Project will not open....help!

I have Premiere pro cs3....I have several projects I am editing all of which will open with no problem.One of my main projects that I have been working on for the last 3 months will not open! I closed it last night after working on it most of the day yesterday. Premiere shows the project loading bar all looks ok...then Premiere shuts down...no warning dialogue nothing....just back to the windows desktop.....I have tried opening previous versions from auto-save with the same results...tried deleting the media cache with no result....any ideas anyone? I really dont want to start the whole project from scratch
thanks for any help

Close your project. Rename the folder with your source clips so as to "hide" them from PPro. Open your project and select "offline all" when PPro asks where the clips are. Does your project load?

AE Project will not open after program crashed

AE project will not open after program crashed. I tried opening the project inside another project so I could at least get to the sequences but it would not load. Nothing seems to open the project. I can create new projects. I am on PC

Well, bad news for you: It's a goner. Simply write it off and re-create it and next time learn how to work safely.

From where did you download Premiere Elements 9 at this late date? What computer operating system is it to be running on?
Do you have the 9.0.1 Update installed?
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
Are you getting any display card errors?
We have just gone down this type of road with another 9 user, so let us start with what finally seems to have worked for him.
What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Is the driver for that card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of that card? If not, update the card driver. If the driver is up to date already, then delete the BadDrivers.txt file.
For now I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path shown. After you deleted the BadDrivers.txt and reopened Premiere Elements, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file but now the problem should be gone.
Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome.
The rationale behind deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file can be found in post 10 of the following thread

Premiere elements 13 new projects will not open.

Premiere Elements 13 new projects will not open.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
Has the program ever opened to the Expert workspace or the Quick workspace?
Some of the typical drill questions:
1. Does the problem exist with and with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Do you have any other security programs
on your computer?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator in a home computer in contrast to a school or company network?
3. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
5. What video card/graphics card does your computer use and is the driver version up to date according to the
web site of the manufacturer of the card?
How far do you get...Welcome Screen, Video Editor, New Project or elsewhere? Any error messages?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

Projects will not open from external drive

I have been creating and saving my projects to an external drive for sometime now. When I tried to open it recently, it recognizes the Lacie but it will not recognize the projects. When you look on the Lacie it's self all of the files are there but when clicked on they still will not open.
Please help I don't know what to do...

Yes, I did select the external drive when I created the new projects and they were working up until yesterday.
.. and on 'top level' of drive, there's a 'iMovie-Projects' folder containing your project?
excluding some Voodoo: your project's name does NOT contain 'bad' characters as ; : / | \ . … ?

My Skype Will Not Open, HELP

Ok, I need help, this problem happend a couple weeks/months ago but I dealt with it up until now, my Skype will not open I only see a Skype Window when I log out, but only a tiny fraction of it, I tried Restore, Maximize, and move but none of these help, I tried looking for other help on here but none matched my problem, if someone can please help me, please do, none of my friends can help me, I have a feeling that my Skype window is somewhere off of my screen, somewhere I can't see it...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have Win 7.
The latest Skype version 6.11
when I turn on skype I don't hear that creepy start up sound. sometimes I do. when I try to change my status it won't let me. it just don't do anything.
when I try to call I don't hear the calling sound. no one can see/accept my calls. I can't accept anyone's calls either.
when I try to call someone and try to hang up it won't do it. it just keep calling. no ringing sound at all.
when I try to quit the icon sits on the task bar (it says signed out). alt/crt/del doesn't show that Skype is runing so I can't close it at all. I have to reboot my PC to actually close it.
everything worked fine until last Sun 12/5.
I deleted completely from the PC, unistaled, and instaled. it won't work. not even older versions.
I have a laptop with Win Vista with 6.11 version Skype - and it works perfect.
I have another PC with Win7 (my son's) - with Win7 and 6.11 verson Skype - it works
it works fine on Android Tablet and iPad.
I have done nothing that could do what it did.
Do you think that that latest change of gadgets could harm Skype?

I noticed that since that was lost my problems on THIS computer started. It's really REALLY frustrating!
Please help!
thanks

Aperture will not open- HELP!!!

Can anyone help me? Aperture will not open and I'm worried that I will loose over 35000 photos. When I try to open Aperture this is the message I get:
There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/philcammarata/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed?
Looking forward to hearing from someone.
Phil

OK good, version 2 on Mountain Lion would be dicey.
Do you have backups of the library? If you don;t now would be a good time to make one.
The first step is to run the Aperture library first aid procedures. Hold down the option (alt) and command keys while starting Aperture. This will open the first aid window. Now select and run Library Repair.
Once it is done post back the results.
Good luck

Premiere project will not open

The night before, I went to save my project in Premiere but was taking to long to finish saving. I went to be and when I woke up it had crashed while it was still saving and was no longer responding. I had to close off Premiere, but now it will not open. I think the project file is too big. While most other Premiere projects I have range from around 1-500 Mb, this file is 6.6 Gb. Is there something I can delete outside of the unopenable project that will reduce the size of this file? What can I do to get this project back up and running as soon as possible.
-I'm working off of a Mac with 8 Gb memory and a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor.

The Auto-save files also crash the same way the main project file crashes. I get a serious error message that I can't read fully because it disappears as soon as it pops up. Attempting to import the project with a new project also crashes Premiere and gives me the same serious error message.

Premier Pro Project: Created on one External Hard Drive, Transferred to Different External Hard Drive, Project Will Not Open

Here is my problem listed in simple steps:
I created a project in Premier a couple years ago on a G-Raid mini external hard drive.
I backed up my project folder on a LaCie external hard drive.
The G-Raid mini hard drive died.
I cannot open my project from the LaCie drive.
When I attempt to open my project, I get 2 error messages:
First: "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable. To open this project, the scratch disks will be set to your documents folder. Would you like to continue?"
I say "Yes"
Second: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I say "OK", and that's the end.
My understanding is that the problem has to do with the fact that my original scratch disks were created on the G-Raid mini hard drive, and that Premier will not open my project because the code for my .prproj file directs Premier to a hard drive that is not connected. I have tried to edit the code in TextEdit, replacing the name of the old hard drive with the new one where the code reads:
<project.settings.lastknowngoodprojectpath>
This did not work. I also tried changing the name of my new hard drive to match what the "lastknowngoodprojectpath" reads as in the code, but that did not work either. I have searched high and low on the internet for someone who approaches the types of error messages I receive from the perspective of trying to open the project from a different hard drive, but I cannot find anyone who is specifically giving advice about this. Any suggestions?

I doubt that the error concerning the sequence preview preset file or codec has anything to do with the scratch disc location.
Here are two posts specific to the second error message:

Project will not open. blank screen after load

I have a pretty major issue, I just finished a rough cut of a feature film and I decided to change my hard drive drive letters so they were more organized. Now premiere pro 2014 (up to date version) will not open the project properly.
The file loads then it says looking for media then that goes away and it sits at a blank screen forever.

My iBook project will not open. It is saved as an .iba file.

I Am in the middle of making an iBook project but it will not open. It is saved as an .iba file. When I go to open it it says it can't be openEd is there anything I can do to open it?

Your post says you are using iMovie 08. In iMovie 08, a Project must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder of the startup drive. You can move it there in the Finder.
For Events, it sounds like the other Mac sees them. Hopefully, you moved them to the external drive from within iMovie. If so, once you move the project to the proper spot, all should be well.
If you upgrade to iMovie 09 or iMovie 11, you can have the Project files on the external drive as well.

Particular mobile project will not open view mxml, run is blank

I use Flash Builder 4.6 with Air 3.6 updated adb for use with Android 4.2.2. When trying to use a develop a particular application, I encounter all manner of problems. The project contains only one mobile view, and the view will not open correctly in Flash Builder; I get an icon that the application is working, but it keeps spinning for at least 60 minutes. The project no longer runs; it just gives a blank screen.
I have all of this under revision control, and I have run the present code before, though I am not sure with what version of Air. I have tried deleting the files and reimporting them from revision control. I have deleted and reimported the project. I have killed and restarted Flash Builder and rebooted the machine.
I have submitted to get an upgrade of Flash Builder 4.7, but this is highly frustrating. I have no idea where these problems are coming from, and it's very disturbing that Flash Builder won't even open a view (which is just a text file) in the editor. Ideas?

I've upgraded to Flash Builder 4.7, and I can now work all of this out. Having a functioning editor has allowed me to find the other problems.

App update page will not open,help.

When using the app's store update in which it says there is 3 updates, the update page will not open, just a blank page, can anybody help?

There is a problem with Apple’s servers that only they can fix. The problem has been going on for several days. You can try rebooting first and see if that gets the apps to show up in the updates tab.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
This is a workaround only and not a fix. If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
Select update on the Apps
Hopefully the red notification number will go away after the updates are applied.
Another option is to update your apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the updated apps to the iPad.
1. Launch iTunes
2. Click on Apps in the list under the Library heading in the left Sidebar.
Click on Updates at the top in the window on the right
Update all of the apps
Connect your iPad and Sync with iTunes
If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.
