sometime now. When I tried to open it recently, it recognizes the Lacie but it will not recognize the projects. When you look on the Lacie it's self all of the files are there but when clicked on they still will not open.
Please help I don't know what to do...

Yes, I did select the external drive when I created the new projects and they were working up until yesterday.
.. and on 'top level' of drive, there's a 'iMovie-Projects' folder containing your project?
excluding some Voodoo: your project's name does NOT contain 'bad' characters as ; : / | \ . … ?

Help Please!!!!!!!! Illustrator file will not open.

My computer froze with my illustrator file open. I was able to re-start my computer with no problems. But when I went to open my .ai file -that I have been working on for weeks- it would not open and the tiny window reading "The file xxxxx.ai is in an unknown format and cannot be opened!"
Okay, I don't know what happened. I had saved the file way before the freeze happened. I really need to get into this file. I would hate to have to start from the beginning all over again. I have an older version of illustrator (11.0.0) in Adobe CS. There were no pictures placed onto the file. Its all a vector file. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this problem?

Jacob,
Thank you for the tip. I still could not open the illustrator file even after I changed the "Content Recovery" from 0 to 1. I was able to open the file in a text only format and found that all of the "pdf" information was gone, as was all of the rest of the information that was needed (I did compare it to a healthy file). Not sure why all of this was wiped out in the first place. I have had my computer freeze on me before with a file open, and when I rebooted my computer and started the app back up with the file I had been previously working on it would always open with no problems (with back up file on hand!). I guess I will just have to chalk it up to a lesson learned.
Thanks everyone for your help!

FCP 5 Project will not open In FCP5

I'm afraid I may have a corrupted project file which is the current project at work. It was created with FCP5 and as of today the program cannot open the file. The program tries to open the project, and the progress bar gets to about 21% then a box comes up reading "unable to Read file."
Are there other posts you could refer me too. The ones I have read on apple's site touch on projects from FCP3 not opening in 5. (I'm running 5.3) at the moment.

Have you tried this...?

Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4).
*System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

Project will not open for Editing from Project Library

Help! I'm a teacher who puts together a 5 minute news show each week. I was almost done last night when imovie crashed. I tried to get into the project library and can see my project with everything done but the titles and sound. I select it and hit the edit button and nothing happens. I double click and nothing happens. In the project file, the project has a turned down right corner. Save me ! This is due first thing in the morning and I still have all the tweaking to do to the sound and titles.
Thanks!

Open the file with Preview and do a Save As. Either change the format or keep the tiff. That should fix the files so they can be viewed normally in iPhoto. If the problem is due to an alpha channel in the file this will fix the problem.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.
