FCP 6 won't open after Leopard 10.5.4 installation, Need Help!

I just installed Leopard 10.5.4 on my macbook pro, then launched FCP6 and FCP6 keeps crashing.
It says "The application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly".
Can someone help me out please.
Zia

R.Miller...I have two machines running Leopard. When I used FCP Rescue 6 on them, I'd press trash, and nothing would happen. NO sound, no notice that it was done, and the prefs were still where they were. Nothing was reset. I tried to contact Mr. Holck (the author) and was told that there was no support for FCP Rescue under Leopard. The fact that you have it working is cool. But for a lot of people it doesn't. Sporatic.

  • I"stuff" won't open after leopard installation

    A Tale of Taxes and Computers
    My wife and I purchased our first computer in 1984. It was a Mac, no hard drive, just a floppy drive so we also got an extra external floppy drive. BIG TIME!
    In 1991 we began using MacinTax (Turbo Tax) which saved much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth around the house.
    We loved both so much that we have upgraded our Macs several times (we are now a three Mac family) and signed up for automatic renewal for Turbo Tax.
    Which brings me to December of 2007.
    I received my Turbo Tax in the mail and promptly popped it into my G5 to begin the taxes. Install, restart. But wait, the Turbo Tax icon just sits there and bounces, it won’t open! Reinstall, try again, same thing. I’ve never had this problem, what’s going on?
    I eventually end up in Turbo Taxes’ FAQ forum to find out that my G5, running system 10.3, won’t open the program. I need system 10.4 or better. The only thing better is 10.5 and it’s just been released.
    What to do?
    Well, I have a G5 running 10.3 (the computer I do our taxes on) and two laptops running 10.4. I may as well upgrade them all to 10.5 Leopard, I can get a family pack for only $199.00.
    One week and $200.00 later, Leopard shows up at my door. Good, now maybe I can get back to doing the taxes!
    Load, install, wait, blue screen, blue screen, more blue screen. Retry, reinstall, wait, blue screen, blue screen, still more blue screen. Call Tech support, how much Ram do I have? 256. That’s the problem, I need at least 512!
    What to do?
    I need memory chips (plural), my wife’s laptop doesn’t have enough Ram either.
    $130.00 and one week later, I’m ready to try again. Wait, the G5 won’t read the chip. Try a different slot, won’t read. Try a new slot, won’t read. What’s going on! I must admit, at this point I broke “The Man Law” and got the G5 manual out and read it.
    “Memory chips must be installed in pairs”
    What to do?
    Another $80.00 and another week later I got another chip for the G5!
    Install both chips, install system 10.5, open TurboTax, IT WORKS!
    But wait, with 10.5 Leopard there’s more!
    Everything I had that operated in the Mac “Classic Environment” will no longer operate. It’s all gone! And while the third party software programs from 10.3 still work, the Apple programs do not! Does that make sense? I had recently started using iphoto, but it will not open anymore. Neither will any of the “i” applications in my G5. I guess now Apple expects me to spend another $80.00 for iLife 08 just so the applications that I already had will work with their new OS!
    Congratulations Apple! You have made a giant leap to close the gap between Macs and PCs

    A long saga with a moral: Look before you leap"
    Everyone knows Leopard does not support Classic.
    Everyone knows that many apps are not supported under Leopard.
    I would never upgrade anything without first doing a complete investigation into the pros and cons.
    It's called due diligence.
    Your rather strange comment to Mac about closing a gap goes unheard by Apple. This board is used by people who only are here to help others, and rants etc, rarely help anyone.
    Your epic is unique in the annals of history in detail; but rather passe and blase in broader strokes.
    I have had no such problems with Leopard on any of my three Macs and I do not expect I ever will. I pay attention to details and never move forward without knowing where I am going.
    Since this board is for problem solving and you have not expressed a need for a solution to anything, I do not really understand the nature of your desultory philippic.

  • ITunes won't open after moving to external HD...HELP please

    Needed more room on my Mac HD so I moved iTunes to an external disc. That freed up a lot more space however iTunes won't open! I get error #13014. I downloaded a new version(9.1) onto my Mac and that one won't open.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    thanks in advance!
    I'm running 10.6.3, MacPro

    I moved the app and Library; I ended up removed all iTunes stuff(except) Library and reinstalled it. It now starts fresh....transferred stuff over however......I can't sync my iPhone...it says there another Library already synced....how do I know which one, I have a few(my fault).
    Can I get these cleaned up somehow?
    thanks!

  • My email attachments won't open after ios7.1 update on 4s! HELP!

    I recently updated my 4s to the new software, iOS7.1. Since then, my Word document email attachements are not opening. When I try and open attachments I just get a message saying "OfficeOpen XML word processing document" on a blank screen. All attachments were opening before the update... so I was wondering;
    Is my phone "too old" for this software? (Phone is only 16 months old)
    Are the attachments emailed to me, in the wrong format for me to open them?
    Or is there something I need to change in the settings so I can open email attachments????
    Please help!
    I rely on my phone to email on the run for my job so desperatly need to get it working again!
    I also have an iPad2 and have updated it to the new iOS7.1 software and email attachments and everything else is working fine.... just my phone isn't!
    Thank you all so much for your help.

    I have same problem when I upgraded to ios 7.1.  I have done the test that by sending a attachment both in .doc format and docx format but still cannot open the attachement and the message said "OfficeOpen XML word processing document", I have tested another iPhone in ISO 7 which don't have any issues to open.
    I don't why Apple still don't doing something to solve it.  We are well known that iPhone / iPad is not only for home use, we are use this everyday for work.  Please kindly give us solution.

  • Ichat won't open after leopard installation

    I installed Leopard on 3 imacs and on my teenaged daughter's computer ichat won't connect. The message she gets is: "Could not connect to AIM...try again in a few minutes" But every time we wait and try again we still get the same message. The internet connection is fine. Any ideas? Should I reinstall Leopard???

    Hi Barbara,
    If the Buddy List does not Appear and the Accounts are not listed in either the Window menu or the iChat Menu > Accounts then I only know of the Activity Monitor route.
    The com.apple.ichat.plist (and others) are in Users/(here account)/Library/Preferences
    She has to navigate there manually either from the Finder Window side bar or from the hard Drive (or her house icon is the same a Her Account).
    I this case if iChat is open (but not showing anything except the menu bar) I would open Activity Monitor and find both iChat (with icon and iChatAgent (without icon)
    Quit iChat. It should disappear in Activity Monitor.
    iChatAgent stays there for a while. That is why it say Force Quit it.
    Once both are quit I would delete all the .plist for ichat
    Then restart iChat.
    it will use the Keychain and Address Book to prefill the Start Up Screens which she can click through.
    This problems seems to be caused by a sudden drop out of the AIM server and corrupt info being in the .plist
    It seems different people find it is different .plist that are effected, which is why I suggest dumping all of them.
    If this does not work.
    While iChat is still open go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings and change the port to 443 but without the SSL login.
    If you do not have access to the preferences repeat the above and restart the computer not connected to the internet and then start iChat. It will still report it can not Login but should give you access to the Preferences.

  • IMac won't boot after OSX  Intel update crash - Newbie needs help please!

    Hi,
    at the weekend I updated OSX on my IMac 17 with an Intel update. An error message said that the update could not be installed and that the update was sent to the trash - a restart was requested. Since that shutdown my Mac chimes and gets stuck at the white load screen (hard drive is quiet).
    I've tried the following:
    Holding Shift key upon boot to initiate Safe Mode - No Joy!
    Apple+S to run disk utlity/console - cannot initiate to cmd prompt!
    Just as a little background - I'm a recent Apple convert and typical Windows defector. I've seen the light after many years in M**soft environments (I even trained to MCSE) but my Mac OS knowledge is considerably lacking. Let's be honest - so far I haven't had any problems.
    Any gentle help would be most appreciated folks - I'm not sure where to start and I want my baby back!
    Many thanks.

    Same here. I have an iMac 20". It has been upgraded to Leopard and running fine since I purchased it 2 weeks ago. I downloaded the latest OS/X update (100+MB in size) but the installation failed. The system requested a reboot but it has not been able to ever since. It simply keeps beeping with a white screen. I put the Leopard DVD in, held the "C" key, but nothing works. Now I have a system that won't work. From now on, I will shy away from getting the latest update .... I am planning to take it to the apple store

  • HELP!!!! Aperture 1 won't open after I installed Snow Leopard.

    Aperture 1.5 won't open after I installed snow leopard. Why is it not working?

    Because it's incompatible. You need to upgrade to version 2.1.4 or newer.

  • IPhoto won't open after reinstalling

    iPhoto won't open after installing "bundled software only" from the Leopard cd. The thing is that I already had everything installed , I installed the bundled software thinking that it would install the bootcamp in my mac (I know , I'm stupid...It is because I never had a mac..
    What shoud I do?
    PS: other program are not working either , iWork and Garage Band.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
    Regards

  • Motion 3 Won't Open After Installing

    Hi,
    I reinstalled Motion 3 after doing it 2 days ago because the beach ball keeps coming up and never leaves causing me to force quit. I let it stay up one night and when i awoke 8 hours later it was still up. thus, i reinstalled after trashing it. there's never any motion files in the library to delete and no motion files in the receipts. this time it won't open after installing it and booting down computer. I have lion 10.7.5   the fcp studio disk that i install for motion says version 3 but could have sworn on the computer when it was working it said motion 4. Any suggestions? did all my software updates too.
    Thanks,
    joe

    Motion 3 is part of Final Cut Studio 2. There are many threads on these boards about trying to get those apps to install properly on OS versions above 10.6.8. Here's one such thread. A search will bring up additional ones.

  • IMessages won't open after Mavericks upgrade

    iMessages won't open after I upgraded to Mavericks. I keep getting prompted to "enter the keychain password," but I never created a keychain. I never used it before the upgrade, and I skipped the step during the upgrade because I did not want to use keychain and it was an option to skip it during set up.

    HI,
    The OS X Mac have been using Keychains for a long time.
    In the Applications/Utilities folder open Keychain Access.
    This should show you at least two keychains.
    The Login one for your Mac User account and the System one.
    Generally speaking the Keychain keeps the passwords used by various apps and it needs to be Open.
    In most cases the Login password for the Mac Account user is also the password that opens the Keychian when the computer is started up.
    As each Mac User Account owns it's own Keychain there can be issues when you drag an account from one computer to another rather than using Migration Assistant.
    i.e. you might Own it on one computer but not on another.
    In the Finder > Go Menu hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
    In the library navigate to Keychains.
    Click to highlight the Login one.
    Now use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
    At the Bottom unlock the padlock
    Highlight the name that has (me) next to it (it should be your Shortname).
    Once you have highlighted this use the cogwheel item at the bottom.
    This should be greyed out but saying "Make you (Me) the Owner."
    You should also have Read and Write permissions like in the Pic.

  • ITunes won't open after OS update to Yosmite

    ITunes won't open after OS update, ITunes has been updated, it won't open or bounce. It will not allow me to move it to trash or reinstall it. I have already updated to OS X Yosmite two times as directed by apple, I have rebooted in safe made as well as Command/Option/P/R before start up. I have opened console/system log to see if there is anything going on but when I click on Itunes nothing happens, not even so much as half a line of script. I'm stumped. If I wanted someone to tell me to turn it off and on again I'd just watch IT Crowd. please help

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    If you head into your applications folder and locate iTunes. Right click iTunes and show package contents. In there there will be a contents folder --> MacOS --> double click on the iTunes terminal icon. This should force iTunes to open via a terminal window and at the very least it will tell you what it is getting stuck on.

  • ITunes won't open after downloading 7.0

    My iTunes won't open after downloading 7.0, what should I do?

    replying to Robert
    I get a Windows error code of 0x666D743F
    First see:
    iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes fails to launch with an unknown error
    There are some other possibilities
    That error has been known to be produced by having Total Recorder or the Volume Logic plug-in installed on the PC.
    For a workaround for Total Recorder, see:

  • ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5

    iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.

    i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
    step one-
    Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
    (even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
    step two-
    download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
    (i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
    although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
    step 3-
    open Terminal
    step 4-
    enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
    killall iTunes
    killall "iTunes Helper"
    sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
    step 5-
    drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
    step 6-
    install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
    step 7-
    go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
    with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life.

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.
