Fcp won't start up, No Matter What I Try

FCP hops once on the dock as I click it, then sits like a lame duck. Tried all the usual stuf, prefs, plugins, new account. So far zippo. Am installing from disc now, not much hope thugh. A small disaster.
Anyone?

If you've already tried the usual suspects then a full Final Cut Studio uninstall first (using FCS Remover), maybe followed by a Safe Boot and Permissions repair for good measure then reinstall Final Cut Studio ... if nothing else it will make you feel like you are doing something!
Good luck

My mac won't start up no matter what

So basically, I tried to download the new leopard on my mac and then since it took so long I tried to quit it. Then I restarted my mac a lot and like, it just screwed up and won't log in or anything after I restarted. The cd won't eject. It just stayed on the gray screen with the apple icon and the spinning pinwheel. I left it like that for a week or so. Then one day I turned it on and the cd popped out but it was still on the gray screen.
But it's been about 1 MONTH and it still won't work. It's still always on that stupid gray screen with the apple icon. Please someone help me!!!!!!
thanks in advance.

Interrupting an OS install is likely to end up with no workable OS, new or old, left on the drive. Have you tried booting from your OSX CD and repairing the drive with Disk Utility? You can also try starting up in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and then restarting in normal mode if that works.

Help :( Skype 7.1 won't stop crashing no matter what I try.

Last night I got a msg to update my skype to version 7.1, so I did that and turned off my laptop.
Today I logged on my laptop and logged in Skype, and right after I logged in, not even 30 seconds later, on the home page it comes up with a msg that says "skype has stopped working" and the program closed.
I tried everything on this list to see if I could fix it, https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10382/why-does-skype-for-windows-desktop-crash-my-computer?frompage=search&q=skype%20crashes?q=skype+crashes+on+start+up
There was no problems with my laptop, no viruses, nothing blocking it from working, and no corrupted files or errors. I even tried to install a previous version of Skype, and tried older Skypes, (7.0, 6.9) as well. But nothing has worked so I uninstalled all of it, and put 7.1 back but I still can't get my Skype to stop crashing at startup.
I keep thinking it has to be caused by the Skype 7.1 update because up until I did that, my Skype worked perfectly. I haven't been able to use Skype all day, can someone help please? I don't know what else to try.

IPod won't turn on no matter what I try!!

Maybe a couple days ago, I noticed that my iPod wouldn't turn on, even if I toggled the hold switch or held down menu. I know it should be charged, since I have a home iPod dock where I keep it charged. I then plugged it into my computer with the USB cord, but my computer didn't even acknowledge that the iPod was connected. I have used two different USB ports, and still nothing. Please, ANY IDEAS?!

Firstly, sorry for my poor English, but I would like to share with you my experience, and hope that it may helps you.
Since the release and update of iTunes 7, I have not faced any problem, but I heard a lot of articles from this forum about the errors 1417, 1418, 1428 and 50 etc. I could not make any suggestion and find a solution about it, all I could do is to copy some threads from some successful cases mentioned on this forum.
Until yesterday, I finally received a 4th Gen 20GB iPod (around 2 years old)from a friend and asked me whether I could fix it for him, which has been left untouched as a paper-weight for almost 2 months.
I tried to turn it on, and the screen was completed blank and the device looked dead. Before doing anything I prepared the following:-
1. A window based PC
2. A Mac computer
3. An USB iPod cable
4. A Firewire iPod cable
5. An iPod AC charger
As the iPod was previously formatted on a PC, therefore I tried to plug it with a PC via USB cable, it did not response and not able to get recognized by the PC. I ejected the iPod and connected with an AC charger, after a few minutes, I did a Reset for the iPod
How to reset iPod
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
The iPod showed an Apple sign, it stuck there for almost a minute, the screen then showed a battery with an exclamation mark sign, and after a minute, the iPod turned off itself. I was sure that the iPod carried very low battery, and could not be charged by connecting it with any computer (both Mac and PC).
I decided to let it have a charge with an AC charger for a bit longer, after 10 minute I did the Reset again, this time a sign of folder with exclamation mark showed up after the Apple sign, and again could not get recognized by a computer.
I changed my mind, and put the iPod into disk mode
Putting iPod into disk mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Instead of connecting with a PC, I plug it with my Mac using a Firewire cable, it did not response, so I switched the cable to an USB, interestingly, the iPod got recognized and a window pop up indicating that the iPod needed to do a Restore. Therefore I clicked ìRestoreî, after a few seconds, an Error message pop-up with Error Message 1417, the sign that I have been waiting for quite sometime.
I ejected the iPod and the screen immediately showed a folder exclamation mark (a sign indicating a corrupted or a failure iPod OS). I am forced to put the iPod into disk mode again, connected with the Mac computer and open the Disk Utility
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab ìPartitionî, click either ìDeleteî or ìPartitionî, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab ìEraseî , choose Volume Format as ìMAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the ìSecurity Options....î and choose ìZero Out Dataî before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click ìRestoreî
It managed to complete the Restore process, and started to sync with the iTunes. However, it got stuck at the song no.238 from the total of 2000. I left it for an hour, but with no process, instead the iPod became ìHotî and the iTunes showed an Error message of 1428. I ejected the iPod from my Mac computer, the iPodís screen turn to show the famous killer icon;ìThe Sad iPodì.
This time it was totally dead, even failed to put it into Disk Mode and non of the computer could recognize it. Sigh, I hated to do it but I knew that I must did the following:-
Holding the iPod in my Palm, and hitting it on a surface of a Sofa with 5 attempts.
Did not surprise me, the iPod turned on and it showed the Language Menu on the screen. So, I put it into Disk Mode and connected with my window PC.
The PC showed a sign and indicated that an USB device had been connected with it. I opened the iTunes and did a Restore there.
However, an Error Message 50 showed up, but I were not worried about it, connected it back with my Mac computer with it in Disk Mode. As expected the iTunes opened and allowed me to do a Restore there.
This time it managed to complete the process and a window of register pop up. After the completed the process, the iPod started to sync with the iTunes again, which finally managed to complete the process.
I left it connecting with the AC charger overnight. In the next morning, I switched it on and have a play with it, I am so glad as it is working like a charm.
From the above experience, I would like to share it with the user the following:-
1. It always better to charge with an ac charger instead of the computer, as when an iPod carrying with very low battery, it may not able to get charge from a computer
2. Try to connect the iPod with a computer, switching between USB and Firewire
3. Try to format an iPod with HD problem, with a different kind of computer e.g. Mac or PC, as the formats are totally different, the way it formats may able to solve the bad sectors on the HD
4. It may get better chance to get your iPod recognized, if you put it in Disk Mode
I hope the following works in your case as I did.

My iMac has a Kernel Panic screen come up on start up and I can't get past it no matter what I try. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

My mac has a "Kernel Panic" screen come up on start up. No matter what I try I can't get past this to fix it. Any hints out there? Do I have to completely wipe my drive and re-install to fix this? I can't even back up my files before doing this as like I say I can't get past the Kernel Panic message.

There are some fairly informative articles about kernel panics...
•OS X: About kernel panics:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Note the toggle triangles to get more info in the above article, some are
important steps, with alternative methods of accessing or performing a
suggested activity and may vary with the OS X version in use.
•Resolving Kernel Panics:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
•Technical Note: TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2063/_index.html
The above TN covers several technical aspects to identify & troubleshoot.
Some are above the average user needs, but still can be rather helpful.
Hopefully you can get past the kernel panic screen, there are several
ways to attempt to do that, however if the issue is hardware, a reinstall
of the OS X may not cure the underlying cause of the symptom.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.

If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

My ipod 5 won't turn on at all no matter what i try

my ipod 5 won't turn on at all no matter what i try.
even though I try to charge it it wont charge and it wont turn on.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Try a hard reset while connected to power: (adapter, not iTunes on computer): Press and hold both the Home button and Sleep/wake button at the same time for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple Logo appears.
If this doesn't work: try to force restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

HT2729 When I hit camera then try 'Video' the program won't start just photos. What's wrong?

When I hit camera then try 'Video' the program won't start just photos. What's wrong?

Sounds to me like you are trying to tap on the word VIDEO.
To change to video you don't tap on the word VIDEO. Instead, you drag the centre of the screen down. That will change the option from PHOTO to VIDEO.
Of course, to go back to PHOTO or to SQUARE you drag the centre of the screen up.

Can't get rid of prohibitory icon no matter what I try

Every time I try to start up, no matter what technique I use -- 10.3 System disk startup, Command S, x, the darned thing keeps giving me the prohibitory icon. All peripherals are removed.
It was working fine a few hours ago. What appeared to preceed it was having a problem with Word 2004, which kept freezing on me. I uninstalled and re-installed several times without getting it to work.
What the heck can I try now?

Hi marigold
Have you seen these Apple articles on prohibitory sign/ Start Up difficulties?

My iPod Touch 4gen turn on or reset no matter what I try?

My iPod Touch won't start no matter what I try. For a while it wasn't being used and when I tried it wouldn't turn on. I tried charging it thinking it just might be dead but nothing still. Plugging it into the computer doesn't help neither. Also when Iplug it in iTunes does not open up like if it's responding to a device. I've tried the holding down the home botton and power down for seconds but again nothing.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

I NEED DESPERATE HELP! ADWARE THAT DOES NOT GO AWAY NO MATTER WHAT I TRY

So I was downloading something to my computer and, of course, I got stuck with that Only Search thing and no matter what I try it DOES NOT GO AWAY. I tried turning off my extensions, I tried switching networks, I tried resetting safari. Deleting my history. Every. Single. Thing.
And nothing works.
Pleas please PLEASE someone help me with getting rid of this I HATE having an adware.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc. But iTunes will now not open no matter what I try and do. Please help me!!!!!!!!

I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc but now I cannot open iTunes not matter what I try and do.
Very frustrating. Have read the trouble shooting info on Apple website but nothing has worked.
Someone please help. I cannot access any of my music.

Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

Excel (Office 2010 64 bit) will not connect to Oracle DB not matter what I try

Hello Everyone,
I started a new role that requires me to interact with an Oracle DB using Excel. Currently I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle clients installed on my Windows 7 PC.
Firstly I can TNSPing the database I need to connect to, I can also connect using SQLPlus to the desired database, I can even connect using TOAD.
No matter what I try I cannot connect using Excel VBA (Office 2010 64 bit).
The process below used to work for me in a different location, now the objDatabase always is returned "Empty"
Set objSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
Set objDataBase = objSession.OpenDatabase("database server", "user name/passsword", 0&)
I am not even able to set up a simple ODBC connection working. I get a error "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable."
When using a ADODB connection I get this error. Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and default driver specified.
I have place the TNSNames file in both Oracle Home's
I have even reinstalled Office 2010.

Hi,
The 12577 error (12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable) is related to Windows Environment or Oracle Home PATH because sqlplus command works smoothly when I execute it inside ORACLE_HOME\bin.
There are two solutions to this issue:
1. Put the Oracle DB Home in front of the other paths in the PATH environment variable.
2. Remove ORACLE_HOME From environment Variable and re-boot PC
