How can I open my project from the new account on my Mac?

After suffering Autosave problems, I contacted Apple and they recommended I create a new 'admin' account on the MacPro and try FCPX from there. I created a new event and worked on it for a couple of hours and all went well.
To take the trial further, I'd like to access my main event from the new account - but every time I try to open the relevant 'CurrentVersion.fcpevent' using finder, I get this message:
Final Cut Pro cannot save changes to projects or Events.
The disk where your projects or Events are located may be full or unavailable, projects or Events may have moved, or permissions may have changed.
I changed the file to 'Read and Write' in the original Mac account but when I looked at it with finder in the new account it was 'Read Only', so I changed it to 'Read and Write', then double-clicked it to open it.
Help!
Andy

Are you able to see it from within FCPX? You should be able to see it listed.
Another thing to try. First make sure FCPX is closed.
In your old account, change the top level names of the FCP folder to:
Final Cut Projects Old
Final Cut Events Old
In your new account, duplicate those folders (should be command-d) and rename the duplicated folders them to:
Final Cut Projects
Final Cut Events
Now, in your new account, open FCPX and see if you can access the project/event.

  • How can I secure my computer from the new virus?

    I apologize if this question has been asked already, but I was unable to find any useful information regarding how I can secure my computer. Also, are Snow Leopard Macs still at risk?

    The ‘Flashback Trojan’:
    A version of an existing Trojan Horse posing as a legitimate Flash Player installer (named “Flashback.A” by a security firm) is designed to disable updates to the default Mac OS X anti-malware protection system, potentially leaving the system open to the manual installation of other malware without any system warnings. The latest Macs do not have Plash Player included. In order to prevent a potential infection with “Flashback” Trojans, Mac users should always obtain their copy of Adobe Flash Player directly from Adobe’s official website and to disable the "Open 'safe' files after downloading" option in Apple's Safari browser to avoid automatically running files downloaded from the Internet. Also, do not turn on Java in Safari Preferences/Security. Few websites use Java. Javascript is something entirely different and should be left active.

    when i want to see a web based pdf file i have to save it before opening it instead of it just opening in a pdf window.

    You can't.
    Those PDFs are only accessible on the Mac.
    They can not even be accessed by iOS.

    How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
    The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

    If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
    You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
    Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
    There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
    You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
    See:

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
    You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

  • How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7?

    How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7? Do I have to use some other version between 2 and 7 to do this?

    I doubt you are going to be able to find all those previous versions and the time it would take to install, open the project, verify it, and everything in between (and without license keys, they would only be saved from trial versions which would be an issue), it seems it would be better just to start with Cp7 and put the effort into that.
    Completely off topic, one of the things I like about Authorware is that Macromedia provided previous versions that would allow you to open up and save the projects to get to version 7. It was a nice little touch they provided for developers. I don't believe that Adobe does this for Captivate though.

  • How can I open a project made in 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version?

    how can I open a project made in late 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version to finish editing it? files, timeline and unfinished edit are all stored on hard drive since early 2001, with all the original miniDV tapes still in hand

    Do you still have legacy FCP? If you not you need to find someone who will open the project in FCP6.0.6 or later. Export an XML file of the project. Use 7toX to convert it to an XML format that works with FCPX. Import the converted XML file to FCP.

  • I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    how can I download a video from the net? is there is any special download softwear than realplayer?

    There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.

  • How can I include merged projects in the printed documentation?

    I have a master project with several merged projects. This works splendid with online documentation, but when I am asked to provide a printed version, it seems I have to create separate documents for each merged project.
    Is there any setting or fix that enables print also of merged projects and topics when I create printed documentation?
    Pretty please with sugar on top :-)

    Hm - there is a contract with the customer, saying that he wants documentation both as word and pdf, and as we now aim at only writing online documentation, these tasks create extra work, as we are delivering updates each month
    But yes - two beasts, where only chm is actually needed we think.

    Hi there
    I'm a bit curious as to the reasoning behind your "persuation process for using chm-files only".
    CHM files and printed documentation are two entirely different beasts.

  • How can I open other projects?

    I want to open projects, which ı download in planetsourcecode.com in netbeans or in Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1.
    The problem is that open dialog of JSE or netbeans looks for a directory. And if I try to open the directory which I have downloaded, it doesnt open the project. I tried to do same with my project (made in netbeans) and there was a small sign bottom of the directory icon. And it opened project succesfully. How can I open other projects?

    Probably best to firstly copy the media folder - you could Option/drag it to the desktop. Then open a new project and go File/Import that desktop folder.
    Let us know if that works out for you.
