Pr CC / Mac - Cannot open project!!!

'08 MacPro w/ OS X 10.7.5 - Pr CC v7.0.0 (was up to date but uninstalls/reinstalls)
I have been natively editing a multicam project for the last 2weeks:
* 3Cams = 2 Panasonic AVCHD + 1 JVC GY-HM150U ProHD .mp4
I'm finished with the MultiCam and am now editing the last 2mins of my 2hour project when... Pr CC CRASHED! It just dissapeared!!
When I try to reopen the CC project, I get: "The project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file of codec could be associated with this sequence type."
When I start a new CC project and try to import the JVC GY-HM150U ProHD .mp4 footage, I get: "Unsupported format or damaged file."
I have tried Uninstalling/Reinstalling Pr CC over & over but I am still unable to open the project or import the footage into a new project. I am also unable to update Pr CC via Application Manager: "Update Failed. Updates could not be applied. This patch is not applicable for you."
As we all know, the Pr CC project will not open directly in Pr CS. No matter because now I'm being asked to enter my SN/Activate CS which is unable to connect to the internet. (I'm writing this via my connection to the internet)
** I've been at this for 2days now!!!
** Support has been frustrating at best.
Anyone experienced this?
Any thoughts on how to get it all straightened out?
I may have to set aside time to redo my entire system as troubleshooting is too frustrating, confusing, and time consuming.
If I were to upload the Pr CC project file to my Dropbox... would some kind soul Download/Open it... and export an XML of the final sequence (07_ReCap), which I can then open in FCP?
(or at least tell if there is another problem besides the preview CoDec)

Hey man! I've been struggling with this issue for over a month and i finally solved the problem. Open the damaged project file with "TextWrangler" or any other notepad alike app and by pressing cmd + f find the 12 rows starting with
"<MZ.Sequence."
and now open a not damaged project file with the text editor and find the same 12 rows. Copy and paste the ones from the working project file to the damaged one and save the file. If everything done right, then it should be working now Hope this helped
the rows should look something like this
<MZ.Sequence.AudioTimeDisplayFormat>200</MZ.Sequence.AudioTimeDisplayFormat>
<MZ.Sequence.EditingModeGUID>cc7991f5-c236-4db1-957e-2c71f924e81c</MZ.Sequence.EditingMode GUID>

Photoshop files in FCE - Cannot Open Project

I have a series of Photoshop files (RGB with about 10 layers a piece).
I am able to import a file into FCE HD and move the layers around as tracks - everything works great.
I save the file, and close. When I try to re-open the file, I get the dreaded "Cannot open project file".
I have tried this with an external drive and saving to the desktop. I have also tried importing normal pictures - no problem. It's when I import layers. I have been able to isolate the problem to layered Photoshop files.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Any PS file that has transparency that is imported
into a PAL project will corrupt the file, so
that you cannot open it again. Sorry.
See this (9th post down) which showed that any file created in Photoshop with its type as ".psd", whether with or without transparency, will give this fault. However, a file created in Photoshop with .tif will be safe even if it has transparency.

Cannot open project: the folder for this project cannot be found cs4

I am using Encore CS4 and I get the error "cannot open project: the folder for this project cannot be found"
Having searched the forums I can not find a solution for when the project folder has been deleted.
Can someone tell me the solution to this issue.

If you deleted the Encore directory, you cannot fix this. You'll have to start over.
Encore creates this folder structure:
Root or some other Folder
MyProject.ncor (the Encore project FILE)
MyProject (the Encore project directory)
Other Folders for the Encore project (e.g. Cache, Sources)
You can get the "the folder for this project cannot be found" in various ways.
There have been two recent threads in which the user, by accident or on purpose, changed the folder location or name. You can fix this by renaming the folder correctly or moving it back (or moving the Encore project file to the correct relative position).
Folder was renamed. If you name the folder "MyProjectX" Instead of "MyProject," the project file "MyProject.ncor" can't find it.
Encore project file was moved - or Encore directories were moved. If you move "MyProject.ncor" to some other directory or drive (including inside the folder "MyProject"), it can't find the directory - it is looking one directory level below where the project file is located.
If you delete the Encore project directories, the stuff that Encore uses that projects menus, motion, etc, are gone. While many of its instructions are inside the project file itself, many are not. Some of the deleted material might be recreated (e.g. trying to fake Encore into accepting a copy of a menu), but most cannot.

Cannot open project file with write access...

I have seen that this problem has been reported before but have yet to find a solution.
I have my project file in an external hard drive. When I plug the hard drive to another computer and want to save it I get this message:
"Cannot open project file with write access. The file may be locked or you don't have permission to write to this location. Select Save As..."
I don't want to Save As because other projects make reference to this file and also my Encore file will be messed up.
FYI both computers use Windows 7.
Any solutions?

Right click on the folder in Question and select properties. Then select the security tab. Make sure you add everyone to the user list. You do that by selecting edit and then add. Type in everyone in the object section and hit ok. Then select the everyone user and checkmark the Full control. Hit Apply and it will adjust the permissions for the folder and subfolders and files.

Cannot open project - Newer Version of Premiere?

I am attempting to open a Premiere project file that was sent to me. It was an After Effects project that has been converted to a Premiere project as I do not have After Effects. I cannot open it, as Premiere pops up with a box saying that the project was created using a newer version of the program and cannot be opened in this version. I am running CC and am up to date. What's going on?

No its not.
Adobe confused us with a CC 2014 (8.0) and now its CC2014.1 (8.1.0)
If i got that wrong.... its cos I am confused. (easily done)
If you want a worse example of software versioning...try and work out NVIDIA drivers, HP Printer Drivers or BM Drivers.

LV RTE cannot open project files that have .lvlib references in Dependencies

I'm writing a LabVIEW DLL to inspect LabVIEW project files, and I've noticed that if a project has a .lvlib reference in its Dependencies, then the Run-Time Engine contradicts itself about whether or not it can find the project file:
Project.Open returns error 7 (file not found)
Project.GetFileLVVersion is successful
Here are snippets from my G and C code that exercise this behavior:
int openStatus = StatusSuccess;
char* projectVersion = createStringWithLength(VersionStringLength);
printf("Analyzing %s\n", pathString);
OpenProject(pathString, &openStatus, projectVersion, VersionStringLength);
printf(" Project written in LabVIEW %s\n", projectVersion);
if (openStatus == StatusSuccess)
printf(" Opened project file.\n");
else
printf("Error: Could not find project file, or file was not a project file (error code %i).\n", openStatus);
However, when running in the development environment, both methods succeed.
Is this a bug, and if so, is it fixed in LabVIEW 2014?
Here is how you can reproduce it:
Prerequisites:

Unzip the attachment into a temporary directory (eg c:\xtra\temp)
Open "OpenProject.lvproj" in LabVIEW.
Build "Open Project Library".
Using ConEmu with a bash prompt, navigate to the temporary directory.

Here is another way to trigger this behavior, which also shows that LabVIEW only sometimes tidies the Dependencies item:
Open "OpenProject.lvproj" in LabVIEW.
Add a new VI to the project and place the "Application Directory" file path constant its block diagram.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)" and use the default name for the new VI.
Type OpenProject 'c:\xtra\temp\OpenProject.lvproj'
Notice there is an error again, as is expected.
Remove the "Application Directory" file path constant.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)"
Type OpenProject 'c:\xtra\temp\OpenProject.lvproj'
Notice the problem is gone, as is expected.
Re-add the "Application Directory" file path constant to the block diagram.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)"
Type OpenProject 'c:\xtra\temp\OpenProject.lvproj'
Notice there is no problem, which is surprising as there should be an error since the Dependencies item hasn't been tidied.
Close the new VI and remove it from the project.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)"
Open "OpenProject.lvproj" in a text editor.
Notice the Dependencies item has been tidied.
Re-add the VI back to the project.
Select "File » Save All (this Project)"
Type OpenProject 'c:\xtra\temp\OpenProject.lvproj'
Notice there is an error again, as is expected.
Solved!

The same behavior occurs in LabVIEW RTE: a new project with an Application Directory constant in a blank vi will return error 7 - file not found, but still return the correct version of LabVIEW in which the project was created.
I've been experimenting with workarounds for this behavior, and I found one.
When I provide the LabVIEW path for libdir in my executable's ini file, the run-time is able to load and inspect the project file.
libdir="C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013"
While it's expected that a stand-alone executable may be placed on a system that doesn't have the LabVIEW IDE, it's still surprising to me that the Run-Time Engine cannot find LabVIEW's standard library without some explicit guidance. What other considerations contribute to that behavior?

FCP Recue is a simple GUI wrapped applescript that just removes you application preference files (and you did that already) .... it won't magically fixed missing or corrupt media
You're not providing enough information. We can't see your screen from here.
What is your hardware setup exactly? Are you using an external media drive or is your media stored on the startup disk? How did you go about disconnecting/unmounting the media as described above?
Are you indeed using Final Cut Express 3.5? If so, you are in the wrong forum as this is the Final Cut Pro forum (FCE's big brother). Have you asked for help in the FCE forum? It may be that this is a common and known issue with that app, I wouldn't know. That said, I'm happy to keep plugging away at this but if we're using different apps it may be going nowhere fast.

Cannot open projects or import custom skins into RH*

Hi,
I just got a new laptop and I'm unable to open ANY projects or import custom skins into RH8. I was on 8 previously, but I cannot open my projects nor can I import skins. I click on Skins>import>choose the skin, then nothing. It's like it's not even recognizing I'm doing anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If you can't open a project, how are you getting to the File > Import > Skin menu item? Also can you give us some additional information about the laptop (e.g. the OS).

Cannot open project file in Project 2010

Hi,
I have a project created in Project 2010. I can save it without any problems. But some saves are broken and I cannot open them again. When I open saved project an error message is displayed:
There was a problem sending the command to the program and Project freezes. Project 2010 itself starts without any problems. What's strange I can open this file in viewers like MOOS Project Viewer 2.0 but not in Project.
Any tips highly
appreciated.
Lukasz Chomin

Hi Lukasz,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)
It sound as though that project has corruption. If you can open it at all, follow the advice given below. If you can’t open it at all, it seems like it’s lost – you do have a backup don’t you?
If you can open it in another program, try copy/paste the data back into a new project.
If you suspect a corrupt file, you could try the suggestions in FAQ Item: 43. Handling project file corruption and/or bloat.
FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address:

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-)

Cannot open projects in FCP - "General Error"

Well, just upgraded to OS 10.4.10, and FCP to 5.1 on my 867 quicksilver. several external lacie hard drives. 1.5 GB ram. after the archive and install of the OS, I could not open projects in FCP 4.5 due "General Error". I upgraded to FCP 5.1 and experience same issue.
at the time of OS upgrade, i also changed my second internal drive for a larger one, and put the original one, with its original name, in an external firewire housing. It appears on my desktop and is included in the FCP system preferences, so i assume that is not a problem.
any ideas?

I updates to 5.1.4, and issue turned into "project file unreadable or from more recent version of FCP" when file is actually from older version. THIS problem was solved by disconnecting all external drives, opening 4.5 project and updating to 5.1.4, reconnecting and setting external drives in FCP system pref, and then reconnecting media.
I have had this problem also happen with a project i already successfully opened in 5.1.4 ...turns out i had opened it with some network drives on my desktop and then removed them. I put one back, it opened successfully, I got rid of the network drive and resaved and now it opens fine. In other words the message "project unreadable or from a later version of Final Cut" really indicates there is some drive rooting problem, not a problem with project file or what generation it is.
hope that helps anyone out there. sure is a relief to be working again.

Downloaded Photoshop 11 on Mac - cannot open it, should I uninstall/reinstall - Help!

I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements about 6 months ago. I think I messed up from the beginning - perhaps I saved something in the wrong place. I tried making a shortcut on my desktop, but it didn't work somehow, so I've been going through the Organizer to open the Editer because whenever I click on the shortcut I get this error message: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."
Today I was fiddling around with things on my computer and tried to make a shortcut again by finding the "Adobe" file in Finder and dragging it on the desktop. That didn't work....it disappeared from Finder and I cannot open the Editer from the Organizer anymore - needless to say the shortcut I tried to make didn't work. I keep getting the same error message. So, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I would really like some opinions. Should I uninstall it completely and reinstall it? Can I since I downloaded it off the site?
Please help!
Thanks!!

Hi cosmicstarfish,
It seems the install was not proper. Please uninstal the existing version, download the software again and reinstall.
You can try downloading it from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
But make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.
