Help with a fcpx library that is locked "could not be opened. Read-only file system"

Hi all,
I recently moved all my fcpx projects/events to a new Harddrive - I thought I did this correctly by copying/duplicating all projects/events from within FCPX.
When I last used FCPX all the projects/events were there - no issues.  Also, when I look at package contents - everything is still there in terms of events and file sizes.  
All the library files are on an external hard drive, on an encrypted disk image.  Now a week later I have tried to open FCPX and I get the following error
"The document “MND_Z_FCPX” could not be opened. Read-only file system" and nothing will open.
Have checked permissions - these all seem in order.  OSX is10.9.5 
Any suggestions as to what might be the issue? 
Thanks in advance.

the permissions themselves look ok - they have my two computer profiles as read/write.   I also note that on some occasions the library has opened in my other Computer profile, but not in the one that I want it to open.
So I think you're right, there is something with permissions happening here.  I keep a work and personal computer profile.
Don't know how it happened - but the volume is definitely Read Only - even though I've created a Read/Write permissions for it

  • What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported".

    What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported". What does that mean? I am trying to drag libraries (with metadata) to external HD...wondering what the best way to do that is?

    Hi Shane.  Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
    How is the drive attached?
    Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
    Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
    Can you reformat the drive and try again?
    Hi Kirby,
    I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
    Thanks,

  • IPhoto9: "library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."

    Can please anyone help me with this issue.
    After upgrading from iPhoto8 to iPhoto9 my library won't open anymore. I have stored all my pictures on a NAS (Buffalo Link Station Duo). It all worked fine but since upgrading to iPhoto9 I do have the following problem:
    When opening iPhoto I receive a message that the library needs to be updated. I assume that iPhoto should just do this sort of automatically in order to upgrade to iPhoto9.However, next message I receive then is
    "The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."
    Apple support so far does not seem to be able to solve my issue. Anyone else having had the same issue and having a solution to this?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    There is no solution.
    IPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.While you have been lucky to date, many folks with a library on a NAS found that it worked for a while and then the problems started.
    Workaround: Put the Library on a Disk Image formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and store that on the NAS. But the real solution is to use a properly formatted disk for the Library.

  • IPhoto The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported.

    Have Yosemite installed on both my MBA and Mac Pro. iPhoto 9.0 running well on the MBA but when I tried opening iPhoto on my Mac pro get the message "The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported." This is after I upgraded iPhoto.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    While holding down the command & option keys boot into iPhoto and have it repair the Library.  If that does not work then download "Library Manager" and have that program work.  I found that better than the Apple program.

  • Trying to make a iPhoto Library on my external hard drive but I get "the library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported.

    Trying to make a iPhoto Library on my external hard drive but I get "the library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."  I reformatted my hard drive to ExFAT because I want to be able to use it on PC and MAC.
    iOS: 10.10.1
    Mac Book Air
    External: WD 500 GB recently reformatted (no files on it currently)

    The iPhoto library must only be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - it can not be on any other format drive

  • Aperture library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported.

    Does anybody know how to fix this? please help!

    See this page to format your drive:    Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture
    After your external drive is formatted correctly, drag the Aperture library to the drive.  Formatting will erase the drive. SO besure to backup any files to a different volume before you format your drive.

  • The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported.

    What to do now? Tried also to open the library directly from finder. This campe up. First tried to import library from aperture.

    We recommend to use "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" on an external drive where you are going to store your Aperture library. Copy the library to the internal disk and open it from there. Then, use Disk Utility to format the external disk > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Copy all the files on the external drive to the internal disk before formatting.
    Note that you will lose the ability to use the external disk with PCs, so you will need an application like Paragon HFS on all PCs you want to use the external disk

  • Cannot open Pages documents that I've worked on.  I open a new document, work on it, then save and close it.  When I try to open the document again, I get the following message: The document "[name]" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct form

    I cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved.  When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following
    message:
    "The document “[name of document]” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
    The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
    I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
    I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
    I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
    If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Best regards,
    New York Mac User

    A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
    1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
    1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
    2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
    Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
    Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
    If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
    If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

    1. Model compatibility
    - Ideapad can only support the current preloaded hardware and software configuration. Therefore, depending on a specific configuration, it might not be recommended to upgrade your computer. That is because some hardware issues cannot be resolved currently. 
    It is not recommended to upgrade the following models to Windows® 8.1 because some VGA related issues cannot be solved by the vendor, currently.

  • Read-only file system, locked

    I recently encountered the following issue. My internal HD, normally used for starting up etc. appears to be locked for read-only. Probably as a result of an unfinished Apple software update.
    I tried several ways but unfortunately no satisfying results so far. My macBook doesn't boot.
    Disk utlity / bash shell shows: locked for read-only (hfs, local, read-only).
    The command chmod (suggested in several threads) doesn't work.
    Any ideas/suggestions how to unlock?
    Thanks!
