FCP 7 won't open anymore.

     Two days ago FCP7 wouldn't load from clicking on the most recent project but I was able to start it up from applications and then load the project from there. Today nothing will load, FCP just hangs up (spinning cirlce) after the effects loading is completed. I have to force quit it.
    So far I've done: Repaired permissions
                               Deleted FCP preferences
                               Upgraded firmware for my Dobro
                               Shut down and unplugged everything.
     I can't think of anything different I've done in the past couple days that I haven't done for years. I do use some MP3s in my projects but have been doing so also for years. A couple days ago the Drobo stoped being ejectable but this was solved by upgrading the firmware.
     Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Just because you've worked with mp3's without issue for years, doesn't mean you should work with them. They are not suitable for editing with in fcp. PLAIN and SIMPLE.
How did you delete your fcp preferences? The foolproof way is to use digital rebellion's preference manager.
And here's a user tip with some troubleshooting tips.

Adobe Classroom in a book file won't open anymore

I have a Framemaker 7 Classroom in a book file that won't open anymore. I purchased in in 2006
and it's worked for years. There is no error message. I keep getting redirected to Adobe Digital Editions website. So I've installed the Adobe Digital Editions software and still no luck. I spent 2 hours on the phone this morning with Adobe support and their final conclusion is they don't support this issue.
Anyone have any ideas? All my other pdf's open with out any trouble. Some of them are ancient.
Thanks,
June

For some reason Safari and App store won't open anymore. Everytime I try to open them they crash and it says it's because of the webkit2 plug-in. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

Adobe Presenter CRASHES and won´t open anymore

I am already with Adobe Presenter 8.1 (64 bits) and with Office 2013. Whenever I start recording a powerpoint presentation, with myself in the webcam (Logitech c-920), something happens that avoids me to record with my webcam again. After the crash, if I open Adobe Presenter (not through Powerpoint - but through the desktop shortcut), nothing happens...my webcam does not start and Adobe presenter simply does not open. I ran as administrator...nothing. Even through powerpoint, adobe presenter won´t record anymore. The only way to solve this is UNINSTALLING adobe presenter and installing it again. Then I can use it once more till the next crash. There is something wrong and I just can´t figure out what it is. Help!

The problem in detail:
- Open Powerpoint 2013 presentation
- Open Adobe Presenter through Powerpoint
- record
- publish
- ok...
Closes. Next time, it won´t open anymore...
If I only open Adobe presenter (before the crash) and open preferences (to choose webcam, microphone, etc.) it will crash in the very moment I close the preferences window.
My office 2013 is 32 bits. Is there an Adobe Presenter 8.1 32bits? Would that be the problem?

FCP won't open certain projects

When I attempt to open certain projects FCP won't open. It starts up then before it opens it shuts down. I'm able to open and work in other projects and sequences.
When I was able to open and work on this particular sequence it seems to shut down when I edited, moved or rendered a still image (jpeg and pdf). I'm wondering if these are corrupt and if so how do I "uncorrupt" them.
I've already trashed preferences a number of times.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well thank you all for your help - but as many of you guessed, it was a PEBKAC issue - namely me!
I was so sure that the versions of FCP were the same, I neglected to look at the 2 relevant "about" pages. Although both FCP's came from the same disk, the one on the lap-top had up-graded itself. Once I upgraded the desk-top to match, everything was rosy.
Once again, many thanks.
I retire, red-faced!

Help! FCP won't open...

HELP!!!
I was editing using external fw800 drives for my scratch disks. Then a power hickup (I live in Italy) caused my battery backup to flick on and off causing an unintended eject of those drives. I linked the drives back up and shut down and restarted the computer. Now FCP won't open, other programs will. It loads the FCP intro screen, then no interface, back to finder. I've tried opening through my projects, then the program but to no avail....please help!!! My last resort will be reinstalling FCP, but I don't want to do that and lose my settings for my jog shuttle and magic bullet filters....thanks!

Try trashing your preferences . . .
Download FCP Rescue :
http://pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue/
Use it to backup your Preferences (so you can restore them if this doesn’t work) then trash your Preferences.
Good luck

This does not look good. I am also surprised that System Restore would do that; normally System Restore does not touch user data (Program Files); only system data (Windows).
I suggest that you run the Acrobat Removal Tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html (multiple times, until all Reader installations are gone), then delete these duplicate install folders, and install Reader again.

HELP! suddenly .llb won't open anymore?!

I can't access the .llb file I was working with anymore.  I get the message: 'Error occured while listing contenst of c:\......\filename.llb.'
I've used this file a lot during the last week. No problems at all.    It's an instrument driver, now located in the instr.lib folder.   The last thing I did, was making a pallette for it.    After restarting Labview, I noticed that on the pallette, all icons changed to questions marks.   So I tried to open the corresponding llb file, and it won't open anymore.     What's going on?
Any way I can still open the llb file? There's a few days work in it.   (Not backupped... .Yeah, I know..... )
It's on Labview 8.     Attached the llb file, for anyone that wants to have a go at it.
More importantly, how did this happen?    I can't remember that I ever had this problem in the past....

FCP won't open one of its own files.

Hi, everyone.
I have an fcp project that I need to update and modify. I tried opening it, and I got "File Error: Wrong Type". I read this previous post...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8398246&#8398246
...and followed its suggestions. I quit fcp, and tried to open the file again (without the application already being opened). No luck.
Also as suggested, I saved the project file as a txt document, then change it back to an fcp document and open that. No luck again. I get "Unable to open project file".
These remedies worked for the original poster in the discussion, but they haven't worked for me. Anyone have any other ideas?
By the way, this project was created in 2006 on this computer that I'm still using, and with this version of FCP that I'm using -- so I can't fathom why it won't open.
Thanks!

do you want to send me the file and I'll see if I can open it. My email is in my profile. Please "compress" the file before attaching to email

FCP won't open - no error message

When I try to open FCP from the Dock the little light below the icon lights up for about a second and then nothing happens. When I try to open it from the Applications folder the icon will do it's "zoom" animation but still nothing happens. If I do cmdoptesc it doesn't show up but do cmd+i on the icon it says it was just opened.
I read I should delete my preferences, but I can't find any relating to FCP:
I downloaded Preference Manager and used it to delete FCP preferences but it still won't open.
Here are the basics of my computer:
osx 10.5.5
FCP 6.0.5
Caldigit HDPro 1.6
I realize I have old versions of everything but up until now it all worked.

Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on the system drive.
Restart, try FCP again, post your results.

Compressor mysteriously won't open anymore

Hi, I've used Compressor with FCP 4.5 for over a year now. When I had to reinstall my system after a crash, Compressor is grayed out in FCP and won't open from the Finder. I have moved so many times I no longer have my disk. I've tried repairing permissions, but nothing has worked. Any ideas out there?

New install and FCP won't open

Hello,
I am new to FCP. I come from a PC based Editor. After installation FFCP opened once. I closed it and now it won't open. When I attach my AG DV2500 deck it wants to start then just quits. Without the deck attached it says it can't locate the "Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480). Try again or click continue to set external device to none" Then Pof it's gone. How do I set my external device to none?
I have downloaded updates. No help
HELP
Thanks

you might have corrupted your preferences ... how I don't know.
trashing them is always a good place to start when things go awry
also, backing up a good set, that you can revert to, is well worthwhile
there are a couple of utilities that make this quick and painless:
FCP Rescue
and FCP Attic
you can google for them or just search here
cheers

FCP won't open after I tried to install trial software

I downloaded a trial copy of master perfection suite and another Bias product just to check it out. Now Final Cut Pro won't open - it brings up a box that gives me the option to authorize, continue etc, but when i do anything, the box just appears again. I have to Force Quit FCP since everything's grayed out. I've trashed prefs, repaired permissions, restarted but it hasn't helped.

Come on, you've been on the board long enough, You should know better. When you have a stable OS/Application combo, clone your startup drive. This way you can quickly restore your system to it's previous state.<<<</div>
Actually, I didn't know this. I'll have to look into how to do this.
I called Bias tech support - they were great. The suggestion to remove the files from the plugin folder was close - there was a 'components' folder in there as well that needed to go. Once that was removed, I restarted and FCP opened without a problem.

Adobe Acrobat won't open anymore. It says it's "incompatible"

I have been trying to open Adobe Acrobat, but it won't open. I've tried updating. It still won't open and I'm not sure it ever really worked properly, but for some odd reason, it did open once today, then stopped working completely no matter what I do. I've tried updating it. I've tried disabling Symantec Endpoint Protection. Help, please?

What version of Adobe Acrobat?
What version of Windows or MacOS?
What is the COMPLETE message?
