Red Media suddenly went offline - Please Help!

Hello,
I am aware that this is a reccurent problem. I remember seeing a similar post last week but for some reasons I can't find it anymore.
Here is my situation.
After months of endless editing of a feature film, I am about to export the final cut and send the project out for DI and VFX.
Today I opened PPCS6 and part of my timeline is offline.
Of course I tried to relink the media, but all I get is an error message saying "Unsupported File / File damaged".
This was an ongoing problem at the times of CS5-5.5,when I was spending weeks trying to understand the origin of this problem. Now it appears that CS6 is having the same kind of issues with RED media (or simply with the red importer).
Here is what happens in details:
When I relink the original r3d files I don't always get the "unsupported file" error. Long clips with more than one segment can be relinked with a little trick.
To give an example:
In the case of long clips, when Premiere asks "Where is A002_C001_100742_001?" if I select the first segment of the file (001) I get the "unsupported file" error.
Although if I select the second or third segment, like  A002_C001_100742_002 or  A002_C001_100742_003 the clip gets re-linked without problems. This makes me feel there is something wrong in the way Premiere imports RED media.
Although the real probelm is when I have short clips, where the camera only generated on r3d file/segment. In that case I get the error of unsupported format, and the clip stays offline. I can't think of a workaround for short clips.
I have the latest CS6.02 version.
This is driving me crazy, and right now 1/4 of my timeline is offline.
Please, if anyone experienced this problem and has a possible solution let me know. I need to export this project and I am currently stuck with no possible solution.
THANKS!

I tried, but Clearing the cashe/cashe database made it even worst, more clips went offline.
Today I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it, now everything is back to normal.
Problem is that it happens very often, not only to me.
It would be great to understand if there is a better solution. Uninstalling the software in the middle of a job made me feel a bit uneasy.

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • Media Offline - Please Help!

    Half of the clips in my video project went offline? How do I fix this??? I am a newbie.
    The only thing that has changed was the scrach folder was because it was claiming it was full, I think by default it was loading into the system folders, I don't know why apple choose that by default. Programs only been installed for 2 days.

    I see you are using 10.8.2, that's going to be a road block as it's not a supported OS working with FCE.
    However I used FCE on 10.8.2 and it mostly worked.
    When you say you changed the Scratch Disc location, exactly what where the steps.
    Files only go off-line if FCE looses the file paths.
    Without some specific info on what you have changed we cannot help further.

  • Pre8 won't link to/recognize files in Media tab of Organizer - please help

    Today I opened a project that I have been working on and it would not link to some or all of the files that have previously loaded successfully on numerous occasions. The project asked me to locate the files, and when I did, it said they could not be linked because they'd been created with one audio track and now had two. However, these were the exact same files that I've been working with, and have not changed them at all. When I did open the project (it was unrendered even though it had been previously rendered) the files were still in the sceneline and timeline and in the project section of the organizer tab, and appear to work in the movie, but do not show up visibly in the media section, where I just get icons but can't see the image.
    This appears to be a problem with my program, because I opened older projects and even created a new one to test with, and same problem with loadng media. It will load, but won't recognize, and when I try to drag into the project,it opens a dialog box asking where the file is, but won't take it.
    The only thing that I did immediately preceding this was last night, I tried to load an itunes mp4 audio file into the project, but it wouldn't take because it said the file type was not supported or the codec was wrong.
    Please help with this. Could the program be corrupted? If so, how can I fix and not lose the projects I have made?
    Thanks, Michael

    Going back some years, I tried using USB externals for editing to/from, but found two problems:
    1.) frequent read/write errors, usually delayed write failures. Many others were having the same problems.
    2.) the speed was so horribly slow.
    I then went with FW-400, and got no read/write errors, but the speed, though faster, was still too slow for me. When FW-800 came out, I experimented with these, and have been using them ever since. Now, eSATA would be even quicker.
    I wonder if you suffered from some errors on the USB drive. I'd first use G-Spot, a free utility, to check the audio in your files, to see how many channels are shown there. If you find that the files are now showing a single channel, instead of two, you might be able to convert the files with a program like Prism, or DigitalMedia Converter, to 2-channel. You'd want to Move your source files to another folder, and then convert to the same file names back in your source folder.
    One tip on using externals: in your OS, you can set your drive letters. These will always be assigned the same, based on the drive's I.D., so that F:\ is always F:\, and G:\ is always G:\, regardless of what else is plugged in, and the order they are turned on. This will keep PrE from asking where is file xxxx.avi, etc.
    Good luck,

  • Adobe media encoder error message - please help

    I purchased adobe creative suite 4 web standard in january of 2010.  I'm in the process of learning how to use all the features.  I am building a website in dreamweaver and wanted to create and import a flash movie.  I opened adobe media encoder from my program files.  I added an avi file to the encoder, chose a medium quality for web, and clicked Start Queue.  I then got the following pop up error message:

  • After EFI Firmware update 2.3, MBP Early 2011 will not boot. During restart it all went wrong please help!

    Hello,
    I've done an ample amount of Internet research to find an answer to this problem however nothing yet found is quite like this. I will start from the beginning.
    I am traveling through Europe, and I normally live in California. When I arrived in Ireland my MBP early 2011 15 inch, began crashing constantly when I had several tabs open on Chrome and maybe one or two low CPU/Memory using applications, nothing the 8gb RAM &750gb hard drive can't normally handle. Thus I began trouble shooting.  I ran disk utility once started up and repaired both disk and permissions. Still crashing. It didn't seem like it had anything to do with a kernel panic shut down, I never would receive the usual message indicating so. After that I did an SMC reset. It was still crashing. I then upgraded the OSX from 10.8 to 10.8.4 believing it could help. It did momentarily, but then crash again. (When it crashes screen goes black suddenly and upon pressing power button does a regular boot on my single partition). I decided attempting to repair using the Internet recovery option but it appeared my MBP had not yet have it installed, so I downloaded from Apple and began installing. Here I made a mistake, I unplugged the power source as it was restarting. When the gray screen and apple appeared, the loading bar shows up as it says it will when installing the update, but when the bar fully loads it crashes every time. I've tried starting in safe mode, which then loads but never goes further (I let it stand for two hours such as that and nothing). Then I decided to allow the MBP to fully charge overnight to give it time and charge. This morning the problem has stayed the same, even with power source plugged in. Please help I need this to work.
    Thank you and please ask any questions!

    Your constant crashing problem is probably some type of hardware fault which no update can fix. Doing the 10.8.4 update and then the firmware update just caused further problems. you need to take thr system to a apple store to be diagnosed and fixed if cost effective.

  • Brand new ipod touch suddenly stopped working. please help!

    I was messing around on my brand new ipod touch and it suddenly crashed. it flashed a static-y black and now the screen is bluish white and won't change. I tried holding both the home button and the black button on top of the ipod and neither helped. I even connected it back to my mac book but nothing happened. please help! i've only had it for two days!

    That sounds like a mechanical problem.  You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue.  If it does not, call Apple.  800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

  • HT201263 I do not want to lose my data/media... Please help

    Hi,
    I just came back from a trip and tried sync'd my iphone to my itunes on my mac. I have been doing this for months to add music and files between both devices. The phone has been telling me for months that I need to buy/add more space, but I was able to get by. I have not done a backup because everytime I tried it told me I needed to buy/add more space. I've already spent tons of money on Apple products and I really did not want to buy more space when I could easily delete files I no longer needed. (Which I did regularly) For strange reason I selected "update" or something along those lines last night (ACCIDENTALLY) and now my phone refuses to work.
    I did some googling and realized this is very problematic. I now run the risk of losing all of the media and images on my phone if I do decide to Restore. Is this avoidable?
    I have another Genius bar appointment at 7:45pm. I fear they will tell me I MUST hit restore and then I'll lose some very valuable images and videos that I've recently recorded/documented. Is there no way for them to back up my files and house them somewhere? Can I do this on my own?
    Please help.

    Apple is not trying to make things difficult and expensive. They have tried to make it as simple as possible by providing multiple ways to back up your device automatically, and have apparently been warning you for quite some time that it was not happening. Finding a fix for that did not require you to purchase any more storage space from Apple, you could have easily set it up to back up to your computer at any time.
    The companies that make data recovery software do not sell it cheaply. Why? Because their target market is people who are desparate to recover what they just messed up.
    Don't blame Apple for your own failures. They gave you ways to back it up. You did not do so.
    What would you have done if you'd dropped the phone in a sink full of water or dropped it down the stairs? would that be Apple trying to make things difficult and expensive as well?

    Everytime i use my ipad, it has a red colour that i cant fix becuase i dont know what it is, please help me.

    This issue has been around for a while, if it is what I think it is. If your iPad screen has a red background, users have been dealing with it and "fixing" it by tapping/slapping the iPad on the back of the device.
