FCP HD STUDIO Malfunctions After HD Crash and New HD Install

OK Pro's! I know that someone out there has had something like this happen. My PM G5's original internal Hard Drive crashed and with the help of the Apple Tech @ repair unit got most of my Programs only recovered. I decided to install new 500 MB HD in unit too. Used Migration assistant to move files. Now Final cut runs like road kill. Often hangs up and frequently have to force quit. Of course I could use iMovie but why when FCP Studio 5 HD is on system and does it all better (used to at least).
Any hints, helps, clues, and knowledgeable guidance is welcomed.
thx.

Yes, that's what I'm recommending for you.
Insert your Tiger install dsioc in the SuperDrive, double-click on the install icon, and when the installer reboots and begins, click through until you reach the Installation Type screen, then click on the Options button. Select Erase & Install and go for it.
Then, after the installer finishes, update to v10.4.6 again, repair permissions in Disk Utility at every step. Then reinstall your apps, update them, and repair permissions at every step.
Should be Good to Go.
At the end of this, you'll have a huge 500GB Scratch Disk that will be very fast and reliable. Use your firewire drives for archiving media & projects.

  • After laptop crash and new installation, how can i transfer my ipad content towards itunes ?

    HI,
    I had to change my hard disk on my laptop, and then resintall windows from scratch. After reinstalling iTunes, I want to transfer the content of my iPad2, iPhone and 2 iPods on iTunes.
    However, when I want to synchronisze, iTunes brings an alert indicating that the content of the deveices will be replaced by the computer library (which of course is empty after the reinstallation).
    Any help or advice please ?

    Thank you. That would have worked too, but before getting the answer I found another solution: what I finnaly did was use Detunes to copy my books from the iPad. It was quite fast too. Any of those could have worked quite nicely.

  • Issue: Main speaker doesn't work after 2.0 and new apps installed

    I'm having problems with the main listening speaker on my phone after updating to 2.0 and downloading a couple of radio stations programs. I can hear anything from this side, I have to set this as speaker mode in order to hear the person that I'm calling. I uninstalled all the applications and still have the same issue. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

    Thank you, that fixed my problem. Apple should upgrade my phone for free.

  • Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard?  I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard.  Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard.  I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard.  Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

    Hi,
    Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
    Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

  • Latest Revel IOS update crashes and won't install

    I have been using Revel v 2.3.1-548 on iPhone 5 and iPad 3 without any issues. An update was released today (29 June) and this won't install and crashes the app on both devices so I have had to go back to the old version. Anyone else having this problem?

  • My hard drive recently crashed and I just installed a new one.  Is there any way to

    My hard drive recently crashed and I just installed a new one.  Is there any way to get back my library? I only have 10 albums, where before I had over 100.  I don't think I backed up to the cloud but thought it was contained within my apple ID.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hey brituck,
    Thanks for the question. If you music you are missing is content that was purchased from the iTunes Store, you may be able to re-download it free of charge:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Furthermore, the following article outlines how to back up your iTunes Library to avoid this scenario in the future, I hope that you find it helpful:

  • External Hard Drive not recognised after horrible crash and reformat.

    There's yet another problem with my MBP.
    First of all this happened: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=969838&tstart=0
    Since I got it fixed I bought a 500GB Freecom external Hard-drive and used it to back up all my stuff. It was a case of plugging it into the USB port and it mounted on the desktop. I've had it for about a month.
    I've only just got my MBP back from getting the keyboard replaced, then on Saturday night it crashed. And kept crashing. Then it wouldn't boot. Then it crashed when booting. Then it took me to a command prompt. I reset all the parameters laid out in the troubleshooting guide. I managed to boot in safe mode, but my Freecom drive wouldn't mount anymore. But it kept crashing and crashing. I finally managed to boot from the installation CD and I reformatted the drive and installed OS X (Tiger) afresh. But now my Freecom drive won't show up on the desktop at all!
    I ran a Hard Ware test after the reformat, and the code 4MEM/2/40000000 came up, then again, 1FCA8574, then 41530574.
    When I had the Freecom plugged in it would show in System profiler but not mounted on the desktop.
    What is wrong? I am really annoyed because my Warranty ran out yesterday and I'm only after getting it back from Apple to get the keyboard replaced!
    Please help!

  • After Effects crashed and wont open

    Ok so a few days ago I was working on After Effects CS5 and it crashed while rendering. I've to open it many times but always gives me the same message. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but the problem remains. And also downloading all adobe updates and it still doesn't work. If anyone could please help, if anyone actually knows the problem.
    This is the window that keeps appearing. Stressing me out!

    To clear all preferences, delete the entire 10.0 folder. After Effects will recreate a fresh copy when it starts.

  • Sync iPod color after computer crash and loss of music

    How do I sync my older iPod color now with a new windows vista computer and not lose the music already on the iPod? the older hard disc crashed and was not recoverable so all of the downloaded music over 2000 songs were lost but are still on the iPod. How can I connect it to the newer computer without losing all of the music that is now on it. I have new music on the newer computer I would like to add but have been afraid to connect it in fear of losing all of my music.

    Hello mrsphilly,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • I pulled the bookmarks html file off of my computer after it crashed, and am trying to get my old bookmarks into firefox. How does one do that?

    When my computer crashed, we managed to recover a bunch of the files and information from it. One of the files we pulled was the bookmarks.html from the firefox folder. The computer was running on Vista when it crashed, and I now have it running 7 Professional. The file is recorded as a Chrome html file on the new computer, and when I click on it, it pulls up a basic html page within Chrome or firefox that has links to the firefox website (kind of like a webpage version of the bookmarks folder from the toolbar, but without any of the bookmark adding capabilities). I'd like to get my old bookmarks loaded into firefox. Help?

    Firefox hasn't used the '''bookmarks.html''' file for storing bookmarks since the Firefox 2 versions, in 2008. Later versions use '''places.sqlite''' for bookmarks and history. What you have is the default file that Firefox uses on new installations and new Profiles, which has like 6 bookmarks.
    If you still have access to that old hard drive, see this for help: <br />
