Strange newer FCP version error message when opening project

I'm working on a large (500+ hours) project that I have divided into seperate Final Cut projects so that I can load the sequences without waiting 10 minutes for the masterclips project to open. Lately, when I load the masterclips project it will give me an error message that says that it was made in a newer version of Final Cut. Then, when I restart FCP it will open fine. Does anybody know why it's doing this and how to fix the problem?
I have been copying a lot of media with media manager lately, it has crashed once or twice could that be part of the problem? Also, there are about 20,000 clips about 75% of them are online and they were captured in different capture projects so they are in different capture scratch folders. Is the fact that they are scattered a problem?

If you want, you could send me the project. I''ll
open it and do a save as and zap it back to you. You
should then be able to open it and do a reconnect.
May help. My email is in my profile. If it's too
big to email, you could bring it by my cutting room
(in times square). If you can email it, be sure and
archive the file before attaching to an email.
Thank You
I really appreciate the offer and I may still take you up on that, but can I get the same result by opening it on one of out other editing systems and doing a save as? The files are too big to email and Times Square is a bit far from where we are.
Will reconnecting all of the media to a copy of the project help FCP dealing with badly written meta data for clips that is causing corruption. Is that the idea?
Thanks again for your help.

Error message when opening project.

Hello,
I get an error message when I try to open a project which I've been working on for the last couple of weeks.
It looks like this:
Any tips on how to get it to work again, or am I screwed?
I've tried to restart Captivate aswell as the computer. The file is not an attachment and I've been working on it every day the last weeks, been working just fine. There's still hard disk space left, so shouldn't be an issue either.
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Patrik

I was referring to the Preference option in Captivate to create backup files. Did you have this turned on?
Working over a LAN on any Captivate project file is not recommended because a glitch in the network traffic during a save action can corrupt your project file. This may in fact be what has happened in your case.
When you say the file was "only saved on my hard drive" do you mean that you saved the project file to your hard drive before opening it each time you work on it? If so, this is highly recommended.
Look to see if you have a backup version of your file (look in the same location as the project file and see if you have another file there about the same size with the same name but backup on the end).
If there is no backup file then you may be able to restore the project by using the Captivate cache files.
See this link for instructions about how to do that:

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

Error Message when opening Project Plan on Project Professional from PWA 2013 using either Google Chrome or Firefox

Dears,,
One of our clients uses Google Chrome
as their standard navigator to open PWA 2013 that we have deployed for them.
Every thing went fine until we tried to open a project plan using Project Professional 2013 from PWA using the Edit in Project Professional option, we had the below error:
"Project Web App was unable to find the specified Project.
the project was not found on Project Web App. some possible reasons include:
The Project has not yet been saved successfully to the server.
The Project has been deleted on the server.
you don’t have adequate permissions to open this project.
if the project is available in the local cache, you can click the globe in the status bar and select "Work offline", and then open the project, if the problem continues, contact
your administrator."
Please note that IE is working fine with this scenario,
the belwo screenshot shows the error that appears to the users.

Hi All,
As Gary and Guillaume suggested, have you tried to install IE tab extension for chrome?
See the link below:
http://www.ietab.net/
and also im with what Dale has posted
(why don't you just tell the PM to use Internet Explorer instead of Google Chrome?
I suspect that this problem reveals that PWA does not work perfectly in browsers other than the Internet
Explorer,
so I would simply mandate that all PMs and TMs need to use Internet Explorer for Project Server.
Just a thought. Hope this helps.)
from my side , i have tested it and it works perfect.

Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update. Mac OSX 10.8.2 16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 543 GB Available
I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version). The message is:
This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable. To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image.
Three options follow: Flatten Cancel Keep Layers
When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal. However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should. Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues.
I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5. Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
You said your using shape layers?
If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?

I had to reinstall CS4 and now have error messages when opening bridge and photoshop

The error message is "The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\Version Cue.DLL

I tried what you suggested and it did not help. whenever I try to open either photoshop or bridge, I get a message saying that there was a problem loading scripts the last time that Bridge was open and do I want to try loading them again? If I click yes, I get that same error message that I reported in my original question and photoshop/bridge will immediately close. If I click no, photoshop and bridge will open but it will not let me open a raw format document. It seems like Adobe Camera Raw is not being recognized.   One of the updates I downloaded was an update to Adobe Camera Raw so the functionality is there, it just can't be accessed. do you think I should try to uninstall and re-install Photoshop again?

Can you clarify, if you edit/import video footage with adobe premiere 10 and then create a file, the file or the original raw footage is not stored on computer for re-use, if it is stored, is it stored in the original format.
Also please find details of storage devise,

Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert

Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert disc to continue." My DVD drives are F and D. What do I have to do to get rid of this error?

charkmapman
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
In versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 12, the answer for that type of "No disc" message was usually related to SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 feature. But, there is no SmartSound/SonicfirePro 5 feature in version 12, only Music Scores without the SmartSound name.
Consequently, I would suggest an uninstall, do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts), reinstall.
