Project Files constantly becoming Corrupt - CS6

Hi,
I need all the help I can get. Ever since I've started editing on Premiere Pro CS6 (switch from FCP7) I've constantly run into the same problem. For every single project I have worked on, at least twice the project file will spontaneously become corrupt. There are no warning signs, it just happens at random when I open the project. I end up opening one of the auot saves but will usually lose time, and I should not have to rely on these backups as an everyday thing.
I've tried everything I can think of, I've gone so far as to load new harddrives in to my system. I've done fresh install of my OS (10.8.2) and fresh installs of the Creative Cloud. We use CS 5.5 at work with no problems and I've used PPro on and off since the very first Creative Suite and have never encountered an error such as this.
I've had absolutely no problems with After Effects, Photoshop, or Illustartor. Only PremierePro
Thanks.
Here are my hardware specs:
MacbookPro (10.8.2)
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
GeForce 320M 256MB
6GB RAM
120GB SSD (Holds only OS & Software)
720GB HDD (scratch disk)
Codecs: both H.264 and ProRes at 1080/24p

The fix Adobe gave me was as follows (these are for a Mac but I'm sure archeticure would be similar on a PC)
Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
Now you will see a collective of folders for whichever adobe suite you have. Go to Premiere Pro and the next folder you should have should be labeled "6.0" change that to "60_old" or some random different label. Try opening up your original project (not the recovery proj) and see if that helps.

Upgrade to Robohelp 9: Your project file cpd is corrupt

Hi
I have installed Robohelp 9, and is now trying to upgrade a version 6 project to version 9. When I press upgrade in Robohelp, I keep getting the error "Your project file ...cpd is corrupt and cannot be opened". I have tried to delete it and open the xpj-file again, but there is no difference. Then I found something about a file called rhvariable.apj. I copied this file from a project that I already have upgraded and which were fine. But this gave no solution either. I also read something about deleting the cpd-file and the xpj-file and then edit the hhp-file. The problem is that my corrupt projects - I have 3 at this point - have no hhp-file. So there is a difference.
Could anyone help me? I have search and search
Best regards
Else

In case this helps anyone I will share my experience...
I've been waiting ages for the purchase order to go through for my new license for the latest version of RoboHelp. My Help project was in version 6. I had on one PC a trial download of RH 8 and on my other PC a trial download of version 9. (I work in IT hence the multiple PCs)
So, just a couple of days ago, I tried bringing in my v.6 project into v.9. I got the cpd file corrupt error and I tried deleting it several times. I even tried re-copying it in, etc. Nothing worked. I was annoyed....so just to try something I opened up my trial v.8 and loaded in my old project and it upgraded fine with no problems. I took this upgraded project and brought it into v.9 and, lo and behold, it worked! (Both being trial versions and just yesterday I got my v. 9 license key and registered with no issues)
I am up and running and everything looks great and I've generated and started playing around with all of the new features I am unfamiliar with...having been stuck with v.6 for so long!
Hope this helps someone....
thanks,
liz

ORABPEL-02100 - Deployed file location becoming corrupt.

I've had an SR open with Oracle for months on this one and it's made zero progress. Under load (BPEL 10.1.2.2) we sometime see the following error :
<BaseCubeSessionBean::logWarning> Error while invoking bean "process manager": Cannot find process content file.
Cannot find the content file "1.0" for process "TaskActionHandler" (revision "").
Please check that the path "1.0" is correct and refers to a file that has been included as a part of the
deployment archive.
Once the problem starts we have to re-start bpel to clear it. The content file name has become corrupt and instead suddenly contains the revision number. Revision number has in turn become null. This can effect any of the deployed processes and appears to be random but perhaps load related.
Luckily it's rare but has a catastrophic effect on the the in-flight instances.
Rob

I got fed up waiting for something (anthing!) positive from Oracle Support on this so decided trawl the BPEL logs myself...
Our ORABPEL-02100 error appears to be a side effect of an earlier problem:
The first time a BPEL process is called we sometimes see :
08/01/28 05:01:39 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 10
08/01/28 05:01:39 at java.util.ArrayList.add(ArrayList.java:355)
08/01/28 05:01:39 at com.collaxa.cube.rm.suitcase.PartnerLinkBindingsDescriptor.getPartnerLinkBinding
s(PartnerLinkBindingsDescriptor.java:50)
etc
Every time the service is invoked afterwards (until we restart BPEL) we see:
08/01/28 05:51:33 java.lang.NullPointerException
08/01/28 05:51:33 at com.collaxa.cube.xml.xsd.xerces.ProcessSchemaManager.loadWSDLs(ProcessSchemaMana
ger.java:181)
etc
It appears to occur when you get a two parallel threads executing the same BPEL process at exactly the same time where that process has yet to be invoked since the App Server started. To me it looks like a java sychronisation issue in the wsdl caching code.
Anyone else experienced this arrayList exception in getPartnerLinkBinding ?

How to transfer and use the project files from Premiere Pro cs6 MAC OS to Premiere Pro CS6 Windows

Is there any plugin or tool that can help me to transfer my project files along data edited on adobe premiere cs6 MAC OS to the adobe premiere pro cs 6 on windows PC

When transferring a project from one computer to another,to stop errors such as these, its essential to ensure that the project is copied with all the files and folders in exactly the same locations. Also before opening the project on the new computer, you need to set up a new project and set all the preferences to be exactly the same as on the first computer. Then when you open the project, premiere will find all the files in all the right places. Even then you may need to re-link some files. Just follow the prompts when Premiere asks "Where is file...."
We use USB hard drives to store students projects on and they are used on many different computers without problems, as the preferences are all set to be the same.

Printer drivers constantly becoming corrupt

We have a large mixture of HP and Ricoh printers in our environment. They are all linked through a Server 2007 Enterprise edition print server. For the HP printers, some of them do use the specific print driver and other use a universal print driver, also a mix between PCL 5 and 6. Most of the problems are occurring on Windows 7 (we don't have many windows XP and they use a different print server)and we are just starting to see some of these problems on Windows 8 (just starting to deploy). Here are the problems we are having:
1. Randomly the HP printer will stop working. Everything appears to be correct on the server and the PC and it works fine from another PC, but it doesn't appear to be communicating to the printer at all. You click Print in any application and it never actually does anything. If you just delete and re-add the printer you get problem #2. To actually fix it, you have to remove the printer, go into Print Management and delete all HP drivers (on one of the Windows 8 device just removing the one associated with the printer didn't work but removing them all fixed the issue) and telling it to redownload the print driver from the server.
2. The HP printer will randomly or on first install start printing "strange characters" and will keep printing until the job is canceled. Again we found that removing the printer and completely removing the drivers from Print Management and reinstalling the print will fix this.
These keep reoccurring with the same users and occationally new ones and we are starting to get bombarded with calls on our helpdesk. Let me know if there is something I can check to try to prevent these drivers from becoming corrupt on the PCs.
Thank you!

Hello everyone.
I understand you having software conflicts on multiple computers. So I can assist you, I need to find out what printer you have. Please click on this website to find out this information: Model Number. (Only the printers that are experiencing issues please)
On each of the computers; do they all have different connections or the same connection? Please verify if it's wireless, USB or Ethernet connection?
Once I know the connection I can further assist you on your "unable to communicate with your printer" issue.
I have a HP document that will help you resolve your issue on Continuous Pages of Strange or Garbled Characters.
Look forward to hear from you.

Final Cut Project file has become bloated

My Final Cut Project file seems to be growing at an exponential level. It jumped from 160mb to 367mb after I DELETED a bunch of files to try & reduce the size. The problem is getting serious. I try & "save as" or create a new project and drag my essentials into a new project, but then I just get the spinning beach ball. Any ideas? My sequence is only about 10 minutes long, working in ProRes422 Proxy files. Thanks!

Are those figures meant to be Megabytes because most of my projects of around 10 minutes are in the region of 5MB which is roughly equivalent to one JPEG photograph.
Is it actually the FCP Project file or some of the media or render files associated with it?
Are these the type of files you are referring to?
Could you post a screenshot showing the file and its size etc.
Is your problem just a fear of its "size" or has your computer ground to a halt?
How much free space is on your computer's hard drive?

File extensions become corrupted when sending attachments in Mail

Hi,
Since I upgraded to Leopard the file extensions on attachments that I send in Mail are corrupted in transit. The problem is not irremediable: .doc may change to .doc00 or .docis or something like that. The recipient can delete the extra characters when saving or opening the attachment, and the file is intact. But this is a bit of a bore, as I have to send attachments all the time. It doesn't matter whether I send from my iMac G5 or my MacBookPro, and it doesn't matter whether the recipient has a Mac or a PC.
Any collective wisdom out there?
Many thanks,
Anna

Some people have found that not having accented characters or spaces in the file name cures it. The bug has been reported.

How to recreate account.plist after the file has become corrupt

I updated my system to Mavericks last week and ever since my computer has become dramtically slow. Especially Mail takes about 30 minutes to open. I have discovered that the fault is caused by my account.plist file as it is 24 MB which seems way to big. I have already deleted the file and then Mail opens well and fuctions normal.
However when I add my accounts again it creates new POP folders in the V2 folder instead of using the old existing ones and it starts downloading the emails that still remain on the server. I would like to keep keep all emails etc just the way they are already on the system but basically just recreate a fresh "account.plist" file. How can I do this without the issue that mail creates new folders but just uses the existing folders???
I also already tried the following:
- delete "account.plist"
- Add new account in Mail
- New folder is created in the V2 folder for that email address
- Copy the old mbox files for that account into the automatically new created folder
The above seems to work but mail still starts downloading 200+ plus emails from the server.......
Any help how I can edit my account.plist file and delete unnessesary items there?? It seems that there is a lot of text in the file regarding my hotmail account and I expect that this is causing it to be so large. I have no idea though how to read this file and what I can delete and what not.....
At this moment I am pretty stuck and any help is welcome here.

These fixes have helped others, depending on the situation. I don't see one addressing your particular problem but they won't hurt.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Jpg files are becoming corrupt

I am a photographer with thousands of photos on my external hard drive. Over the past month or so, I have lost access to many of my jpg files. The icon no longer appears with a thumbnail of the photo... only the icon appears with the title of the file. I can't open these files with the Preview, and my Photoshop can't open them either. The message I get is, "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
Questions:
1. What can I do to stop this from affecting more of my photos?
2. How can I recover the jpg files that are lost?

Leopard should be able to read and write to the Fat32 drive. However some programs like Aperture do not support Fat32. Not sure if that's also a problem then for Preview.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24491
Were you successfully reading and updating over a period of time and then noticed you had a problem with 'empty' files or has it been this way since you attached the PC drive to your Mac? If it just started happening, what were you doing with those files or any files on the drive? It may not be the files, but possibly the directory that is at fault and can't find the file content.
Just for your information if you ever add a new drive or reformat the drive to be the recommended Apple format, ensure it is partitioned GPT (GUID Partition Table) and formated HFS+ (Mac OS Extended Journaled). Of course you'll want to copy everything somewhere (do you have a PC that might successfully access the files?) to back things up before you reformat!

MS Project 2013 keeps corrupting my project files...

I've got a fairly large project plan I've been working against in Project 2013 for several months now. Up until about a week ago, everything was fine. Now, when I go to open the .mpp from file explorer or "recently opened files", Project (the program)
opens, but does not open my .mpp. It just blips really quick and acts like it's going to open, but then doesn't. When I try to just open the program, and then manually navigate to the folder where my .mpp is located and open it that way, Project actually stops
responding and crashes.
I can open new blank project files fine, so I think my file has become corrupt. I've read a few things that could potentially help like repairing Project, recovering previous versions, and removing all links/predecessors from the plan, but they don't help.
I was able to get a previous working version of the plan, but soon thereafter opening it successfully and re-saving it in Project, it reverted to the same corrupt behavior. Interestingly enough, I've found that I "can" open the project file directly
from SharePoint in read-only (I have it uploaded there for my customers to see), but if I try to save-as locally again, and then re-open it locally, it becomes corrupt again.
This is very frustrating and mind-boggling - I'm hoping somebody else that has experienced this can point me in the direction of a solution. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Ryan,
Here is my feedback in addition to the excellent advice given by Phani.
It could be interesting to determine weither MS Project is corrupted or your file. Since you already tried to repair MS Project through the control panel, I'd say that the file might be corrupted.
In order to repair it, save it locally as an XML file, then open the XML file with MS Project (you'll go through an import wizard) and save it back as an MPP file.
I assume that it is a standalone file, not connected to Project Server.
Hope this helps,

Premiere Pro CC crashes when I import CS6 project files

I recently upgraded to CC, but every time I try to import my project file from Premiere Pro CS6 into Premiere Pro CC it crashes, or stops working if you like.
This is very irritating as I wanted to make use of the SpeedGrade workflow in the CC packaged between Premiere Pro CC.
My project file is no longer than 1 minute, however is does contain After Effects CS6 compositions, could this possible cause the crash? I have tried to import without these but it still stops working for some reasons.
Also I have no idea where to find the error log for crashes on Adobe software.

I have experienced similar crashes and timeline playback failure when importing a CS6 project into CC or CC 2014. I had to rebuild two projects by hand before I realized it was a bug in CC converting the CS6 project files to CC project files. I don't think this has been addressed yet, but I have had better luck starting projects from scratch in CC, not cross-converting a CS6 project. Although I'm still experiencing issues with multicam projects in CC 2014.
Curious to hear others chime in on this.

Icons bouncing but applications won't start. Files becoming corrupted

Started yesterday when I tried to start firefox. The icon bounced in the dock but firefox would not start. So I reinstalled firefox, and that seemed to fix it. Today Indesign started doing it. Also, a bunch of my files have become corrupted. (I noticed today when I started backing up everything new.)
I tried to boot from the CD to repair the disk permissions but when I try to verify them I get the BSOD. Is this because I am running Boot Camp? Please note -- I have not gone online while in windows. Only use to play episode 1.
This doesn't look good. I just installed eyeTV, and have recorded a few programs for my ipod. I realize that recording digital tv is a ton of use on my hard drive. But I haven't let it record more than 2 gigs at a time.
Does anyone else have a similar problem with eyeTV? or any suggestions??

Have you moved anything around in your file library? The Mac OS likes things in one place.
You may want to repair permissions if you have not yet done so.

Project files no longer open

Hello. All of a sudden, for no apparent reason, all my iMovie 08 project files have become unusable. If I click them, they open iMovie but only to show "My first project" in the upper left pane. The project itself doesn't show up. None of my previous projects show up. Events still do show and seem normal. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This is not an isolated incident. I contributed to another thread on this topic which curiously had the subject header 'How do I export a selected still from my iMovie?'
I will copy my comments below with those from the person who initiated the post...
Miranda watson
iMovie quit on me several times as I was doing final edits on a movie I'd been working on for 20 hours over the past 3 days... It literally vanished from the list and isn't even in the finder (as if it never existed!) ... Every other film on the Project Library, etc. has stayed in place, even bits of newer stuff I had imported more recently to start work on.... And as I know iMovie self-saves constantly, I would expect slightly earlier versions of it still to be there... but, NO!, it seems to have utterly erased itself! How on earth do I retrieve my evaporated movie?? There must be a ghost trace of it somewhere! Please help! I put my soul into creating this film and feel heartbroken if it is lost for good. Something about the process cannot be repeated. Many thanks.
Kirsty JB
Hi Miranda
I wish I had some offering of help to make but sadly I only have a similar tale of woe. I just got off the phone with Applecare and they said that there was nothing they could do unless I had my timemachine operating - of course I disconnected it to bring in the event media and forgot to plug it back in during my first moment of imovie excitement - doh! I suspect the support guy thought that I was quite insane, so I just wanted to let you know that you were not.
The strangest thing is that even in the Leopard finder, 'search' 'for today' was completely blank for the project name - it seems truly to have evaporated.
I will keep my eye on this post - I hope a smart person comes by with something for us both.
Cheers
Kirsty

Any way to prevent dupes in Premiere Project file?

Due to working with both PluralEyes as well as multiple editors on the same project, I deal with importing a lot of XML and PRPROJ files into existing project files that I've worked with.
This, on a large scale, becomes untenable because every time I import another editor's work or a synced sequence, I get duplicates of all my media in the project. I'm trying to figure out if there any way to have Premiere check to see if the media is already imported, and reference that media in the imported sequence? If not, I will just keep getting larger and larger project files with multiple references to the same media, because both me and my other editors are working with the same media, but for different sequences.
As far as I can tell, when you import an XML, or even a sequence from another Premiere project, it creates new master clips for every clip used in the imported sequence. It does not recognize that you may already have a master clip that you're using in another sequence that is referring to the same media.
So if you want to keep both sequences in your project, you need to keep both master clips. If you delete a master clip from your bin, it will not stay in the sequence(s) that refer to it, it will get cut out, leaving a big steaming crater where it once was. Even if the sequence is not currently open. This is one of the things I loved about FCP7. You could delete every single one of your master clips and your sequence would be totally unaffected. You could even recreate the master clips by dragging them from your sequence to the bin.
I think if there really is no way to manage these duplicates, this is a HUGE problem for professionals who are working in environments with multiple editors. This isn't just a "well, learn how to deal with a new editing system" - this is actually a deal-breaker; and actually the only one that I see REALLY preventing Premiere from being the go-to choice for larger post houses. This problem becomes so big so fast that it makes true collaborative editing downright impossible. In my office we might have three people on a project, all editing and revising segments and passing them back and forth. On FCP7 this was easy as pie - we'd just cut and paste between project files and use basic versioning best practices. In Premiere, our project files quickly become nightmares and work is often inadvertently deleted or lost.
I would like to see:
- Smart media handling when importing sequences and projects. Premiere should look at the filenames and file location and attempt to relink any duplicate media. If it stumbles, it should ask for help like FCP.
- A media consolidation inspection feature. I'd love to see an option for inspecting your project for duplicate media references. When found, Premiere should automatically consolidate.
- Streamlined sequence exporting. You should be able to export a single sequence. I know there's some version of this in Project Manager, but we all know it should be easier than this!
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Link Master Clips to media on drives, not to sequences.
How would you like the feature to work?
"The selection you are deleting contains clip references in one or more sequences. If you continue these clip references will all be deleted. Do you want to continue?" In short, I never want to see this warning again. I *need* to be able to delete master clips from my project without having media deleted out of sequences.
Why is this feature important to you?
Editors need to stay organized from the beginning. Professional editors don’t edit birthday parties; we often have large quantities of different kinds of media, need to know where it is, need to access it quickly, and don’t need unnecessary things in the way.
Organization exists in one place: the project panel. The less that’s in the project panel, the smaller the project file size is, the faster the project file opens, closes and saves, but most importantly: the easier it is to find what you need, fast.
The reasons for working in multiple project files are endless. When you import a seq from another project, you also get the clips used in it. Often times these clips are already present in the project, which is why you now include a “don’t allow duplicates” checkbox in your import dialogue box (which btw doesn’t work when we’re working with Merged Clips painstakingly built in other project files).
While you might fix that Merged Clips bug, I still don’t know why you won’t just let me clean stuff up myself. Why are you trying to save me from myself? I know where my media is and Premiere knows where my media is: on my drive.
A professional editing program should not try to save people from themselves. It’s why I left FCP for you. You have a great, powerful suite of programs (that I’d pay a lot more for than I do now btw)… but I need to stay organized, not be unnecessarily prevented from doing so.
Please listen to us and make this fix.
