Cannot open FCE 4, pls help!

I use 10.6.8, have installed FCP before, later unstalled it, now try to install FCE 4, but just cannot open it after the installation. Pls help!

If you want it to work, this is how.
Back up your current system disk to a firewire drive using Carbon Copy Cloner.
Erase your system disk.
Install OSX 10.6 and do ALL the system updates.
Repair permissions when finished.
Install FCE and do all the app updates.
Repair permissions when finished.
You will now have a pristine OSX install along with a fully functioning FCE install.
You'll feel like you just purchased a new computer.

    Hello AlexCornejo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode.  Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • I updated the pages software yet I'm still on the previous update and cannot open my files. Help!

    I updated the pages software version 5 yet I'm still on the previous update 4.3 and cannot open my files. Can anyone help?

    Have you checked that you are opening the new version? To check this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and open the Pages app with the new icon, so you will get the new version.
    Your problem is caused because Apple decided to keep the old iWork applications version after installing the new one. The only thing you have to do is to open it from the Applications folder, or drag the new version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly

  • Cannot Open ID File - Please Help

    Hello,
    I was sent a file by a client in InDesign, but when I try to open it I get the following message: "Cannot open (file name). Please update plugins to their latest versions or update to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."
    I tried downloading plugins from the Adobe site, but it didn't appear to do anything. I have 5.5. I'm guessing this file may have been created in 6. Is there any way I can open this file? It is very important. Could anyone help?
    Thank you.

    @Bob...the OP gave the error message.
    @OP, can you have the person you received the file from save a copy as an IDML file? If this isn't possible, can you upgrade to CS6? And if not, you'll need to upload the file to drop box.com and provide a link either here in the forum, or if you need to keep the file private, provide the download link via a private message.

  • HT201407 I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card.  The instruction say to "slide to open" but I cannot open it!  Please help!

    I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card.  The instructions say to "slide the back off" the phone but I cannot get it to open.  Please help? 

    Huh...? Where did you get it? And what instructions are you looking at? The instructions do NOT tell you to slide the back off. The back doesn't come off. The Sim slot is on the right side of the phone. You use the tool that came with it or a paper clip to eject the SIM tray and put your Nano-SIM in it.

  • Trouble with "data transfer" from old computer. Cannot open documents. Please help! Thank you.

    Apple did a "data transfer" from our old computer onto our new iMac, and we cannot open any of our old documents that were "transfered." When I open them in "TextEdit," all I get is a lot of random letters and symbols. I've tried everything, please help. Thank you!

    What old documents, you need to be much more specific. The info we are loooking for is what app created them, what the file extension is etc...

  • IE8 cannot open webpage for UPK  - help!

    I have a UPK which appears to work on everyone elses laptop except mine. I have a Sony Viao running IE8 at default settings and Vista. Everytime I click on the PLAY application IE looks for the localhost and just returns the message 'cannot open webpage'. I've looked through the forums and disabled the google toolbar, the pop up blocker and set privacy at low but it doesn't make any difference.
    I am not hugely technical, so, any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I think it would be best for you to enter a support ticket to have this issue resolved: http://support.oracle.com/

    You need to update iPhoto to a version that works with Yosemite. Download it from the Mac App Store.

  • Cannot launch J2ee server, pls help

    I am not able to launch j2ee server. I have followed instructions in Installation
    file and installed software in correct directories and have set up environment
    variables in autoexec file as follows:
    set J2EE_HOME=c:\j2sdkee1.3
    set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1
    set ANT_HOME=c:\ant
    set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
    When I try the command j2ee -verbose, it gives an error <bad command
    or file name>. Could anyone pls help.
    Thanks
    Sakina

    Yes, When I run path
    it displays c:\j2sdk331.3\bin
    I thought maybe J2EE does not support win98 but I read in this forum that
    someone is able to run J2EE on win98 platform. I really don't know what to do.

  • I STILL can't open FCE :(  I need help!

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased Final Cut Express 2.0 and installed it onto my computer. After running into numerous glitches, I upgraded to FCE 3.5.
    I installed FCE 3.5 and LiveType and Soundbooth both are working great. However, when I open FCE, it begins to open and starts to load. You assume it is going to load in, but then the screen disappears and you are back to the desktop. It dissappears on the splashscreen when something about "AU Pitch" comes up.
    I have deleted the preference files from the library, figuring that would be the solution. However, it seems as if that still has not solved my problem. I also tried Reparing Disc Utilities AND I tried re-installing just Final Cut Express after deleting the files that I thought might have been corrupt. I also tried deleting any thrid party downloads or anything I thought might not agree with Final Cut...but still, no luck.
    Can anybody lend some advice as to what else I might try? If you have steps on how to do these things, that'd be great, too.
    The apple support people that I called said I should come on here, so please do not advise me to call Apple.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    Did you trash the preferences and uninstall FCE EXACTLY as per the instructions in your other post ?
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6309315#6309315
    If you didn't do EXACTLY what was in those instructions you will have wasted your time.
    If they don't cure it you must have something unusual installed on your computer that is causing a conflict.
    As nobody else has access to your Mac, there is no way of telling what that might be.
    You haven't by any chance got FileVault turned on ? (Find it in System Preferences>Security)
    Why don't you uninstall FCE 3.5 properly and reinstall FCE 2 ? This way, if it worked it might suggest there is a problem with the FCE 3.5 DVD. (You will get an error message but you simply press the esc key to let FCE open).
    How did you originally install FCE 3.5 ? Did you put FCE 2 on first ?
    You shouldn't have FCE 2 on an Intel Mac at all. You just install the FCE 3.5 Upgrade ONLY and put in both serial numbers when asked.

  • Cannot Open FCE 3.5, Worked Fine Yesterday Part II

    Mr. Wolsky's response: This message comes up when the application is launched!!! If that's true you need to contact Apple tech support. If it comes up prior to that you need to contact Apple or an Apple authorized repair center.
    Tom - once I have the FW400 connected to the external hard drive and see the LaCie drive is active on my Desktop, I launched FCE 3.5. The "Device Removal" message appears right after I double click the FCE icon to launch and before any messages appear about whether or not the software can locate a camera or scratch disk.
    I called Apple Care last evening (long night) and they discussed the issue with me. The representative said they were unable to help me with this issue because there are departments set up to handle specific applications and that is where I need to go.
    The Rep forwarded me to the area that specializes in Final Cut applications. Once I got there, the technician who answered wouldn't talk to me about the problem I was having without authorizing a charge of $199 to my credit card for this one case or $799 for lifetime case support.
    He said there are "free alternatives" by going on the Disussions Board and talking about the problem there. So here I am full circle.
    As I said in the other post, I moved everything to my Mac HD drive which is not what I want to do, but it's working fine so far and I haven't had any error messages or problems yet.
    I don't want to "give up" on this other issue though, but I'm not paying $200 to talk to someone about this. Was Apple Care wrong to transfer me?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    1) I can confirm the external hard drive is Mac OS Extended. I verified that.
    2) I'm sorry, I don't understand your firewire question. (I'm new to Apple and some terminology is foreign to me) The closest Apple retailer is 100 miles away from my home.
    Yes the problem appears to only happen with the drive attached. Here's the scenarios:
    Drive connected to iMac(FW 800) & Camcorder connected to iMac (FW 400)- FCE will not recognize camcorder at opening. I continue on, software opens fine but I cannot import video or work with camera at all because it's unrecognized.
    Camcorder connected only to iMac (FW 400) - FCS will recognize camcorder, but tells me scratch disk is missing and I have to find it or name another location.
    Drive connected only to iMac (FW 800) - Camcorder not recognized at opening, continue on, not recognized in application if I turn it on and try importing, etc.
    Daisychain Camcorder to LaCie drive (FW 400 into LaCie), LaCie connected to iMac (FW 800) - Drive recognized on desktop and Camcorder turned on, I launch FCE application, Device Removal error message. Unable to locate camcorder or scratch disk.

  • Recently updated ITUNES, cannot open it now, Please help

    I updated Itunes last night. Now it will not open when I click on it. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled with the same results. Any ideas?

    Same problem here - Click to open iTunes and an error box (grey with red X) pops up with the following message:
    "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Please help! It's doing my head in! Advice on other threads is to uninstall QuickTime and install the previous one (QuickTime 7). I did this and it has made no difference whatsoever; same error message pops up. An alternative solution is apparently to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall a previous version. I have not yet tried this - if i uninstall iTunes, won't i lose my music?!
    Apparently this is a common error with Windows XP and Vista users after an update but it has never happened to me before.
    Can anyone help please?
