Apple Color won't preview clips properly and Motion crashes on startup. Do I need a new video card?

I have a 2009 8-core Mac Pro (2.26Ghz) with a GT120 graphics card. I use Final Cut Studio 3 frequently, and up until recently without any hitches. Last week, Color started previewing clips as black with touches of red (I'm assuming a readout of the clips colour data in some form)  and therefore I can't grade any clips as I can't preview them. On top of that, two days later Motion started crashing on startup. Seeing as both programs rely heavily on the graphics card all I can deduce is that something's wrong with my card and it needs changing. Anyone else had any of these problems and come to a solution?

Is there an add-in video card in the slot? If so, remove it and try to turn on. If the problem is the video card it will turn on. If not it is the power supply.

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

  • My Apple TV won't set the date and time! What can I do???

    My Apple TV won't set the date and time! What can I do???

    That means it's having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly. DNS should be set to automatic. Ensure router is up to date, reboot all devices. If on wifi try ethernet.

  • Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Is the AppleID listed in Settings --> Store and Settings --> iCloud the same?
    If it is a totally different ID and not a slight variation of yours, I would definitely take it back to the store. You may have bought a returned item that had been setup previously.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD.

    I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD. Also, I can not afford an expensive camera and need some advice on which of the available cameras would be best and also work well with a Mac. One last issue, I currently use a Panasonic #CCD camera that takes a tape. When I load video to Final Cut the audio and video are out of sinc. Go figure. Can anyone help with these questions. Karen

    Hello Karen,
    If you are using Final Cut Express, then look for camcorders that are AVCHD camcorders.  Look especially for the AVCHD logo and specific mention of AVCHD in the specs.  Most of the major manufacturers produce good quality camdcorders - Canon, Sony, etc.
    Also, be aware that there are a lot of "not quite AVCHD" camcorders on the market (sometimes they say they record video as MPEG4-H.264/AVC) - buyer beware!
    Most everything you are going to find on the market today is HD, which stands for "high-def".
    Regarding your question about the Panasonic camcorder, it's best if you post that as a separate question, and please identify the specific model camcorder and the Easy Setup you are using in FCE.

  • BIOS And new Video card

    So i am buying a new video card MSI GTX 970 and my PC is an h9-1300ex so i was wondring if i need to update bios or anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi, Your PC should be able to run the GTX 970. Open up your PC and check the auxiliary PCI-E power connectors and make sure that your PC has the correct plugs based one the GTX 970 model that you plan on using.

  • Apple tv won't recognize my password and or id

    Trying to setup my Apple Tv. I won't recognize my password and/or ID. I logged on to apple to reset everything and got a confirmation email.
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What type of wifi security are you using.
    Does your ID or password have any unusual characters.
    Are you getting any date/time errors.
    Is this the first time you have used the Apple TV.

  • If I change my Apple ID, can I get my iTune and App purchases transferred from the old to the new ID?

    I have a child who is now of age to create an Apple ID.  If I create a new Apple ID, can I tranfer the iTune and App Store purchases from my existing Apple ID to the new one for my child?

    No, it's not currently possible to transfer content from one account to another account - all items remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so they will remain tied to your account.
    As long as your account is authorised on the computer's iTunes that he/she syncs to, and those items are in its library, then he/she should be able to continue to have them on their device (though only your account will be able to download updates to those apps)

  • CS4: PPro and Encore crash upon startup!

    I have been using CS4 for a long time with no issues, but yesterday PPro and Encore started crashing upon starting up.
    The screen for either one will load up, but in PPro the timeline pane will be ghosted and the system will just freeze if I click on anything in the PPro window, including the menu. Encore does the exact same thing as far as crashing if I click anything.
    I have not installed any new programs and I shut down as many background tasks as possible, as I have always done.
    If I reboot the computer after a crash, I get a popup window telling me that PhotoshopServer.exe has caused an exception, blah blah. I have NEVER had that before this crashing started.
    I uninstalled the entire CS4 suite and reinstalled it. The installer kept giving me errors about some components not being installed correctly, so I ran the Adobe Support Advisor and it sent me to a link that instructed me to remove the Color Profiles. I did this and the installer continued with no further issues. I then installed all patches up to 4.2.1 with no issues. BTW, I did shutdown all of my antivirus/antispyware/firerwall programs first and copied any missing color profiles back to the Windows directory, as instructed without overwriting any existing ones from the new install.
    I started the new installation for the first time after a reboot and shutting down everything in the background... instant crashes AGAIN!
    I'm running out iof ideas and I have no idea what went wrong after using this suite for so long with no issues.
    Here's my computer specs:
    Asus Rampage II Extreme mobo
    Intel Core i7-920 @ 3.0 GHz.
    3x1 GBs Kingston HyperX Tri-Channel 1800 MHz. RAM
    2 EVGA e-GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1 GB boards in SLI
    2 WD 500GB SATA hard drives in RAID 0 (boot)
    2 WD 500GB SATA hard drives in RAID 0 (storage)
    PC Power & Cooling 1.2Kw PSU
    Windows XP (32-bit) SP3 with all updates current.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated -- I'm pulling my hair out here!
    Bill

    It's probable that the Canon drivers are to blame rather than Adobe. The change in behavior may be due to another piece of software (driver, automatic update, etc) installed that now results in the Canon drivers loading into a different address space where whatever they were already wrong now has a negative consequence. Could also be related to the Canon drivers not dealing properly with ASLR (address space randomization feature in Windows) but that seems likely.

  • Changed a setting and iTunes crashes at startup

    iTunes has been running trouble free for months on my pc running Windows 7 Pro, until today.  Earlier today, I went into iTunes preferences, playback, and clicked the box to turn on volume leveling.  Then, as soon as I clicked on ok, iTunes crashed, and it crashes every time within a second or two of opening.  The top, center of the iTunes window reads "Determining Audio Volume" and "Analyzing 1 of 440: Hold Me Tight"  The Problem Details in the "iTunes has stopped working" window are:

    I don't know what to do to get iTunes to stop crashing.  I have uninstalled iTunes, downloaded and installed iTunes.  I've tried opening iTunes in safe mode (control and shift).  I've tried opening iTunes with the Alt key pressed.  I've tried moving my iTunes music folder to a different directory in order to 'hide' it from iTunes.  None of these things changed the crashing.
    I'm hoping someone will reply with a fix for this.  Thanks.

    Hello jsolo53,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Even though you have already reinstalled iTunes, I'd like you to completely uninstall the application and its supporting files by following the steps in the article below, and then do a reinstall.
