Movie won't open in Quicktime and won't save in iTunes

I have just finished editing a project and I am trying to share it to iTunes or Quicktime.
When I share it to "Apple Devices 720", it was automatically saved to the Final Cut Project file folder under "Shared Items", and inside I found the Quicktime file for the project. But it won't open in Quicktime, I am getting an error message that says:
"The document XXXXX (1280 x 720).m4v-TEMP” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."
I tried to share it to iTunes, nothing works. I just want to be able to play it.
Ideally, I would like to be able to play the movie in iTunes on my iMac, and be able to sync it to iPod Touch.

Actually, I solved the problem. follow these instrudctions:
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
Remove the "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
Remove the "Final Cut Pro User Data" folder from the Preferences folder.
If you can't find com.apple.finalcutpro.plist delete any com.apple.finalcut..... files.

  • Firefox won't open any more and won't reinstall

    My Firefox browser suddenly won't open at all. I tried to reinstall but when I clicked the 'run' button, all information disappeared but nothing happened. I went to my 'downloads' to try again but the same thing happened. It will not reinstall. I have an HP Envy laptop with windows 8.

  • ITunes won't open without Quicktime

    Recently, I was in the process of upgrading iTunes. Something came up and I had to cancel the upgrade. Now, when I go to open iTunes, it says that I need a higher version of Quicktime, and to try re-installing iTunes. I know this is probably a stupid question, but if I reinstall iTunes, I won't lose all my music, will I?

    No, the iTunes program itself is in a completely different Windows folder than the actual music files.
    But you SHOULD back up your music files, ya know.
    Anyway. Do a QuickTime standalone install.
    Make sure to turn off your security software (norton or whatever) before saving the file to your hard drive.
    Then run QuickTimeSetup.exe from your hard drive.

  • Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

    Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

    You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
    If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
    I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
    You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
    On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
    Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
    The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two.  Ask Apple if you don't know how.

  • IPhoto won't open. Modified and created dates say 12/31/69

    iPhoto won't open. Modified and created dates say 12/31/69.  Help! OS is Tiger. Older G4 Powerbook.

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library.  Can you?  If you can then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto  8.1.2 and later  or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    My mail won't open or close and I can't shut down my Mac

    Same here.
    Can't be. This forum covers pre-2006 iMacs; MacBook Pros have a completely different architecture and therefore different issues. For Mail problems, the best place to post is in the forum for your OSX version from the list here:
    Mac OS & System Software
    BTW, my wife and I both use Apple mail and have not had any issues from about OSX 10.6 on. Admittedly, when Mail was introduced with OSX thirteen years ago, it had some real problems, but they seem to have been fixed.

  • My macbook pro won't connect to internet and won't shut off.  Any suggestions?

    My machine appears to be operating normally except that it won't connect to wifi and won't restart or shut down. 
    I've tried Command q'ing all running programs and still nothing.  
    Guidance would be much appreciated.

    You could also try a Safe Boot - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 - I would also make sure to get permissions repaired.
    There are a host of other means to try, but these are a good start.

  • .mov won't open in Quicktime

    Hello all. I have a strange issue with a .mov file. It is visable to me in the Finder preview window (i.e. I can press the play arrow and watch the movie and hear sound), but when I try to open it with Quicktime X, Quicktime 7, FInal Cut, etc. I get the message "Searching for movie data in file" and then "The movie file 'filename-av.mov1' cannot be found."  I was able to open it in VLC, but can't figure out a way to export it from there in a format QT will understand.
    My previous job-holder made the movie in Final Cut, so I know that I have the proper codecs installed (DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, Linear PCM). I've opened it before, with no problems.
    Any ideas of how to get it open and accessable? I need to open it to eventually convert it to h.264, so a solution that would do that is totally fine.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply. It is standalone, about 2.05 GB. I transferred only that file to another computer to test that, and had the same thing happen (plays in VLC and preview, not in QT).
    Am confused. You copied which file to another computer—the one you have or the one for which the QT player is looking? Yes, 2.05 GB does sound like a "standalone" file unless the reference is made to only a small segment of content or a single track of additional data. And, as far as VLC is concerned, did you actually play the entire file or simply open it in VLC? (I.e., VLC is a transport stream media player and will open unterminated files which QT will not open unless it can "see" the EOF.) As to QuickView, it is based on a different tecnology and doesn't even require the sourcing player codecs to be available for playback. Too bad the file won't open in QT so you could check the resources in the "Properties" window.
