Trying to open Premier Pro 1.5 PC file in Premier CS3 on Mac... help! pLEase!

I have an old demo for my business that I'm trying to add to, and insert new footage. This version was last done in Windows XP on a PC with Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5. I'm now using a Mac and want to be able to open this with Premiere Pro CS3 on my mac, and edit with all elements in place as is. Is this possible?
The error message says it can't open it and to consult the manual, which I don't have with me while I'm on the road traveling.
I would be SO grateful if anyone is able to help me out.
Warmest Regards,

Let's see if I can get this right. Pr through 6.5 was X-platform, and then with PrPro 1.0 (often called PrPro 7.0, or Pr 7.0 - yes, confusing), Pr went to the PC platform ONLY. Then, with CS3, PrPro became X-platform again. What this means is that if a Project was created with PrPro 1.0 thru PrPro 2.0, it was ONLY on the PC. To Open one of those Projects on the Mac, one must find a user on the PC with CS3, and get them to Open that Project, then Save (would do a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy to keep the original intact), and then Copy that CS3 (converted) Project to the Mac. The trick is finding a person with CS3 on the PC, and asking for help. If I had CS3, I'd gladly do this for you. Regardless of what some ads might indicate, PC-users are really nice people. There should be some PC-users with CS3, who will offer to help you. The process is very simple, takes but moments, and the biggest issue is just getting the files (not really THAT large) back and forth.
Were it me, I'd Copy things over to an external (note: to be X-platform, that must be FAT-32 formatted, and could prove to be an issue with the ~ 4GB file size limit) HDD, with everything on it, then ship that off. If one just works with the PRPROJ file (Project file), there will need to be some Asset re-linking, but that is not the end of the world.
Good luck, and if you do not have a PC friend with CS3, wait for some offers to pour in.

PS - BTW - where do you reside, as that might make things easier?

Trying to Open PSE 9 and get Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error Message HELP please! :)

Everything worked fine until I paid and downloaded a program called Rad Lab that works in Photoshop Elements. I got that downloaded and then tried to open PSE and it won't open and I keep getting this error message.
I've attached a screen shot of what the message is. Also Adobe ran an update on my computer and it came up with an error message as well. Adobe Photoshope Elements 9.0.3. Update- "Patch cannot be applied. Please contact customer support"
So I called customer support and the wait time is over 1 hour so here I am on this forum trying to get some answers! If anyone can help I would appreciate it so much!!!
Thanks!

Well, uninstall that RadLab thing, reboot and see if PSE then works.

Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening! Help!

Hi Monika,
I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested. I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows. Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs. I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool. I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat. Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number. After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed. I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner. The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me. Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
Would appreciate any help you experts can offer. If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

Tried to "Open As" in PS a NEF file I modified in LR. Got the following error message: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file." I can "Open" the file in PS, but then the changes I made in LR (and saved in the associated meta data file with the "Control S" command) are not applied to the opened PS file. HELP!

If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Crashing when trying to open a project / forgetting where media files are

I spent all day manually locating hundreds of missing 'offline media' in a project, saving as I went. Premier Elements crashed when this was complete, now I try to open the project after rebooting and it either cannot find them again or crashes when trying to open the project. Anyone got any clues as to how I can fix this?

alex peatfield
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
How long has this issue existed?
Are you moving, deleting, renaming files and folders that go into a project after the project has been saved closed?
If you have source media stored on an external hard drive, determine if the external hard drive is malfunctioning, including if its drive letter
changing.
Lots of drill questions...
a. Running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
b. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
c. What are your computer resources and is your computer optimized?
d. What are the properties of your source media that are involved in this issue?
e. Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at those locations?
f. Do the problems exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

FW CS6 internal error while trying to open or import CS5.5 psd file

Just installed CS6 and I'm trying to open a psd file, I see the preview of the file but cannot open or import it, I get the error message.
Anyone can help me? thanks!

Have you tried saving the psd file in Photoshop with legacy support (Maximize Compatibility)?
If you received this psd file from an external source, it may be a Photoshop CC file. It may not be compatible with Fireworks at all. Or perhaps the psd file is corrupt - try opening it in Photoshop, and resave.
Unfortunately Fireworks' development was stopped last year by Adobe, and it is dead in the water by now. I would not expect a lot of support on their side anymore.

I am gettin an error message when trying to open a contact: "There was a temporary problem accessing your address book. Please try again in 10 minutes."

I am using an Yahoo Email and I can open a list of contacts but getting an error message when trying to open any of them. My OS is Windows Vista Service Pack 2 installed on a desktop.

Does this issue occur on another browser? If this issue does occur on another browser then I would like to say that it is a Yahoo issue and not a Firefox issue.

I have been having this problem since the fourth of this month. I tried to open iTunes and this error came up: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes error 7 windows error 126". If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Can't open Logic Pro 8 (or earlier) files

I just installed Logic Pro 9 and if I double click on one of my Logic Pro 8 composition projects, it launches Logic Pro 9 but doesn't open the file. Has anyone else had this problem?
(I can open the projects up by launching Logic Pro 9 and selecting File > Open but always found it much quicker and more intuitive to do it the other way.)
Even if I save a piece as a Logic Pro 9 project, double-clicking on the file won't open it... Any ideas?

I found a strange thing:
Logic is closed. In Finder double click on logic project file. Logic opens. The project does not appear.
Choose File > New...
Immediately close the New window.
The original file you wanted to open now begins to open in Logic.

HT5037 I am trying to open my iPhoto, but it tells me I need to upgrade. Help?

I can't opne my iPhotos. It tells me I need to upload using the Library Uploader. I download as instructed, but it doesn't seem to download. I can't open my iPhotos. Help!

Okay- so here's the long story!
Perhaps this will help.
My computer crashed a few months ago.
We got a new hard-drive.
I tried to open my iPhoto for the first time and go some message about it being "locked". I no longer get that message so I don't remember entirely what it said, but I followed to directions to "unlock" it.
Now, when I click 'iPhoto" on my dock, I get this message:
To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.
To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple.
then there is a "learn more" button.
When you select that, it takes me here and this is where my discussion started. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037
I followed the steps to upgrade from previous versions- see my comment above, but I get stuck from 8.1.2 version to what appears to be the next one up from there.
Does this help? I hate computers and simply want get my photos back from Carbonite before the crash happened. I'm freaking out because I have 4 years of photos from the birth of my son. If I can't get iPhoto working, I have no idea how to get my photos restored.

How to open Nikon D5300 Raw files in PSE 11? [was:Help Please]

With My old Nikon D90 Elements 8 would open raw files OK I now have a new Nikon D5300 and when trying to open a raw file it tells me that it is the wrong type of file Help Please
Andy

There isn't a generic nikon raw. Each camera has its own raw format and the camera raw plugin has to be updated every time a new camera comes out. The D5300 requires ACR 8.3, which is only compatible with PSE 12. So you have three options:
1. Upgrade to PSE 12.
2. Use the nikon software to convert the files and send the converted images to PSE for any further editing.
3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to create dng files that your version of camera raw can understand.
