  • FCE project files won't open. General error message.

    All of a sudden nearly all my project files refuse to open. Even when I try to open previous backups the same thing happens. General error! These files have been ok for at least the last 2 years. What could have caused this and can I get these years of work back? Please help.

    Used FCS Remover and re-installed but still get same result. Except that on first attempt to start FCE, after error message appeared, FCE carried on briefly showing 'Profiling for RT Extreme…' and a percentage. When it reached 100% it stopped immediately. Tried the whole process more than once. The first time an app called File Defense (in demo mode) showed an attempt to write to a .rsrc file when AU Pitch was reached. Have removed File Defense. Also logging in with shift key down to prevent any login items from loading. Logic Express 8 is installed and uses AU files but I don't know how to uninstall it.

  • Project file won't open

    Hi - I am trying to open a project file on my machine done on my friends' computer in Premiere but it says file won't open as it is from a newer version of Adobe Premiere Pro.
    I only downloaded Premiere recently and am on the monthly subscription to the cloud so was assuming I would have latest. I can't see how to update it. any clues?
    I am operating on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Please open your Creative Cloud desktop app and check there must be updates for latest version.
    Please update and try to open the project.
    thank you,

  • Project file won't open.  I just get the spinning loading symbol but it never opens.

    I am working on a school project video.  The app was working great for about a week.  Now when i click on the play button of my project file, i get the spinning loading symbol and the video never play or opens.  If I right click on the project file in the left side column, sometimes it will play, but i cannot open it to work on it.  I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app.  Didn't help.  Thanks.

    Probably corrupted project file. Do you have a saved or auto-saved version of the project on disc somewhere?

  • Help needed ASAP -- Project file won't open

    Stuck in Africa right now (can't call telephone support).
    I am volunteering on a medical/dental trip and am in charge of the final nights video.
    Here is the problem.
    I am almost done with the video (15 minutes long -- full HD) and suddenly the when I click on the project from the project library it won't open.
    all the other projects open fine. Just this one project won't.
    when I click on it, the project library slides to the side, but behind it is another project library, but when I mouse over it plays the movie, but it is un-editable in this state.
    It was working great until this dreadful moment....
    I saw another post about deleting the thumbnails for an EVENT that was having problems. Can this be done with a PROJECT file?
    The big movie presentation/trip is in 12 hours....
    Can anyone help me???

    One time, after quitting IM and re-launching it later, my project disappeared from the project list.
    Apple Support told me to do this.
    1) quit IM
    2) with the finder, move the project out of the project directory
    3) launch IM
    4) quit IM
    5) with the finder, put the project back into the project directory
    6) launch IM
    My project re-appeared. He said these steps forces a project index to be rebuilt.
    Your symptoms are different but maybe the cure is the same --- good luck.

  • FCP Project file won't open

    Hello,
    An FCP project file I worked on this past Friday suddenly won't open. When I try it immediately gives the helpful "general error" message. I tried opening the autosave files as well, with no luck. I tried renaming the project file and manually adding the .fcp extension, but still nothing. I'm not sure why it's doing this, since nothing unusual happened in the last few days. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Power Mac G5
    6gb ram, dual 2ghz processor
    FCP 5.0
    Also, does anybody know where I can purchase an unused version of the FCP 5.0 bundle? I can't upgrade because of OS and processor restrictions on my old G5. And I can't buy a newer mac right now. All of my related FCP programs are starting to act buggy, and I don't have the install cds anymore. Any ideas?

    I can't upgrade because of OS and processor restrictions on my old G5
    Huh? According to the requirements for FCP 6, it needs A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor and Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X v10.5.5 or later. How does your computer not fall into this range?

  • IMovie '11 project file won't open. Please help!

    My daughter put together a short film for a school project last night using iMovie '11 my brand new, out-of-the-box MacBook Pro (running X.6.8).
    I needed to have the identity updated at work today (including reinstalling my user profile used to create the project) - so I moved the iMovie Project files (as well as her original clips) to the hard drive, with IT guidance.
    However, now the project won't open. This is extremely distressing!!!
    I don't have the iMovie Events files. In fact, I don't recall seeing that file in the Movies folder. I'm not sure if this can be retreived (?) since the user doesn't exist.
    Any help and guidance would be most appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    IT-guidance - can be anything from a Mac Guru to a PC-fanatics (and last sort they do not usually know)
    Moving iMovie Event's and Project's -
    • MUST NOT BE DONE on DeskTop/Finder as this cut's the connection to iMovie. Has to be done within the iMovie Application (reg. iMovie'08 or 09 or 11)
    • MUST BE TO A - Mac OS Extended (HFS) formatted hard disk - else material will break up in 4Gb blocks that eventually never can be mended (Need a Mac  Guru to do this - if possibly)
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - Will not work for VIDEO (whatever flavor it is .dv, .QT, .mpg2, .AIC etc. - no GO) - for everything else YES - but not for VIDEO.
    You might try to move things back - and hope that iMovie now finds the material and then within the iMovie Application move it out to an external Mac OS Extended (HFS) formatted drive - prefer. FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me.

    Hello,
    Which version are you using? Can you look if you find a backup file, its name depend on your version. In CP5/5.5 it has an extension cpbackup
    If you use CP5/5.5 you can also retrieve a file from its cache (if you did not clear it). Work flow is described in this blog post

    I use the free Unarchiver: http://unarchiver.c3.cx/unarchiver

  • PDF file won't open after saving it from the web.  get error message file is damaged.

    My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web.  I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion? 

    I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
    But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
    CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

  • Keynote '08 files won't open after cable replacement

    After what I've read, I'm so glad I didn't have the Apple Store install Maverick when the cable had to be replaced in my MacBook Pro as a work around to a possible drive failure. I thought I had successfully reinstalled everything via disk and back up restoration, but no, my Keynote '08 files won't open in the original program that created them and need "a newer version." Not acceptable. Can someone help me with this? I teach and need my original files for editing!

    I presume you mean Keynote version 4, part of the iWork 08 suite, (there is no version 08)
    1 -  Delete the complete iWork 08 installation, you must use an application removal tool to do this correctly.
    2 -  (Appcleaner from Mac Update is free and works perfectly for this)
    3 -  Re-install iWork from the Installation CD and test

    HI,
    If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
    This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
    Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
    It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
    iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
    Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
    It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
    The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
    iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
    Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
    With  Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself  (on it's own) and restart iChat  (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)
