FCP HD won't run on new alu iMac 20"

I'd be interested to know if anybody has a work around for this problem: I just purchased a new 20" aluminium iMac and installed my copy of FCP 4.5 HD - BUT - I get an error message stating that FCP can't open because there's no AGP card!
I've been using an eMac G4 with FCP 4.5 HD and it's been great for what I need. Now I buy a new iMac and I get this error. Are you kidding me Apple?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Oliver, I followed the link to http://www.geekymac.com/?p=243 and made the code changes (like we did back in the day when iDVD wouldn't run on a Mac without a superdrive) and now FCP opens just fine. Hopefully this will help others with the same predicament and performance will be satisfactory.

My processer won't run the new update ?

I have an iBook G4. After downloading the new version of Firefox it will not run so I have to continue with the older version. I continuously get messages telling me my version is out of date which is getting annoying.
Apple want me to buy a new computer at about £1000 which I can't afford.even if I could, the old programmes won't run on new processors so I would the have to buy them all again. not a good AD for apple? Greed rears it's ugly head!!!.
Thanks in anticipation. Regards Geoff Downend.

Selecting sound output on new alu iMac

I realise there have been quite a few posts about similar topics in Apple Discussions, but I would be really grateful if somebody could answer this one. I am using Tiger 10.4.11 (i'm waiting for software updates for Leopard to be released before installing it).
My question is, why haven't I got the option to switch sound to my iMac's internal speakers while still having my headphones plugged in?
When I go to System Preferences > Sound, the only sound output options I have are 'Headphones', and the Bluetooth headset that I use for iChat. It seems logical to me that I should have the choice to switch between internal speakers and headphones.
When I unplug the headphones, the internal speakers show up, any ideas? Could it be something to do with the Audio MIDI setup options?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a newer alu iMac, 24" and I have SoundSticks connected (external speakers). My options for Sound in SysPrefs are the SoundSticks or internal speakers. I have the option to select either one, even while the external speakers are in use.
I would think that you should have similar options, but maybe the Headphone option cancels the internal speakers similarly to how cell phones work when an earpiece device is connected. You don't hear sounds coming from the phone until you disconnect the earpiece.

Aps won't run on new iphone4s

I bought a iphone4s, did a backup of my iphone4 and then a restore to the iphone4s, and now none of my aps will run - they flash the screen and then back to the home page. If I double click the home key they show along the bottom, but won't run. Any ideas?

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Will Final Cut Studio 1 run on new silver imacs running leopard?

looking for advice or answers to this dilemma of mine...
i've got a client who needs to run final cut pro 5(client owns intel upgraded version) using basic cutting features almost as an off-line editor to send his edit files and media to me to on-line edit. have been looking at used imac and have found a g5 imac but it seems too expensive compared to the price of the new imacs.
so my question.. is anyone out there running final cut studio 1 (FCP 5 et. al.) successfully on an intel machine using the leopard OS (ideally new gen. imac)? or should i bite the bullet and buy the used g5 imac at a ridiculously inflated price?
thanks in advance,
grant

I have a Quad G5 and an 8core 3ghz, both running FSC2 side by side. G5 is a FCS upgrade to FCS2 with the 8 core a brand new FCS2. The G5 still rocks, I have set renders going of the same HD edit and the 8 core wins by a tiny margin. The G5 has no problems but the 8 core fell apart with the 2.01 update. Compressor problems!
I thought about selling the G5 and buying another Intel but it hasn't let me down once in 18 months so I'm keeping it.

New Alu iMac disappointing me!

I have ordered a 20" 2.4G iMac on the day Apple announced it.
It arrived my home after a week and found that the iSight isn't functioning!
A week later, the replacement iMac arrived my home, iSight works this time, then I install Apps and Win XP with bootcamp.
In bootcamp, that is a NIGHTMARE!!!
Horrible sound, always get tails and lag. (No help by update driver)
Horrible display, static white dots show during gaming and playing movie!
Under OSX, no big problem so far but there is always buzzing sound from the speaker, with headphone, I can hear the sound like internal system(HDD) running.
What is Apple QC doing? Did they test or even use the machine before announce?
What should I do now? Return once again? I am afraid that I will receive a new machine with same problems.
You know, that is a general phenomenon for Alu iMac.

Hi AcousticWind
Sorry you are disappointed with the new iMac!
You can also let Apple know of your disappointed at iMac Feedback
Again sorry your experience has not been good!

FCP Project won't open in new version

I want to work on an old FCP project I haven't touched in years. I have all the files but not the application any longer (was FCP from 2004). I downloaded the new FCPX trial version but it won't recognize the older files. Do i need an older FCP version?

Depending on what you need to accomplish with this old project, don't discount the possibility of importing a flattened Quick Time movie and working with it in FCPX. Not ideal, but perhaps acceptable.
It seems like a waste to pay the considerable amount pf money that getting either Final Cut Studio 3 or 2 would presently require. (If you go to Amazon, you'll find new sets of FCS3 selling for premiums ranging from $300 to nearly $1,000 above the original price; used sets are selling for nearly as much as the original price.)
The apps in these suites were great for their times, but it's been well over four years since they recieved a refresh. Many who own them (myself included) continue to use them and expect to continue to do so on operating systems like Snow Leoppard for some time. But sooner or later, a new OS version will break them as will the dereasing cability to handle new formats.
Good luck.

I'm a developer I just bought a new laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service pack 1. I downloaded Firefox 11.0 and downloaded and installed the Adobe Flash plugin! I’ve tried just about everything to get the plugin working but Firefox tells me I have an old version and has turned it off for security reasons. I have included the Flash registry settings and the Flash install log. Dell install a version of flash but it looks like the ActiveX not the Plugin Dll. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and Flash many times it still won’t work. Firefox is no good to me without this plugin. Any help would be appreciated.

HP4560US won't run on new battery

I replaced my battery and let it charge until the charge light turned green before I used the new battery. My notebook also has a weak power jack and sometimes will quit powering the notebook until it is moved or twisted. Even with a full charge, it will only run for about 30 seconds if the AC power fails or if I try to run it on battery power only. I pulled the fully charged battery from the computer and pressed the test button on the side of the battery and it lit all but the last LED. Is the battery not charging sufficiently or is there a setting the allows changing the voltage level of a fully charged battery? In Power Management I have disabled all shut down options in an attempt to see how long it would run on battery alone.

The information you requested is as follows: Model Number is HP Pavillion ze4500 s/n CNF3432HP8 P/N DM736A#ABA ze4560US. There has been no new hardware OR drivers added recently. The operating system is Windows XP Home with the latest Service Pack.
However, while looking the computer over and the labels, I think I have found the problem. I won't know until I can get another charger which I have ordered. The plug on the power supply has a yellow plastic insulator that extended beyond the barrel of the connector. I had known for a long time that part of that had broken off. I DID NOT know where that piece had gone, thinking it broke in handling the power supply. I happened to look into the power jack (which is HPs weak point on all of their laptops....at least up to this model. I have replaced that jack at least twice and I believe a third time but there is barely enough to solder to the main board and I hesitated to try to replace it again) and found that broken ring of plastic inside the jack. I believe that power jack has a switch on it operated bye the insertion of the plug to charge the battery and I'm guessing that the ring is not allowing the battery to be connected to the mainboard when the AC power fails. I removed the battery to prevent a short while trying to remove the broken piece but failed to remove it. I have some other ideas to try but decided that I should wait until I receive a new power supply since after I run the battery down it may not recharge once that is removed.
Let me know what you think and I'll let you know how things turn out. If you believe I'm wrong about this, I'm open to any other thoughts. Thanks, Ron

Photoshop CS3 installs but won't run on new OS install

Hello,
I've been searching through the forums and have seen some users with a similar problem, but haven't found any info that's relevant to my situation.
I have done a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 and decided to install a brand-new copy of CS3 at the same time.
This computer is totally fresh - there are no printers, no TWAIN drivers, no funny fonts or games installed. The only software on this machine is Windows and whatever updates Windows Update has pushed out.
The Photoshop installer runs fine - no crashes or error messages. However, when I try to start up Photoshop, I just get the outer frame of the app window and (usually) the File / Edit / Image / Layer... menu bar. There is no splash screen, and no palettes appear. If I click anywhere in the app window, the menu bar disappears and the title bar says "Not responding".
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from both the DVD and the web download. I've tried selecting the "repair" option on the install screen. I've tried downloading and installing the 10.0.1 update.
I tried installing Lightroom and Reader to see if those work (they do).
I tried installing the latest video driver for my gfx card.
None of these change the behaviour I've been seeing at all. I opened a support case with Adobe about 4 days ago but haven't gotten a response yet.
Any thoughts? I was able to run PS CS1 on this computer just fine before I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Thanks,
Thomas Park

Hi Guys,
Ive got the same problems as you, Win XP SP2 on RAID 1 hard disk set on an AMD raid controller, but I have no driver to roll-back to.
Ive installed Photoshop CS3 and also Acrobat Standard 8 (which used to run fine on an old system), but all i get now is the blank window with the menu and title bar and thats all.
Can some one help? (will this licensing patch resolve the issue - and where can i get it from?)
Thanks

AppleWorks 6.2.7 won't run on new Macbook / Leopard

Hi,
I've just migrated from a G4 iBook to a 2.2GHz Macbook and while AppleWorks (v 6.2.7) installed OK, when I try to run it the application quits immediately.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
I suspect the problem is one or more of the following:
Recent Items: This is a bug to which AppleWorks seems to have become more sensitive with each step forward in Mac OS X. An excess of items in your Recent Items folder can slow AppleWorks to the point where it will crash on opening.
Cure: Delete all or most of the items from your Recent Items folder.
Location: MAC HD > yourname > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items
Corrupt Preferences file(s): Many AppleWorks problems are due to corruption of the AW .plist file or one of the other preference files that AppleWorks keeps for each user. Deleting the preference files is a task that should be done whenever AW crashes.
Location: MAC HD > yourname > Library > Preferences
Action 1: Delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist at this location
Action 2: Open the folder AppleWorks at this location. Delete the contents, with one possible exception: If you have made changes to the Button Bar, don't delete the Button Bar preferences file.
Permissions: A maintenance item for OS X (before and ) after any major installation, including installing new software.
Action: Launch Disk Utility, found in Applications > Utilities. Select your hard drive from the list at the left, click First Aid (if it's not already selected), then click Repair Permissions.
Unicode: AppleWorks is not Unicode compatible, and will crash on the first keystroke in any text environment (word processor, text frae in drawing, etc.)
Action: Open System Preferences > International... Input menu. Choose one of the "Roman" keyboard layouts.
Regards,
Barry
PS: AW 6.2.7 is NOT recommended as it is probably the most bug-filled recent version of AW 6. See my post (third from the top) in THIS THREAD for links to updaters.

Microsoft Office won't run on new computer

I bought a new G5 and did the complete disk transfer when I booted the new system up. Now I'm getting a message that says the "test drive" of Office is complete and I need to register a new product. Can anyone tell me why this is and how I fix it without having to buy another very expensive software package.

I just got a Mac mini and had the same problem. On investigating my Applications folder, it seemed that I'd transferred the old Microsoft Office stuff okay through my firewire, but there was also a 'test drive' version of it in there as well. This meant I could open Word / Excel etc fine from the dock, and then open documents within it, but if I tried to click on a document in the finder window or on the desktop, I got the 'test drive has expired' message.
Deleting the test drive version seems to have got round the problem. (Although just occasionally a file won't open, and gives me some other kind of error message which I can't remember, and of course it won't do it now!)
However, one problem I am having is that it won't automatically open Word attachments in Mail, and I have to manually tell it which program to use every time. Anyone know how to fix this one?

Moneywell won't run on new computer

I just purchased a new imac. I transferred applications from my macminit from a backup drive. When I try to run the Moneywell application, it wants me to log into the Mac App store and install it. The Mac App Store application says it is installed. So far, everything else I purchased from the app store works.

This thread concerns applications for Mac.
The problem was generated when using the migration assistant on a disk from my previous computer. This resulted in the situation where the Mac App Store thinks the application is installed, but when running the application, the application code sees itself as not installed correctly. Simply deleting the versions did not work. The Mac App Store still found the application installed. The problem was resolved by searching the disk to find associated configuration files. Once these were deleted, the Mac App Store sees the application as uninstalled and will allow the application to be installed.
Thank You.

Macbook Pro won't run on new battery

Okay, so I have this 17" MBP, late 2007 vintage, gotten refurbished in 2010. The battery, which was at about 700 cycles as of last week, swelled and was somehow still working up to the point when the new battery got here and was put in. That's fine with me, it's a refreshing change from the oodles of power cords I've gone through in the last several years. HOWEVER. The new battery, purchased off eBay from a highly-rated seller, had a cycle count of one when I installed it, and is now causing me problems. The couple of times I had it off the power cord right after putting the new battery in, it behaved a little erratically, shutting down in the thirty seconds it took me to change locations with it, but I didn't worry myself about it.
I had it off the power cord earlier today, and it was fine for half an hour or more, but then shut itself down abruptly. When I plugged it in and rebooted, it was showing the battery at about 50%. I did a little research and reset both the SMC and the PRAM, in the hopes that maybe it was just an issue of not really recognizing that it was a new battery yet. Immediately after those resets, during a bootup without being plugged in, it shut itself down before even completing the boot. I'm really hoping it's just a fluke with the new battery, and not that some other aspect of the MBP is failing, but I figured I'd ask around here before contacting the eBay seller.

If you did the SMC reset and no love, take it up with your highly-rated seller.

Latest version of iMovie won't run on late 2007 iMac?

After successfully downloading and installing Mavericks, Appstore tells me to update iMovie to the latest version. However when I try, it comes up and says "the video card on this computer cannnot support this version of iMovie" or soething to that effect. The iMac is late 2007, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR2, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB.
Is this legit or a fluke? If legit, can the video card be upgraded? I forgot if it is a separate unit or on the main PCB. Anybody know?
Many thanks,

For anyopne else with this issue, there is a similar thread over on the iMovie section. I'm trying the suggestion to copy an installation on a newer Mac over to the older one right now. We'll se what happens. I'll report back and close this thread if indeed it works...
