IMovie 10.0.8 does not open older iMovie .rcproject files

I have tried to "Update Projects and Events" and also tried to "Import Media", but remain unable to open projects in iMovie 10.0.8 with file extension .rcproject that were created with iMovie 9.0 and identified as "iMovie Project" files in the Finder. They are dimmed whenever I try to use iMovie 10.0.8 to open them.
In the process of trying to move back to iMovie 9.0, I can open iMovie 9.0 and while the projects appear on the list of Projects, they are not apparently incomplete and "Source clip is missing" message appears where the viewing screen should show the video. They will not play in 9.0, and therefore no editing is possible.
Did I read that once "converted" to iMovie 10.0.8 that files would no longer be recognizable by the older iMovie?
I have numerous projects created with iMovie 9 that seem to be somewhere in limbo:
Neither iMovie 9.0 nor 10.0.8 will open them.

Thank you GeeD. I'm still stymied.
I have moved the Event and Project Folders to the "top-layer of the drive" as the instructions state, right alongside the System Folder, Users Folder and Applications Folders.
When I open iMovie 10.0.8, the Events and Projects Folders are empty:
When I select File/Update Projects and Events, I get an alert box that says iMovie couldn't find any:
Not knowing exactly what is meant by the "top layer" in the instructions, I moved the Events and Project folders back inside the "Movies" folder where I found them (but then not where I would call the "top" layer, but rather "iMac/Users/Home/Movies/iMovieProjects". Then I tried to "Update Projects and Events" and received the same alert: "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update."
Then I tried to update iMovie 9.0 (iMovie '11 version 9.0 (1073)) to version 9.0.9 .
[As an aside, the nomenclature of iMovie drives me nuts. The latest version is 10.0.8, which us newer than iMovie '11.]
Back to the update of version 9.0 to 9.0.9.
Presumably because I have version 10.0.8 installed, I got this alert box:
So, I cannot update version 9.0
and I cannot "Update" the Events and Projects created in version 9.0.

  • IMovie '13: Import window does not open

    I can't get the Import Window to open. (Sure it worked the first time I tried)
    Anyone with same problem?
    Anyone with a possible solution?
    No matter if I press Import in the toolbar or use the menu (cmd I) the main window will dim, but the overlaying Import Window will not open.
    After that I can only quit the program. I can drag and drop movie files without problems.
    The only way the Import Window will open is to attach my camera. The Import Window will open automatically when iMovie sees the drive.
    I have tried to re-install iMovie and deleted preference files, but with no succes so far.

    I managed to locate the problem
    I have an Elgato EyeTV 610. It is an old DVB-C TV Tuner hooked up on Firewire.
    When I remove the EyeTV 610 from the Firewireport it works fine.
    As mentioned in my first posting I was able to have the import window pop up by attaching my camera.
    The workaround also works when pluggin in my iPhone (Import window pops up automatically)

  • ADE 2.0 does not open 'older' ACSM files

    I found many questions/help requests re opening ACSM files -- but none like this.
    I have a number of ACSM files that are several years old and I no longer have data re where/how they were obtained.  I recently lost the 'My Digital Editions' folder but did have the ACSM files backedup.
    I installed ADE 2.0 and it works fine with ebooks downloaded from Adobe.  However it will not open any of the ACSM files that I had saved.  Each gives the error:
    "Unable to download. Error getting license. License server. E_ADEPT_NO_TOKEN."
    Can anyone help me understand what the error means and/or how to corect the situation so I can retrieve my ebooks?

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Illustrator CC(2014) does not open or create new file in Window 8.1 Pro

    My illustrator can launch but once I tried to create a new file it would freeze and will not respond anymore.
    I also tried to open existing illustrator files it just create a blank white illustrator window and does not respond afterwards as well.
    I tried to reinstall the illustrator for times to fix to issue but it doesnt work.
    All the other applications (photoshop/indesign...) work perfectly, but obviously there is a bug in illustrator...
    Have any other people experienced similar issue and know how to fix it??

    Did you uninstall then used the Cleaner tool before reinstalling?
    Is a printer connected? Is the driver up to date? Printer turned on?
    Do you have any third party plugins installed?
    A graphic tablet?
    Any other hardware?
    Font management? Which one?
    Have you already tried setting up a new user account (Admin) and launching from that one?

  • Pages 5.2 does not open Pages 2.0 files

    Just started using Pages in the last several months. The version of pages I had/have is 2.02. I created several documents and saved them with this version. Yesterday I down loaded Pages 5.2. This version indicates that the files I just created last week are too old. From the support community I see that this is an issue between the Pages versions. Is there a workaround? I tried saving the 2.02 file in Word 05 (that was the default offered) onto the desktop and tried to open it with Pages 5.2 but that did not work. Any other thoughts? Also the older programs were in a folder called iWork. Any benifit to moving the new Pages and sister programs into this same folder?
    Thanks

    You can't just change the file extension.
    You have to Export the file to Word .doc.
    It has been a long time since iWork '05 so I can't remember exactly where the Export option is in Pages '05, probably under the Window or File menus. Maybe even in Save As… down the bottom.

  • Adobe reader does not open usage right enabled files in Ubntu 8.0.4

    I have a series of pdf files with the usage right enabled in adobe acrobat.
    When I try to open them in linux Ubuntu 8.0.4 the adobe windows flashes for a second and the disappears. I tried to run the command in a terminal but it doesn't give me any error or warning message. I am just wondering if any one else has been able to resolve this issue.

    Thanks Farshid for sending the file.
    We have tried using the file you sent on multiple linux distributions with Linux Reader 8.1.2 but we're not able to replicate the issue you're facing. We've tried on Ubuntu 8.04 as well and haven't seen any issues.
    Could you share more information, includign the version of the reader youre' trying to use (you can see that at Help > About Adobe Reader).
    Thanks,

  • Mplayer does not open in XMonad from file manager

    I am not able to open a video file in xmonad by double clicking on it in nautilus. Other video players such as vlc do open. Opening a video file with mplayer in pcmanfm works but not in thunar. All of the just mentioned methods do work in Gnome. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Nepherte wrote:In nautilus, it tries to open video files with mplayer %F which somehow doesn't work in xmonad.
    oh, my bad, didnt read it properly.
    make a custom command something like "terminal -e mplayer %F" or something, which should open up a terminal and do it, that way you can see error reports.

  • Photoshop CC does not open a RAW NEF file with Camera Raw 8.5. Also, my Help Update gives me an old version.

    I've tried updating the plug-in using PS Help CC but it updates with an old version. I downloaded 8.5 and did a manual install but Photoshop doesn't recognize it and the plug-in "cannot be found." I can see the plug-in on the HD drive where it was supposed to go. What am I missing here?

  • Restore Manager does not open bakcup.1.exe file

    I used f11 backup feature to backup my personal files prior to a system restore operation on Pavilion dv6636nr w/Vista.
    Backup created two files on USB drive (Backup.1.exe 2.4 MB and Backup2.FBW - 43 GB) after running for ~20 hrs. 
    System restore seems to have been accomplished with pr0per functionality.
    Per instructions on  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01673043&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3370282&tmp... copied MINWINPC folder (with files above) to local hard disk.  After double clicking on Backup.1.exe and answering question to allow the User Account window and waiting +1 hour nothing happens.
    Have repeatedly "cleaned" registry via several software packages and have tried changing files names to Backup.001.exe & Backup.002.fbw but same results. 
    Any ideas about how to access the files in bakup? 

    I have seen posters report that the file extraction/ transfer can take several to many hours to complete.Check for the folder  C:\System Recovery Files .Delete it before attempting the transfer again.

  • Lightroom does not open photoshop using  "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

    I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command. 
    Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them.  The
    “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
    Is there a way to fix this?  I use this feature frequently. 

    In reply to DdeGannes:
    What’s broken?  --  The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
    Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
    Was it working before?  Yes.
    What happens if you click? -  Nothing.
    Do you get an error message?  - No.

  • Canon GL2 with FW hooked up does not open import window in imovie

    I have my Canon GL2 hooked (set to vcr) up with FW to my Imac and Imovie does not open the usual window to allow import. It use to work, but now I am concerned the FW port is fried or something. Is there something obvious I am missing? Did I fry the port when I turned on the computer?

    You can check that your FW bus is ok by opening the System Profiler and verifying that it is seeing the FW bus. If it's not listing anything try shutting down and unpluging the computer. Leave it unpluged for 10 minutes or so and the plug in, reboot and try again.
    Other than that, you will get more info if you post this question to the iMovie forum, since that is what you are using.
