Windows CS5 project won't open in Mac CS5

Dear Adobers,
I guess my title says all...
When i try to open the projects on my imac premiere gives me the following errors:
The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable. To open this project, the scratch disks will be set to your Documents folder. Would you like to continue?
Yes offcourse
The project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
I've tried opening several projects either made with CS3, CS4 and CS5...
None of them work!!!
Any ideas, suggestions?
(temporary solution now is too use Parallels, trying this now hoping that will work...)
Thanks in advance!

It told me that some effects arent available in the mac version is that correct?
Yes, that is correct. There are a number of effects and transitions that don't exist for the Mac that the Windows version otherwise does have. You'll probably see something like "Offline Filter" in the Effects Control Panel for any effects that don't have Mac versions. I think they'll just be ignored (they'll obviously have no effect--pun somewhat intended), or you can delete them. Similarly, transitions that aren't on the Mac will just show up as generic transition placeholders without a name; likewise, they don't do anything. If any of these are critical to the output, you'll have to replace them with something available on the Mac.

    I just had a Windows 8 auto update happen and then my Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.

  • IMovie '09 Project Won't Open, Causes iMovie to Crash

    A few days ago, an iMovie project that was fine if a little slow because it was large suddenly started to freeze when I added or tried to edit some audio, forcing me to force quit iMovie. Now today every time I open iMovie and try to open the project, the little rainbow ball pops up and everything in iMovie freezes, forcing me to force quit it again. I removed the project from iMovie and made more space on my computer and iMovie worked fine, but it started acting up again when I put the project back in. I'm worried the project may be corruputed somehow, especially because this is something I worked hard on for a long time now. I've heard there are ways to fix it, such as putting it through TextEdit or Word for Mac, but the project won't open in those programs. (And before you say it, yes I SHOULD have saved a previous version of it in Time Machine, but I didn't.) If there's a way I can fix this project without losing anything, please let me know!

  • Imovie won't open on mac

    So you don't have the iLife 09 disk either? (Can't remember if that was a separate disk or not).
    Hmmm, it'd be better if you had the iLife disk.....
    So, first you need to buy Snow Leopard (call Apple, it's the best price there); once you install it, update it to 10.6.8. That will give you the Mac App Store - you need that to buy Mountain Lion (download only, no disks). You will also want to up your RAM memory toa s much as you can - Mountain Lion is somewhat of a memory hog.
    If you don't have your iLife disks, then a bootable clone on an external drive is an absolute must have just in case. You should do the first one before you install Snow Leopard just in case. Then, once you're up to 10.6.8 and all your applications are updated 9ncluding iLife, make a new bootable clone before you download/install Mountain Lion. Keep that clone safe just in case you need to revert or something goes wrong (especially if you don't have disks).
    Once Mountain Lion is downloaded, first dismiss the installer and find it in your Applications folder. Make a copy of it and put it in a safe place (so you don't need to download it again). Then begin installing; when finished, run Software Update. Hopefully, your iMovie will be updated to the latest version. At that point, I'd make another clone and keep that one updated.
    Having said all that, I'm not sure about iMovie not responding now - since you don't have disks, you can't reinstall it, so I don't know if upgrading will work. Normally one should take care of any problems before upgrading, but unless you want to buy a retail iLife 09 or 11 (which is still available online here and there), there isn't much you can do about installing.

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
    I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

    dchasin,
    You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
    Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.

  • Lost Power - Now Project Won't Open!

    I'm working on an iMac (10.10.2) with an external hard drive.
    I was working on the project and some construction next door caused the power to go out. Now the project won't open. Every time I try to open it, the program crashes. I can open other projects from the same hard drive, just not the project that I was working on.
    HELP!

    IIf that opens, then go into the Original Media folders and look through all the clips and see if they're OK. Any clip that has an actual image that appears in the Finder should be OK. Any clip that has a generic QT icon may be corrupted. See if it will open in the QT player. You can also use QuickLook in the Finder and step through the files in the list to see if the run.
    if you were titling also check through all the Fonts on your system and make sure none have generic document icons.

  • My Robohelp html 8 project won't open after one warning and error message

    I'm currently using Robohelp HTML 8 and when I open my project  I first get the following message:
    After I click OK, I get this error message:
    The project won't open after that. When I look ate my files they seem to be intact even though the message says the folder is missing from
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hi Joy
    Unless I'm mistaken, K would be a network drive, no?
    Unfortunately RoboHelp is only one of a host of applications that doesn't fare well if you try to make edits to a project while it resides on a network drive.
    Try copying the project to your local C drive. Perhaps create a folder named Projects and copy your project to a folder named Primo Intranet inside that folder so it looks like this:
    C:\Projects\Primo Intranet
    Once you do this, try opening your project again and you will likely have better luck.
    Cheers... Rick

  • FCPX Project won't open

    Hi,
    I recently updated my fcpx after doing this one of my projects won't open. In the route project file an additional current version file has been produced it reads as follows - CurrentVersion.fcpproject-journal - Now. When I delete it FCP will open and try to read the project file but it then just wont open fcp at all it just stays on the screen saying reading project.
    Can anyone help?
    Tom

    Interesting…2 of everything.
    Close FCP. In the Finder, go your project folder and open it. Take the "normal-looking" back-up and move it one level up in the folder hierarchy, so it's at the same level as the CurrentVersion file – like so.
    If there is another oback-up (assuming there are two as in the event) take it and the the two CurrentVersion.fcp files and hide them – as Ian recommended – in a temp folder.
    Take a screen shot of your back up file in case you need to change the name back later. Change the name of the moved back up file to CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
    Open FCP and try to open the project.

  • RH8 project won't open

    I have an RH8 project that won't open today while it has opened every day for several months now. I deleted the .cpd file but no luck. What to do?
    By the way, I searched this forum for "RH8 project won't open" and got 0(zero) results. Anyone know why?

    Okay, I see part of my problem. There are duplicate project files
    in different places: in c:\ My Robohelp Projects and c:\documents and settings\my documents\ My Robohelp Projects. Also, the xpj file was in the latter. So I moved it to c:\ My Robohelp Projects. In addition, I compared the list of documents in the two c: areas. I moved the xpj file to the c:\ My Robohelp Projects.
    And there was a folder with the same name of my project within my project file, which is Callout Guide, so it was c:\ My Robohelp Projects\Callout Guide\Callout Guide. I inherited this project and did not want to make any changes at first since the project was generating and working, until yesterday. So with the duplicate folder, Callout Guide, I copied all the files from it into the first Callout Guide folder, which was c:\ My Robohelp Projects\Callout Guide.
    If you're still following me, I believe I have all the files I need in the correct folder. So I opened the xpj file, which opened but is missing all the project files. I know the files are there but I need to point something in the right direction. And all the topics are x'd in red; when I try to search it can't find the file. Here are two screen shots:

    try starting a new project and importing your project using the media browser. if that doesn't work just import the sequences from the project via media browser.
