"unable to open project" Any ideas how I might get it back?

I am not able to open a project i was working on this morning.
I have no idea why. They only thing I can think of is that after I finished
the project, I saved it to one folder in the drive.
Later, however, I changed my mind and decided to move the project to
a different folder. I got a message something about having to log in as administrator in order to be able to transfer the project from one folder to another, which I thought was weird.
So, now, when I tried to open the project from within FCP,
I get "unable to open project."
And I can't find the project anywhere in my computer.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
More importantly, can i bring back my project?
I checked the "Autovault folder, but it wasn't there either.
thanks all!

Look in the Scratch Disk Settings. Look to see where you're autosaves are kept, and see if there's one there... if you change the location of this folder, you end up with one for each location. So do look where they are currently set to save.
If you have none at all, why not? Did you turn off the autosave feature?

All the apps on my MacBook Pro have been transferred to the Trash. Any idea how I might get them back into my iTunes?

I recently noticed that all the apps stored on my MacBook Pro are now in the Trash. This is the computer from which I synch all my devices. I'm not sure what I did to make that happen, but I'd like to transfer them back into my iTunes. I have tried to drag and drop them back into iTunes, and I have tried to right-click them to see if there is a good option. Any ideas?

If the applications have got a IPA extension, they are apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. First of all, open iTunes and go to Applications to check that your applications are still there, because iTunes removes the old app version when it is updated, so you may have an old version in Trash. In this case, you can empty it.
If not, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (in the menu bar) -> Go to Folder, and type:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications
When you are in the folder, open the Trash and move your apps to this folder.

I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner. I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated. Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?

I am very disappointed (yet I somewhat understand) Apple and how they completely have no interest in helping return lost items. I don't believe the person who traded me this was from around here so I don't even know where to begin. I seen on ebay you can sell them for parts but I don't really believe in doing that and would like to at least try my best to get it back to whom it belongs to. I will be contacting my local police department regarding this but I don't think they will be able to do much if it was stolen from somewhere else. However if nobody claims it in 90 days and I have a letter from my local police station saying I am the new owner, will that be enough for apple to unhold their policy of proving the item belongs to you?

Do you have a backup of your iPhone? If so, do a restore and whatever Notes were backed up should reappear.
You will lose any changes made since that backup though.

Hi Raymond,
I am having the same issue. But I can't seem to be able to find my books & PDF's. How did you find them? I am trying to locate them on my iPad.
Thanks,

Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music.

If you deleted them from both PhotoStream and the camera roll, and you don't otherwise have them backed up, they're gone.

I'm unable to download iMovie/iphoto, as i didn't buy the mac brand new, it only gives me the 'accept' button when i try to download, i don't mind purchasing, it just doesn't give me the option. any ideas how i can get around this?

I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on. So i went through all the set up steps when switching it on for the first time.
My problem is that iPhoto and iMovie are not installed, and when i go to the app store the icons have an accept button, it then prompts me for my apple ID, obviously these a registered to the original owner, and says i need that ID in order to download them, or i'll have to purchase them.
I'm happy to purchase them, but it doesn't give me that option, every time i search for them in the app store they always come up with the accept option and no purchase option.
Any idea how i can get round this would be great fully appreciated.

Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.

You can create an Apple ID without a credit card, see this article:

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

My iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error-51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now, my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

You would have to rent it again.
Once started the movie you have 24 hours to complete viewing.
How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.
