FCP will not open on my new iMac G5 (iSight)

I have i have FCP 4.5 and just recently accquired a new 20" iMac G5 (iSight). I installed FCP on my new mac and it doesn't want to start up. I get a message that says "Configuration error: This software requires hardware or software which is missing. AGP graphics card."
Has anyone else heard of this problem and if so how can you fix it?
I greatly appreciate in advance to any and all help.

Well I found the Final Cut Pro 4 'info.plist' (Made a copy of it first) and opened it and found 'AGP' and replaced it with and typed in 'PCI'.
(The 'info.plist' file opened up in some software called 'Omni Outliner', any idea what this is?)
Clicked on Final Cut Pro 4 and now it works!
No idea how it has worked but Im impressed and very pleased that it has! Thank again for that link.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • Verity Credit Union site will not open with the new Firefox. How can I get the old Firefox back?

    I want old Firefox back. My credit union, Verity, will not open with the new version of Firefox I have downloaded.

    @glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
    Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • FCP will not open after upgrade to snow leopard

    I ran MacKeeper on my MacPro, then my FCP would not open. Upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, FCP still will not open.
    By the way, I uninstalled MacKeeper, I think.  Need some help PLEASE!!!!!

    It sounds like MacKeeper (it's junk! stay away!) did a number on your computer. Doing a major upgrade to a Mac when it already has problems will just exacerbate those problems.
    Had you been using Time Machine? How long ago did you install MacKeeper?

  • When I click on a web link and hold down ctrl the page will not open into a new tab, it is just opening in a new window. How do I correct this?

    When I use to hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the page use to open into a new tab. For some reason this is not working anymore. Instead when I hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the link will open into a new window. How do I fix this?

    I figured out how to correct it. Not sure what exactly was happening. But I started into private browsing and then turned it off. It's been working correctly ever since I did private browsing.

  • When I click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab, but I have this option checked?

    I have two issues since upgrading to FF4. The first issue is, when I click on a bookmark it will not automatically open in a new tab. I do have this option checked in my preferences, but it will not work. The second issue is when I search in the Google box, I cannot click on the auto search option.

    Bookmarks always open in the current tab unless you middle-click or use Ctrl + left-click to open the bookmarks in a new tab just like you do with other links.
    There are extensions that can change that behavior.

  • Photoshop CS6 Will not open files\create new\function properly

    Hello,
    I have a licensed Photoshop CS6 installed on Windows 8.1 64bit.
    This morning the software has started to have the following issue:
    Photoshop will not create any new files (With the exclusion of spamming CTRL+N I have managed to open a new project)
    Photoshop will not load an existing file through its panel of any format (double click on file yet nothing happens)
    While trying to use any tool I have noticed that some of the clicks (Mouse or Keyboard) do not go through - some of them are being generated and some are not.
    Sometimes Photoshop will not respond to clicks - if I drag a window other it forcing explorer to refresh the desktop the changes are being shown - otherwise Photoshop will remain stuck
    After browsing the web for hours I have noticed a few people had similar issues as I have yet non of the steps which helped them to solve this issue have done any good to me.
    I have taken the following steps:
    Turned off "Use Graphic Processor"
    Re-booted my computer
    Re-installed Photoshop
    Updated my graphic card's drivers
    I have read another thread talking about some Nvidia cards which encounter issue with drivers yet I'm using an Radeon card - My PC spec:
    Intel i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz
    8GB RAM
    ATI Radeon R7 200
    Windows 8.1
    I have made the following video which describes the issues: (The black screen is me popping ALT+CTRL+DEL)

    Thank you in advance!

    We've heard of a few examples of this - but they always seem to come down to other applications interfering with UI in Photoshop, malware, or needing to reinstall the OS.
    There have only been a handful of reports, and we haven't been able to isolate the cause - but we know that it is something outside of Photoshop.  Sometimes it works shortly after rebooting the system, but then fails until the system is rebooted again (very strong evidence that the cause is outside of Photoshop).  A few people have reported that after reinstalling the OS, the problem went away.

  • GB will not open due to new sounds bug - no answers

    Error message - "New Post - GarageBand was not able to install new sounds. Close and re-open GarageBand to download and install them again".
    Saw one thread on this and there was no resolution at the end of it. Seemed like multiple people are suffering the same issue. This bug makes Garageband not work at all. I have no way to record! Has anyone spoken to apple? Called applecare? Come up with a definitive fix? I'm so frustrated right now. Early 2008 iMac with newly installed Yosemite and most recent version of garageband. Please help me.

    obviously the "new post" was not part of the error message - just copied and pasted potential header.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • When i click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab

    I just got a Macbook Pro and installed Firefox. On a PC, whenever I clicked on a bookmark, it opened in a new tab. The same settings do not work on a Mac. The bookmark opens in the same tab I was on. Help please

    Hello,
    My understanding is that the default action for left clicking a bookmark is to open in the current tab. If you want to open in a new tab, the middle click button is usually the way to do it.
    Alternatively, you can install the following extension which will force all bookmarks to open in a new tab:
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
    Or this extension which will provide more options for tabs (including what you want):

  • Premiere & AE CC will not launch/respond on new iMac

    I bought a brand new iMac last week in order to complete a video project.
    I'm running OS 10.9, and installed the Premiere Pro and After Effects CC Trials yesterday.
    NEITHER program will complete launch with the "Admin User" account I imported from my old Mac, but they WILL launch and work fine from a NEW "Admin User" account I created as a test. 
    I ran the Adobe CLEANER, did uninstalls and re-installs of BOTH programs and the Adobe CC Desktop. No luck.
    This is what happens:
    Premiere spends a couple minutes trying to launch...and then fails.  The launch graphic sits there for a couple minutes, then seems like it might be making progress.  "Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle"hits the progress screen, and after 30 seconds of that "Adobe Premiere Pro CC quit unexpectedly."
    After Effects gives an error immediately upon launch
    "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/drleek/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.1/Workspaces.2147.1407351242514081.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'."
    with an additional error
    "After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup"
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hey blankenship and cmiller815,
    Not sure if you ever got the problem fixed, but I was having the same issue you described and was able to find a solution.  I tried all the troubleshooting steps outlined in this discussion; deleting prefs, uninstall, re-install, etc.  and found that the answer was to go to the folder in the prefs /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.1/Workspaces.2147.1407351242514081.xml'  and to set the permissions to allow read and write for all users on the machine on the main 12.1 folder.  I should add that I also ran a permissions repair using disk utility thinking that it would resolve my issue but it didn't.  It seems that for some reason the permissions got messed up after doing my data migration with migration assistant to my new iMac. 
    I was prompted to try this from because of this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/5863018#5863018
    I hope this helps and that you figure out your issue.

  • Adobe Photoshop elements - the catalog will not open on the new laptop I just bought.

    I installed the Adobe software for Elements 5.0. The catalog won't open. The new laptop uses Windows 7. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I rectify the problem?

    Hi,
    Actually, I did eventually get it to open. However, the photos are no longer tagged. I recovered the photos from my external hard drive, which is where I always stored them.
    So you are saying that I would need to actually to a BACKUP from ELEMENTS itself? If I do that, the tags will still be attached to the photos? I have over 6000 photos. I do not want to have to reorganize and re tag them again.
    Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!

  • Will not open link in new tabs, some of my add ons are not working properly

    I am using Firefox 3.6.6
    My add ons, such as Gmail Notifier and Forecast Fox are not showing up on the bottom, but they are all enabled and updated. Also, when right click and select Open Link in New Tab, it opens an Untitled tab.
    == This happened ==

    The current version of Greasemonkey is compatible with Firefox 29. Could you check to make sure it is not turned off? There should be a "monkey" icon on the toolbar. Clicking that icon turns Greasemonkey on and off; the "off" state is designated by a faded icon, while the "on" state has a full-colored icon.
    More generally, could you check for possible extension updates and disable unimportant extensions in case one of those conflicts with Firefox?
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, look for the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
    I also suggest disabling any extensions you won't be using for the next 24 hours so that you can test whether that improves Firefox's functioning.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any difference?
    One possible reason for hangs, especially where you eventually get a dialog indicating that a script is running slowly, is Flash. To minimize sites from using Flash unnecessarily, try setting Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
    On the Add-ons page, in the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
    Any noticeable difference?
