Protools doesn't want to open a session from external firewire hdd ;/

i bought this western digital my book hdd which can be connected via firewire. i read that protools recognizes only firewire hdds, so it seemed the best choice.
my macbook mounts the external hdd and everything works perfectly well. but the main issue is, that i can't load protools session-files from that external hdd :// instead protools says something like: " this session is saved on a volume set to "transfer" only....go to workspace and change it to "playback" or "record"!!
but everytime i trie to do so a window pops up telling me that: the hdd can not be designated as an audio playback volume because it is not a valid audio volium!!
i have no idea what is going on:/ it is supposed to work via firewire. can pls someone help.
p.s. i know that this is maybe the wrong place to post protools questions but iam shure u guys can help me =)
thx

oh i think that it is FAT32 formated. :/ ****..
i will reformat it..but will i be able to like save movies and other stuff on it as well ???
thx for ure help =)

My upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 was deleted by accident. The 2nd download doesn't want to open?

In Aug I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12. It worked fine but this week someone worked on my PC and deleted it by accident. Now I downloaded it again but it doesn't want to open?

If your program is Photoshop Elements 12, you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow you thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

While you do that something to think about....putting on my Photoshop Elements 12 hat for the moment...
If you have Photoshop Elements 12 and are in its Elements Organizer 12 and you want to edit of of the Elements Organizer 12 photos in the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, I do not
find any right clicks in that maneuver. Have you tried...
1. Select the Elements Organizer 12 thumbnail for the photo
2. Look to the bottom of the workspace to where it shows an Editor button. Click on the tiny triangle to the right of the work Editor in the button.
You should then get a pop up menu with choices of External Editor, Photoshop, Video Editor. click Photoshop. Does that work to get
you into the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor workspace to edit that photo?

Zabanya,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
http://www.illustrator.fixtoolbox.com/
As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

My iphoto froze...doesn't want to open. What do i do?

My iphoto froze...doesn't want to open. What can i do?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
Replying to Toad-Hall:
I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11. Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos in iPhoto 11. Nothing

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
in iPhoto 11. Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank.
And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6 to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
Please advise. Glenys

This may be of help to you:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

I want to open a project from premiere pro on my mac

I want to open a project from premiere pro on my mac,the project was edited on a different mac originally.
Some of the sound from the clips are missing and all the clips are there but when go to a clip in the timeline and press enter it is just black.
Please help!!!!!!
P.SIt also askes for RENDERED MFX FILES????

You may have to go to the original computer and go to the project manager which will let you gather all media to a single folder. Then take that folder to a new computer and edit away.
As far as black clips. If the media IS located but it shows up black during playback this might mean the file is damaged. This happened to me yesterday and when I opened the file outside of premiere it would not play at all.

TS2430 my iphone shut down. it doesn't want to open. what do i need to do?

iphone 4s shut down while my son is playing. i tried to on but it doesn't want to work. i need help.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until it begins to start. Usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes. It may turn ON itself, if still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, it may take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

Want to open specific file from DMS Doc. thorugh Function

HI,
is there any function module to open specific file from DMS Document. ?
There is already one function module DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT to open File from document. But
in case of there are more than one file in DMS Document is it giving me Popup menu to open file from List.
I just want to open any single file without any popup from DMS Document.

Hi,
from standard point of view this kind of pop-up is always raised by the function module in case there are multiple originals assigned to the document info record.
Best regards,

Opening imovie project from external hard drive

I get this message: The project “last duly noted” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?
How can I edit this item?

Hi Harmless - I do not think that your problem has anything to do with the external drive. Your project must have been crreated on an earlier version of iMovie - iMovie 4 perhaps, and contained in a standard folder. It can be upgraded to an HD project - best to use a copy for this, just in case....!
When you upgrade, it will firstly be converted only partially into the new version, so you have to take another step to fully convert>
Here's a comment about what should happen:
"A project created by iMovie 5 is a special kind of folder called a package. It looks and acts like a file. The package contains all the files and folders you see, but they are all hidden inside the package. To open the project in iMovie you double-click on the package.
If your project looks like an iMovie 4 folder instead of a package — so you can easily see inside — my guess is it's probably a project you've converted from iMovie 4 to iMovie 5. Converted projects do not look or act like true iMovie 5 projects. They contain the same files/folders but are stored in a conventional folder, just like iMovie 4.
That's not necessarily a good thing, for a user can get inside too easily, and open the project by double-clicking on that tilde file. If you do that, iMovie opens the PREVIOUSLY-saved version of the project. And when you next save, iMovie creates a second tilde file. Then a third, then a fourth. It's all too easy for the user to get confused, open the wrong project file and create quite a mess.
So it's a good idea, after converting a project from iMovie 4 to iMovie 5, to do a Save As to save the project into a new project. Then iMovie 5 builds a true iMovie 5 project that looks and acts like a real iMovie 5 project. Lots safer, and it works better." (as described by Karl Petersen)
So, you should experience no problems if you follow that advice - go ahead and convert!

Preview.app is extremely slow opening 500 jpg from external HD

Hello everybody,
yesterday I wanted to open a folder of approx. 500 jpg-Files from an USB-HD for a slideshow. I switched to the folder and opened all files in it (only jpg) via Command-A, Command-O.
Preview.app took several minutes to load the images.
After I copied the folder (1,27GB) to my internal Harddisk, the same process took a glimpse of 2 or 3 seconds.
What's wrong with the opening from an external source?
Why does Preview.app open all Images at once instead of opening them when being switched to during the slideshow, and why is the same process so much faster when loading from an internal HD?
Can you recommend any other (free) slideshow apps?
Thanks for any comments

Andreas, you seem to have at least partially answered your own question. review won't play a Slideshow until all the images are loaded, and from an external drive connected by USB it takes 3.5 minutes for you to load them.
If you just want to play a slideshow of the pictures then you do not need to use Preview at all. In a Finder window, select the pictures you want to include, Control-click and select slideshow. See if this plays immediately…
…Actually, I just hooked up my Firewire external and tried it. The slideshow played immediately.

Opening up photos from external drive

When I open up pictures using elements the screen comes up asking what program I want the open up the photos. When I click on Photoshop, my screen goes down and back into to screensaver. I would like to have the program open right up with the photos. There is a box up top asking do you want to use Photoshop to use this program all the time. I did click that and now I am going to check to see if Photoshop will open with the screen get media, but I am open to suggestions, Thanks ahead of time, Pete

Seems I answered my own question, you must check that box telling Photoshop you are the only one I want to open my photos, I am getting it, slow, but baby steps
