FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

Don't panic . . . . . yet!
You may not have trashed FCE properly.
Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.
FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools
I know it is called FCS Remover but it also works for FCE.

    You have a disc inside your optical drive.

    Remove the extra disc.
    My answers are basic because:
    You never told us which model iMac you have?
    How you are burning?  Through iMac?  External burner?
    Which OS you are currently using?

  • Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

    The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
    Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
    #2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
    I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
    Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

  • My Itunes won't open when I click on the program.

    My Itunes won't open when I click on the icon/program. It will flash like it's going to open on the bottom bar on windows 7 but then doesn't do anything, I have tried deleting it and redownloading it, however this still hasn't done anything. What can i do??? Thanks.

    Can you right mouse click iTunes icon and choose "Run as Administrator"?
    If this fails:
    Try SCAN your Windows system files for possible corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.

  • My photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos",  and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here

    my photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos",  and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here. I need to get it working again because we're about to go on a trip!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • My DVD drive won't open when I click the button

    Hi there
    I'm hoping someone can help me.
    My DVD drive won't open when I click the button.
    I've tried clicking on eject on the DVD Drive icon in My Computers and it comes up with an error message.
    I think I deleted cookies the other day. Could that have anything to do with the problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to send my laptop away to a technician.

    Hi
    Try to open the CD/DVD drive manually.
    Near the eject button you will find a small hole.
    You could use a small object like staple and could push it carefully into this hole.
    Usually this should helps to open the drive manually.

  • Firefox won't open when clicked in the dock on my Mac

    Mac Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8, Firefox icon in dock, won't open when clicked

    As a point of clarification, does Firefox launch if you double click it from your Applications folder through the desktop (Finder)? If yes, right click (or Ctrl-click) on the Firefox icon in your Dock and choose Remove From Dock, then drag it on again from your Applications folder. The only other thing I can think is if it's already running but with its window hidden, clicking it again in the Dock might not be bringing it up. In that case try a Force Quit (from the Apple menu at top-left of your screen, click Force Quit..., choose Firefox in the list and click the Force Quit button).

  • Firefox won't open when prompted the first time. Says "Not Responding". I have to hit cntrl/alt/del then try starting again. Sometimes multiple times.

    Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:
    * How to stop the running Firefox process
    ** In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''<u>Processes</u>''' tab?
    ** See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application

    ** https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
    * You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
    ** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
    **Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''<u>before</u>''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    ** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''<u>one at a time</u>''' until the problem reappears. '''<u>You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change</u>''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

  • Yesterday, since I downloaded the lastest version 3.6.6, every time firefox opens and when I click on something, I get multiple error windows that say "ERROR: Security Manager Vetoed Action. I can't hardly use if anymore because of all the window pop-ups

    Yesterday, since I downloaded the latest version 3.6.6, every time firefox opens and when I click on something, I get multiple error windows that say "ERROR: Security Manager Vetoed Action". I can't hardly use if anymore because of all the window pop-ups. What can I do? Can I go back to an older version?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I downloaded version 3.6.6 yesterday

    hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

  • I have ipad wi-fi cellular.  Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader.  I tried syncing photos through itunes and that didn't work either.What do I need to do to get photos on ipad?

    Have ipad wi-fi cellular.  Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader.  I also can't download photos from pc through itunes.  Need help getting pictures on ipad.

    For the SD card, are you copying the photos onto it yourself from your computer ? If you are then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
    In terms of syncing photos, what happens when you try ? You should be able to sync photos by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side selecting the Photos tab - using that tab you should be able to select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • HT3805 My Aperture 3 just crashed, i.e., it would not open and showed an error message -1712.  I sent the current version to trash and reinstalled from my A3 disk, but after installing again it still says "Aperture can not open -1712."

    My Aperture 3 just crashed...by that I mean it would not open and showed the message: "Aperture 3 cannot open.  -1712."  I have the latest A3 version and had been using it continually for 3 years.  This was the first crash.  And it will not open as often as I tried.
    I am using a 13" Macbook Pro with OSX 10.8.5.
    I tried sending the A3 application to trash, and reinstalling from my A3 disk.  Install message said "installation successful."  But A3 would still not open and gave same message with -1712.
    Any suggestions what I should do or try?
    Thanks

    Perhaps your Aperture library was damaged, when Aperture crashed. What where you doing, right before the crash happened?
    - If you installed new software - programs, plug-ins, preferences panels, check, if they are compatible.
    - If you imported new images, you may have imported corrupted files, that crash Aperture.
    Can Aperture launch correctly, when you try to open a new Aperture library?
    Hold down the options-key, when you launch Aperture and select to create a new library. Import a few images. Does that work?
    If Aperture will launch on a new Library, try to repair your current library. Hold down the key-combination option-command ⌥⌘  firmly while double-clicking the Aperture library to open in First Aid Mode. Hold the keys down, until the panel appears, and then try  the First Aid Options in turn.
    I have the latest A3 version
    Is it Aperture 3.4.5? The latest Aperture 3.5.1 will not work with Mt. Lion.

    I've upgraded to FF4 uing windows 7 64-bit - won't open when click on shortcut, have tried to reinstall etc, prev ok with version 3+

    I found something that could be a workaround ... wel at least it's gotten me one step further (windows 7 now recognizes the scanner as the right device (symbol usb sync cradle), but step 8 keeps failing.
    source : http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/wince/5660/Windows-CE-5-or-6-with-Vista-and-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center
    1. Install WMDC 6.
    2. Plus the Windows CE based device.
    3. Close the "Found new hardware" wizard.
    4. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Manage"
    5. Open the Device Manager, then select the Windows CE based device.
    6. Right-click and select "Update driver..."
    7. In the wizard, select "pick from a list..."
    8. In the list, select "Microsoft USB Sync [Microsoft]".
    9. ... nothing else! It works!
    Anything else I could try now?The first time I tried step 8, the microsoft usb sync driver was in the list but I got an error while updating the driver. The second time, it didn't appear on the list anymore. I'm thinking this is more of a 64-bit driver problem.
