FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk

FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk.
I upgraded from an i5 to an i7 15" MBP and restored my files using my time machine backup. All seemed to go ok, except I had to use the migration assistant because on the initial boot the MAC didn't recognize the backup database on the USB device. MAybe this is a hint.
Since when I start FCPX it too cannot finnd the project or event directories.
Before my upgrade, I had a choice of files either on the Macintosh disk or the 2TB USB disk.
Now only files on the Macintosh are accessible to FCPX. The USB drive is visible under events and project but it finds no projects or events.
Please help if you can.
Thanks
Barry

Thanks... alas no one has responded.
I think I have the structure that you are recommending.
I have a root level directory (Final Cut Events) with the files in them.
The puzzling thing is that it used to work before the migration!.
Anyway I'm going to move the contents to the root and see what happens.
On a slightly different note...
I also posted a question about CPU utilization. Can I ask a question or two?
While rendering a short clip, I noticed burst of disk activity when the render started (likely loading the media files into ram since I have about 4Gigs available, then almost no activity while the render is happening, then more disk activity when its done.
However the cpu activity is not as high as I would have expected since rendering requires a lot of cpu.
What is your experience? I know some render is done by the GPU, but in my older i5 the CPU was about 100%, now in my i7 its about 50%.
Please look at the attached utilization for CPU and disk activity.
Thanks for any thoughts... Barry

FCP X does not recognize Final Cut Events folder

FCP X will always recognize both internal drives in my MacPro, named Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD2. About one third of the time it will see that both are present, but for Macintosh HD2 it will say there are no Events or Projects or anything else there for FCP X to read. After rebooting anywhere between 1 and 5 times it will recognize the Final Cut Events folder that is actually there and let me get on with my work. I have never changed anything about the folder manually or outside of FCP X, and it's not like it never recognizes the folder. It is only about a third of the time that it will not recognize it.
So I have a couple questions:
Is there any way to point FCP X to the events folder on a specific drive that it thinks is not there so I don't have to keep quitting FCP X and rebooting?
Is this a bug that others have had and Apple will address or is it something about my hard drive?
It only happens to one drive, the other internal drive is fine, and all external drives and drobos have been perfect. Could it be that the drive in question is only 5400 rpm?

If Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders are on your internal drive, make sure they are in the Movies folder. This is where they are installed by default when on the system drive it seems. If on an external or non-system drive put them at the top level of the drive.
Then (IMPORTANT), if you have them on more than one drives at the same time, Final Cut Pro X can get confused IF you have the same event names and project names in these two folders on both drives. It's probably best to put them only on one drive to troubleshoot your problems. Then, once that is resolved, you could have the Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders at the top level of two drives but with differning events and projects within them. It should have nothing to do with a drive being a 5400 rpm. The timeouts for reading drives for an application are much slower than the rotational speed of the drive. IMHO. Best wishes.

Howdy AndieKanaras,
It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Macbook Pro will not boot after full time machine restore

I have a 15-inch Macbook Pro, current model with the i7 processor, which I purchased in August 2010. Last week, when I tried to turn it on, it would not boot (just got to the gray screen with the Apple logo and spinning wheel). I took it in for repair and was told that it had a bad hard drive. The hard drive was replaced and I got the computer back yesterday.
Everything looked good, it turned on, so I did a complete restore from my Time Machine backup on my Time Capsule, following the instructions on this page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15638.html
The restore was successful and the computer prompted me to restart. I clicked the button to allow the restart and now I am back to the gray screen with the Apple logo and spinning wheel. It won't boot again.
I also looked at this discussion (http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10924233) and it sounds like the person here was able to get his computer to work after doing the Time Machine restore in the same process I used, so I don't know what else to do.
I don't live near an Apple store, so it would be great if I could figure this out myself. Thanks for any help!

Hello Hilda Louise
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.

Java 1.6.0_05 does not recognize first and last property in jnlp file

Hi
Has anybody else seen this?
The jnlp file contains five properties, but the JRE does not recognize the first nor the last property.
It has been working great since 1.4.2, through 1.5 and 1.6 until 1.6.0_05.

We also have this problem, but it's not first and last property.
We have 6 properties, and the 3. property is gone.
If I download the jnlp file, the property is there, if I choose show jnlp file in "javaws -viewer" it's not there. Only difference between this property and the working properties is length.
The length is char 255, and the data is base64 encoded.
I worked fine before upgrading to Java 6 update 5.
Anyone any ideas?

My iPad does not recognize my Apple ID. I have reset several times (as requested) it's stated that its successful, and then does not work..I cannot access anything!!!!

My iPad does not recognize my Apple ID. I have completed a reset several times (as requested).
The re-set is shown as successful but then doesn't work..I'm locked out of everything!!!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Trying to move iMovie '11 project and event to another drive

Hello,
I'm trying to move some iMovie '11 projects and their associated events to another hard drive, as my start up drive is full. I currently have projects and events on my startup drive and also on an secondary internal hard drive. That drive along with several others, shows up in my Event Library list. I have tried clicking on my project both with the Command key and without, to drag it to another hard drive that is listed in my Event Library. The hard drive does not "light up" and I don't get the option to "move project or move project and events." I've tried a reboot of the application and the computer. No luck. Is something wrong with my iMovie application? Or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!
Catherine

Here is a writeup on how to do this.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
One thing to notice is that there is an error in iMovie help. It says to drag the icon for the project to the icon for the external drive in the Event library. This is wrong. You drag the project icon to the icon for the external drive in the Project Library. For the Events, you drag the icon for the Event to the icon for the external drive in the Event Library.

My FCP X does not recognize my external drive and extra internal drive

I recently had to reinstall FCP X because I found a "?" in my dock when I wanted to work on a project. The app had also disappeared from the Applications file. I had taken a class at the technical college and last opened the program in the lab at school a week earlier. I had been woirking on the project which I had put on my external 3 gb drive. Now, after reinstalling FCP X, my extra internal hard drive and my external drive does not show as an option when I open the program. I cannot access my projects in the Project Browser. I had made four backups, or versions, so I continue to work on the video. Nothing show in the Project Browser. I would like to get to video which I had worked on for some time. The program had work well all semester - until now. Bummer!

It may be that the DVD drive is not getting enough electrical power. Try a powered hub, one that has a separate connection to an AC outlet.
Ciao.

My computer does not recognize ipod and ipod freezes computer

This is how it stated:
Today, I charged my ipod on another computer, like I always do, the itunes is to early (like 4.0) to even recognize my ipod, so on the computer it is only hard drive. So, I used the little green arrow icon in the right bottom corner of the screen, as in ejecting a jump drive.
My ipod is at the main menu. I decide to watch a television show until...all of a sudden, it freezes while it is playing. I press, play and pause again. Now the audio plays, but the screen is frozen. So I press the Menu+Center button and the ipod turns off and the Apple icon appears. Usually when i do this, the menu comes back on. But this time, the screen said somethinglike "You must connect your ipod to itunes and restore it..." in about 5 different languages.
I get home, plug it in to my computer, I try to pull up itunes, it does not come up until I disconnect my defected ipod. Everytime I plug my ipod in, the screen just shows the ipod charging in the gray, dark version--no green lighting battery, its all gray and black. And by the icon in the corner, the ipod does not have a low battery...
Can someone help me?

FCP X does not recognize my sony dsr-11.

Just upgraded to final cut pro x and having my first problem. Trying to edit and view video on an external video monitor and the a/v out will not recognize my deck. So when all else fails I go to FCP X help and find that it requires a third party video interface hardware/software. So has anyone encountered the same problem and what was your resolution. I am curious to know which third party video interface hardware/software you selected. Thanks in advance. Liza

Not sure what "DC timeline" is but what I am looking for is just the same playback I was able to get before I upgraded to FCP X. I will look into the Matrox MXO2 just the same.
I contacted Apple support and they gave me the following link:
The VIDEO I/O Section on this link will provide information about video output monitoring hardware. AJA, Atomos, Blackmagic Design and Matrox:

Iphone 3gs in safe mode and computer does not recognize it and shows as "new hardware"

My iphone 3gs is in recovery mode. And when i plug it in to my computer it shows up as " found new hardware". Now i reinstalled itunes many times. trying different versions of itunes as well. I have tried many things and my computer just wont recognize it. using a diffrent computer is not an option. What can i do to my computer to try and get this thing to connect??

When you say you have reinstalled iTunes many times, have you followed the directions Apple gives for uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all it's ancillary applications and processes?
Apple's documentation on the process can be found here:
Windows XP: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Windows Vista or 7: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Mac OS X: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
I hope this helps.
