Transfering FCX files

I was trying to transfer a halfway done video in final cut express from my iMac to final cut express on my Macbook (for travel purposes) but when I tried to open the file in final cut express on my macbook it said File's format is too new for this version of the application. What can I do? Both versions of final cut express are from the same program (same age) and both computers are the same age. So I don't understand how the file could be new. Anything would help!

You may have run Software Update on one computer and not the other one, so the FCE version may not be exactly the same.  Try running Software Update on the MacBook.

  • While transferring several files to the G-Raid, the G-Raid device locks up with the following warnings:   "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in (whatever file) can't be read or written (Error code - 36)."

    While transferring several files to the G-Raid, the G-Raid device locks up with the following warnings:   "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in (whatever file) can't be read or written (Error code - 36).” NOt sure this is a G-Raid problem, can anyone help?

    This is likely a problem with the drive itself. This error indicates unspecified I/O errors with the drive, which can be from a hardware fault, or a formatting issue. If the drive has valuable data on it, then try connecting it to another PC to get the data off, and then try fully partitioning and formatting the drive with Disk Utility. If this corrects the error then you should be able to use the drive again as it was likely a formatting issue, but if the problem continues then it is likely a hardware fault and the best solution is to be safe and replace the drive.

  • USB key ejecting itself when transferring large files

    I have a LG 16G USB key formatted in MacOS extended (journaled), I've been encountering a particular issue when I try to transfer files taken on another computer and copying them from the key to my Macbook pro ( OSX 10.6.2). after it start transferring it ejects itself with the "the disk was not ejected properly" message, then reappears right away in the finder...
    the problem doesn't present itself when I copy a file from my macbook pro to the key, and then try transferring it back to my computer. and I've tried this with both small files (under 200mb) and large files (over 4G).
    I've also noticed the transfer rate is very slow when this happens.
    so far the problem only presents itself when I transfer files from one of the MacPro's in my university's studios, but since I work a lot on these machine, this is becoming quite a problem. I don't have the complete specs of these machines, they all run on Leopard, probably 10.5.something. not SL... perhaps that's the problem?
    I've seen similar post on the forum concerning this issue with TimeMachine backup drives, suggesting it had something to do with the sleep preferences, however I've tried all the potential solutions from these post and the problem persists.
    So far the only solution I've found has been to transfer the files to my girlfriend's macbook (running on tiger), and then transferring the files in target mode from her computer to mine... quite inconvenient...
    I have a feeling this might be due to the formatting of my key, I have a 2G USB key formatted in MS-DOS (FAT32) and have had no problems with it so far. The reason I formatted in Mac OS extended is simple, I work in the video field and with HD I find myself often moving around single files larger then 4GB, which I've come to understand isn't possible in FAT 32.
    I'd like to know how to resolve this, and especially like to know if it is indeed a format issue, since I'm soon going to acquire a new external hard drive for the sole purpose of storing my increasing large media files and would like to know how to format it.

    Hi,
    I have an external USB Card reader (indeed - two different readers), which have the same problems with self-ejecting disks. Every transfer of data from SD card from my camera is the pain now. There is many different themes related to the self-"the disk was not ejected properly" situation, but no working solution now.

    Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
    How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
    If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
    See this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.
    http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkee26bc1
    Save photos to your computer using iTunes
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
    Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
    Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
    Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
    To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.

  • Transferred .3gp file from Curve to PC Have video but no sound

    Hello everyone! First post here and I am hoping that the BB experts could help me.
    I recorded a video on my BB and wanted to transfer it to my Windows 7 PC.  I was successful transfering the file via bluetooth to my pc.  However, when I play the file (.3gp) in Windows Media Player I have no sound.
    Any ideas?

    You need an updated codec for media player or try it with an updated version of quicktime
    or try VLC which seems to have it all.

  • I transferred PPT files from a windows based pc (microsoft PPT 2003), at first my macbook was able to run all animations in file, after some time it stopped running it, partly because i "switched on" something since this is my first time to use a mac ?

    i transferred PPT files from a windows based laptop to my macbook, at first it was able to run the animations in the file no problem, its my first time to use a mac also bythe way, so i started downloading freebies like the VLC, FLIP4MAC, and other plug-in players, would it be because of this downloads that my mac now cannot seem to run the powerpoint animations any more ?

    I don't think vlc would affect powerpoint.  What were those "other plug-in players" you downloaded? 
    I'm not that familiar with powerpoint so how are those animations played?  Are they windows media player files?  If so then flip4mac might affect them.

  • I have transferred Word files from my PC to my new Mac Book Pro and some of the files cannot be clicked on and opened or even deleted because you can't select them. There are a variety of document files and pdfs etc. Any ideas ?

    I have transferred word files form my PC to my new Mac Book Pro. Some of the word files are feint and will not open as you cant select them. Also you cant delete them either because the cursor wont highlight or select them. Any ideas anyone?

    Have you tried looking at the file in list view in the Finder and seeing if they actually occupy any space? i.e. "Size"? There shouldn't be any problem with Office documents, Adobe pdfs, etc. If they migrated properly - did you use Migration Assistant or some similar utility?

  • I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files.

    I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times Since upgrading to iTunes 11 and Windows 8. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files. Three times. Beginning to lose my temper. Advice? Suggestions? Could the fact that my original library is located on a network drive have anything to do with it? Thanks for your help, all.

    Repair security permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7/8 shouldn't be too different.
    Repeat for the media folder if it isn't a subfolder of the iTunes folder.

  • Function module for transfering a file contents into another?

    Hi all,
       Is there a Function module for transfering a file contents into another?That is the whole content from a file to other??
    Regards,

    Hi,
    I think there is no such FM. You need to read the data in internal table and then write it in another file.

  • HT2518 If I am transfering my files from pc to mac, do I need to make sure the appropriate programs are already installed on the mac before or after the migration?

    Just bought a Mac Book Pro w/Retina display.  Will be transfering all files from my pc to the mac.  Also will be installing Paralles and Windows 7 to run quickbooks.  At what point do I do the data migration?  Install the software that I need first and then copy the files?
    Any help on this would be appreciated!

    Install the software then migrate the files. Documents can't be opened without the software on the drive.

  • Just transfered M2TS files from PC to new mac, not able to run them in final cut? any ideas?

    just transfered M2TS files from PC to new mac, not able to run them in final cut? any ideas?

    FCP doesn't like mpeg2 transport streams. You might give ClipWrap a chance to do the conversion. They have a free trial. If it works, the full version is something like $50.
    Good luck

  • Can I find the date when I transferred some files to someone else's pc?

    Hi, have a MacBook Pro but don't really know how to use it!
    I need to find out the date when I transferred some files to someone else's computer. Is there an area with some sort of history of actions where I can see what I did?
    thanks for any help
    M

    (Woggledog, I think the OP is trying to find out the date the files were copied from the Mac, not to the Mac.)
    If you are trying to determine when you transferred the files +without access to the PC that they were transferred to+, you are out of luck, I'm afraid. There's no log for that information. If you can access the PC the files were transferred to, the created/accessed dates on the PC will reflect the move. But I suspect you can't access that computer, which is why you're seeking a log of some sort...
    How did you move the files? If you used a flash drive, for example, and still have that, check there...even if the files were deleted from the drive, they may be recoverable.
    Hope this helps...

  • An error has occurred while transferring this file - MuVo v

    Hi, I recently purchased a MuVo v00, and am in the process of putting some music on it. I put a number of songs on it yesterday, and after noticing it still had almost 300 megs free, I decided to add some more. However it will now not allow the addition of ANY songs. Any I try to add, it fails to do so, giving me a "an error has occurred while transferring this file" message. Even when I attempt to rip directly from my cds to the device, it gives me this error.
    I've checked that all my software is up-to-date (using the automated update feature with the software I was provided)
    I would appreciate any help with this.

    I have exactly the same problem with my MuVo? .5 GB!
    I know that i had once about .GB of mp3s stored on it, however, I deleted all of them to upload a different mp3 collection. Now when I upload files to the MuVo, it stops when I have transfered about 450 MB. However, Windows-Explorer and Creative Media Source both say that there are still 900 and a few MB left, but when i try to copy a file - again "no space left on device".
    I tried to:
    delete all files, try transfer again - same effect
    run scandisk - no change
    format the player from the rescue menu - no change (whatever this does, this is not a real format, more a quickformat)
    updated to the latest firmware - still no change!
    I'm kinda really pissed now, I spent quite some time googling, but didn't find anyone else with that problem.
    So .. where went that "space"? Would it be usefull to re-format the player using the Windows format tool, like suggested in that thread (with the settings from that thread):
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=400
    I started to do that, but since it was *very* slow and the disk was seeking a lot (battery eaten up after about 20 mins!) I stopped the process.
    Maybe I will try that afain tomorrow, but *somehow* this can't be the real solution. Whatever the MuVo does here seems not to be standard behaviour, since scandisk reports the dri've to be OK. Would it be possible to re-partition the MuVo? I guess thats not a good idea, since I believe that the firmware is somewhere on the disk, too.

  • Having a hard time transferring photo files

    i seem to be having difficulty transferring photo files from my cannon image browser program to iphoto. the cannon image browser software came with my camera and for some dumb reason i have been uploading my images with it, but now i have come to realize how slow and clumsy it is. i am trying to get rid of it all together but don't want to lose my photos. i have tried creating a new file on my desktop and then manually moving photos to it and then transferring them to iphoto. this has worked a few times but now and error message shows up each time saying i dont have enough space on my hard drive to complete the import. i can't simply drag items out of the cannon browser into iphoto for some reason. this has become highly frustrating. please help.

    What is your hard drive capacity and available free space?
    Just like iTunes, iPhoto by default (I believe) copies a chosen photo for import to the iPhoto library - does not just transfer it from one location to another but there is a preference setting for this.
    To confirm, are the photos selected for import into the iPhoto library and successfully imported still available in this folder? If so, there are now two copies of each photo imported - one in the folder and another in the iPhoto library.
    At the menu bar, go to iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced and next to Importing, deselect "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library"

  • I transferred my files, including iTunes, to a new computer. When I go to sync, it says I'm still synced with the old, do I want to erase and resync. AND then it says not enough space. What to do?

    I transferred my files, including iTunes, to a new computer. When I go to sync, it says I'm still synced with the old, do I want to erase and resync. AND then it says not enough space. What to do?

    Pictures, assuming they were taken with the device, can be copied off at any time.  This has nothing to do with syncing.
    If the pictures were instead synced to the device via iTunes, they are not the original images.  Instead, they are optimized copies of the originals for display on the iPhone.  There is software that can extract them, google it.
    Where is the backup of the computer?  And before you ask, the iPhone, like all iDevices, is not and has never been a backup device.
