Final Cut Server Client not opening

So I really new to Final Cut Server (FCS). I have installed FCS on my Xserve as well as the FCS client on my laptop (Did all of that on a local LAN). When I go to my house and try to access FCS client it throws me an error, saying "Unable to launch the application". I really don't know what the issue. Here is the code that is given via java when i click details.

Please someone help me out. I have been trying to get this for a few days.

Try removing the FCSvr client from your local machine and then reinstalling it from the web installer while you are connected via VPN. Run these commands in Terminal to remove it:
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/Java/
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.finalcutserver/
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finalcutserver.plist
rm -r ~/Desktop/Final Cut Server.app
Sometimes my client just won't launch like you are seeing and reinstalling it within whatever network connection I'm using gets it working again.

Final Cut Server Client Download Problems

I am attempting to install/run Final Cut Server client on my laptop and Mac tower. The other day the client software worked well on my Mac tower but today no go. I attempted to install the client software on my laptop, I can get to the download screen in a web browser by typing the address of the local server but when I press download the next page appears but no download or dialogue box appears. Also while wrestling with this problem I deleted the client software from my tower. This same issue is now happening on the tower when I try to restore the client software. Possibly related or not I just updated the software to 10.6.7. but tried another machine I have here that is at 10.6.4 with the same result. I also read an old post that described problems with download initiation and how they can be resolved by deleting a few specific resources out of the Java Preference Cash Files. I completed this process which resulted in no evident change.

I have checked that all apple updates have been applied but can't get around this error. Has anyone any suggestions? We are very eager to get this server running.
Thank you!

Thank You
That solution worked like a charm on the MAC workstations but it still does not work on the Windows XP workstations. Is there anything that addresses that issue?

Im getting and error message (-45075) a required i tunes component is not installed please repaire or reinstall i tunes how to fix this

i keep getting this message " a required i tunes component is not installed please repair or reinstall i tunes(-45075)" i get this every time i open the program and it prompts me to say ok and when i do it shuts the program down i went to the i tunes web site and re down loaded the program and still nothing i dont want to loose my music library

Hi mbelanger1,
If you are still having issues with that error message, you may need to entirely remove iTunes, then reinstall it. You may find the following article helpful:
Apple SupportL: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Note:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and aren't deleted by removing iTunes. While it's highly unlikely that you'll lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it's always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, follow these steps.

Re-installing Qmaster and Compressor on Final Cut Server

I need to re-install Compressor and Qmaster on an xServe which is our Final Cut Server. I'm reading that re-installing from AppleQmasterNode.mpkg will not work, I have to do it from the Install Final Cut Server icon.
I'm wondering what effect, if any, re-installing Final Cut Server on our xServe will have on our client computers that run the Final Cut Server client application.
Thanks so much.
Matt Taylor

If you only remove Compressor & Qmaster by following http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888, then running the Final Cut Server installation will only reinstall those items you removed. If you're on FCSVR 1.5.2, You will also need to run software update afterwards to update Compressor to 3.5.3.

Final cut server-Test Page for Apache installation comes up when IP put in

I have installed Final Cut Server on our Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard. Installation succeeded, but when I type in the IP address of the server in safari, the "Test Page for Apache Installation" comes up. This happens on every computer on the network. I need the client installation window to come in order to install the client. What am I missing, what settings need to be changed?
Would greatly appreciate some help.
Thanks

So when you type in the URL your using this format http://hostname/FinalCutServer, where hostname is the IP address or name of the computer on which you installed Final Cut Server? Especially the "FinalCutServer" part.

Integrating Final Cut Server 1.5 with Active Directory

Following the directions in the Final Cut Server Setup Guide and I am running into errors. Fun with Final Cut Server. Fun with Kerberos.
Final Cut Server v.1.5 is running on an Intel Xserve running 10.5.6 Server, joined to AD. Active Directory is running on a Windows Server 2008 setup.
I dropped the ini files on the domain controllers, as directed by Apple KB (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3688) and I ran the commands directed in the setup guide.
The adprincadd command should be run literally, of course, but there's a mistake straight-away when it should read "./adprincadd.pl", the ".pl" is missing. Also it says "fcsvr/fqdn of fcsvr", so naturally I replaced the fqdn, but the "fcsvr" prefixed threw me off. It gave me errors until I opened Kerberos.app and notcied that the kerb ticket was in ldap/, then the command worked for me. At least no errors, until I checked the ticket and it said I had no permissions and that the keytab entry was invalid. Wheeee.
1. First I tried:
(some info redacted)
node09:sbin root# ./adprincadd.pl -dc dc01.example.com. fcs.example.com.
Getting kerberos principal for computer account
Kerberos principal is ---
Getting computer id...---
Getting AD Domain...---
Base DN is dc=example,dc=com
getting kerb ticket using [email protected] got ticket
SASL-bind to dc01.example.com. successful
Computer record is at CN=---,CN=Computers,DC=example,DC=com
Checking to see if ---.--.---. exists...000020B5: AtrErr: DSID-031529F7, #1:
0: 000020B5: DSID-031529F7, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINTATTTYPE), data 0, Att 90303 (servicePrincipalName)
at ./adprincadd.pl line 165
2. Then I noticed the /ldap in Kerberos.app and changed the adprinadd command:
Everything ran well, with no errors...
Finding kvno...2
Reading /etc/krb5.keytab...done.
Creating new keytab file...done.
Writing out temporary keytab...done.
Making backup of old keytab and moving new keytab into place...done.
Operation Completed. You can verify with "kinit <ad user>; kvno -k /etc/krb5.keytab ldap/---.example.com"
3. Verifying with kinit gave me the keytab errors:
kinit matx; kvno -k /etc/krb5.keytab ldap/fcs.example.com
Please enter the password for [email protected]:
ldap/[email protected]: kvno = 2, keytab entry invalid
kvno: Permission denied while decrypting ticket for 'ldap/[email protected]'
Thoughts?

Hello, I'm having issues with the client login after AD integration. I followed the steps from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3818 and the Terminal output reported a success.
I'm able to add AD groups in Final Cut Server Group Permissions. However, when I try logging in on the FCServer client using credentials associated with AD group I've added, I'm getting an error message from the client stating:
"Please re-enter the username and password or contact the server administrator. Please note that the username and password are case-sensitive."
The FQDN is correct in the Server field of the client.
I'm able to log into the client using locally created user accounts that I've created on the server so I know the client is communicating correctly.
The only thing I can find in the Console for the client machine is this:
11/25/09 10:50:12 AM /Users/*/Desktop/Final Cut Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Server[1773] Warning: accessing obsolete X509Anchors.
In the server Console, this is a suspect message: /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Server/Final Cut Server.bundle/Contents/MacOS/fcsvr_stored[77891] pps proxy error: dsDoDirNodeAuth = -14091
Not finding much info out there regarding this. Any guidance is appreciated.

Recently upgraded my Java to Java SE 6 1.6.0_33; now Final Cut Server won't launch due to security restrictions. Help!

Running OSX 10.6.8, and I received a Software Update notification this morning stating that Java has a security update available. So, being the dilligent updater that I am, I updated to Java SE 6 1.6.0_33. Now Final Cut Server will not launch, stating "Unsigned application requesting unrestricted access to system"
Is there an exception list somewhere for the Java client to which I can add FCS? (Sorry, I'm not very familiar with Java)
Here is the launch file and exception info:

Aha! I was able to solve the problem thanks to the help of another editor.
Open Java Preferences (Applications > Utilities)
Click the check box on the first page to allow web applets
Under the security tab, there will be an existing Security Certificate (signed by Apple Inc.) that is likely for FCSvr. Delete the certificate.
Open FCSvr again, and Java will prompt you as to allow it or not. Click Allow and tell it to remember for future use.
Badabing, badaboom! FCSvr is back up and running!

Final Cut Server and Mountain Lion

Ok, so I have been trying to get Final Cut Server to work on Mountain Lion Server, and I have been so far following the path that has been set forth here...
http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/installing-final-cut-server-on-lion-mountain-lion-se rver/
I have gotten through all of the steps except for the last one, which is concerning the "0000_any_80_.conf" file. My problem is, that this file doesn't exist at all on my system. In my /etc/apache2 folder there is no /etc/apache2/sites folder. I don't know what the junk is up with that. Neither the folder or the .conf file exist. I don't know if I'm just stupid or what. Don't know much about setting up apache. But in my Server app, "Websites" is up and running. Final Cut Server is even up and running in the System Preferences. I just have no way to download the client app. Has anyone else had this problem?

And the file
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
In mountain Lion is
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf

Final Cut Server and Compressor / Qmaster serial conflict

On my Final Cut Server machine, i have Final Cut Server version 1.1.1. On my Mac Pro i have Final Cut Studio 7. I have installed Compressor and Qmaster on my Final Cut Server from the Final Cut Pro DVD, so i can use Qmaster (the version of Qmaster must match exactly on all machines). But the two serials conflict, Final Cut Server will not start due to the following problem:
"Either the current serial number is not valid or there is another server using the same serial number.
Check the serial number and then stop and start the server using the Final Cut Server Preferences panel."
Of course both serials is completely legit. Is it really true that i either need to downgrade Compressor and Qmaster (FCS will work, but Qmaster will not) or buy FCS 1.5? I have paid lots of money for this setup already, it can't be true that i am forced to update to 1.5.
Please Apple, a solution?

I have a similar case. Maybe someone knows how to solve it:
We installed Final Cut Server and on the same MacPro we installed Final Cut Studio.
After a while we dedicated this machine to Final Cut server and used the Final Cut Studio license on another nachine.
Now, if I want to change or add a transcode setting in the compressor, I'm getting the error message: 'conflicting serialnumber' or something like it.
So compressor thinks it's still part of th FinalCutStudio installation. But I don't quite understand, because Final Cut Server has its own compressor, isn't it?
How can I solve this without loosing the custom transcode settings I've made in compressor.

Rough Cut Editor for Final Cut Server

Hi everyone,
we are working on a Rough Cut Editor for Final Cut Server.
I'd like to know what you think about it and put a short video about its usage on my site at
http://www.andre-aulich.de/en/perm/consol-rough-cut-editor-video
Any feedback would be very much appreciated!
Regards,
André

Hi guys,
in addition to getting in touch with you personally, I'd like to answer some questions in public:
LAN vs WAN
==========
The RCE in its current form is primarily built to be used in a LAN.
This is because you need both the Final Cut Server client as well
as the RCE client to connect to a central server using the ports
3000, 80, 8821, and 8891.
In addition, we currently suppose the Edit Proxy folder to be an
edit-in-place device, so you need to open port 548 if you use AFP
for that. We might change that, but you still need the FCSvr client
to connect to your server.
That said, we currently consider the RCE to be run in a local network.
FEATURES
======
We are not planning to build a server ingest app, as there are other guys
building these kinds of apps.
A standalone version of the RCE without Final Cut Server connectivity would
be easy to write, yet, we like to use FCSvr's proxies for preview, as this way
low bandwidth (meaning non-Fibre Channel) to the viewing stations is
sufficient.
So today there's the RCE in its current form...
AVAILABILITY
===========
We are doing our final testing and hope to release the app within
the next two weeks.
As we need to install some tools on a server and have a look at its
environment, we would currently install the RCE ourselves, usually
through a remote connection.
Yet, we already consider having selected partners to implement the
RCE as well.
Currently there's no beta program being planned, as we do our
testing at a customer site, where we hope to evaluate the app
quite comprehensively.
I hope that answers some questions.
For more questions, please feel free to get in touch with me.

Small Office Network Solution for Final Cut Server - Proxy Storage Etc.

Hi,
I haven't been able to find any answers for this question by googling, So I would love if anyone here had some advice. I have the 10 License version of Final Cut Studio with 5 clients at the moment. I would like to set-up our office in the most effective way, however we are a non-profit organization, so we are working with a limited budget.
My question is, does anyone know of any networking solutions for Proxy Storage and Media storage, that wont bottleneck, but is not as high budget/high tech as using an Xserve/XSan system?
Right now we would be looking at running Final Cut Server off of our 24inch Intel IMac (Going to beef up the RAM). We have a Gigabit Switch, 4 more intel machines running final Cut pro, and a direct attached Drobo for Media Storage. I know this is not an Ideal set-up, but it's what I have to work with right now. So, I'm looking for any kinds of tips and tricks to make this set-up work for us, and am looking at purchasing either a Network Attached or iscsI storage system for the Proxy Storage.
I hope this is a decent description of my situation, and would love some advice.
Thanks Very Much,
MacNomad

Quicktime Export Components in Final Cut Server

Our company has purchased a number of Elgato h264 encoders and we're loving them. They reduce our h264 compression times on average from 15-20 mins down to 2-3 mins. It usually compresses our videos faster than real time. Which as a news organization is great for us. These encoders work great on all our Macbook Pros & Mac Pro systems. I've now installed one onto our final cut server and set up a custom compressor setting. Under the 'encoder' tab the file format had to be set to "Quicktime Export Components" instead of "Quicktime Movie" to use the Elgato. And it works great when I send a single file threw compressor. BUT I can't get this custom preset to show up or work inside Final Cut Server. I have other custom settings that do show up and work (but they are all "Quicktime Movie" file formats). I've rebooted multiple times and looked under multiple Responses transcode settings, but the new one I've created to use the Elgato never shows up.
Is it possible to use Quicktime Export Components in Final Cut Server?
I couldn't find any mention of this in the FCS admin manual or any other posts in the forums regarding this.

I have seen on MediaSilo.com a tip to get Elgato H.264 working with Compressor, but I can't seem to be able to find it. Basically, the trick was to create a duplicate setting in Compressor that Final Cut Server is able to read ( not as Quicktime Export Component), associate it with a Final Cut Server's compression setting and later reassign that setting in Compressor to Elgato.
I will keep diggin' for this tip, it was actually a screen recording.

After installing Final cut server client on OSX 10.6.8 error: Apple QuickTime or the QuickTime Java component is not installed.
