Please Help: Error message with files.

I'd REALLY appreciate some assistance with this, something has gone wrong with a large project and I'm prepared to beg!!
The root of my problem is trying to open the media files in an iMovie project (well about half of them anyway, for some reason the other half are fine).
When I try to open the .mov file from the project in Quicktime I get the following message (which sounds pretty drastic but I have no idea what it means):
"QuickTime cannot open the file: "movie.mov"
a bad public movie atom was found in the movie (-2002)"
I've posted the following in the iMovie thread, but am not sure whether it is an iMovie issue or a Quicktime issue:
I've been using iMovie for years and have never seen this before.
I created a large project some time ago, and only about 50% of the files from the projects media folder will open. They show up in he media folder as the little black Unix executable file icons rather that the regular white clip icon.
I've tried importing from within iMovie and get error message -2048, and the message that Quicktime can not parse the file. I've also tried opening the .mov file from the original project folder but no good.
I REALLY need to salvage these files, any assistance would be much appreciated. I'm using iMovie HD in 10.3.9.
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Sorted the problem myself by going to:

Downloading the iMovie file fixer and using it on my media files!
Woohooo!

HT201210 Please help - error message saying 'filmware file is not compatable', and videos will not transfer from phone to computor. what can i do?

As title says, I keep having this error message 'filmware not compatable' and my videos will not load.
Can someone please help this very non-tech-savy lady???!!
Cheers in advance

Bad news: It sounds as if you were sold a jailbroken iPhone.
Good news: File a SNAD with eBay. Make sure all your correspondence has been through eBay Messaging. The fact that the seller has been ignoring you will not sit well with them.
You will get 100% of your money back, including shipping. Paypal will simply seize his funds and return what is yours.
Lesson: Don't buy a used iPhone.
It's much worse for the seller. His PayPal and eBay accounts will be frozen. Until he squares up with both you and eBay, he's out of money and out of business.

Please help--Error message in PSE 7

When I open PSE 7 I'm getting an error message that says:
Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error Program....Adobe Photoshop, etc
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for information.
and a couple times the message just says Adobe Photoshop has stopped working and must close.
When I click "okay" the entire program shuts down.
This started about 10 days ago. I uninstalled the program and re-installed and it worked okay. Now today the message is back again. I've tried unplugging everything, restarting the computer and nothing is working. I am using Windows Vista.
Please help.
Thanks, Doris

I do not know enough about my computer etc. to
follow the troubleshooting
information that you referenced. But I was able to check my system
information and everything was okay in that area. I've been using
the PSE 7 program for almost a year with no problem until now. Is there some way that I can talk to
a "real live" person to get help. Thank you for taking time to try and help me. I'm just not computer savvy enough to follow the instructions as given.
Thanks,Doris

Please Help - Error message when trying to open itunes

Hi
Can someone help pls? I was in the middle of upgrading my version of itunes and my computer crashed. Now when I try to open itunes I get an error message as follows: 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience'.
I don't know what to do! I am worried I have lost all of my music!?

hiya!
'Quick time failed to initialize. Error # - 2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer'.
okay, let's try a careful standalone QT reinstall:
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
love, b

Please help: error message says ipod cannot be read from or written to

Hi
I have been using my iPod Video for a couple of months now without any problems, until yesterday. I tried to sync it after I downloaded a couple of new songs when I got this error message: "Attempting to copy to the disk 'Jason's Ipo' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
The 'Jason' in 'Jason's Ipo' is me.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
2002 PC Windows XP

Thanks, that was helpful.
While I was waiting for your answer I restored my iPod to its original settings. The screen is now black and white and the font changed to something smaller. Is this normal? How do I put the playlists and songs back in? Please post a link if there is a page on this subject.
Thanks again.

Please help - error message when installing iTunes 10

I have tried several times to install iTunes to my laptop. Every time, I get an error message that reads: "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."
I tried deleting the temp file and uninstalled all Apple components and still get the same error message.

Perhaps let's check to see if at least some of the iTunes components install.
Try installing QuickTime "on it's own". (Actually, this'll install a fair few of the other related itunes programs too, but not all of them.) Get the installer that doesn't mention itunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Does that install for you? If not, what error message do you get on the QuickTime install?

What is your operating system? Reader version?

Please Help: Error Message:"IP Configuration: IP Address Already In Use..."

I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm going to start here... I have been having this issue and its really beginning to scare me.
*_The Problem:_* I keep getting a message with a RED Exclamation Sign and its titled "IP Configuration" and says this: *123.456.0.1 already using DHCP 123.456.0.100*
I have been clicking okay, but finally one day got annoyed and called the mac people to get help and... they didnt help a bit.
So now I am trying to find help from others.... please help. give as many suggestion as possible and i'll continue to google for help. Thanks.
*So is someone else using my address?*
*Is someone able to see my screen and information and stuff?*
*Why is this happening?*
Please answer these questions if possible.

To really help, a description of how the network you use to get online is configured is needed. Are you using wireless? Are there other computers that use this network and if so, what operating system are they running? What sort of router and modem are you using? etc.
So is someone else using my address?
Either another machine is using your IP address, or something is wrong with the DHCP server.
Is someone able to see my screen and information and stuff?
Probably not.
Why is this happening?
My guess is that the firmware on your router needs to be updated.

PLEASE HELP - Error message, re "unsupported" ringtone format

Although I was able to open, download and use ringtones recently, now when I attempt to open any ringtones I receive this error message in the Media folder: "The media being played is of an unsupported format." and will not play. I haven't received any calls to test whether my phone will ring or not, but I'm assuming since it won't play back in Media, I'm unable to pull up the ringtone..period.
I'm a newbie to Blackberrys...any help would be so appreciated. Thank you.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I honestly don't know - the problem seemed to have fixed itself when I plugged it into the Desktop Manager and I sync'd everything. Very strange, but I couldn't tell you exactly how the problem was solved.

Please help! Issues with file permissions on the 'Edit' file created by LR for editing in Photoshop?

I am running a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. I use a Netgear ReadyNas as my storage device. I can Save, Re Save, Delete and add files without any concern on the ReadyNas from within PS or LR. However when I use the 'Edit in Photoshop" command on LR. I chose the 'Edit a copy with edits', LR creates the new duplicate 'edit' file in the same directory as the original. It opens in PS, I edit as required, however when I save the file to return to LR, I am informed that the file is locked and that I need to edit settings on file or folder, even though the settings are working for all other edits etc. I have had Netgear on this for 3 hours this evening and they cannot see any issues with the setting on the ReadyNas. Does anyone know what permissions are changed or why they are changing when the file is being created by LR?
Sorry bit of a long winded one - but I hope that all makes sense?

h264 is highly compressed and might be the reason your skimming isn't smooth, it may also take a bit more time to convert. I don't have to worry all that much about space so I haven't particularly tried it and can't say whether there are any drawbacks of doing so.
If you google 'mpegstreamclip tutorials', you will see quite a few tutorials you can look at, they do tend to be specific to one task which may not exactly fit in with what you are trying to do, but looking at a few might give you a better understanding of what some options do and when to use them if at all.

HT201262 cannot go to cmd+V or S, I cannot change my password. -error message ===boot file path system library coreservices boot.efi.... Please help.

cannot go to cmd+V or S, I cannot change my password. -error message ===boot file path system library coreservices boot.efi.... Please help.

Got it thanks macjack . Command + S on restart.
In this case Nad69-Breizh did you try restarting with the option key down and re-selecting the boot drive.
If no Recovery option, try command option R for internet recovery. Takes some time to load up.

HT4910 My iCal has frozen after I tried to paste info from an email into a reminder. I get a "server reports an error" message with what I tried to paste in the box. Calendar is frozen and will only close by forcing it. Any help?

My iCal has frozen after I tried to paste info from an email into a reminder. I get a "server reports an error" message with what I tried to paste in the box. Calendar is frozen and will only close by forcing it. Any help?

Did another window open with the pasted information? If so, try hitting "enter/return" key and "delete" key at the same time. That should get rid of the current action on the ical, the extra window should go bye-bye, and all should be fine with the world.
