FCP 7 Won't Launch, used to

For some reason, FCP 7 won't launch any more. It did just a few days ago. Nothing has changed on my system. When I launch FCP, the startup screen comes up, showing what's loading. Then nothing. No FCP. Nothing showing in Activity Monitor. I can lauch DVDSP. Same result with FCP whether I launch the App or double clicking on an FCP project file. It starts to load, but never makes it.
I can't re-install FCS, since I'm not running Lion. I had brought FCP over from Snow Leopard.
I have FCP X installed. But FCP 7 ran fine a few days ago with X installed.
I have tried:
- Repair persmissions.
- Trashing all FCP preferences.
Any other suggestion?
My system: (which hasn't changed since it did launch only a few days ago)
Lion 10.7.1
FCP 7
FCP X
ATI 5770
Quadro 4000 (slave only, no monitor attached)
24 GB RAM

ok. i solved it. i had changed the name in my apps folder to FCP 7. i tried to software update and nothing happened. i removed the 7 from the name, software update updated to 7.0.3 and now it works again... so who knows what happened? hope this helps someone in the future...

FCP won't launch! Help!

Using FCP 5.0.4 and it was working fine this morning but won't launch this evening. I just updated to the latest OS, FCP, QT etc and still no luck. The program starts it's launch sequence and just disappears part way through (right aroung the rt settings)
Everything has been rock-solid up until now...any ideas why this would happen?
Drew

Trash the FCP plist file in the user preferences folder for FCP.
Repair permissions before and after installing the latest pro apps update either from software updater or from Apple's download site.

Windows XP iTunes won't launch (using Parallels Desktop 4.0)

After installing latest version it won't launch at all.
I get an alert with a red cross that says:
"The itunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
I am using Parallels Desktop 4.0, with Windows XP SP2.
I've uninstalled all iTunes files, and reinstalled. Still nothing.
Before the update, iTunes would launch, but it said that the library couldn't be used because of access privileges.
Someone please help...

I get the error message "itunes.exe has caused errors in windows. Error log created. Windows will now close." I've tried fixing iTunes using the "repair" option in itunes.exe, uninstalling and reinstalling both QuickTime and iTunes, and am now out of options.
Help, please!

FCP won't launch on new Mac Pro Tower

I just got a new Mac Pro Tower and installed Final Cut Studio, but Final Cut Pro won't launch. It just hangs on the opening splash screen and I can't even force quit out of it. Same thing happens if I try to open an FCP project. I have run all the updates, trashed prefs, etc.
Any ideas?

OK....so I think I found the problem even though it makes no sense to me. It seems that if I have my DVCam deck (which is connected via a 4-pin firewire to 9-pin firewire cable) powered on while I try to launch FCP, it causes FCP to hang on the splash screen. If I turn the deck off, and launch FCP, it launches perfectly.....and it continues to work after I power the deck on. Very bizarre behavior but I have tested it about 5 times now and it works fine when the deck is powered off and hangs when the deck is powered on. Anybody else have a simliar issie?

FCP won't launch after Archive and Install

After the fiasco of the 1.1 update for the Alu-iMac's I had to do an archive and install on my system to return it to 1.0.
Everything is now working fine but FCP6 won't launch. It bounces in the dock once and then nothing. LiveType and DVD Studio 4 will open but Color, Motion and FCP won't.
I have trashed preferences and repaired permissions with no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

There are files that are not brought along with Archive and Install.
Some are invisible and not accessible without enabling "root" access and even then you have to know exactly which files have to be moved from the 'previous System' folder.
Archive and Install never works with Apple's Pro apps.
If Niel's suggestion doesn't work you'll have to erase your hard drive and reinstall everything making sure you first backup important data to another hard drive.

Itunes 10.5 won't launch using windows xp

Itunes 10.5 won't launch. I'm using Windows XP Pro. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and conifrmed I have vbscript running. Please advise...

If you have any parental control software either stand alone or installes as a module in your security software, then uninstall the parental control and reboot. It worked immediately for me after working on it for 2 days.

FCP won't launch

I have been using FCP for about three weeks now. Suddenly when I try to launch it, it opens briefly and then shuts down. What's up? How do I launch it?

Have you tried zapping your perimeter RAM?
To do this, reboot your computer while holding down CommandOption+PR
Hold them down until you hear your computer chime 3 - 5 times, and then let go of the keys to let it boot all the way.
After doing this, try to open FCP. If that doesn't work, try trashing your preference files like the article says. If that doesn't work, try running a maintenance application like TechTool Pro or Disc Warrior (make sure you use the latest version). These can help narrow down your problem to either a software issue or a possible hardware issue (such as bad or loose RAM).
I see you're using a G3 Tower, what version of FCP are you using? The fact that you're using an old computer might have a lot to do with your problem.

FCP won't launch!! SOS!

*Hello everyone Im new to Mac and to FCP as well.*
*From a couple of days while I was launching the FCP 7 for the second time I was surprised by seeing an error report saying: "FCP has quit unexpectedly" i reopened it again and found the same report.*
*Then I began to make research on the net about that problem and found that im not the only one dealing with it (Which discouraged me to use this software for my future projects, specially that i work in editing and publicity). Well i have tried many things: disconnected from the internet...delete preferences... and all what I get is something related to the firewire. They tell me that Ur camera or something isn't connected to the firewire..and when i click continue, FCP shuts down. Well Im sure that I can use FCP without connecting a firewire..But how?!*
*Thanks for Ur help!*

Please don't bold your whole paragraph. Hard to read.
Again, which Mac and how installed?
Clean install or time machine, archive and install or migration assistant.
Only the first works.

FCP won't launch after install

Please help! I just got a shiny new 12-core MacPro and installed Final Cut Studio 2. I am unable to launch FCP at all now after the install. From everything I've read in the forums, it should be compatible with Snow Leopard.

Clean install from the original discs?

Firefox won't launch--using Apple Snow Leop. Tried to download new FF but could not. Am working from Shanghai.

I used Firefox last night to check my bank account balance
Forgot to log off before going to bed.
In morning my Apple laptop was frozen, so I turned it off.
Then after restart Firefox would not launch.
I am using Safari to send this, but need to get back to Firefox.
I am a US citizen working at Tongji Univ. located in Shanghai.
thank you....paul j. tremont

Starman, I'm sorry to waste your time. I had been assured by my employer that our MSDN subscriptions were going to be renewed, but I just checked the subscription status and it shows that it expired July 1st. I had just used it right before the 1st, and I was thinking it didn't expire until the end of July. That would probably explain it, huh? It's weird though, that I'm not getting the grayed-out icons. Again, sorry to waste your time. Thanks. Joe

New Toy, FCP won't launch, moderately ticked off

I feel like a total dope, cannot figure this out.
You can believe me when I say I've run through ALL of the obvious and much of not so obvious debugging routines. However, I'm not going to list what I've done because I want you to waste your time and mine with any and all of your sugggestions, maybe I forgot one trick to try.
when I finished migrating and reinstalling a few days ago, FCP worked, as far as I could tell. Today, the FCP splash screen comes up, it gets quickly to "loading video effects" and simply closes.
bogiesan

I'm not sure I understood the post. Did you migrate your apps from a ppc mac to an intel mac?
<
Combination of both. No reason not to migrate most of them since they're the same universal versions. Other stuff was installed from scratch. I'm deliberately leaving out these details but Studio was installed from scratch.
There is a tremendous amount of noise about the "dangers of migrating from PPC to Intel. Only amateurs would stoop so low. REAL professionals would never DREAM of attempting to use this shortcut."
It's just not true for 90% of the applications on my systems. Migrating works fine and saves tons of hassle.

Please help - FCP won't export using DVCPro HD (or any HD) settings.

Please help. I'm under a tight deadline to deliver.
The native setting for both the project and footage is DVCPro HD 720p60 but when I export with this setting, or any other HD setting, whether to a Quicktime Movie or using Quicktime Conversion, the resulting image has thick black lines on both sides of the screen and in the middle.
I have Quicktime Pro and have already reinstalled FCP to make sure I have all the components. But it's still not working.
Please - any advice would help.
Thanks.

Well, have you done the usual things for when FCP doesn't act right?
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue and run it.
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Application won't launch using IIS

I've developed a Lightswitch application and published it using IIS server. I also was printing using SSRS directly from the application using Spursoft's report viewer extension. The print doesn't work as of a couple or three weeks ago and it had worked
just fine for close to a year. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Vern Miller

HI Vern,
Welcome to Lightswitch forum.
You'll need to turn tracing on to get the stack trace. That will help you diagnose.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

FCP 6 won't launch

I had FCP 5.0.1 and one day and all of the sudden, it wouldn't launch anymore. I troubleshooted some, threw away preferences and all those other files people speak of and nothing..
I thought I would fix the situation by finally uninstalling the entire studio and REinstalling FCP 6.0.
When launching Final Cut Pro I can't seem to get past "Loading Audio Filters RP150". It unexpectedly quits every time.. I have thrown out all the files people have said to throw out. I have repaired my disk permissions, etc. Still the same thing.
What else can I do?

does anyone have Disk Warrior?
Yes. But it's not going to fix this issue. DW does one thing only -it checks and repairs the directory structure of hard drives.
Where does this audio plug in come from -do you have Logic or another audio software package installed? As Studio X already mentioned, +"If these filters are incompatible, FCP won't launch and won't give you much in the way of an error message."+
Final Cut Pro plugins are located at: hard drive name/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins. Look for the plugin there and move it out of the Plugins folder. Note that it might be in a sub-folder, typically named after the manufacturer.
If the plug in is an AudioUnit, you might be able to use [Audio Unit Manager|http://audio-unit-manager.en.softonic.com/mac] (free) to tell FCP not to load it.

FCP 7 Won't launch

ok, i've searched around for a WHILE before starting this thread. strange FCP 7 behavior:
i'm running 10.7.4
FCP 7.0
the splash screen comes up, as it's loading my plugins, it gets to "loading master templates" and just stops. no error message.
i trashed the preferences, used the digital rebellion tool to do so
tried a different user on my laptop and it does the same thing
i can't find the plugin folder anymore to try deleting the plugins. could that be the problem?
i haven't uninstalled yet.
motion 4 won't launch either.
i have fcp x and motion 5 and they both work fine.
could some sort of templates be corrupted?
any suggestions on what else i can do to troubleshoot this?
thanks!

ok. i solved it. i had changed the name in my apps folder to FCP 7. i tried to software update and nothing happened. i removed the 7 from the name, software update updated to 7.0.3 and now it works again... so who knows what happened? hope this helps someone in the future...
