FCP 7 won't open or re-install, need help!

I have the latest version of FCPX installed as well as FCP7 on my system and I need to open FCP7 so that I can export an XML file in order to utilize 7 to X.  The trouble is that when I attempt to open 7 it crashes and when I attempt to re-install 7 from the Final Cut Studio disc the Final Cut Pro line says "skip" and I am unable to check the box to get it to install!
Anyone have any suggestions?

Here's a user tip regarding installing both fcp7 and X on the same system

    Copying the program over to a new machine will not work.   Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.

  • 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.

    I am having the same problem.  I even changed my password and updated all of my security information.  Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work.  Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00.  So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid.  Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

  • 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 :

    Use it to backup your Preferences (so you can restore them if this doesn’t work) then trash your Preferences.
    Good luck

  • Safari won't open since I installed Firefox.

    Safari won't open since I installed Firefox. I keep getting a window that asks me if I want to "Reopen" Safari in a large window that includes error messages, lots of them. I click on "Reopen" and a smaller window opens up with the same option to "Reopen", but Safari just goes back to the large window again; the one with all the error messages.

    Quit the application. Force quit if necessary.
    Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • I Just updated the software of my iphone 4s thru phone, now the photo application won't open... Please help me what to do?

    Hi! I'm Ralph.. Just updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.2- 6.1.3. ... Now the photo application won't open... Please help me what to do

    Why would this be covered under warranty?  There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
    As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device.

    Have you tried holding the power button down for several seconds? I would try the force quit as mentioned earlier first, or go to the Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities and try force quit there.

  • Fresh install of iPhoto 11 won't open - say's it needs update.

    Hi,
    I need some help here. I just re-installed my MBP (mid 2010) with OSX Lion, got all updates. After that i installed my iLife 2011 software bundel, and got every update downloaded and installed. Rebootet and then tried to start iPhoto (for the first time since my re-install). Now it says: "In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the lastest version." Problem is, that i allready did this before i tried to start iPhoto - So i'm stuck. iPhoto has been installed from the iLife 2011 bundel DVD, and not from the App Store.
    Hope some of you can help me. I have searched the discussion forum, and i all i find is some guides aboout deleting som cache files, but these does not exsist on my mac, because iPhoto has never beed opened.
    Ps. I made a backup of my iPhoto library, before i did the Lion reinstall - so nothing is lost.
    (sorry for my bad english, i'm from Denmark )
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I had the same happen to me, i updated with an ilife11 dvd, iphoto now won't open says i need to do the software update but everything is up to date when i run the update.  I tried to do the steps you suggested above, but i can't 'get info' on iphoto to see what version i have, when i try to click the icon the same little box pops up saying i need to update to latest version, run software update now to install.  I did try searching another way and it looks like i have iphoto 9.0 on Mac and last modified last night when i did what i thought was an ugrade. i was under the impression i was upgrading my current iphoto 9 to iphoto 11 when i did the ilife dvd.  (im computer illiterate) anyhow i can't open iphoto now and im wondering if i've just lost all my pictures that i've never backed up, at this point i could care less about upgrading to the newest app, i just want all my photos back.  Do you think i should put the dvd back in and try it again or will that just mess everything up now (new apps and other updates that came on that dvd seem fine when i open them) 
    I'm using a Mac OS X version 10.6.8

  • 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.
