Error message "Cannot find central directory" when trying to add file to project

I use SDL Trados Studio 2014 Freelance on a Macbook Air via Parallels.

I recently copied my files onto iCloud Drive due to lack of space. I got an error message saying I had too many files to do this, but the files were transferred to iCloud Drive anyway, however no copies were left on my Mac. I subsequently installed a larger hard disk and used a Time Machine backup to recover my files.

I'm now having constant problems using Studio. The latest one is the above.

Any help much appreciated.

  • When I were you, I would remove all language pairs from the settings, all projects from the projects view and adapt the project templates. Then I would either start new projects or activate old one by double clicking the *.sdlproj file. However, all unnecessary - means ready, finished - projects should not be present in the list anymore. Otherwise the list is too long and gets damaged more often.
    To have the program running smoothly, it is also mandatory to copy all term bases and translation memories to exactly the same path as they were before.
