FCPX Auto-Save: Error Sound When Hitting Command "S"

Final Cut Pro X should have an option to turn off auto-save. I HATE it! My question, is there any way to turn off the error sound when you hit command S? It is training me not to save and causing major problems for me when I use other software.

There is no meaning for "Save" in FCP X, since it is a database-driven application.
However, if you tend to hit Cmd-S pretty often, you may avoid the error sound by associating the keyboard combination Cmd-S to some innocuous command.

  • Auto save error msg

    Something very strange has been going on recently with FCP 6. If FCP is open and I repair disk permissions I have had an error message come up saying Auto Save error can not auto save your project. Then on both occassions clips have gone certain clips have gone offline in the Timeline. Most of the footage we use is on one internal drive and all graphics etc is on another internal drive. None of these are the system disk. Is this something to do with disk utility repairing the structure of the disk and breaking the connection of the clips and FCP? What could be the Auto Save issue?

    Nick's dead on about doing any sort of drive maintainence while fcp is running.  That said (after quitting fcp), you might run diskutility:  disk repair and Diskwarrior (if you've got it) on all your drives.  You may have some sort of drive corruption or immienent drive failure. 
    Diskwarrior is a utility that will analyze and repair drive folder structures that the diskutility sometimes can't.  Worth every penny.

  • Error sound when trying to click on Spotlight; does not load

    Hi guys. I recently used CleanMyMac to erase some files that it told me were unnecessary, and stopped it when I found out that it could be doing more harm than good. Since then, my Spotlight has not been able to work and I fear I may have deleted something important. When I try clicking on the Spotlight icon in my toolbar, it produces the error sound, but the other items in the toolbar are selectable. Not sure what I can do here as no one else seems to be facing this problem!
    This is the first time I've encountered such a problem. Please help!!

    First, to clean your Mac, get rid of "CleanMyMac." Then do as follows.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • Does FCPX auto save projects like iMovie does?

    One thing I don't love about iMovie. Is the way everything is auto saved. You can't choose to save or cancel your changes like other apps. Please tell me FCPX doesn't do this, or if it does, there is a way to disable that.

    I hated it at first, but now I love it. As Floridajo says, you can duplicate a project if you really want to but as long as you have a reliable backup system, you don't need to do this. FCP X's Autosave is generally very reliable indeed. There were some issues with autosave not working in the original version of the app, but in 10.02 (current one) it works very well.

  • Alert sound when using Command Cut, Copy

    Hi there
    I have what seems to be a strange but recurring problem on a particular website where I have to edit a lot of text and keywords around. I'm using an Apple Macbook running on 10.7.4, but also regularly use an iMac on 10.5.11, and on both computers whenever I use Command + Cut, Copy or Paste I have to endure my alert sound over and over again.
    I know I could simply mute my volume but it's very frustrating and I'd simply like to know why it's happening.
    I have posted in the forum of the website I'm using and no other Mac users have this problem.
    If it's a Command key problem why is it specific to the website I'm using? The alert sound doesn't happen repeatedly when I'm Command + Cutting, Copying or Pasting in any other application.
    It doesn't seem to be a problem with this website because no other users are reporting this.
    I came across a similar forum discussion here but after running Repair Disk Permissions the problem isn't solved.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Error message when hit the import button in LR3- ?

    I am still using LR3 and am completely happy with it however a few days ago it developed an issue. I have tried several different memory cards and a couple different methods of reading them with the same results;
    LR brings up all the photos on the card normally, just like it always has, I check the ones I want to import, hit the button and an error screen comes up listing all the photos I had check and says- import not complete because it cant read the card.
    Im not very knowledgeable about all this and am wondering if there is something obvious to you that I should check first. My presets have been the same since I set it up… am not sure what could have changed - ?
    Using LR3 on a Mac w/OS X

    well that makes sense but have no idea where that setting would be. I set it all up upon initial install to import to a certain folder and a second copy to extrernal hard drive, change file name, etc - but none of that has changed, ever.
    Would regular updating to the mac have changed the permissions on the folders - ?

  • When I turn on my MacBook pro, I get the 'macintosh he's symbol. Then, at my login, certain keys (I,e,u) get an error sound, and I can't log in. Anyone know what's up?

    Oh, I'm on my phone because if the problem, so I put the whole question in the title. But, the  problem is that my computer acts like I've got the alt key down   I start up, and gives me an error sound when I hit certain keys (e i, u, and a few othes) so I can't log in. Help?

    You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
    You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
    Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
    Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
    If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

  • FURIOUS! Warning: Undo Bug and Auto-Save Bug

    So I'm pretty ticked off right now. I generally liked FCPX and its changes contrary to many others' opinions, but I just came across a bug that ultimately was worse than I thought.
    During my editing process, at some point I was unable to undo changes. It was greyed out in the toolbar, and Command+Z wasn't working. It was annoying, but I didn't think much of it or bother to restart FCPX because I was in the zone and didn't want to stop. Eventually, I decided to restart FCPX to see if I could fix the bug with a lull in my edits. It closed out as normal.
    When I re-opened FCPX, I found out that my project was at an EARLIER state. From what I can guess, when the undo bug happened. So, during that period of time, NOTHING was being saved. Since you CANNOT auto-save (I know you can duplicate a project, but Im not interested in that, I just want to save a copy manually), there is no way I can recover my edits. I lost about an hour or so worth of edits. Since FCPX doesn't support "versions" yet either, there is no way I can retrieve it.
    I do  not know if this is a bug due to 10.7, nor do I really care. I sent a bug report because this needs to get fixed. I consider you do the same but AT THE VERY LEAST, be mindful of this bug. If you suddenly can't start undoing, either STOP IMMEDIATELY or duplicate your project (maybe that would work). I'd hate to have someone else go through this problem too.
    Sorry if this message is written poorly, like I said, I'm pretty ****** that this key function (Apple's ONLY way to save) failed.

    Thanks guys for the tips. Unfortunately though stuck, I don't know if the finder trick will work. Remember, I never really had the file LOST, the changes were simply not writing to the actual .fcp file. So if I copied it in Finder, I think it would just copy the .fcp file which is currently not getting saved to anyway. Maybe duplicating the project in FCPX would work, but again I think that just takes the .fcp file and duplicates it. If it's not writing to it, then its a moot point. Oh well.
    As with anything that frustrates anyone, I've cooled off haha, and doing the re-edits actually seemed to turn out easier and better then second time (you know, as theu naturally are I suppose haha). Obviously all sorts of problems happen with technology, its just a shame that its a bug that revolves around the ONLY save feature haha.
    HOWEVER. I think I have replicated the problem, and MIGHT know the source of it. Or at least one. If someone wants to try this and confirm this? I'm running OSX 10.7 and FCPX 10.0 (obviously), however I encourage someone with 10.6 to try it too.
    I noticed the "undo bug" (and thus the auto-save bug) happens when I took one of the "fader handles" (I don't know the actual name, but its the little marker-like icon found at the start and end of audio tracks, which when dragged, let you easily make a fade in or out. If you take a fader-handle, an drag it ALL the way BEYOND the length of the clip, it should get stuck. Youll notice you cant easily make a change to it again, and you can't undo it. I think this is what causes the problem, as I think this happened twice to me.
    If this is it, I hope I can find a way to flag this for Apple so it can get fixed! At the very least we can be concious of it.

  • Versions and Auto-save

    I am a very new user to macbook. I purchased this for academic study and the "versions" and "auto save" functions sound just what I want. But I have no clue about how to "turn this on" and see the old saved versions of my documents. Any advice or help would be great

    Plenty of discussions about this - see under "More like this" on the right.
    Basically it's always on (you can't turn it off) *BUT* you have to have applications that specifically support this (i.e. TextEdit, Pages & Numbers).
    MS Office 2011 doesn;t yet support it (MS says it will later), 2008 probably never will

  • I cannot print from Websites or my college online course. Tries to save files to desktop as an .xps document but nothing happens and I get an error message that print command did not work. Have reinstalled firefox and adobe, no help. Any suggestions?

    Cannot print anything from internet using Firefox as browser. Please advise. I have to use Firefox for internet college courses, cannot print my assignments. I do not have this problem on Mac or using Internet Explorer. Only happens when using Firefox. When I select print a message comes up to save information to desktop as .xps file. Select save, sometimes it is on the desktop but I cannot open the file or it simply does not save file and get an error message that print command failed. What is happening?

    {Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.
