Please help!!! FCPx every time I import a video clip, it says that there is 1 file missing and it turns red.

Hi everyone,
I really need some help!!
I have started a new FCPx event (saved to my external hard drive) and every single time I upload video clips (.MOV) to Final Cut Pro, everything looks normal and great but within a minute or less, it says that there is a file missing (for each clip that i have imported) and the clip turns red. The clips still play fine and I can continue editing, but I don't understand why it keeps saying the file is missing??? I have tried relinking these clips with their originals found on my external harddrive, but again, after a few seconds, it says "1 file missing".
Am I importing these clips incorrectly? Are they corrupt files?
I appreciate any advice.

Hi amnolan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Final Cut Pro is unexpectedly prompting about clips missing from your project, start with steps 5, 8, 9 and 10 from this troubleshooting guide:
Final Cut Pro X 10.1: Troubleshooting basics

All the best,
Jeremy

Can anyone please help? Every time I start up my imac OSX 10.6 desktop my Aperture 3 programme opens up without being requested. Is it possible to stop this from happening and only open by using the desktop icon? Thank you for any assistance.

Best regards, John.

because there is absolutely no mention in my System Preferences of either Users & Groups nor Start Up Items.
John,
William's solution was much easier - just for completeness sake: The preferences panes to edit your startup items moved between the Mac OS X updates: I forgot that the "Users&Groups" preference pane used to be called "Users" in Mac OS X 10.6; it is the panel that you use to create new User accounts; and earlier systems had a separate preferences panel "Login" to enable and to disable the applications that are launched at login. Both are now combined in "Users&Groups". Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase with the wrong Preferences panel.

JDunlop,
thanks for your quick reply to my java.sun.com forum posting! i just got back from vacation, so i didn't get a chance to try your method til now. i pulled your email address off the website to update you on my problem playing an avi file in JMStudio (JMF).
as per your instructions, i downloaded the divx player at www.divx.com and tried to play the avi file. this is the error the divx player gives:
Divx Player 2.1
The file contains unknown video data
The file contains the following type of data:
Video data: FOURCC code "MP42"
You may need to install a new video codec on your computer to watch this video
Some quick questions:
1. Where could I find the "MP42" codec to play my avi file in JMStudio (JMF)? Does java.sun.com have video codecs?
2. You mentioned in your posting "If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck." Does this mean that I need to know how the avi file was originally coded and have the original codec to decode (play) it?
Thanks,
lac410
P.S. If you need more Duke Dollars for your help, I'd be happy to award them to you.

sounds to me like you are missing a video codecs. If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck. Download the player from divx.com, it will tell you which codecs the video needs (if it won't play). You can then search the net for that particular codecs.

I just created an Apple id, but each time I try to verify it, it says that there is allready an account on my e-mailadress, this while it is the first time I registred. How do I have to do this? Thanks!
<Email Edited by Host>

Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

Reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

When I connect my ipad to the computer and click import photos and videos, the computer says that there are no photos or videos on the ipad it says the file is empty I can't even add anything to the file!!!!!

It looks like the card may be the problem, and your best bet is to try the Card Reader - this will make the card accessible by the Finder and you may be able to drag the pics off to the desktop or, at worst, try recover the pics with an app like MediaRecover

Please help! EVERY TIME I open Lightroom, my purchased presets are gone!

This is getting really annoying! I back-up my catalogs, but even then, once I reopen Lightroom my purchased presets are gone. If I open my previous catalogs, the presets are not there, so all the photos I edited using those presets are returned back to their original forms. I always have to redownload all my presets, and it's bugging me so much since I'm on time constraints! What is wrong with my Lightroom?!
Also, every time I open my Lightroom program, the "Purchase Lightroom: I have a serial number/Trial version" pop-up shows. I always have to reenter my Lightroom serial number. >:( Am I doing something wrong?? Thank you.

Welcome to AD!
It's probably some Sony bloatware on your Vaio. Vaio owners world-wide have been battling this problem since 2008. It's some bad Sony software that deliberately attacks itunes. Apparently a while back, you launched the Sony media center that came pre-installed on your machine, and ever since, iTunes hasn't been able to properly save its library database.
Upgrade the Vaio Media software, as mentioned here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2715
And here is the thread from 2008 where it was discovered the Sony bloatware was causing it:

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.
