What is the error message "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera" mean?

When I tried to create a movie, I got this message: "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera". What does it mean?
How do I resolve it?

It means that you cannot share something unless it resides on your computer.

Import all clips that you plan to use in your finished project to your Mac before you edit and share your finished work.

This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera.

Has anyone else received this error message
"This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera."
It seems that many people are having trouble with exporting. This is why FCP is saying I can not export. I need a fix in a hurry.

Thanks for responding Tom.
We shot with 4 different cameras and 3 different models. 2 Canon models. 2 - 60Ds and 1 - 5D. The forth camera was a GoPro. I was not at that shoot. All Canon setups were 24P. Again not sure on the GoPro.
The media was taken off the Card onto a MacBookPro and I transferred via external drive to my iMac. No camera was ever attached to the iMac. I am editing on the iMac.
I did start teh edit in a Final Cut Pro X trial version. But I am not sure that it is causing any of this problem.
yes. I have selected Copy Files to Final Cut Events Folder.

When I try and share to anything, I get "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera."

When I try and share to anything such as a File or iTunes, I get "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera." I've tried to consolidate all media but I'm not sure what else to try here. If I remove the memory card from my Mac, then the project/movie I made can't "see" the clips. Any ideas?

Is anything active?

IMovie 10.0.1 - This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera

I have my video media on my HD. I am able to IMPORT all clips from that media folder. My Timeline does NOT show the yellow triangle symbol (indicating offline media). All clips in the event plays properly in iMovie. However, when I try to export the project movie, it keeps saying "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera".
I also noticed that when I quit imovie and re-open imove, some of the clips in the event shows the "Missing Camera" text. This happens every time I quit and re-open iMovie. I have to re-import the clips everytime I re-open iMovie. After re-importing, the yellow triangle disappears and all clips play properly, but still cannot share the movie. Is there a connection between the export issue and this issue?
Very disappointed with this version of iMovie. This type of error should not happen.

Someone else already mentioned this. Share to Theatre. This creates the movies in 1080p, 720p and 480p. It you then delete the theatre movie all 3 versions end up in Trash. Not a solution but it seems crazy that iMovie allows you to render the movie to Theatre but not to anywhere else when it thinks there are items" still referencing media on camera".

FCPX Export issue. Item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera

I am having issues with exporting a project I just shot and I missed my delivery day and am now late. Need help ASAP. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible and stick to the pertinent information.
The Shoot: -2 Panasonic HVX-200's shooting on P2 Media shooting a live event -Dumped footage onto external hard drive via Macbook Pro on set into separate folders for organization using a Panasonic P2 Reader. -All dumps were confirmed completed and all footage accounted for.
The System: -Using Final Cut Pro X 10.1.2 -Mac Pro Tower 2009 quad core running OSX Mavericks 16gb Ram -Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card
The Edit: -2 Camera multicam edit -Imported footage using import media function -Imported from external drive -(important note: a camera has never been connected to the computer for this project) -Edit is finished, about a 2hr 20 min finished sequence (live event 2 cameras switched in post, all graphics and everything is done)
The Problem: -When I go to export via the "Share" function i get an error that says "This Item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera" -Imported footage has the camera logo in the corner meaning that it is referencing camera media; yet no camera has ever been connected.
Solutions I have tried: -Re-importing media with re-import function --Says that the camera is not connected yet I never had one connected in the first place. -Deleting preferences -Biting the bullet and starting from scratch to do a re-edit -- footage will not import without referencing "camera media" -Tried importing via dragging and dropping. Says it cannot importing the following files, lists all of the XML and MXF files -Started a new event, with a new project, with a fresh import; same results -Googled this to death, no solution seems to work, but I'll try whatever I have to; client needs this ASAP.
Questions: -The external drive is not showing up as a camera, so why is it importing as camera media? -Is there a way to salvage my edit and get it exported? I have a lot of hours into this and quite frankly, no time to redo the whole thing.
Please help!

I have had this issue too, and figured a work around. FYI, I rebooted, tried everything imaginable, and still no luck. I opened up iPhoto, and imported all the video clips into iPhoto. I then took the missing video from iPhoto, copied it to my desktop. Then I re-imported the video (same name) into Final Cut. I had to do some slight editing of the video, but everything worked fine, and allowed me to upload the video to YouTube.
Not certain it will work for others, but to recap, try to import the video into another program, then copy the missing video file to your desktop, and re-import to Final Cut.
Hope this helps.

I can't get my project to share. A pop up screen comes up saying, "This item can't be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera". Does anyone know what this means.

I can't get my project to share. A pop up screen comes up saying, "This item can't be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera". Does anyone know what this means. I'm confused because I don't have a camera hooked up to my computer.

may you have directly imported clip to timeline without copying it to local drive..
update project for links and check if missing clips are there..
reconnect it if you have it on local drive..

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!

Get error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading" even when attaching 1 file

I attached multiples .pdf files to an email. Tried to attach the next file before the previous 1 finished attaching. Got error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading". Was never able to attach that 1 file to the email that I received the error message for; was able to attach subsequent files to that same email & send it. Now, I often get the same error message, even if I only attach 1 file & esp. when attaching .ai or .jpeg files. What can I do to fix this problem?

It looks like nobody has an answer for this despite of the 80 something views!
And here i thought Adobe admin would be monitoring the forum, but surprisingly, they don't even have the answer for this!!!

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later. You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back. My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
You may have Numbers '09 installed. Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save. Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

Error Message "This iPhone cannot be used because..."

I am trying to use my iPhone with a new laptop. I installed iTunes most recent version and it works fine.
When I plug my iPhone in, I get an error message: "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."
I have been using my iPhone (and various iPods and iTouches). I have never had a problem plugging them in and POOF, they show up in iTunes. None of them will show up in iTunes in my new computer.
What am I doing wrong?

Is this any good:
