FCP X problems after Yosemite 10.10.2/iTunes 12.1 update

FCPX 10.1.4 on Yosemite 10.10.2 w/ iTunes 12.1 installed on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
After installing the Yosemite 10.10.2 update and the iTunes 12.1 update, FCP has been brought to a halt on new projects. When importing a ProRes 422 clip (NTSC SD, 29.97, )  into a clean/empty library results in what appears to be a hang while generating audio waveforms for the clip.  I am not able to skim the clip in the viewer.  If I create an empty project, and then write the clip to the empty timeline, FCP also appears to hang on audio waveform generation (although Activity Monitor does NOT reflect an unresponsive app, and there is not spinning beach ball, etc.).
I can open an existing library, where waveforms and thumbs have already been generated, and successfully skim/scrub clips and project timelines.

Hi Luis,
ok i have just completely wiped it off my system with all traces trashed..
i will go ahead now and install FCPX version 10.1.4 as i see it on the app store and shall report back once re-installed with results..
thank you for your suggestions..
btw attached is a screen shot of some info incase..

  • Printing Problems after Yosemite upgrade

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my Kodak printer only prints a blank page with an error message that a firewall could be blocking.  Kodak is allowed on my firewall and I even disabled the firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled, and still the same problem.  Please help, thank you

    may help, but Kodak needs to update their drivers.

  • FCP 6 problems after installing Leopard

    Final Cut Studio 2 has worked fantastic for me on Tiger. Export to Compressor, Open with Soundtrack, and DVD authoring was awesome in DVD Studio Pro. Then I installed Leopard and started running into some problems. I really like Leopard in all that it offers, but I'm running into glitches and wondering if anyone else has either.
    1. Exporting to Compressor launches then stops.
    2. Launching DVD Studio Pro starts, then stops.
    3. Launching Soundtrack starts, then stops.
    All the tool bars are up, but it none of them will finish launching. Never had these problems before and I downloaded and installed all the updates and the problems persist.
    Has anyone else had these problems or found the solutions?
    Thanks.

    Did you make a clean complete install (system and applications)? Everything must run fine if you install all from zero.
    No matter that I personally would stay with Tiger in the G5: rock solid.
    Hope that helps !

  • PS CS6 having printer problems after Yosemite upgrade.

    I've seen a lot of people having problems with this, and zero answers from Adobe. I'm running Photoshop on a 2012 iMac. I don't know what exactly triggers the problem, but it occurs when I'm changing the print settings for a document. All of a sudden I get this message:
    There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
    And nothing, nothing will enable me to print from Photoshop ever again, except re-installing the whole program. This is a pain, of course, and I lose all my settings.
    There seems to be an incompatibility between PS and older macs running Yosemite. I have not had the problem with my 2014 MacBook Pro--it prints fine from PS with the same printer. (A CanonMG5320, FWIW, but it seems to be happening to people across a range of printers.) I spent a lot of time in a fruitless text chat with someone at Adobe who disappeared after a bit and left me hanging.
    Whose responsibility is this? Adobe's or Apple's?
    I just wish someone would fix it.

    Probably either Apple's or Canon's. There have been a lot of issues with he new Yosemite. First off, are you running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.3)? Have you tried Re-installing the printer's drivers?

  • Secure Connection Problems after Yosemite update

    Hi all
    I'm using a MacBook Air 2012 and since upgrading to Yosemite, I have had a lot of issues using an Ethernet connection. I was using the same Ethernet connection for Mavericks and there were no problems whatsoever.
    None of my apps which use the internet can connect. Examples include Skype not signing in, my Mail app not connecting and being unable to connect to the App Store.
    When using Safari and Google Chrome I cannot access secure websites (https), however on Firefox I can access the majority of secure websites. Non-secure websites (http) are not a problem on any browser. Error messages on Safari say "Safari can't open the page (web address) because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server." On Google Chrome the error message reads, "The connection to (web address) was interrupted."
    I have tried and failed with numerous different suggestions including:
    Ensuring correct time and date
    DNS Flush
    Changing Network Location in Preferences
    Setting Network Location to Automatic in Preferences
    Turning Firewalls/Anti-Virus Software off
    Typing the following commands into the terminal:
              sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
              sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

  • Ricoh printer problems after Yosemite upgrade

    My Mac is on a small business server that also included a Ricoh MP C5501 printer.  It worked fine before the Yosemite upgrade but after that upgrade plus use of the Ricoh Yosemite driver I can't get anything to print.  Someone says that it is a Postscript problem but I don't know to fix that.  Is there a proven process to address this issue?

    Hi there DirectorCHA,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for printer issues found in the article below.

  • Dvd problem after yosemite

    2010 MBP - played a commercial DVD before update to yosemite - now it refuses to play.  Some other DVD's play fine.  Disk is pristine - not dirt or scratches.  It looks like a stamped DVD.  Were there some new restrictions added to the drives in Yosemite?
    mgg

    Ok, this is weird.  I went to my MacPro running maverics - DVD played fine.  I make a direct copy to DVD-r.  It played fine too.  Took both disks to my iMac running maverics - both played there.  Went back to MBP, neither would play.  I opened system prefs, went to language and region - all looked fine.  Closed it, tried original disk - AND IT PLAYED FINE!  I tried the DVD-R - and it refused to play.  Tried the original and it played fine........
    So either this is all and odd coincidence or there is some issue still with some disks in Yosemite.    I want to upgrade all my machines to Yosemite but not if I'm going to end up loosing access to some of my content of DVDs.

  • Typing problems after Yosemite

    This is my first time here, so I'm going through a learning process (and I suspect I may be on the wrong page so apologies in advance).  Since upgrading to Yosemite on my one year old Mac mini, typing with either a wireless or a USB keyboard has become a major frustration.  An apostrophe inserted in a word causes the remaining letters to behave erratically and the "e" as in "I've" ends up at the end of the sentence.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any solutions?

    Does it happen in Safe mode?

  • Macbook 2008 4,1 serious problems after 10.6.8 and 1.4 firmware update

    I'm having a problem with my 2008 2.4Ghz Macbook. After doing a fresh install of 10.6.0 with a Retail DVD, the MB was working perfectly, absolutely no problems at all. I then ran Software Update and installed all the recommended updates to 10.6.8, and I only noticed in passing that there was a Firmware update to do too, as reported by Software Update. I ran that as well and, IIRC, it was applied after fully updating to 10.6.8 and after rebooting twice. The MB rebooted, ran the Firmware update (which seemed to complete fine, as the progress bar completed normally against the grey screen), then rebooted. Again, IIRC, after running the Firmware update, and I'm now at 10.6.8, I started a Repair Permissions and left the MB for a while. It was the next day, maybe 15 hours later, when I went back to the MB and it was in Sleep. I pressed a key to wake it and this is when the weirdness started.
    The screen was "fuzzy", sort of out of focus, though I could see the desktop, and what I could see was: the Disk Utility window open on Repair Permissions (which had completed normally) and several Vertical Segmented Bars running across the bottom part of the screen, at about the height where the Firmware Update progress bar was. These bars were filling in from left to right. IIRC, it may have looked a little like when you wake from Deep Sleep (or Hibernate, or whatever it was called). Like when you Wake from Sleep after the battery has run out and then you plug the AC adapter in.
    Anyway, before the Vertical Segmented Bars progress was completed, the screen went black. Pressing keys didn't bring the desktop back.
    I did a forced shutdown, reset the SMC, then rebooted. No startup chime. The Superdrive, hard drive and fans spun up, but the screen remained black. After a few reboots, I got a desktop back, and tried to reinstall from both an external HD (with Restored disk image) and the Retail Snow Leo DVD. Both times, the MB booted to the startup screen: with the external HD, I held down Option and chose the Snow Leo install; with the DVD, the MB started normally while I held down the C key. The boot started from the HD and the DVD, but after about 60 seconds, with Apple logo and the spinning "cog wheel", the screen went black. And seemed to shut down. With the external FW hard drive, the drive made a loud click, its LED went off, then it came back on after a few seconds, as if it had lost all power to it, then the LED lit up when power returned to it from the shut down MB. Anyway, the installs failed.
    I then attached the 2.4 MB to another MB (2.1) in Target Disk Mode and it booted fine into TDM. It showed up on the 2.1's desktop, I ran Check Disk and it checked out okay. I then looked under Startup Disk and the 2.4's disk was listed there, with 10.6.8.
    I then booted the 2.1 from the 2.4's disk and it booted fine. I ran check Permissions, and a huge list of permissions to repair came out. At this point, I've left things as they are. The 2.1 is booted from the 2.4, the latter used as external boot HD.
    I then replaced hard drive and RAM. Tried to boot from DVD and install, got to Apple logo and spinning cog wheel, but after about 2 minutes the screen went black.
    I then connected an external monitor and rebooted from the DVD. The external display received a video signal and I got to the Snow Leopard install screen. All this time the Macbook display has remained BLACK.
    I went to Disk Utility and reformatted the new drive, then started the installation, which completed fine. The Macbook runs normally connected to the external display.
    Any thoughts?
    Why would the Macbook display work fine at boot (Apple logo, etc.), but then cut out after about 2-3 minutes?
    Why would the Macbook screen remain black while I got a video signal on an external monitor?
    Does this sound heat-related in some way? I should note that while booting from the DVD and now installing Snow Leopard, the fans are going pretty fast.
    I just want to point out that this was an absolutely pristine, impeccable Macbook until these recent problems. It is in fantastic condition, none of the usual chips out of the top case and trackpad area. After the latest fresh install of 10.6.0 it was perfect upon reboot. Fast, perfect Airport and Bluetooth, FW and USB worked perfectly with a FW drive and USB mouse I hooked up. The update to 10.6.8 via Software Update seemed to complete fine.
    Then all the problems started AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPDATE.
    I don't know how much stock can be put in the firmware update being the cause of the problems, but the sequence here would bear that out. These are also somewhat unusual problems, at least in my experience.
    One of the odd things was when I first went to wake the Macbook after the firmware update: the "fuzzy", out-of-focus screen and the segmented progress bars. And it was just before the segmented bars completed progress from left to right that the display cut out and went black. And from that time on, I've had the aforementioned problems.
    Any ideas or links to similar problems would be greatly appreciated, e.g. possibly firmware related, or where the Macbook screen works but goes black after a couple minutes. And now that I've been able to connect to an external monitor, it would seem that the video signal is okay too.
    Thanks.

    Just to update.
    After leaving the Macbook unplugged and without battery for a few days. I reset the SMC and, with no battery installed, I've just now rebooted and:
    1) the first time, it booted, but no chime, and when the display turned on, once again I got the "out of focus" desktop AND the segmented vertical bars on the desktop (and the bars were filling in from right to left); the display went black after about 10-15 seconds;
    2) I shut down and swapped some different RAM, then reset the SMC again and booted without battery. This time I got the boot chime and the Macbook booted to the Apple logo screen and spinning cogwheel. After about 2 minutes, the cogwheel stopped spinning, as if to boot to the desktop, but then the display went black. The front light started to pulse after about 10 seconds, and the Macbook appeared to be in Sleep.
    3) I woke the Macbook from sleep by hitting a few keys and this time it went to the desktop. This is the first time it's gone to the desktop since the problem started.
    I had enough time to see that everything appeared normally on the desktop, such as the time and date, Airport was connected, etc. And then the display went black again, after about 10 seconds.
    At this point, I can now always get to the desktop, but the display goes black after about 10 seconds. I have just enough time to press a few keys and the Macbook does respond.
    4) I shut down and reinserted the battery. Here's where new problems show up.
    With the battery inserted, and the Macbook in sleep, if I hit a key, the DVD spins up as the Macbook is waking, BUT now the front sleep indicator light FLASHES (blinks) 5 TIMES. No beeps.
    The Macbook still gets to the desktop, like before, and the screen goes black after 10 seconds.
    I found some info on the Apple site re. 5 flashes (Article 21502):
    If you don’t hear beeps, but the sleep indicator light flashes five times when you start it up or wake it from sleep, its battery may need service. Take the battery to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, such as an Apple Retail Store.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article below.
    You can continue using your computer before you service the battery. Use a different battery, or connect the computer’s power adapter and plug it into a power source.
    Note:If you use your computer without a battery or with a faulty battery, you could lose all unsaved changes if it’s unplugged while it’s on.
    BUT, the battery is not defective, as it works okay in another Macbook.
    I should also point out that the problem with the 5 indicator light flashes or with the battery did not exist before the 10.6.8 and the Firmware 1.4 updates.
    Any ideas?

  • Problems after upgrading to 10.5 iTunes

    I've just downloaded update for iTunes and confirmed to restart my laptop to complete installation.  Now I'm getting this message when I click on the shortcut to open iTunes:
    The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved
    Any ideas? would really like to get onto iTunes today!

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • Why can't I sync my phone with my computer after both the ios7 and Itunes 11.1 updates?

    I just recently purchased the new iPhone 5s and have been very happy with it.  At the same time I updated my itunes to the newest version 11.1.0.126.
    Since the initial syncing, I have been unable to complete the syncing process.  It progresses all the way through stalls out on step 5 "Downloading Safe Safari Browising Data".  Is there anything i can do to fix this issue?

    Which is precisely why I am frustrated with how proprietary Apple is.  No matter how much people try to spout out about the superiority of Apple products, my iPhone should be able to grab music from my laptop and my PC at home, both being authorized already.  I've already tried home sharing.  I didn't buy the iPhone outright, it was provided to me through work.  For all the Apple and Mac only fans, I feel this is Apple's way of trying to make me purchase music I have already bought on CD through iTunes.  Whatever happened to ease of use?  Customer friendly applications?  Anyone else dislike how hard it is to add artwork to an album in iTunes after you load a CD and it doesn't recognize it?  Track by track?  How about offering one simple, convenient copy and paste to album like in Windows?  Oh, yeah, so you give up and buy it again in iTunes.  I do like the interface on the iPhone or iPod once things are working properly, however the hoops you jump through are ridiculous.  I want to load music off of my laptop, after having most of my library on another PC, and it won't work without deleting the library off of the phone.  What is the point of authorizing up to 5 computers if you can't use your music from those different machines?  There, I'm getting off of my soap box now.

  • Wifi problems on Macbook after Yosemite upgrade

    I am having very serious problems with wifi connectivity of my Macbook Pro Retina after upgrading for OS X 10.10 by the end of October .
    Of course this has a great impact on system usability since almost exclusively use wifi to connect to the network.
    I must say I never expected that in Apple world a problem of this magnitude take so long to solve!
    After trying various proposed solutions without result, two weeks ago in a user forum I found a simple turn around that effectively minimizes the problem on my Macbook.
    Deactivating Bluetooth Wifi connectivity becomes less unstable and can work continuously with the networked PC. There continues to be an abnormally high rate of errors affecting eg Time Machine but the wifi connection does not drop.
    It's a little ridiculous I can not use my Magic Mouse but it is less problematic that not to have Network!
    But someone can direct me to a date that provides for the effective resolution of this problem by Apple? Or at least that the problem has been recognized and is being done something to fix it?
    My system is yet under warrant. Should I activate the warranty and ask for the replacement of the Macbook? From what I've read not all users have this problem with Yosemite.
    Can someone please explain to me the reasons why I have the problem and others with theoretically equal machines do not have it (it that is the case)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Fernando Ribeiro

    I installed last OS X update, 10.10.3, and the problem is completely solved.
    The problem, Wifi+Bluetooth, is clearly addressed on the update notes.
    Now I am working with Magic Mouse, Bluetooth, while navigating on the Internet via Wifi.
    Thanks
