Project files don't open after Trial Version

After trying the trial version of Final Cut Pro X on my home computer I took the external hard drives to my editor, who has a purchase version of FCPX, but now none of the project files will open.
Does apple put some kind of lock on project files once opened by the trial version? All updates are already installed.
Might anyone have a solution?
Many thanks,
Paul

IIn the File menu. Update Projects and Events. The Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events folders need to be in the correct location to be recognize by the application. There is some information here about updating

THere is a lot more information elsewhere on the web.

  • .pdf files don't open after having download the creative cloud because of a previous trial version

    Dear,
    I used a trial version of acrobat pro for a month. After the trial I downloaded the creative cloud to enjoy all the programs.
    The creative cloud is well installed on my computer but now every time I try to open a .pdf document it refers to the trial saying that it is over and that I should subscribe, but I did!
    I am kind of desperate, I can't open .pdf files.
    Can anyhow help?
    Thank you!
    Lionel

    I am not one to recommend reinstall, but that might be required. One of the problems with CC is that it leaves some info in the system that makes it think it is installed, even after you uninstall it. There is a fix for that, but I don't remember it (right now I am not remembering much with pneumonia). If you decide to uninstall, you should go through the uninstall process (there may be a special uninstall for CC that I have not seen). Then run Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs. Remove any leftover part of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. It may reinstall or you might run into that other fix that is needed. In that case you will have to search the forum.

  • After trial version expired and purchasing creative cloud membership programs still will not open

    I keep getting "trial version expired" even though I have purchased the cloud membership around 3 weeks ago.  I did the chat with someone who had me remove my cache, which did work for me to run Photoshop, but not for Dreamweaver.  I installed a patch for the download manager that did not work as well.  I have installed and uninstalled multiple times with no luck, and now have a project due Thursday!!  Please help!!

    I don't think these issues pertain to mine.  There is something getting mixed up between my trail version (expired) and my new Creative Cloud subscription.  Its like it can't see it for some reason.  I was able to get Photoshop to work but Dreamweaver is being stubborn!! Please help my project is now due tomorrow... !! Thanks!

  • FCE project files won't open. General error message.

    All of a sudden nearly all my project files refuse to open. Even when I try to open previous backups the same thing happens. General error! These files have been ok for at least the last 2 years. What could have caused this and can I get these years of work back? Please help.

    Used FCS Remover and re-installed but still get same result. Except that on first attempt to start FCE, after error message appeared, FCE carried on briefly showing 'Profiling for RT Extreme…' and a percentage. When it reached 100% it stopped immediately. Tried the whole process more than once. The first time an app called File Defense (in demo mode) showed an attempt to write to a .rsrc file when AU Pitch was reached. Have removed File Defense. Also logging in with shift key down to prevent any login items from loading. Logic Express 8 is installed and uses AU files but I don't know how to uninstall it.

  • Opening the trial version of lightroom

    I downloaded the trial version of lightroom for Mac OS 10.6 yesterday and it appeared to be working properly.  Today I am unable to open the trial version.  What is the rpblem?

    Did the program and computer shut down normally?  The first thing I would do is look for a file ending in .lock, usually found next to the catalog.  That file is created to keep more than one user from accessing the catalog at a time and possibly corrupting it.  If the program does not shut down normally for some reason, that .lock file is left behind and the program will think the catalog is in use my another user.  Delete the .lock file (but do not delete others like .journal or .lrcat) and all should be well.  If that is not it, come back and we will try to help you again.

  • Numbers file created w new version of Numbers on my mac and then transferred  via Dropbox to my ipad: file cannot be opened by iOS version of Numbers

    Numbers file created w new version of Numbers on my mac and then transferred  via Dropbox to my ipad: file cannot be opened by iOS version of Numbers

    Hi Jocomo,
    That's correct. Dropbox does not handle Numbers 3.0 for Mac and Numbers 2.0 for iOS documents well at all. They will probably fix this.
    But why are you using Dropbox for this?  Numbers has built-in iCloud integration for the very purpose of syncing documents back and forth.  It's much easier than using Dropbox even if Dropbox could handle the new Numbers format.  And it's now quite reliable.
    To enable iCloud with Numbers on your Mac:
    In System Preferences>iCloud make sure you have Documents & Data turned on:
    And after clicking Options, make sure you have checked Numbers.app:
    On your iPad you need to make sure iCloud sync is turned on in TWO places:
      Settings>iCloud>Documents & Data>Numbers
      Settings>Numbers>Use iCloud
    If you have entered the right iCloud credentials on your Mac and iPad, Numbers will then sync back and forth. It's much easier than putting in Dropbox and then having to Open in... , etc.  You can of course still keep backup copies of your documents in Dropbox if you want.

  • PDF file won't open after saving it from the web.  get error message file is damaged.

    My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web.  I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion? 

    I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
    But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
    CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

  • What program to use to open a trial version of Elements 11

    I am being asked 'How do you want to open this file'? when I tried to open the trial version of Elements 11 for the first time. Options included 'Look for an App'; Adobe Reader; Internet explorer; Notepad; Paint; Windows Media Player; Windows Photoviewer; Word or Wordpad? Which is the best option please? Thanks

    Not sure what you are saying. The actual program is a 7z file which can be opened with any packer program these days like the original 7zip of course but also WinZip and others. If you're referriung to the download assistant, then that is a normal executable, but it requires Flash Player and Adobe AIR to be installed properly on the system.

  • TabPlus, new tabs, don't open after typing in website addresses

    I have used TabPlus (now called Tab Mix Plus) for years; I usually have quite a few tabs open; everything has worked perfectly until FF updated me to FF8, beta. Today, I tried to download & install version 8, newer than the Beta, but that did not help.
    Tab Plus' new tabs, don't open after typing in website addresses; the cursor line to type in the next letter or word remains, blinking. I cannot open anything in any new tab that I have added by pressing down with the right mouse button and clicking on "New Tab (after this tab)."
    As this problem did not exist in any version prior to 8, perhaps the developer has to do some updating. If not Firefox needs to fix some bug.
    I have been with Mozilla FF since its beginning; it has been by favorite browser, but now, out of frustration, I have been using Chrome.
    If you can solve this problem for me, I shall be happy to return FF to being my Default Browser.
    All the best,
    Carole (mhashev, my on-display name)

    Is there a way to control the webpage that new tabs start at?

  • CS6 versions opening as trial version with paid subscription...what???

    I've had a paid sucscription since October and just today all my CS6 apps are opening as "trial versions" some with my previous workspace settings, and others without previous settings. What's going on? Was there an update via Creative Cloud that malfunctioned? I'm not using a 30-day trial copy of the application - I want the apps I'm paying for monthly back the way they were yesterday!
    Is anyone else experienceing a glitch in their service or applications? Why is this happening? All my profile and payment info is up to date - so what gives??

  • Hi everyone, I've had problems with some apps on my iPad. The apps don't open after update

    How do I fix apps that don't open after update?

    Try a hard reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider). Are you still using iOS 4.3.3, as in your profile? A lot of apps now need an iOS of 6 or higher for the update to download.
