FCP 7.0.3 Import window closes itself before I can select anything

I just reinstalled FCS on my mac book pro and updated it to FCP 7.0.3. I am running Yosemite. When I select file>import the dialogue pops up but before I can click on anything or make a selection it closes. Anyone else see this behavior? What might be the cause?
MBP Retina (2012)
2.3 GHz core i7
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M
OS 10.10.1

Well, I would say trash your preferences, but this is a brand new install...
One big thing might be that FCP 7 isn't supported on Yosemite...nor on the previous OS. FCP 7 was discontinued before both came out, and neither were written with support for FCP 7 in mind. The core of FCP is Quicktime, and Quicktime is being phased out by Apple...it is moving towards AV Foundation, which is the core of FCX. In fact, QT 7 that is the main core of the app isn't on Yosemite, only the hobbled QTX.

Lightroom 3 - import new photos freezes before I can setup anything

I did one import succesfully couple days ago. Today I am unable to import new photos. Not sure if it is related, but I added CS5 Suite today. I have a very recent PC with the i7 processor.
I go to: File --> Import Photos ...
Next, the import window opens and I get the hour glass (spinning wheel). Tried restarting LR several times and left it sometimes for a long. It does not come back and I am unable to do anything.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi Victoria,
My storage configuration is two internal SATA drives, one USB external and a NAS box on a Gigabit Network (copper).
I have disconnected the external drive and removed the network shares without noticing any difference. I am running Vista Ultimate 32-bit with 4GB RAM.
PS i've also run scandisk and defrag on my drives!
Best Wishes,
Darren

The following message keeps coming up on my screen and I have to close it before I can do anything "can not open connection device. How can I stop this message.

My MacBook pro

I know this is gonna be a very general tech question but you didnt say in your post.
Are you still using the device that was giving that warning?

When I click and open my Firefox browser ,it always opens to Firefox welcome page ,NOT my google search page , which is my home page , how can I fix this , I have to always have to close FF before I can search !!??

Can you help me figure out how to stop Firefox from opening to welcome page / updated window, I have to close that before I can use my google search page ,which is my homepage !!

You can start by checking the Home page setting to see if that still links to the Google Home page (http://www.google.com/firefox)
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
You can also check the startup setting just above the home page setting.
If the home page setting isn't correct and changing it doesn't last if you close and reopen Firefox then you need to check if the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/prefs.js_file prefs.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] isn't corrupted.

Every time I turn on my laptop about half a dozen previous documents open up and I have to close them before I can begin. Can anyone help me prevent this from happening as it's driving me nuts!

First thing to (un)check:
When you shutdown/restart, there's a dialog box which confirms your request. In that box is a little checkbox which you should uncheck.

Videochat window closes itself during the chat

I have iChat version 3.1.8 and I still use Mac OS X 10.4.10.
I wanted to have a videochat with my mother (she uses AIM Messenger on Win XP), but it didn't work.
The window of the videochat closes itself after less than 5 seconds. Sometimes it's very fast (before I see my mum, sometimes it's after 5 seconds when we could say a half sentence.
I tried to restart the computer, but the problem is still there.
The last days I also had trouble with my computer: slow start-up, blocking (even apple-alt-esc didn't work any more) and troubles with iTunes when I click it in my dock, it doesn't jump, it doesn't open, but there is the little black arrow wich means it's activated. Could this have something to do with it?

Hi
Do you get an error message with the closing of iCHat?
Have you done the following?
iChat>Preferences>Video>Bandwidth limit: None
System Preferences>Quicktime>Streaming>Streaming speed: 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN (don't use Automatic)
Restart iChat
Has the PC end done its settings up? See http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html#_Service

ITunes window centers itself when you click on anything in the left sidebar

Has anyone else noticed that if you click on anything in the left sidebar (i.e. "Music", "Movies", etc.) that the itunes window centers itself on your screen both vertically and horizontally? interesting feature. I just noticed it so I hope it doesn't become annoying. I don't want iTunes thinking it needs to be the center of attention. It's not that important.... oh wait....

Same thing going on here. Tremendously irritating.
I recently installed a companion piece of software called TuneUp. Only noticed that it started doing this after the latest update to TuneUp. Thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else has the same symptoms. Have not yet tried disabling anything as mentioned elsewhere in this thread. If I do that and it solves the problem, I'll follow up. (Right now iTunes is in the middle of syncing thousands of updated tracks to my iPod and I don't want to interrupt it.)

WINDOW CLOSES ITSELF!

When I try to play a java-based game using su java it just closes when I click the link to the game... I used sun java alot and it never did this...PLEASE HELP! :(
-Atomicfog

Well I don't have a pentium 4... I have a Duron. Also the game is called runescape at www.runescape.com and it uses sun java or microsoft virtual machine... Should I remove a .dll file? If so which one?
Or is there another fix? And also, are there any different programs that can run java besides sun java and microsoft virtual machine? I am very good with computers but I just can't figure this out... The window just closes out by itself when I try to play it... Help? :(

When I click on the Firefox icon to get to the internet I get a message saying that Firefox still has a window open and that I need to close it before I can open another window even though there is no window open.

I have not been able to get onto the net through Firefox for several weeks. Each time I try to get on, I get this exact message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." If I restart I get the same message. I really like Firefox so I'd like to solve this situation.

After the ios7 update I have been unable to open the i-tunes store on my i-phone5, it basically flashes up for two seconds and then closes itself down, anyone else had anything similar and no a fix?

Since updating to ios7.0.2 on my i-phone5 I have been unable to open the i-tunes store app, basically it just opens for a second or two then shuts itself down, I've tried a soft reset, turning on and off, closing down all running apps but nothing seems to work, anyone else had the same problem and no how to fix it?

Hey there Fistycuff,
It sounds like iTunes launches for a split second, then quits unexpectedly.
I would recommend a few things for this issue. First, close all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities

Sterling

When I close firefox and then try to reopen it later it often says that it cannot open firefox because it is already open and that I must close it before it can open a new window.

When I look at the task manager it is not listed at all. It will work if I restart my computer.

If I deleted Firefox by accident why won't it let me re-download? Why does it keep telling me to close Firefox before I can download when it isn't open?

I went to delete websearch function and deleted firefox by accident. I could not bring firefox back up so I deleted the program to try to just reload and now it won't allow me to download it again. It keep's saying that Firefox is still running and that I have to close it and it is not open.

Internet Explorer, or firefox both will offer to make themselves the default browser, and there may be some actions that are not possible or very dificult in firefox. I do not recall Windows itself preventing me from using firefox, other than because of firewall action.
Possibly now security settings or software is blocking firefox downloads on your machine. When you do download firefox you may then discover it is blocked from running the installer, until you revise security settings.

Did you find the Firefox profile folder?
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field 
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"

The Ctrl+F search fonction is bugged, the window is slim and I can type anything inside it .

when I press ctrl+f, here is what I see :
http://puu.sh/h5q9G/9d7ff3f1fd.jpg
nothing that I could write appears in the box (as it should be the case), and when I press Enter, nothing happens.
Out of that, the options such as "underline" seem to be responsive, and I can close the little tab by clicking over the x at the right.
It appears that the tab is way slimer than it should be too.
I hope I'm not asking for something that has already been solved somewhere... and I apologize for bothering you.
Thanks in advance.

It does look as though the normal style rules for Firefox's UI are not being applied correctly.
Did this just start after a software change, such as a Firefox version update, or a Windows or graphics card software update?
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Does the interface have a more appropriate size?

When I close firefox it doesn't close. I go to reopen it and it says that it is already running. I have to use task manager to end process to close it before i can log back on.

After browsing and I close Firefox it appears to close.
However when I go to reopen it later I get a message that Firefox is already open and I need to close it. The only wany I can close it is by using Task Manger to end process.

Must be the "hang at exit" problem. You already know how to do Step1; now just determine which Add-on (Extension or Plugin) is causing the problem.
