"project file missing" error message

I've got 2-3 hours worth of footage from a vacation i took and it would be a real pain to to reimport and re-edit everything.. so i really hope you can help me.
whenever i try to open the movie file, iMovie gives me an error message saying "a project file is missing" "The file "_" couldn't be opened and is being skipped. Click "Ignore All" to skip any remaining missing file messages."
Then it gives me two options - Ignore All and Ok.
the weird thing is it doesnt specify a file. it just calls the file "_"
i've got some music files in it i may have moved around, but besides the fact the movie is on an external hard drive, i cant think of any other reason it would do that.
please help!

As Jeez33 suggested, the file name iMovie is asking about can't be relied on. Something has caused iMovie to either store the name incorrectly in the project file or retrieve the name incorrectly from the project file. The file it's asking about probably doesn't exist and probably never did. The usual cause for this problem is the wrong disk format for the project's disk. (Not the main disk.) So it's garbage in, garbage out.
Another possible cause is that either the project disk or the Mac's own main disk is too full. That can cause disk errors. I mention that because both your disks are quite small. As iMovie works with large video files, a tremendous amount of disk space may be required. So make sure you have plenty. 10 GB free.
You also might try looking inside the Media folder of the project to see what you can see. To look inside the project package, Control-click on the project icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu. Then look inside the Media folder. That will tell you what files are there. Look for any unusual characters in the file names, especially "/", which can confuse iMovie.
It's possible too that the project file has been damaged. The project file is loose inside the package. Its name is "Your Project Name.iMovieProj". When you double-click on the project icon, that's the file that opens.
There's a second project file named "Your Project Name.~iMovieProj". (Note the tilde.) That's a kind of project backup, the PREVIOUSLY-saved version of your project. Try double-clicking on that. If it opens the project successfully, quit iMovie, remove the tilde from the name, and let it be your project file. When you next save, iMovie will create a new tilde file.
Your Mac's hard disk or the external disk may also need some disk repair. Use Disk Utility to verify and repair the external drive. If the drive directory is flawed that can make it impossible for iMovie to read/write to files on the drive, including to its own project file.

Ca'nt ftp longer (i.e. 4 minutes) flv or f4v files (get error message "waiting for server") I

when I ftp(i.e. "put" or "upload) short flv or f4v files using dreamweaver cs4 the files upload easily and quickly. However, when I try to ftp ("put" or "upload" ) longer (i.e. 4 minutes or longer) flv or f4v files it goes through the ftp process (seeing it in background activity screen) but at the end I always get a message "waiting on server" and the longer files don't get onto hosting server. Is there a setting I need to change or other method I need to use). I have worked with my hosting support tech person but we could not solve this problem.

I'd suggest that you try using a dedicated FTP program like Filezilla or SmartFTP.
http://filezilla-project.org/
Those programs give you much more feedback on what's happening as you attempt to upload files, including error messages, etc.
There is really no difference between uploading large files and small files, the process on the server is exactly the same..UNLESS there are limits to file size or video duration set by your host. So dispite the fact that you have worked with your host support, I'd still say that the problem is server side or being limited by your Internet service provider... unless the video files you are attempting to upload are corrupted.
You didn't say if any portion of the larger video files were uploaded...and FTP program will show you whether or not ANY of the file was uploaded and at what point it stopped. You also didn't mention how large the video files where.... sort of where the "tipping point" is in file size (video duration of course is no measure of file size).
Just to reassure you, the file size of a video file will have no bearing on your ability to FTP unless your host or ISP is limiting you in some way.
I regularly Live stream events and also record them. An 8 hr event will produce roughly 1.5GB of compressed video. I use SmartFTP, with a reputable host and can upload the entire set of 1.5GB of video files (each about 50MB) over a 1000kbps upload connection without problem. Recently during a movie production project, we uploaded a number of single video file which each where over 1GB a piece.
So there is really no problem uploading video files unless there are restriction on you account from the host or the ISP.

Hi
Error -2125
OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
less than 25Gb (my minimum)

If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files the error message is could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

Wrong CAP file version error message

I'm trying to write a loader application that will send a CAP file into JavaCard, and then install it automatically.
I have developed my JavaCard Applet by using Eclipse3.1.0 and JCOP30.

How to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

I'm not understanding if your cap file is in "b\bin\FVSCardPkg\javacard\", then why are you loading "D:/MyCardPkg.cap"?
The issue isn't with your off card application, but the cap file version. Look at the cap file components in JCVM specification. I believe it's the Header component. The major, minor should match your card but not greater. In other words, your can't load a 2.2 on a 2.1 card, but a 2.1 can load on a 2.2

TutWD_FlightList_Init .project file missing

Hello,
I am trying the TutWD_FlightList_Init tutorial.
I have downloaded the project.
For the first time I could successfully import this project into my workspace , however while creating model i was getting jjava.lang.NullPointerException.
So also when I tried to import this project for the second time into my workspace , while importing it said .project file missing.
Can anyone suggest the possible solutions to resolve the issues I am facing.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Removing the .metadata folder and restarting NWDS fixed my NWDS as well.
I think you have to downloaded TutWD_FlightList_Init this application in SDN right. May be that application having some problem you can create application in own way. I think you are new to webdynpro JAVA right.

Project Manager plugin missing error message

When opening documents InDesign CS 3 (5.0.3), I get an error message advising that the document uses the Project Manager plugin, which is "missing." These documents were created in a previous version of InDesign (probably CS1).
Upon saving changes, I get this error message and am required to overwrite the existing document every time.
Some of the images in the document may have been created by a previous user in a CAD program, which is what this plugin seems to relate to (from what I can discern from the limited info I've found online).
All images, however, appear to be either TIF, EPS or AI. There are no DWG images that I can see, though some of the EPS images may have been exported from CAD.
I've been unable to find the Project Manager plugin online. Does anyone know where I can find it -- or, if not, how I can disable the use of the plugin in these InDesign documents (and/or images placed therein)?
I'm running Mac OSX 10.5.4 on a new iMac.
Thanks!

Missing older files; odd error message

Some old files from iTunes are missing. An error message pops up occasionally, saying, "iTunes library cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." For security, I normally run my pc on a "standard" account and switch to an administrator account when installing, cleaning, etc. Surely iTunes is not configured so as to require only pc administators to download material? How to resolve this problem?

There you are, Pages 5 can be relied on to not be relied on.

How do I password protect a pdf file - getting error messages?

I'm trying to protect a pdf file (i.e. a tax return printed to PDF) with password to open and password to modify. However I'm getting an error message in a pop up window saying..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder." I'm using WIN 8.1. and I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (student / teacher version). This is a standalone PC so I can't imaging someone else is using this file. Also I've tried renaming and saving to a different folder (from the folder the original file is saved). I've also looked at properties of the PDF file and its not tagged as read only. Please advise if I'm missing something. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for responding...I'm getting the same message that I got at first..."The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save document with a different name, or in a different folder."
The next day I emailed the file to my work PC and encrypted it with no problems. I have WIN 7 and am using Acrobat 8.0 there. So the problem seems to be with my new PC here at home (i.e. WIN 8.1 and Acrobat XI). Frustrating. I'm betting its some obscure setting in WIN or Acrobat, that is way over my head. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks again.

Itunes won't fully install or unistall, "REQUIRED FILES MISSING" error

I tried to download the latest itunes and now it won't open at all. Every time I try and open itunes an error message appears "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Reinstall itunes" I have reinstalling and the set up freezes on "registering Itunes automation server" the the error message comes up again. Also when trying to uninstall itunes it freezes on "unregistering Itunes automation server"
I have no idea what to do and I can’t even remove the program from my computer
Please help

I'm having the same issue, however the following must be noted, I successfully did the update on my Acer 5100 Laptop running Windows XP SP2. The only difference between my Acer and the Desktop (where itunes 7.5 will not install) is that the laptop is a newer techonolgy.
Afraid this has to be taken into consideration. If your sporting an older pc then you like myself are running the risk of NOT being able to support future upgrades, and APPLE, MICROSOFT know this but won't really send you a newsletter telling you to upgrade your PC
You will figure it out on your own after stressing yourself out!
Sad but true reality to face my fellow PC users.
