Logic Project Opening Error [SOLVED]

[sguney]

Hi guys,
I formatted my computer after I transferred my projects to my external hard drive. Then I installed logic again and tried to open my projects which are transferred back to the computer. But Logic keep giving me the same error: " The operation could not be completed, no other information is available about the problem."
Does anyone know what am I supposed to do.

Thanks.

I formatted my computer after I transferred my projects to my external hard drive.

How is your drive formatted?

I dont know much about the hard drives and its formats. How can I check it ?

[jordito]

Just select the drive's icon on your desktop and do Command+i (Get Info). The format should be Mac OS Extended (FAT32 is no good for your purposes)

[sguney]

I checked it and its MAC OS Extended.

[jordito]

OK, good. Your problem is something else then.

Can you upload one of your project files to this thread (just the project file with no audio files) for us to check out? You'll need to zip it first before you can upload it and you do that by control+click the project file and choosing Compress "(project file name)". My apologies if you already know how to do this.

HI

File permissions error?

In the Finder, select the Project folder, and "Get Info" (Command I). Check that your (new) User account has Read/Write permissions

I checked the Read/write settings and thats fine. here is one of the projects with the same problem. I hope you can find a solution.

Your project file got the infamous "@0" disease we saw in this thread:

http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=435061#p435061

Basically "@0" gets appended to the contents of you project file bundle:

@0.png (22.46 KiB) Viewed 1665 times

You simply need to edit those out of the file names (control-click the project files and choose Show Package Contents).

I've attached a fixed version of your Awesome Melody project. Make sure ant other project-related files do not have these @0's appended to their names.

Also, I found this funny message in the OS's console when trying to open your project prior to editing out the @0's:

Can you believe it???

Awesome! Problem solved, projects are working perfectly. Thank you so much

Why did this situation occur in the first place ? Now all the audio files in the projects are bugged and there are thousands of them. So everytime I open the projects logic can't find them due to different name and I have to locate each of them individually...

Did you read that read I linked to?

I read it but I must've missed it... I gues it does have to do something with the WD hard disk, because my external HD is the same brand...

Hi,

I keep on getting the same message when I'm trying to open Logic 9.1.8 on my Macbook Pro / 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 / 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

Something that is worth mentioning is that I'm running the project straight from an external drive (USB 3.0) and it has been working fine for about 6 months but suddenly, two days ago to be exact, I got that horrible message "The operation could not be completed, no other information is available about the problem".

I've been trying to move the project folder over to the the internal drive but when I try doing that it simply says the the information in the file couldn't be written or read error -36.

I am able to open previous versions of the project from my external drive that but as soon as I try going for the latest version I get that message.

It seems like that specific file has been damaged somehow and I have no clue why. My external drive runs on MAC OS Extended.

If there's anyone who could give me any tips or tricks on how to open that project I would be for always grateful... Thank you!

Open a new Empty Project.

Open Logic's Browser on the right and navigate to the Project file that won't open.

Select the naughty Project file and click Import at the bottom right of the Browser.

Put checks in all the boxes of everything you want to import and click Add.

Click on Import Project Settings and put checks in all the boxes of everything you want to import and click Import.

Thank you for the fast response!

I just did this:

"Open a new Empty Project.

Open Logic's Browser on the right and navigate to the Project file that won't open.

Select the naughty Project file and click Import at the bottom right of the Browser."

After clicking on Import i get a message saying "The format of this file is not compatible with this Logic Pro version. Please load first into Logic Pro version 7.2 or earlier to convert the project."

Why would I get this message when I was working on this file in this version of Logic (9.1.8) 3 days ago and I havn't made any changes to Logic since?

I also get these error messages. Very annoying indeed. What works for me is to make a copy of the project in the finder (cmd-D). The copy opens fine.

Anyone knows what might cause this problem and how to solve it?

BTW, it is not the "@0" disease.

Just tried copying the project and it wouldn't let me. There's only a problem with that specific project file. Like I said earlier, previous versions of the project 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc works fine opening but this one, 1.9 just won't work. If there's anyone that has any more suggestions on what to do, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you!

Bill, can you attach your .logic project to this thread (after compressing it in the Finder)? This would allow us to give it a try.
