Old project re-opens, but hangs system on save

When saving a project file in CS 5.0 the software hangs at the saving screen. this project was fine 2 months ago.
Using an external USB 3.0 drive for both project and media.
HELP!!!

Ok thanks so maybe hundreds is a bit over the top, but given the time I have spent trying to resolve this issue, and if it has to be done again form scratch, yes it will probabaly clock that...
Back to the solutions you suggested:
2) Tried to open the project inside another and even sequences but it wont locate the media, I direct them to the files then it just sits there and does nothing.
3) I am not familiar at all with transcoding, can you suggest a workflow.
4) re-cutting isnt an option, it worked fine one day then not the next, its a bug I ned to fix.....
I am convinced its a problem with storing the media and working from my external drives...? Again never had a problem and others work fine but not this project ?

I am having problems launching the standalone version of Lightroom 6 after I have gone through the install and activation process? Lightroom starts to open but "hangs" before any photos in the catalgue are displayed. I have contacted the chat support twice but they have not been able to fix the problem.

I went through the activation process yesterday and shut down my PC when I went to bed last evening. When I got up this morning and turned my PC on and then started Lightrom 6 (I upgraded from version 5) it started to launch but then just hung and became "not responsive". I I then uninstalled and then reinstalled the product today but the same thing happened. What is weird is that when I install from the standalone file I downloaded when I purchased the upgrade it looks like it's downloading the software again over the Internet? I have been having these problems for the last four or five days. I have contacted the chat support folks twice and they were able to get it working but whatever they did did not last as the problem reappeared again once the PC was shut down and then started up again.

I have checked the warn me when closing firefox with multiple tabs open but the system does not warn me and closes all of the tabs?

Safari, iTunes & Skype Opens But Hangs Then Crashes Without Notification.

When I click Safari, iTunes or Skype on the dock of my MacBook, it opens, very slowly. But when I click on anything in-app, be it a bookmark, a song or a contact name, the spinning beachball appears. It spins for a minute or so and then the application quits by itself. Both Safari and iTunes quit without showing a crash report or the "unexpectedly crashed" dialogue, although Skype did show up with one.
Infact, most of the applications installed in my MacBook opens very slowly, much slower than before.
This problem started when I opened iTunes about a week and a half ago. When I clicked on a song to play it, then I opened another application (Safari), the song stopped and the spinning beachball appeared. Then more problems followed after that. I tried removing all the songs in my iTunes library and then installing them back again, all 31 GB of songs. It didn't work.
I read in another forum that it may be due to the amount of free space on the hard drive. I only have 6 GB left out of 180 GB. Is that the case?

This could be the case. Mac OS X 10 likes to have 10-15GB free to use as virtual memory and to store information temporarily while RAM is busy doing other things.
Your options include installing a larger hard drive (they are pretty cheap these days and it's a 10-minute DIY job) or moving your 31GB iTunes library to an external drive: http://www.tuaw.com/2006/09/19/how-to-keep-your-itunes-library-on-an-external-ha rd-drive/

Photoshop CC opens - but hangs indefinitely

Photoshop starts up great, but then goes into a permanent hang, the perpetual spinning beach ball. Have to force quit every single time.
Firstly: I have the latest version of CC and Photoshop CC installed
Secondly: I have already tried - and lost count - how many times I have uninstalled, reinstalled, used the cleaner tool, restarted....
I am at a loss and beyond frustated. This really puts a damper productivity.
Anything else I can try?
Also have problems with After Effects, but thats for another forum...

Ha! I would understand how that might be a slight problem! Silly me. Sorry about that.
I'm running MbPro Retina, 2.6 i7, 16GB RAM, with OSX Mav 10.9.2.
I have stuck solely to the the Adobe installers and instructions per the CC website, etc. Every other CC program operates as it should - it is only Photoshop that does this.
I have also not added any 3rd party items as of yet.
I can say that the stall doesn't happen until you try to use the app. So long as you don't use it, and let it sit, its fine. But something as simple as going to the menu bar screws it up.

CS4: old projects with subtitles crash

I have some CS2 projects...
No problems if opened with CS3.
Very BIG problem with CS4 (updated).. The old projects are opened with no problem until I click to active the subtitle track.. then CS4 CRASH.
I have done all these test:
- "Save as.." the CS2 project opened with CS4.
- "Save as.." the CS2 project opened with CS3 and then with CS4.
- Duplicate/remove/add new subtitle track, saving with CS2 and then opened with CS4.
- Delete any temp file/folder.
- Praying in any religion.
c There is no way to use old subtitles with CS4??

That is very sage advice and holds true for PrPro, as well. Though there is good version compatibility, going from older to newer, the process of using older Projects in newer versions of the software can be hazardous, at best.
Every now and then, we "inherit" Projects from older versions, and it can be like walking through a minefield. Sometimes you make it to the other side, but sometimes you don't. Over the years, I've tried to keep an old copy of each Adobe program (my main set of programs) on a machine*. Sometimes, it's just for an old, familiar interface for those RUSH Projects that clients hit you with, but especially with Video, it's for backward compatibility. I realize that it is not possible in everyone's case, but it is a good safety net.
Hunt
* I still have a copy of PS 4, because it did one thing better, than the versions to follow. About once per year, a particular client has a Project, that requires this ancient program. My biggest problem is trying to remember how its interface works, since I've been on newer versions for more than a decade.

DirectoryServices hanging system

Hi,
Since upgrading to 10.6 on my MBP5,2 I have been experiencing frequent near-hangs of the system.
Many already launched apps (esp Safari) get the spinning beach ball and I am never able to launch new apps, but I can move some windows around and often enter new text in them. If I happen to have a terminal already open, top shows me that DirectoryServices is opening ~1 new thread/5 seconds.
sudo kill -9 18 hangs before it prompts me for my password. (18 is the PID for DirectoryServices.) Verify Disk in DiskUtility.app will hang the whole system, even when started just after a reboot.
I am attaching everything DirectoryServices-related from Console.app. I connect to a single LDAP server at my company through VPN, though the problem seems to be unaffected by whether VPN is connected or any user action on my part. (I always have Mail.app open, but the system often hangs when I am not doing anything with it.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Joe

Updated to Leopard...sound in old project is now gone. Help!

I started a project in iMovie with the previous OS. I updated to Leopard, but I'm still running iMovie 6.0.3. Now the project will open, but no sound will play. I really don't want to update to the latest version of iMovie, and I'd hate to have to buy iLife '08 just to update iMovie to 6.0.4. Does anybody have a solution that won't result in loss of quality (and, ideally, chapter markers)?

1 - how did you "upgrade"? There are three options - Upgrade, Archive and install and Erase and Install
2 - what version of iPhoto do you have (iPhoto menu ==> about iPhoto) or in the applications folder right click (control click) on the iPhoto application and select get info
3 - in your Pictures folder do you see an iPhoto library?
LN
PS - normal terminology is memory refers to RAM for your computer and disk space refers to disk space - you seem to be using memory to talk about disk

I want iLife 8 but not iMovie 8, can old projects open in iMovie 6?

I have seen the new iMovie 8 and the missing functions makes it totally useless to me. I am very disappointed with the dumbing down of iMovie with this new version but enough has been said by many others about that already. However, the new iPhoto link to .Mac gallery looks good, and likewise the new version of GarageBand so I would like to get iLife 8 just for those, without using iMovie 8. I want to carry on using iMovie 6 for my old and new projects. If I upgrade to iLife 8 can my old projects continue to be accessed by iMovie 6 if I go to the "previous version folder" and open the application from there? I do not want to risk anything going wrong with the old projects before I have completed them. I definitely am not interested in even starting anything in iMovie 8 as I use all of the lost functions when editing my movies.
When I bought my first Mac 4 years ago, it was the sophistication of the iLife application that came with the computer, and particularly iMovie, that most influenced my decision to switch...nothing to do with iPod halo effects or pretty white hardware. If I was making the same choice now, I would not be similarly impressed and influenced by the capabilities (or not) of iMovie 8.
I can kind of see why there might be a need for the YouTube link up and webcasting functions in iMovie 8 for some people, but I still think that the majority of people using iMovie want to make good looking and sounding movies to store on DVD's. I really hope that Apple give us a proper upgrade to iMove 6 HD and a separate application for all the other simplified stuff.

Thanks both of you. All of the earlier projects that I want to open are in iMovie 6 so it looks as if that will still work.
QuickTimeKirk, I don't think I was really ranting ( I did that a few days a go and my post was deleted, so fair game), but I was expressing an opinion that from what I have read, is shared by many on this forum, and on others. I am not saying that iMovie 8 is absolute rubbish, it will work well for lots of people and has some good functionality if you want to make quick, simple movies and upload them to the web, but I sincerely believe that it falls very short for the many of us who want to continue to be able to do what we had been able to before with the old version. Whenever Apple had previously given us an upgrade to an application it had added not taken away...at least not so drastically as with iMovie 8. To me, not being able to at least edit sound or use a timeline, or themes, just means I can't get the same quality of movie I could before, therefore it is useless to me. I am just expressing my disappointment that a product that I had previously been impressed enough with to switch from PC's because of, no longer holds the same appeal. And I am only talking about iMovie 8, not Apple products in general, or the rest of iLife. I just wanted increased functionality, not less with a new version, and V8 is probably going to work for lots of people, but not for me. And I am not alone in that.

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

How do I open old projects in CS5?!

I just purchased a new iMac for our office. The old version of Premier (Premier 6.5) we had wouldn't run with the new OS system (10.6.4), so we've upgraded to CS5 and now none of our older projects will open... this creates a huge problem since we do a lot of 30 second tv spots for local car dealers and they tend to change only a few minor things every month. Might be the color of a car or the current incentive. So I just build off last month's commercial instead of redesigning the wheel every time... is there a way to open or import my older projects or am I pretty much screwed and have to recreate them?
thanks,
Rick

CS5 is not designed to open projects made in any version before CS3. I doubt even Premiere Pro 2.0 projects will open or import in CS5.
Sorry, Jeff--gotta call you out on this one:
From the help docs linked above (emphasis is mine):
You can add the contents of a project made
with Premiere Pro CS3 on either Mac OS or Windows. In addition,
on Windows, you can import a project made with earlier versions
of Premiere Pro, or Premiere 6.0 or 6.5. The imported project’s clips
and sequences are added to the Project panel in a bin named after
the imported project. The bin hierarchy of the imported project
is maintained within its new bin. Discontinued transitions and effects
are not maintained. Use caution when importing a project into another
project with a different time base or audio sample rate, because
these differences may affect edit positioning and audio quality.
Importing
a project into another project is the only way to transfer its complete sequence
and clip information.
Also, you can open projects made with
Premiere Pro for Windows, including any contents that may have been
imported from earlier versions, in Premiere Pro for Mac OS.
True, the project files won't "open," per se, but at least on Windows, you can go back quite a way. I've personally imported Premiere 6.0/6.5 PC projects into CS5 without an issue.
As the last line of the quote above mentions, you can get old Premiere projects (Mac or PC I'm guessing, since it doesn't specify) into the Mac version of CS5 by routing through the Windows version. Two step, perhaps, but it's better than nothing.

HT5958 updated10.1.1 and just opened FC, potponed project & events updating (not realizing what that ment) and now can't seem to get back to that. The above thread say "choosing File Update Projects and Events" but I do not see that option in my menu ???

I updated Final Cut and I postponed updating Projects and Events (not understanding that this mean I would have nothing in FC when it opened!). Now I can''t find how to go back so i can update those. The help thread says to use "file > Update Projects and Events" but that opinion is not in my menu ????? I also restarted my laptop but that didn't give me the option either....

The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

Upgrading to Studio - will old projects open/

I am about to upgrade to Final Cut Studio - Here is the dilemma...I have to get the full program, not the upgrade because my FCP program was "borrowed" from someone else and I will have to go from scratch with the studio, an upgrade won't work, I don't think. I did pruchase FCE initially, but you obviously upgrade from FCE to Studio. Anyway, when I install the Studio programs, will I be able to open all of my old projects in Studio, or will I have to keep all the old software from FCP and FCE on my computer?
Thanks.

Final Cut Pro does a good job opening projects from previous versions - including FCE. Once opened and saved they are not backwardly compatible.
If I was looking at installing FCS2 over your collection of previously installed stuff I'd seriously consider acquiring a new hard drive, format it MacOS Extended (Journaled) and install OSX and the applications from scratch.
This does two things for you -
1. you have an absolutely pristine installation of the OS and your apps. They will run very well.
2. you have a backup (your old system disk) if things go kaboom.
Cheers,

For the first time, I'm trying to use adobe premiere elements 10 that came with my pc Windows 8. I created a single project, saved it but cannot open it. My pc shows the file I created but I get an error message that says this type file is not supported or the codex is not installed. As a test, I created another very small project and get the same error message, when I try to open it. Pls give me a simple answer, a refund or a phone

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on? And, what video card/graphics card does that computer use?
Is this the first time you are using Premiere Elements 10 or have you worked with it before successfully? There is no easy solution until we
know the details and troubleshoot to determined what caused the problem.
1. Can you open a new project?
2. After you saved/closed the problem project, did you move, delete, or rename any of the files/folder that were related to the source media
for that project?
3. Please review the Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects.
Troubleshoot damaged projects | Adobe Premiere Elements
4. What are the steps that you are using to reopen this saved closed project.
a. File Menu/Open Project/Name of Project
b. Other
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next based on your further details and results..
Thank you.
