My iBook project will not open. It is saved as an .iba file.

I Am in the middle of making an iBook project but it will not open. It is saved as an .iba file. When I go to open it it says it can't be openEd is there anything I can do to open it?

Your post says you are using iMovie 08. In iMovie 08, a Project must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder of the startup drive. You can move it there in the Finder.
For Events, it sounds like the other Mac sees them. Hopefully, you moved them to the external drive from within iMovie. If so, once you move the project to the proper spot, all should be well.
If you upgrade to iMovie 09 or iMovie 11, you can have the Project files on the external drive as well.

HT4059 Some books shown on my ibooks library will not open. Error message states that they are incorrecrtly formatted.

I have a number of books on my ibooks that will not open. I get an error message that says that they are incorrectly formatted or in an unrecognized format. What is going on?

Beverly:
Try opening the problem library on the HD, if you still have it, by launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, navigate to the external HD and select it. If it opens then you might be able to get it recognized by iPB. If you don't have the one on the external try the one in the Documents folder.
Does iPhoto Buddy create its own plist file in each of the library folders? If so then maybe it the problem. Remove it from the problem library and try relinking it.
I used to use iPB but changed to iPLM (although I like iPB's interface better) as it was compatible with V6 before iPB was.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

AE Project will not open after program crashed

AE project will not open after program crashed. I tried opening the project inside another project so I could at least get to the sequences but it would not load. Nothing seems to open the project. I can create new projects. I am on PC

Well, bad news for you: It's a goner. Simply write it off and re-create it and next time learn how to work safely.

Premiere elements 13 new projects will not open.

Premiere Elements 13 new projects will not open.

thomasK
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
Has the program ever opened to the Expert workspace or the Quick workspace?
Some of the typical drill questions:
1. Does the problem exist with and with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Do you have any other security programs
on your computer?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator in a home computer in contrast to a school or company network?
3. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
5. What video card/graphics card does your computer use and is the driver version up to date according to the
web site of the manufacturer of the card?
How far do you get...Welcome Screen, Video Editor, New Project or elsewhere? Any error messages?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again

I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists." It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

cactisken
You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
What specific Window operating system are you using?
Let us go through the usual drill...
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Local Disk C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
computer as Premiere Elements 13?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

My Ibooks author will not open a file

I have an Ibooks author file that will not open. How can I open the file to edit it?

In that case, if the file isn't locked and/or owned by another user, and you don't see any errors when trying to access it, all I can imagine is that it is somehow broken/corrupted.
If you don't have a backup to try instead, you may want to contact Apple for iBA support and see if they can help....that, or walk your MB into the nearest Apple Store and see what they think.
Good luck in any case.

Premiere project will not open

The night before, I went to save my project in Premiere but was taking to long to finish saving. I went to be and when I woke up it had crashed while it was still saving and was no longer responding. I had to close off Premiere, but now it will not open. I think the project file is too big. While most other Premiere projects I have range from around 1-500 Mb, this file is 6.6 Gb. Is there something I can delete outside of the unopenable project that will reduce the size of this file? What can I do to get this project back up and running as soon as possible.
-I'm working off of a Mac with 8 Gb memory and a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor.

The Auto-save files also crash the same way the main project file crashes. I get a serious error message that I can't read fully because it disappears as soon as it pops up. Attempting to import the project with a new project also crashes Premiere and gives me the same serious error message.

Premier Pro Project: Created on one External Hard Drive, Transferred to Different External Hard Drive, Project Will Not Open

Here is my problem listed in simple steps:
I created a project in Premier a couple years ago on a G-Raid mini external hard drive.
I backed up my project folder on a LaCie external hard drive.
The G-Raid mini hard drive died.
I cannot open my project from the LaCie drive.
When I attempt to open my project, I get 2 error messages:
First: "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable. To open this project, the scratch disks will be set to your documents folder. Would you like to continue?"
I say "Yes"
Second: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I say "OK", and that's the end.
My understanding is that the problem has to do with the fact that my original scratch disks were created on the G-Raid mini hard drive, and that Premier will not open my project because the code for my .prproj file directs Premier to a hard drive that is not connected. I have tried to edit the code in TextEdit, replacing the name of the old hard drive with the new one where the code reads:
<project.settings.lastknowngoodprojectpath>
This did not work. I also tried changing the name of my new hard drive to match what the "lastknowngoodprojectpath" reads as in the code, but that did not work either. I have searched high and low on the internet for someone who approaches the types of error messages I receive from the perspective of trying to open the project from a different hard drive, but I cannot find anyone who is specifically giving advice about this. Any suggestions?

I doubt that the error concerning the sequence preview preset file or codec has anything to do with the scratch disc location.
Here are two posts specific to the second error message:

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?

Project will not open. blank screen after load

I have a pretty major issue, I just finished a rough cut of a feature film and I decided to change my hard drive drive letters so they were more organized. Now premiere pro 2014 (up to date version) will not open the project properly.
The file loads then it says looking for media then that goes away and it sits at a blank screen forever.

My IBooks app will not open

Hi, my iBooks app was updated August 23, 2013. I own a IPad 2 with 3G. The app asked to be updated so I did and it never returned. I went into settings and added more storage but it still isn't there. In IBooks setting I see it there but when I hit the open button it will Not open! I have purchased many books and I want access to them. I find this frustrating and I have never had a problem till now with updating my apps. HELP!!!

If you bought more iCloud storage then that gives you extra space in the cloud for your backups, it won't add storage on yoru iPad
Try a soft-reset and see if you can find/open iBooks after the iPad has restarted : 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My ibook application will not open

My ibook application will not remain open in order for me to open and access my ibooks.....any suggestions on how to fix this.

I already re-installed it and it worked, but the source of the problem is still there which is a folder of group of books that shuts down the application as soon as i open it, and then the application wont open again and doesn't even give me the time to open another folder or to do anything unless i re-install again.

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?

Particular mobile project will not open view mxml, run is blank

I use Flash Builder 4.6 with Air 3.6 updated adb for use with Android 4.2.2. When trying to use a develop a particular application, I encounter all manner of problems. The project contains only one mobile view, and the view will not open correctly in Flash Builder; I get an icon that the application is working, but it keeps spinning for at least 60 minutes. The project no longer runs; it just gives a blank screen.
I have all of this under revision control, and I have run the present code before, though I am not sure with what version of Air. I have tried deleting the files and reimporting them from revision control. I have deleted and reimported the project. I have killed and restarted Flash Builder and rebooted the machine.
I have submitted to get an upgrade of Flash Builder 4.7, but this is highly frustrating. I have no idea where these problems are coming from, and it's very disturbing that Flash Builder won't even open a view (which is just a text file) in the editor. Ideas?

I've upgraded to Flash Builder 4.7, and I can now work all of this out. Having a functioning editor has allowed me to find the other problems.

IBook G3 will not boot! Hangs at "Waiting for Apple Files"

My iBook g3 will not boot past the "Waiting for Apple Files", Blue screen. I have tried everything from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107210 to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214. I only have a Panther OSX 10.3 Update CD. Someone please help me!

Mark:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am not sure why you tried replacing the NetInfo database, or what effect that may have or have had on your startup. Here is where I would start:
Reset PRAM and Safe Boot
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
6. Release the keys.
7. Immediately hold down the "Shift" key until grey apple appears. This will make the computer start up in Safe Mode
8. Log in and empty Trash if needed.
9. Restart normally and log in.
Please post back with update or further questions.
Good luck.
