Opening a file hangs/freezes in FCP 6.0.2 &@*#!?

I have a 20-minute short film in a project file that has a lot of nested sequences, effects, etc. Recently, about a month after upgrading to FCP 6.0.2, the project file decided that it wouldn't open anymore. I think it may be related to having trashed some of the render files at some point (though the problem didn't appear at the same time as I trashed the render files).
Here's what happens:
-I double-click on the file.
-It loads for a while, then tells me that I have a ton of missing render files.
Option A:
-I click "forget files", after which I get the spinning beach ball of death for about 3 minutes before FCP crashes.
Option B:
-I tell it to find the missing files, then reconnect random other render files instead of the nonexistent (now-deleted) ones. Then I get the spinning beach ball of death for about 3 minutes before FCP crashes.
I have given up on being able to access this project file again, or at least until the next major update to Final Cut Pro (crossing my fingers). The old, old, old FCP auto-save files seem to behave identically, which makes me wonder if FCP just freaks out when there are nested render files that are needed to display other nested sequences, etc....
Any ideas?? Any help?? I'll buy you a twinkie if you'd like. I really am stuck on this one and this film needs to be finished....
Thank you for any help!!...?

Very good call. Here's what it has:
debug
Final Cut Pro(11010,0xa000ed88) malloc: * vm_allocate(size=75497472) failed (error code=3)
Final Cut Pro(11010,0xa000ed88) malloc: * error: can't allocate region
Final Cut Pro(11010,0xa000ed88) malloc: * set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
(repeated about as many times as I had missing render files, then:)

Admin Services - Data Prep Editor: Save, Open, Open Data File - Hangs

The problem is that whever I try to Open, Open Data File or Save while in Data Prep Editor, the Admin Console Hangs. It shows as Responding in the task manager, but the screen turns grey (hangs) and the admincon.exe process is constant at about 50% CPU.
I don't know what is going on? Is there possibly some corrupt disk area on my PC? I checked everyone on forums, tried to find the answer, but no info is availabe? I re-installed to JRE 1.5, I checked the java environmental variables. I did so much, but nothing has worked.
At first I thought it might have been some 9.3.1 bug, so I unistalled 9.3.1 and installed EPM System 11; still same problem!!
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a similar problem, when I try to open a data file, nothing happens.... app doesn't lock, just the file open dialog box never opens... I'm using 9.3.1, and the same problems happens, on EAS installed locally, Web client, and running EAS from the app server itself. The load rule works fine, I just can't see a data file in the prep editor. Any thoughts help are appreciated.

When I open the files in Windows Explorer PSE7 Starts up and Opens the files correctly in Camera 4.5.
After going through this process a .xmp file is created. I can then open the files in PSE7 using File>Open.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Preview opening invisible files and freezing since upgrade to yosemite

I "upgraded" to yosemite and now preview more or less doesn't function. It started when I tried to open a locked document (which I had locked using adobe cs6 or cs5 I can't remember. Adobe can open it just fine (one page at a time) but preview can no longer open it. It'll open and then as soon as I scroll one page up the document freezes. and from then on out when I hover over the buttons for any document I open or have open in preview the close, minimize and full screen button do not change their icons to let you know you are hovering over them, but they still work. I can still minimize and close thing.
Additionally, when I go to open any more, they open up a blank/see through window. I can see a slightly opaque box where the file should be but there is nothing there. And I can minimize this box of nothing, and close the box of nothing, but that's it. I have to quit preview and start/get stuck all over again.
I have an early 2013 macbook pro with a dual core i7, 8 GB of ram
Lastly, as a side note, that sound the reminders makes is awful.. It sounds like my computer has gas... *facepalm*

I have similar problems. I used to be able to double click an item, such as a photo or Microsoft Word document, and have it open easily using Mavericks but Yosemite doesn't seem to work. I've tried changing the open with settings for .jpgs, etc. for each app but Yosemite changes all files to the same setting regardless of whether it's a Word document or a photo from Adobe.

Everytime i try to open a pages file it opens previous files and freezes on the file i actually need

Hi
I am a professor and I made numerous Pages for labs and now it freezes everytime I try to open what I created this summer

If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. If you don't want to have to close everything first try Mountain Tweaks. The option to turn off resume is at the bottom of the left-hand column under Lion. You can quickly close all open windows in an application by typing ⌘ ⌥ W (Command + Option + W) or hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the red close button.
Hold down the shift key while launching Pages to prevent it from trying to open all of those files you didn't close.

Preview opening EPS files - hangs

I am suddenly having problems previewing EPS files on my G5 running OS 10.4.4.
I double click on the EPS file and it says "Converting Postscript File to PDF" - I get the spinning beachball and it just sits there, not doing any conversion.
When I do a force quit, it says 'Preview not responding'..
The odd thing is, on my other machine, running the exact operating system, it has no problem.
I tried trashing the preview prefs and bookmarks, verified and repaired permissions and restarted - none of that worked.
Has anyone seen this problem?

Hi,
I keep having the same problem quite some time now.
Checking the installed fonts with font-book didn't solve the problem on my machine.
Might it be related to my LaTeX / GhostView installation?
Any more suggestions please?

ACR freezes while opening CR2 files

Hello everybody,
When I try to open CR2 files, ACR freezes
I'm using Photoshop CS5.1 and ACR 6.4.1
Any solution?

What model camera?
Can you reproduce this problem with, say, a CR2 file from your model camera that's already online somewhere? If so, I'll be happy to try opening the same file.
Chances are pretty good that the problem is on your specific machine, since Adobe does test out their stuff pretty well. If that's the case, you might check to see if there are any display driver updates for your video card from the web site of the maker of same. Video driver updates solve a lot of problems.

Excel 2013 hangs while trying to open a file from network share

Hi,
I am having issue opening excel file from a network share. it happens randomly, the file opens and hangs abruptly. Nothing happens after that ( we can only move the cursor), if we click on the excel sheet we get a beep sound. after i kill the excel process
and open it again ,it works fine.
Where did the member use the Excel file? Local disk, SharePoint, File server, or network shared disk?
       Network shared file and sometime locally
Does the issue occur in the special file or every file?
      it happens randomly and the whole excel freezes. i have to kill the excel session.
Which Office version is the file created? Excel 2013 or early? If it is XLS format, please try to convert to XLSX to test.
   Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013
Does the file have some macros?
Yes, they have macros in some files
Does the issue occur recently? If it is, have you installed some programs or update before you encountered it?
       it happened before too.
Do you get some error message when Excel crashed?
Yeah. Attaching the error message from event viewer. We get file corrupt errors and below too.
Please suggest

Hi Suren424,
Since your first image showed that "To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel." Please go to this path (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center\Problem Reports)
to check the detailed information, and you might upload the screenshot or info here.
Then, please try the following methods and check if they are helpful:
1. File --> Options --> Advanced --> uncheck "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)"
2. Turn off "Protected View" --> (File –-> Options –-> Trust Center --> Protected View --> Uncheck all options
3. I notice that >>Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013 <<, it also might be caused by the Microsoft Office File Validation for Office 2010, please try to change setting in server with

Numbers freezes when I attempt to open a file from the iCloud

Hello,
My Numbers app for my iMac freezes when I attempt to open a spreadsheet file from the iCloud. These same files open fine on my iPad, and I make sure to close Numbers on my iPad before I attempt to open the file on my iMac, but it makes no difference. The app freezes, and I have to manually force stop the Numbers process. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I get the dock to recognize the latest numbers version I have.
Go to the Applications folder, find Numbers 3 and drag it to the dock. It will then look like the lower icon here (the one with the 4 columns).
Another way is, if Numbers 3 is already open, to right-click the icon in the Dock and choose 'Keep in Dock' under 'Options':
You can drag the icon with the three columns off the Dock if you don't want to open Numbers 2 from the Dock.

FM hangs on opening certain files

Using FM8.0p277 on Windows XP SP3
I'm currently encountering problems with my installation of FM8.0p277 on Windows XP SP3. These are the symptoms:
When I try to open certain existing FM documents (both structured and unstructed), the Windows hourglass appears, the framemaker.exe process has 50% CPU load (one of two CPU cores), and stays like this for tens of minutes until I kill the process.
I've worked on the same files before without any problems.
No difference if I shut down and restart the PC.
A friend at another company can open the same files using his FM8 installation.
I can however create new documents, save and reopen them. This tells me a fresh installation of FM probably won't be sufficient (but I'll try that later, if necessary).
This is how I guess the problem started: I tried to open an XML file that had been modified outside FM for testing purposes. Either FM did hang or took very long to open the file, anyway, I killed the framemaker.exe process.
What is particularly strange: I quit FM and cleared the temporary folders (both windows\temp and the one in my user profile). Immediately after starting FM again, I looked at the contents of one of the FRM*.tmp files and recognized some text content, which must be either from the XML file on which I killed the application, or from one of my other documents.
The last two observation would indicate there is temporary or cached data in a different place than in the Windows and User temp folders (I've already cleared up both of them while FM was not running).
Do you know where to look? Any other suggestions, maybe?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Johannes

Thanks to anyone who might have considered an answer. Luckily I found the cause and resolved the error. Naturally it was something I didn't think of at first.
(To get even more verbose: FM had been running for a few days already. In the meantime I had copied an obviously corrupted .acf color catalog file into the fminit\color directory, and these color definitions were relevant only to my existing documents. After killing FM because of the XML file that simply took very long to open, it was the first time that color catalog had been in effect.)

I have a FCP event and project with all accompanying media saved on a harddrive. I am now attempting to open the files on another computer that also has FCP X. I cannot figure out how to get it to open.

The events and projects folders have to be on the top level of the drive for FCP to recognize them.

Problem with reader version 11.0.2 when it starts up and I open a file, All hangs for 30sec

I am using windows 7 on a 64bit laptop.
When I open a file the sytem hangs for over 30sec saying 'program not responding' the wakens up and works fine till I open another file?

Thanks for your feedback. I have now tried that but does not appear to change the situation noticeably.
I have tried raising priority using a program for managing the 2 memory cores and this appears to improve
things considerably as one might expect but probably only masks the basic problem.
I am assuming that I have added the reader_sl.exe program file to the start-up sequence, since this is
not as straightforward with windows 7 as it was with previous versions.

DW CS3 freezes on opening a file

I have a site that has 110 cfm files in the root, 14 cfc
files in the "components" directory, and less than 10 each of
images, CSS, Spry, and js files in their own directories. Of all
these files, which I have been editing since April, there is ONE
file that makes DW crash. It can happen immediately when I try to
open the file, or if I try to do code-folding by highlighting with
the mouse instead of the cursor, or any other I don't know what.
The thing is, it didn't always do this. This file started making DW
freeze sometime within the last month or so.
I tried deleting and re-creating the file, didn't work. I
tried doing the preferences thing, didn't work. I haven't found any
other solution from this site or by Googling. I am using WinXP Pro
SP2, DW CS3, CF 8. I had to install CF8 because of a problem with
CF7, and I'm pretty sure that may have something to do with this
and with DW not recognizing the data source I've set up using the
Admin page.
Does anyone have any idea about this?
Thanks!

Another note: Here's the code that's freezing DW:
<cflock name="add_person" timeout="5">
<cftransaction>
<cfif isDefined("session.person_id")>
<cfif session.person_id NEQ "">
<cfinvoke component="root_dir.components.person_queries"
method="getUpdate_person"
returnvariable="update_person">

<cfinvokeargument name="person_id"
value="#session.person_id#">
<cfinvokeargument name="first"
value="#session.first#">
<cfinvokeargument name="last" value="#session.last#">
</cfinvoke>
<cfset variables.person = session.person_ID>
<cfelse>
<cfinvoke component="root_dir.components.person_queries"
method="getAdd_person"
returnvariable="add_person">

<cfinvokeargument name="first"
value="#session.first#">
<cfinvokeargument name="last" value="#session.last#">
</cfinvoke>
<cfinvoke component="root_dir.components.person_queries"
method="getGet_per_id"
returnvariable="get_per_id">

</cfinvoke>
<cfset variables.person = get_per_id.MAX_PEOPLE_ID>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cftransaction>
</cflock>
I don't know why this is happening now, all of a sudden.

Firefox will not open a file requiring javascript, then hangs; forced close is the only solution

Firefox 3.6.6 opens OK. Browsing OK, until I try to open a file that requires Java. The file will not open & Firefox immediately hangs. The only way out is a forced closure. Often getting a "This is embarrassing message" at the Firefox start-up. 2 choices are given - start new session or start up with previous tabs.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After updating Firefox to 3.5 & 3.6.6

requires javascript.
