Compressor and Motion don't open... may be because of Shake...

They were working before I: a) downloaded trial version of Shake, b) downloaded the trial of Parallels for Mac or c) downloaded latest versions of software updates. Have Final Cut Studio Academic...cleared out the pref settings for compressor and Motion.
Your thoughts? Thanks...

a) highly unlikely
b) very likely
c) doubtful
what have you done to troubleshoot this? how about clearing parallels or repairing permissions or......
trashing the preferences for compressor or motion isn't gonna do anything for this. it's a conflict with software and my guess it's parallels causing the problems.

    Hey, rookie mistake - thought it would be best to get a second opinion (or group of opinions) - so I actually triple posted (also in the Compressor group).
    Anyway, I reinstalled FCP and Motion works now - Compressor still crashes but I'm not concerned about that for now...and that would fall into THAT discussion group, if I'm learning my netiquette correctly

  • I have LR 4 and now I cannot open the software because I get this warning: light room cannot start because it cannot create files in the temp file location.. C:/windows/temp. How do I fix this? I have removed and downloaded LR and even used by disc and st

    I have LR 4 and now I cannot open the software because I get this warning: "light room cannot start because it cannot create files in the temp file location. C:\windows\temp\". I think I need to have LR open in a different place but I have no idea how to do that. Any help is most appreciated.

    Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
    cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
    that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
    thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
    chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
    original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
    memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
    software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
    would open up with my current problem.

  • Audio and video don't open together in viewer when double clicked

    Hello everyone!
    I'm having an annoying problem... it isn't something terribly important, but has decreased my work flow speed. Recently, I've had some trouble opening clips from the timeline in the viewer with the double click.
    If I double click the video portion of the clip, even if both the video and two audio tracks are highlighted (and are still linked) only the video portion of the clip will appear (along with "filters" and "motion" tabs) in the viewer, and similarly when double clicking the audio tracks, though both video and audio are highlighted, only the audio tracks and "Filters" tab show up in the viewer. Additionally, once the item is double clicked at the left with the jigsaw pieces that can be used to set video and audio destinations, if I've clicked on an audio portion so only audio shows up in the viewer, only the jigsaw pieces for the two audio tracks (a1, a2) are visible, video track (v1) is no longer present, and vice versa.
    I'd appreciate any advice that you all have! It's really driving me batty, in addition to not knowing what I did to make it that way, I can't figure out how to change it back!
    Heather

    Thanks for the advice.
    The clips already appeared to be linked, and the selection "link" was checked, however when I unlinked and then relinked I found that the audio and video would open up at the same time in the viewer... problem apparently solved! However, the clips I had been working with I had to nudge audio and video a few frames apart (out of sync) to get the audio and video to line up. (gives the little red box with a +or- number in it on the clip).
    When I unlinked and then relinked, the clip lost those red boxes and went back to being synced (as far as FCP is concerned) with the audio and video unaligned.
    So, the problem appears to be coming from when I move the audio and video of a clip out of sync... why is this? Is this something I'm just going to have to deal with?
    Thanks

  • Numbers and Pages don't open files on iCloud

    In the open dialogue window, I have two spaces: the iCloud space and the 'On my Mac' space. I can't open any document stored in iCloud. I can move them on the desktop of the Mac (so removed from iCloud) and THEN I can open them (… & edit & save). I can put them back in iCloud. However, again, I can't edit them if stored in iCloud. OS X is updated to 10.9.2, Pages is 5.1, Numbers is 3.1, all in French. Also, there is no problems with these documents on my iOs devices.
    Am I the only one to have this trouble?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Click on icons and they don't open

    I am trying to open QuikTime Player to burn a DVD and it isn't opening after I click it.

    I am trying to open QuikTime Player to burn a DVD and it isn't opening after I click it.
    1) The QT Player does not burn DVDs. If you need to "author" a DVD, use iDVD instead. If you need to burn a "data" DVD, create/use a "Burn" folder or the Disk Utility app, or a similar utility.
    2) Clicking on the QT Player app icon will not open a Player window unless you left a file open when you closed your last session. Double-click a movie file to both open the QT Player app and load the movie to a player window. I you are already double-clicking on the movie icons in the Finder window, the movies are QT playback compatible and they are not opening, then you may have a system problem.

  • ITunes and Motion don't play nice

    My problem is similar to this post from last year: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1699622&#1699622
    If I have iTunes playing a song or paused on a song, then switching to Motion from another application causes Motion to stall and beachball for 30 seconds to a minute. If iTunes is quit or if the music is "stopped," there is no problem. My library is about 75 GB.
    Can anyone think of why iTunes and Motion might have a conflict?

    i have this problem, too and posted a message months ago about it which received no helpful solution (or even corroboration for that matter). http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=475709&tstart=0
    in my prior thread, the application switch beachball was an afterthought for a larger issue.
    i'm just reaching out to this thread to confirm that someone else has the same issue.
    this issue has persisted with all updates of Motion v2 and iTunes v7 to date, as well as all versions of 10.4.
    i have no solution other than to close iTunes.

  • We have about 5 devices in our family.  My daughter's and mine don't work anymore, ostensibly because we have "too many". It has been so long since I loaded them in, I don't remember how I registered them.  What can I do to reactivate IPOD, SHUFFLE, ETC.

    We have about five devices in our family which have been deactivated.  It has been so long since I registered them -years- and I don't recall  how I did it.  For instance, my daughter's IPod from when she was young doesn't work and neither does her IPod Nano.  She can't get any of her music.  My Shuffle doesn't work.  I am embarrassed that I feel like having Apple products is too complicated for me.  I can barely get through all the levels of logging in, let alone how to make the devices work again.  Somewhere along the way I seem to remember getting a message that we had too many devices on our account.  Which account?  I have given up on this so many times and now it is years later and I am trying again.  How can I get some meaningful customer service to use the products and music I bought and paid for?

    I think in previous incarnations, people would have jumped all over you for your approach, but the Lion operating has generated decidely mixed or even negative reviews from users. So no one seems to disagree with you. I think many folks are simply staying with 10.6 and waiting to see if OS 10.8 is better than 10.7.  I've mostly avoided upgrading OS's, or when I do I jump over one version completely because I've waited long enough that I'm two versions behind. 
    Here are the things that will/would motivate me to update the OS:
    * incompatibility with MS-Office (I'm not a MS-Office fan but I do need to use it)
    * incompatibility with flash or other tools needed to view modern web content (this might be a while as I am still using several different Macs, the oldest being a 2005 PPC iMac with 10.5.8 and an fairly old/outdated flash, but it seems to still do ok with most web content). Our 2008 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac runs 10.6.8 and can do just about anything we need -- like you, I decided not to go to Lion because it didn't look like much of an improvement.
    * incompatibility with various commercial software, such as TurboTax, or with web sites I use to manage financial accounts and such things
    We got my daughter a new Macbook Air just before she started college, and Lion plus a new Macbook Air model came out a month later. I am glad now about it actually, I think some of the Lion "issues" would have annoyed her greatly (especially the odd dropping of wireless access points under Lion, everyone is on wireless at colleges now). I'm hoping that the 10.8 OS will be better than Lion. We had (probably still have) a certificate for a free Lion upgrade but we decided not to use it.

  • I have 34.0.5 and am still getting the black and pages don't open, in addition I am not getting an error message like I used to, HELP!

    I will be watching something and get a black screen. I open a new page and I get a black screen that never opens into the page. These problems only started with my recent update. I can refresh and it doesn't seem to do anything - HELP!
    The other weird thing is that I don't get the firefox popups I used to that would close it and fix the problem. Not that I liked it having to shut down, but at least it then worked.

    It seems to be better with the first solution. I will come back if it doesn't work. Thanks!

  • • Just downloaded Camera Raw 8.3/8.4, and Photoshop don't open any of my files anymore!

    Hello -
    I fallen today on this update of Camera Raw  ->  http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
    (See the sentence "Direct download links for Camera Raw 8.3 for Photoshop CS6").
    And I saw Camera Raw 8.4 for CS6 (I'm currently working with this version).
    Strange you read "8.3", but the link says "8.4"…
    So cool, I directly downloaded and applied the "update". And the update has been successfully installed… If I may believe the below window (screenshot).
    Just after, I opened Photoshop® CS6, and boummm now I can't open my pictures anymore! 
    Photoshop® tells me that:
    So what's wrong? Did I something wrong?
    Could anyone help me on this?
    Thank you, have a nice day…

    Are you using mac os x 10.6 snow leopard?
    If so, camera raw 8.4 doesn't work on snow leopard.
    You'll have to revert to camera raw 8.3
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-84-support-policy.html#Revert%20to%208 .3%20on%20Mac%20OS
    I thought adobe was supposed to fix the installers so camera raw 8.4 wouldn't install on snow leopard

  • Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro and Motion won't open.

    Hey Guys. For some reason when I click on the desktop icons for these packages nothing happens. They were working fine for ages. I have Final Cut Studio 2.
    Can anyone please help as I have a major project coming up and I am pulling my hair out

    Either open FCP and call up each program individually and either note the splash screen or go to "About ...... motion, color, etc"
    Or find each individual application in the directory where it resides and in column mode click on the .app and note which version it is..
    SHANE, where are you... speak to this fellow about blindly saying yes to updates!
