Saved Logic 9 projects will not open.

Hi all, wondering how many other people are running into this issue. Basically ever since I upgraded to Lion, none of the projects I save in Logic Pro 9 (updated to 9.1.6) will open when I double click on them. Logic will launch just fine to my default template, but it tells me that the project I wanted to access cannot be open. If I leave Logic open, I can open the correct project from the file menu, as well as by right clicking on the dock icon and selecting it.
But no luck just opening them when Logic is not running first. Anyone else seeing this?

Hi
Apple seem to know about this issue, but you say that you are running the latest version ?!

Some images saved in Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6

We have confirmed that some files saved from Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6. This is due to a bug in Photoshop 6, not in CS.
These files open correctly in Photoshop 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 7 and CS on both platforms.
The solution is to upgrade the copies of Photoshop 6 to Photoshop CS.

Hi sig,
I actually did try reinstally Photoshop - even reinstalled my operating system. I looked for the file "Adobe Unit Types" and see that it is indeed there in the ScriptingAdditions folder. But I still cannot open the tif files.
I should also mention all my tif files have the .tif extension on them (in case anyone suggests that's the issue.)
And, this problem is the same with Illustrator CS .ai files as well.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

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.

Premiere elements 13 new projects will not open.

Premiere Elements 13 new projects will not open.

thomasK
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.

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.

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.

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...

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....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?

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.

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.

Logic Express 8 will not open Garageband 3 files

Is this a known issue or user error? I can navigate to the files but they are grayed out and will not open. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thank you so much. Dragging the file to the icon and dropping it there opened the GarageBand file right up. I wasn't able to use the tweak listed in the preferences section (ie: deleting the com.apple file as recommended) since the file doesn't exist in the first place. I wonder if there's a more stable fix on the way?
And for my peanut gallery comment - would be nice to "save as" a garageband file, too.
Thanks for your help.

Logic opens but projects will not open or load

Logic 9.1.8 and Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Logic will open -
Prompts me to create a new project... when I create a new project - logic remains open and doesnt hang - but the UI will not come up...
If I try to exit logic it asks me if I want to save my project...
I have deleted com.plist files... still nothing
Thoughts?

Create a new project and then press cmd + 1 and see what happens..
Press 1 (without the command key) if Cmd + 1 doesn't do anything...

Projects Will Not Open

Ok, I will start this sad story from the beginning. When I returned home from Xmas holiday I found my hard drive crashing. I took my Mac and all my software disk to a guy that has always done me right and he began to salvage what he could off the failing hard drive. He was able to get off about 4 movies. I have taped my kids’ life since 1999, so I lost a lot.
When I got my computer back (with new hard drive) I opened the movies that I have and they ran fine in iMovie and QuickTime. Yesterday I sat down to begin the process of rebuilding my movie library from DV tapes I have. I imported about 4min. of movie into a new project, saved closed and went to open one of the few old projects I had to look at it again and I got an error 'could not open the project you chose'. I had just opened this same project about an hour ago. I then went to open one of the other old projects and it opened fine. So I went to open the new project that I had just started and it gave me the same message 'could not open the project you chose'. So at this point I am confused, I go to open the old project that I just viewed and now it gave me the message 'could not open the project you chose'. Then I go to the files under Movies. I see that the projects all have their 3 files (Project file, Media, and .mov). I then double click on the .mov files and QuickTime opens and plays them fine. So I go into the Media folder and drag media files to QuickTime and it opens and plays fine. Then I drag the project files to iMovie and I get the message 'could not open the project you chose'.
I then open iMovie by starting a new project, because one by one my old movie projects have gone from working to not working. I build a new project and save it after a few clips. I close iMovie and then open it and wow it opens with the new project I just built. Now I am confused, I add a few new clips then close iMovie. I reopen iMovie and get the message 'could not open the project you chose'.
So over several hours and several new projects iMovie has failed to make a project that will open, and it has opened and then destroyed my old projects. Again I can dump the .mov file or the individual clips into QuickTime and they play fine.
I am using QuickTime 7.04
iMovie 3.0.3
And I am not sure if this is the version that I built the old movies in (remember they played some in 3.0.3 for awhile then broke???)
And now I have even a bigger problem, I deleted iMovie 3.0.3 to reinstall it from my Panther disk I have and I cannot find a way to install iMovie from my disk. So now I have several broken movies that have always worked fine in the past. And I cannot make any new ones because I now have no iMovie.
I am not an expert at this stuff, but over the last 7 years I have made about 80 10 to 20 min. videos and never had a problem until this HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Can anyone help?

You seem to have a lot of different problems on your hand.
First of all, don't you have the original tapes? (You should keep them, you know.)
Second, don't you have any backups? Have you ever thought of fire, theft, flooding, hurricanes, ligthning, tornadoes. Or even "mundane" things as a crashed hard drive? You should have at least one full, verfied backup off site.
Anyway, how is your hard drive formatted? (It must be Mac OS Extended)
http://danslagle.dvmix.com/mac/iMovie/usage/5006.shtml
iMovie 3 is so full of bugs, it's amazing you managed to use it for so many years. See if you can get your hands on an iLife '04 package.
iMovie was never part of the Panther discs. It may have been part of your (usually gray) software restore discs you got with your Mac.
Hope this help to at least get you started recovering.
Post back with your findings.

IMovie Project will not open

i have a project i have been working of for weeks. today i went to open the project in iMovie and the sould would not play, the red indicator line stayed stationary and nothing happened. when i went to the Event Library, i could see the clips and the indicators that they had been imported. When i attempted to play the clips in the event library, they would play but without sound.
I quite iMove and tried to repair permissions, now the project refuses to open. the issues i mentioned in the event library remain unchanged, but the project refuses to even open.
i moved all files to an external HD and reopened iMovie. iMove identified only one project, but can't tell which one but it would open play. the Event Library had two files with the movie clips, but only one had the identifers of an import into a project. Both of the event libraries would now play the clips with sound.
I quite iMovie and ejected the external HD then relunched iMovie. the project that remained still would now not open or play and the sounds and the event library clips had no sound. i could see the green indicators of sound in the meter but none came out of the speakers.....this seem to be the only project effected and it had just over 2 hours of movie time in it.
I am running iMovie 11 (version 9.09 build 17950) on a macbook pro running OSX 10.8.3, 2.2 Ghz Intel Cor I7, 4GB RAM

this was the post i found, i wish i could give this guy the credit on his post, so cut and paste of it was the next best thing. As you can see from the post date, nearly 3 years later and the issue still exsists. I don't think it effects many of us, but is worth knowing.

Re: Help - iMovie doesn't react anymore
Jun 13, 2010 2:32 AM (in response to John Cogdell)
I had a heck of a time today trying to figure this out, spent about 12 hours. This string helped me the most. I had to go a few steps further to get a total fix for iMovie and my project and thought this might be useful for others who have similar problems w/ iMovie. I have been working on a particularly large project with many, many clips in one Event Folder. Today all of the sudden the sound and playback wouldn't respond when I hit the space bar, I couldn't view anything at all in the window viewer, eventually iMovie wouldn't open at all, and all I would get is the spinning beach ball. Had to force quit a hundred times. What worked for me was: 1. Freed up some space on my hard drive by pulling other events (which were not tied to any completed movies) to external HD. This may not have anything to do w/ the fix, but I ain't leavin it out after what I went through today.
2. With imovie closed, found where the Event Folder and associated Project I have been working on were saved on the hard drive...in my case I had them saved on the ext. HD. I highlighted the Event Folder and Project File separately, right clicked on each and moved them to trash. Remember-you are not deleting them by moving them to trash, just do NOT hit "Empty Trash". (If you drag somewhere else other than trash it will only create a copy and can take longer)
3. Followed John's advice above by going to User Library>Preferences folder and dragging the files named com.Apple.iMovie7.plist, and com.Apple.iMovie8.plist to my desktop. For me at this point I was able to open iMovie and navigate through my other events and projects. Space bar worked for sound and playback, viewer worked, iMovie running pretty efficiently.
4. I then went into my Trash folder, right clicked on the Events Folder and Project File separately and selected "Put Back" which places them right back in former location. I closed iMovie and re-opened.
What I found is that iMovie was not responding well because I had too many clips in one event folder. And with those same files now back in iMovie it will not take long for it to start acting funky. So I broke the event into 3 folders. While in iMovie I created 3 empty Event folders by clicking on File/new event (you might just need 2). I titled them Sports 1, Sports 2, Sports 3. Even though I still couldn't play or hear the Event clips/ project clips for this project, I was able to highlight approx 1/3 of the EVENT clips (not Project clips) by holding down the shift key and pointing the arrow/cursor across the appropriate clips. With the Sports Project back in iMovie, your Event folder should still show the green and orange highlights for your "favorite" and "imported" clips and should allow you to copy only those clips to the new, empty EVENT folders. Once I had highlighted and dragged the Event clips across 3 new event folders I was back to normal...can play, view, and hear all Event Clips and the Project clips. Best of all, I didn't have to re-start my project - of which I have spent a lot more than 12 hours on. I hope this helps someone. Thanks to all on this string for pointing me in the right direction.
