FCP updates problems

I cannot update fcp 5.0 to fcp 5.0.4 because it keeps telling
me that i already downloaded the update.When i look for it
on my computer i find it in library receipts but everytime
i try to install, it fails and says try again. whats going on here?

I'd Uninstall it, then Reinstall FCP 5.0. The procedure for the uninstall is here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337
Are you installing from the studio disks? or an fcp disk?
You should be running 10.4.8 and QT 7.1.3 if you're not too.
Clean installs are paramount for everything to work OK. if you haven't rebuilt that G4's startup disk in a while it very well be time before you want to start running FCP... I've an article in the free COW magazine here:http://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/newpage_wrapper.cgi?forumid=1&page=http://www.creativecow.net/magazine/cowmagsubscribe.html You can read about setting up an FCP system solidly there in the first issue.
I've not read about this happening much FWIW... so it should be fixable.
If this is a new install, Apple will help for free over the phone with you. 1-800-myapple

  • FCP Update 5.1.2 problem

    Wondering if anybody has this same problem?
    Last night, like a good Apple plebe, I loaded all the updates Apple recommended:
    FCP Update 5.1.2
    Mac OS X Update (PowerPC) 10.4.8
    iTunes 7.0.1
    Pro Applications Update 2006-02 1.0
    Cinema Tools Update 3.1.2
    After rebooting my machine all the apps worked except FCP. I went to the support page and did everything asked of me. Got rid of 3rd party QT plug-ins, deleted preferences, etc...
    Nothing worked.
    So, I deleted FCP and loaded it from the discs. It booted up. Hurray!!
    So, why not I thought? I loaded FCP Update 5.1.2 again, and guess what... it wouldn't boot FCP. I deleted the program again and reinstalled it and it seems to work fine. Not sure if anybody else has experienced this yet, and can offer a solution. I am just going to avoid loading the update for now.
    Thought somebody might find this interesting.

    Here I am replying to my own message.
    After reading a post regarding this problem on Creative Cow it turns out to be a Zazwerks plug-in. In this case 3d Flag. I use it in Motion.
    The path is Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug/Zaxwerks3DFlag.fxplug
    When I remove that last folder, the Zaxwerks one, FCP 5.1.2 loads no problem. Put the plug-in back, and no loading.
    There you go. Causes me some problem as I am using the plug-in for a client project in Motion, but I guess we'll just move it in and out until a fix is developed.

  • Problems with FCP update 10.1.3

    I attempted to install the FCP update on August 20th.
    Since then I have not been able to open FCP.
    I click on the icon in my dock. The mac app store opens and this warning message pops up: Final Cut Pro can not be opened while it is being updated.
    FCP is not listed as a recently installed update on my list of updates (compressor worked fine). There are no other updates in my mac app store to be installed.
    I have restarted my computer. But am not so great at tech stuff so not sure what to do next.
    Thanks for any help,
    Rosalee

    Sounds like the download is incomplete. Move the application to the trash and use the Install button from the Purchases page of the App Store.

  • Resizing of images after FCP update not working. When I try to resize, It resizes a blank transparent image.

    I am having trouble resizing images after I installed the FCP update. When I press the transform button, and then click on teh image, I go to the little blue dots on the side of the image that usually resize the image, and when I drag them out, instead of the image resizing, a black trasparent rectangle the same size as the photo expands outward to my desired size. This has happened to me before the update when trying to resize text, but the problem usually fixed itself once I clicked again on the text line in the editing section.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Russ,
    It doesn't work that way either, however it's okay because I solved the problem. Turns out I had to select 'add keyframe' on either the 'crop' or 'distort' tabs and it fixes itself. No idea why but the problem is solved! Thanks for your help anyhow.

  • FCP Update 5.1.4

    I too seem to need the latest FCP Update 5.1.4... been a registered user for years now and can't seem to bring it up... anyone know where i can find it?
    PULEEEASE?

    well i tried that sight, and the closest i could get to the update was the Pro App update... still nothing so far.. my biggest problem right now is, thinking 5.1.4 could help, is that the program freezes nearly every time i try to do some rendering... any one have any ideas as to why?

  • Update problem - VBDATA table

    Dear All,
    We have update problems in our Quality systems, and also in every R/3 system that we create from a Production system copy.
    Sometime the UPD and UP2 work processes hung without apparent reason.
    In the SM50 I can see one or more of my update processes running for a lot of time (many hours) on the table VBDATA without perform any action.
    In the tcode SM12 I donu2019t see any kind of lock, and I donu2019t understand why only sometime this problem happens.
    Of course, from the SM13 I can see that during this problem the system is not able to perform any kind of update.
    As I told in the beginning of the message, I have the same problem in other two R/3 systems, both created with a system copy from the production system.
    The Production and the Developer systems seem not affected by this problem.
    Have you got any idea about the reason of the problem?
    Even if the Production systems is not directly affected, all the IT department is not able to work on the Quality system (or any other Test system), and the only workaround is to kill the UPD (or UP2) WPs affected.
    Thanks in advance,
    Federico Biavati
    My R/3 System is a 4.7 on SLES9 and Oracle 10.2.0.2

    Hello Siva,
    This is what I did:
    > Check how many entries do you have in VBDATA currently.
    More than 1.000 in every SAP systems that Iu2019m creating from Production
    > You might want to run the reorganize updates program to clear the old updates
    > that are pending/in error
    Good point!!
    After the reorganization (ST14 u2013 Reorganize update requests) the table VBDATA is empty.
    Iu2019ll check and Iu2019ll let you know if the problem is definitively solved.
    Thanks for you help,
    Federico

  • Chart x scale update problem

    LabVIEW  8.5.1
    Sweep Chart Problem
    The x scale values do not update until after the 2nd sweep.  The red line cursor gets to the end of the sweep and starts the next, but the scale numbers do not update until the next sweep starts.
    It appears to be a problem with the chart, since it happens with any vi with a sweep chart.  I've used versions 6 through 7 for years and never seen this.  I've only recently moved to a new job with a new machine and version 8.5.1., so I'm not sure what to try.
    I've included a simple example.
    Thanks much,

    You have a typical race condition!
    There is no data dependency between the property node and the while loop, so in your case the loop starts executing first and the property node starts slightly later, immediately erasing the first point. Execution order is not defined.
    All you need to do is add a data dependency, e.g. as with the error cluster in the image. This forces the property node to complete before the loop is allowed to start.
    (Execution order is enforced even if the wire value is not even used inside the loop )
    Try it!

  • 10.5.7 update problems

    After installing the 10.5.7 update, Mail, iTunes and iPhoto will not run anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

    Before I came to these apple discussions re: update problems with 10.5.7, I tried to update this version yesterday and at the end of the download this message came up, the update "Mac OS X update" can't be saved. The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed to Apple.
    I got the same message. The downloaded file that generated the message was only about 560 KB, indicating it was an incomplete download. I moved it to the trash & tried again. The second download attempt succeeded. I had a minor if nerve-wracking issue with the update (the blue looping screen reported in another topic in this forum) but after a forced shutdown & restart the update was completed successfully.
    I have since updated my two other Macs so all those listed in my profile are now running 10.5.7. All do so without any problems & in fact work better & more stably than ever before.
    I doubt that I'm unusual in this respect. Some users will have problems but I believe most won't, & for those that do most problems will turn out to be caused by something other than the update itself. So it has been for every previous Leopard update; I see no reason to think this one will be any different.

  • Cache update problem in Integration Directory

    Hi all,
    We have a cache update problem in our PI development server.
    If we try to edit, save and activate any of the ID objects, under Cache notifications>Central Adapter Engine> all these objects are displayed as gray items.
    We have tried:
    1. Clearing the SLD Data Cache.
    2. Did SXI_CACHE complete refresh.
    3. Did CPA cache refresh.
    4. Did a complete cache refresh of the server.
    5. Restarted the server.
    But still the problem has not bee resolved. Could you pls provide your inputs and resolution points.
    Thank you very much.
    regards,
    Jack Nuson

    HI Jack ,
    first try to manually update the cache from ID select on your cache notifiaction and click on delta cache refresh button and refresh button .IF it does not yied any result then
    Perform a full cache refresh using the URL
    http://<host>:<port>/CPACache/refresh?mode=full . If the cache refresh happens properly then your problem will get resolved other wise you have to see the cache log to view why it failed there it will show you the exact reason . You might need to restart your java server also if the problem persist .
    Regards,
    Saurabh

  • Twitter Update Problem

    Seems I have a Twitter Update problem. 1. I have no pirated software on my computer either from the App Store or anywhere else. 2. I did buy a set off templates for iWork through the App Store with my Bosses Apple ID (it's for work). Is that really the problem. That's ridiculous.  The apple ID is mine, as is much of the software, but it's a computer use for work. If this is true it makes the App Store a lot less useful.

    my apologies I was so annoyed. I didn't bother to state my issue. The issue is: Twitter is constantly asking to be updated. Even after it's updated. Even if it's deleted. I looked at the forums for a solution and found that people were having this problem who installed pirated app store apps.
    I am logged into the app store on my account. All but one of the apps on my machine that come from the app store are on my account. However there is one piece of software on my account that I purchased, by logging out and logging in with her ID, purchasing it, installing and logging out, and again logging in as myself. I don't have an issue with that app. However Twitter, which was installed under my username, constantly says it needs to be updated. Hope that makes it clearer.
