FCE 2 not working on my mac mini

Is any one using FCE 2 on a mac mini running OS 10.4.2. I have FCE HD running at home fine with OS 10.3.9 I decided to bring FCE 2 to work and run it on my new mac mini. I get a missing file error at startup and then FCE quits. The message reads "Unable to start Final Cut Express. You must have at least 1 Easy Setup file. Please re-install Final Cut Express and try again."

Sorry for taking so long to reply. My Mom had a heart attack and I am now in Montreal instead of home in Edmonton Alberta.
To install FCE 2 on the mac Mini I placed the apple orignal disk into the mini drive and followed the steps. The registration number was accepted. The install completed. When I tried to launch FCE 2 for the first time I got the above error message and then FCE quits. No way to get to the easy setup. I deleted all the FCE 2 files and repeated the install a second time. I obtained the same error message the second time.

  • Help! limewire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it

    Help! LimeWire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it out and had to get the new LimeWire. It keeps asking for Java 1.6 but I'm having no luck. :O( LimeWire was the reason I bought a Mac!

    Very weird day in Firefoxland
    First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
    Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
    Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
    WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

  • Built-in ethernet port not working in unibody Mac Mini

    Hi,
    So ever since I acquired this new mac mini I haven't been able to get it to recognize any devices connected via ethernet. I obviously checked the cables and all is good there. I tried connecting it to another mac, and while the other machine was detecting a device (the mac mini) at the other end of the cable, the mac mini kept saying that the cable is unplugged or the device off.
    After several days of having the issue I decided to remove the ethernet service from the network preference pane to set it up again but to my surprise, the built-in ethernet option was not available (I only got airport, firewire, bluetooth DUN, VPN, PPPoE and 6 to 4). At this point I tried removing the networkinterfaces.plist file form the system configuration folder in the system preferences folder to no avail. I then tried to zap the PRAM, NVRAM, reset the SMU, SMC and all that kind of things to get the port recognized by the system but no luck.
    When I look at the system profile I get these weird results in Ethernet Cards:
    pci14e4,4353:
    Type: Other Network Controller
    Bus: PCI
    Vendor ID: 0x14e4
    Device ID: 0x4353
    Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x106b
    Subsystem ID: 0x0093
    Revision ID: 0x0001
    Link Width: x1
    BSD name: en0
    Kext name: AppleAirPortBrcm43224.kext
    Location: /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm 43224.kext
    Version: 425.16.2
    Comparing it to other macs I have It should read "ethernet" rather than that strange pci name on top and the kext name shouldn't read airport but something like AppleIntel and in location it shouldn't direct to the IO80211Family.kext package but rather to the IONetworkingFamily.kext.
    So I popped in the system install DVD and fired up System profiler and at that point I didn't even get an "ethernet cards" option in the left side pane. So this is leading me to believe that the hardware is not being recognized at all, so maybe it's damaged. I did replace the HDD with a bigger one and change the RAM modules to bigger ones but I don't think I could have damaged the hardware in these processes, also I don't see how this would affect the ethernet port as it's integrated to Motherboard and didn't messed with it at all (I was very careful, to say the least!).
    The last thing to do is reinstalling the system but I don't think it'll help (after seeing that the ethernet port is not even being detected by the install OS) but I need to offload all the data from my internal disk and at the moment I don't have an spare drive to do it.
    So, what's the recommendation? A field trip to an Apple Store? Closest one is like 3,000 km from where I am right now, so...
    Well, thanks for any pointers, suggestions and help in general.

    I do not have any answers for you. Yes it appears to be reading what should be an ethernet card as an AirPort card. Have you played around with trying to install another version of Mac OS X other than the version that shipped with the Mac mini? Apple has long told us that we should not install a version of Mac OS X that was older than the shipping version. With the Mid 2010 Mac mini, the Restore DVD has the only version of Snow Leopard that will work with this Mac mini's specific hardware. At least until Apple releases 10.6.5. If you have installed other versions of Mac OS X, then erasing the HDD and installing the OS from the Restore DVD(s) that shipped with the mini may get you back to the point you need to be.
    Unfortunately I think that you voided your Apple Warranty when you installed the different HDD. That was always a question in the past when folks wanted to open the former version of Mac minis and upgrade the RAM. But with the 2009 models folks started reporting here in the Apple Discussions that Apple was informing them that they had voided their warranty by opening their Mac mini. This new model made the RAM user upgradable, but the User Manual specifically states on page 43, 54 and 61 that there are no user serviceable parts in the Mid 2010 Mac mini except the memory.

  • 27" TFT TV not working with my mac mini

    My brand new mac mini does not work with my 27" TFT TV (D-Boss) using the DVI connection. The mac mini works fine if connected to a 17" or 20" TFT display, but the screen of my TV is black and I get the error message "out of range" (strange with digital). The TV is working with my Windows laptop (analog and digital). I really have no idea where the problem is. Somebody can help me?

  • Ethernet adapter not working with new Mac Mini after NetRestore.

    I'm currently working with an issue regarding Mini 4,1s and their difference from the main driver set in 10.6.4. I'm in an educational environment and attempting to effectively netrestore a hard drive image that was built on a Mini 3,1 with all possible updates made to the OS (10.6.4).
    The new minis have no problem netbooting, and downloading the disc image from the server *over ethernet*. In fact, they do it in a very rapid fashion. The issue is that once the machines boot up, they no longer have ethernet capabilities. In fact, the ethernet device does not even appear in system profiler at all. After reading quite a lot about this problem, it appears that there is a difference in the driver set on the special "Mid-2010 Mini 4,1" update and the driver set found in a normal 10.6.4 install.
    I have attempted various permutations of installing the Mid-2010 update, but most of them include having an existing 10.6.4 install that was not built on the Mini, and attempting to install the update over the install, or replacing the driver in suspect itself. The issue persists.
    Is there something I'm missing, and is this a common problem?
    tl;dr: non mac mini 10.6.4 installation copied on mac mini 4,1, and ethernet drivers don't work.

    Thanks for your suggestion, I cloned my 1.83GHZ Mac Mini's main drive with Carbon Copy Cloner and restored it onto a new 2.4GHZ Mac Mini. Since the new Mac was replacing the older one's mother ship role in my HTPC setup, this method would ensure the easiest transition. Everything works fine, except that ethernet wont work, it did before, but doesn't now. I already tried several confirmed-working-by-me cables and no luck.
    I tried your step and understand the logic behind them, but as soon as I replaced my files with the ones you suggested from my 2.4GHZ Mac Install Disc, the system reports some conflicts. I repaired permissions after and before this happens (tried twice, once after successfully restoring via Tim Machine) and still it occurred. After reboot Ethernet was still dead and so was WiFi. Luckily I was able to get everything back to normal by replacing the entire Extensions folder with the one prior to the changes. Restoring the two files alone would not do it.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Bootcamp is not working and my mac mini boots in to windows 7

    . my mac mini does not have a optical drive . is there a way to get into disk utility ? Also my keyboard does not work at the startup.How to recover

    I think this helps explain how to fix this HDMI Audio issue running Windows via Bootcamp. (I'm running Win 8)
    1. Go to Programs on the Control Panel
    2. Uninstall Intel HD Graphics Driver
    3. Restart computer
    4. Go to Intel's Driver Support website and download the driver.http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
    (I'd reccomend just selecting the auto scan and it will show you what drivers you can install)
    5. Install the Intel HD Graphics Driver
    6. Restart computer
    7. Go to Hardware and Sound on the Control Panel
    8. Click on Sound and the Intel Display Audio should display now and set it as default
    Hope this helps with anyone experiencing this same issue.

  • Gestures not working Yosemite Headless Mac Mini

    Updated to 10.10.2 this morning and now I am already experiencing problems with my headless MacMini (home theater PC connected to HDTV). Yesterday all trackpad gestures were functioning properly. Now after updating only scrolling works in Safari, all other gestures such as swipe to previous or following page, pinch to zoom etc have stopped working?
    Anyone have any idea how to remedy this irritating glitch?
    Kind regards, Mark

    Thank you for your prompt reply. The problem is I am controlling the headless Mac Mini with my Macbook Air. So there is nothing to toggle in the Mac Mini as I am not using a separate bluetooth trackpad or mouse to control the Mac Mini. Opening trackpad preferences just has a spinning wheel searching for a device.
    Do you have any other advice for me? Kindest regards, Mark

  • FrontRow does not work on my Mac Mini

    I purchased the new Mac Mini (Intel) and after syncing with my old computer, FrontRow does not work.

    I had the same issue with my new Intel Mac mini. I fixed it by re-pairing the remote with the Mac mini.
    To do that, press the Menu and Next buttons on the remote at the same time and hold them for a few seconds.
    When I did that, Front Row started fine, and since then has functioned normally when I simply press the reote's Menu button.
    Hope this helps.

  • Top memory bank is not working on 2011 mac mini. Checked the ram stick which is working fine.

    Hi all
    Been using my 2011 Mac Mini since October 2011 with no issues at all. upgraded the Ram (2 x 8 =16gb crucial ddr3 1333 sodimm 204) which worked flaulessly  since early 2012.
    last week while workign on some ram intensive stuff my mac froze and made some funky sounds (kinda like C3PO beat boxing) and then would not reboot and beeped at me 3 times. I looked that beep up and it indicated a ram issue. I took out the first stick (closest to the twisty lid) and the mac boots indicating an issue with the bank i guess not the ram.
    What i want to know is if this is possible to fix or if i should just limp on with 8gb ram.
    Thanks
    Harry

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have checked with both RAM modules that your Mac doesn't start up when a module is inserted in the first slot, this slot is damaged.
    To replace the slot, the logic board has to be replaced, so it's an expensive repair. If you can live with 8 GB of memory, install only one memory module

  • Apple DVI to Video Adapter not working with SL + Mac Mini

    I've seen some issues with the video adapter putting out only black and white signal with Macbook Pros. That would be an improvement for me.
    I can't get SL to play with the video adaper when I plug it into my TV. I get black and white and a bounching broken up signal, as though the refresh rates don't match. I can't play around with the settings because it's impossible to see what's on screen. I have to plug my monitor back in.
    This used to work fine under Leopard.

    Why don't you click on the Apple icon at the top left of the screen.
    Select About This Mac. Click on the info about which version of OS X you have - under the Apple icon - click twice to see your serial number. Use it to determine the model of your Mac Pro on Apple's web site. Inform those who would help you what model Mac Pro you have.
