FCP 5 wont open on my G4

I just got a new Dual 450 MHz powerPC G4 1GB SDRAM and i wiped it clean and installed OS 10.4.7 and installed FCP 5. i got it all installed and when i go to open it, it will open but as soon as its done loading it closes on me. anyone know whats going on with it?

Why did you wipe it clean? Did it have FCP on it before? How did you wipe it clean? It may be as simple as a preferences issue in which case you need to download FCP Rescue 5:

trash prefs then restart FCP
then post back

  • FCP wont open motion projects on tileline anymore

    I have been using the FCP suite by creating motion projects and imoporting the project file onto my fcp timeline, I really like doing this it cuts out allot of wasted time. However I just installed the new itunes and the new quicktime update and suddenly whe i try to change a motion project in fcp via "open in editor" teh OS crashes. says I need to restart...AHHHH.
    Any ideas?
    I use FCP 5.0.4 and Motion 2.0.1

    Ouch. The OS crashes? Kernel panic? Also read what TheXlab has to say about kernel panics.
    It sounds like the QuickTime update might be the source of your problems. I don't know if FCP 5.0.4 and Motion 2.0.1 are friends with QuickTime 7.1.3.
    I would take advantage of the $99 crosscrade offer while it's still there

  • Help with error message. FCP wont open

    Hi all
    I am trying to get FCP to open after suffering a crash. I have re installed and in console i get the same error message as pre-reinstall. Has anyone had this same error?
    Error loading /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Quartz: error code 0, error number 2 (dyld: /Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Pro can't open library: /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Quartz (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
    DP

    update: am trying to use Pacifist to find this file on my OSX install disk
    library: /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Quartz file
    I cant find it..is this going to be on the FCP disk?

  • FCP wont open

    Just as the topic says, my Final Cut won't open. I have version 5.0.4 and have all of the system requirements for it. A few days ago my Mac was working just fine, today when I tried to open it, the loading screen popped up and then it went straight back to finder. I reinstalled it, re-updated it and it still won't work. All the other components for FCS still work fine, except for Final Cut.

    Eric, a little help on HOW he could do that would be helpful.
    Download FCP Rescue and run it.

  • Final Cut 5.0 wont open after hard drive confusion

    i think someone in my studio unplug a external hard drive because when i checked the timeline many files were offline i closed out of the program and re-opened and it said all my mac hd hard drive was offline i tried to reconnect it and once i did it just shut the program down and now it wont open... any way to fix this???

    I would first reboot the computer and then try to open FCP again.
    If that doesn't work, you might trash FCP preferences.
    Download FCP Rescue to help with this.

  • Wont open my project

    i have been working on a project all week and im finished with it now. im ready to export the movies and now my project wont open it says its unreadable or is for a newer version of Final Cut. but im using the same one i made it in.
    help please

    Close FCE and Repair Permissions. Reboot the machine. Instead of launching FCE and opening the project, go to the project's .fcp file and double click. If not, after making sure FCE is not running, find and trash the FCE preferences. Reboot and launch FCE.

  • Motion, wont open.

    I'm having trouble getting a Motion 2 to work. The welcome screen comes up then you can select a preset but the next window only opens the file browser. Nothing else will open. Trouble also with Compressor (wont open) and DVDSP (preferences opens then freezes). Funny thing is, Livetype and FCSHD (Academic version) work flawlessly and I'm in the middle of a long project. Any advice for how to get Motion to function without jeopardizing FCP? I have only 512MB of RAM. Would this be an issue? It is within the min specs.

  • Fcpx wont open project

    The"body party" project i am working on just wont open. the even folder shows up but i only see the title information for the actual project. when i try to open it the program crashes. Ive been working on coloring the project with the mlooks 2 plugin those were the last changes i made. i also have other projects on the same hard drive and they are fine.

    In the Finder open up the project folder. Open up Backups folder and drag the file that is inside it to the same level in the folder hierarchy as the CurrentVersion file. Hide the Current Version file in a temp folder. Rename the backup file CrrentVerion.fcpproject.
    Launch FCP and see whether project opens.

  • I recently installed older version of Imovie and final cut pro free trial now imovie 11 wont open what do I do?

    I recently installed older version of Imovie and final cut pro free trial now imovie 11 wont open what do I do?

    Do you mean that the old version of iMovie (which version?) worked until you installed the FCP trial?
    Note that you can only transfer projects from the latest version of iMovie (10) to FCP 10.1

  • Itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..

    itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..

    Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
