Final cut and compressor don't work! Please help!!

Hi, I am having serious problems with my mac and it is not the first ime this has happened when I work to a deadline. Surely this is not some cruel twist of fate, rather mismanagement on my part? But how, why?
I am running FCP 5.1.4 and Compressor 2. FCP will not load at all at the moment and I have tried using Onyx to clean up the system, FCP Rescue to delete preferences. I have freed up additional space on my start up drive, which was admittedly low before I did so. I have accidentally erased some scratch files, but have managed to get so far on start up as to reset them. I really do not know what to do here and am desperate to get to work. I can not get beyond the serial registration window, and Activity Monitor comes up FCP not responding, every time after about 30 seconds.
As for Compressor, well it seems to quit whenever it feels like it, and the batch monitor function crashes immediately up launch.
I am really deperate here for input, and have experienced these sorts of problems in the past when running decompressing to HD quality in FCP, simultaneously running Compressor and or DVD Studio Pro.
My machine should be powerful enough though with 4 x dual 2.5 processors and gigs of ram, or so I thought...
Thoughts very welcome. Thanks in advance!

also try running the FCS apps installer (no additional content), sometimes this fixes the problem, it doesn't take too long and is similar to a refresh of the apps, especially if you are having problems starting apps, or serializing them and you have a valid serial! After you install, don't start the apps, run disk utility, repair permissions, reboot and then start up FCP and serialize.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

After update iOS 8 some of the apps don't work please help me

After update iOS 8 some of the apps don't work please help me As fast as you can

There can be some of that. Unfortunately, it's up to the app developers to make their app work with the iOS.
So checking for updates can help. You can also look at the reviews for the app, see if others have the same issue. If 8 has broken the app, all you can do is wait.
In some cases, a reset can help. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again. (this can work if the app is fine with iOS8 but is just glitching...it's a harmless reboot of the system)
Another thing to try is to force quit the app(s) and force them to reboot. Double tap the home button. Flick the preview for the app up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button to exit the mode. Try your app again. If it's just a glitch then this sometimes clears it up.
I know once I updated my devices I then had several updates pushed out - updates that required iOS8 so weren't available before the update.

Hello there, Conorjl7.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Speakers don't work, please help me...Ipad 2 new

The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.
Under what circumstances? Have you tried a reset? I always worry when people talk about "speakers" - if you are referring to the bottom of the phone, there is only the one.

Sometimes and this is network dependant if they suspect the phone to be lost or stolen as in this case with change of Sim card and provider then the origonal network can and some will block the phone untill you have rang them and proven it's not the case or if you have bough this 2nd hand then the origonal seller may have stopped paying the contract bill and thus the phone is blocked

I have the new 5s and my fingerprints don't work - please help.

Hi - I have entered different fingers for my fingerprint and they don't work - what is up with this - thank you for your help
I thought this phone was suppose to make your life easier. thanks

Peggy206
1. Try to delete and then re-add the fingerprint. Things to consider is make sure your finger is dry from any liquid or moisture. Also try to clean off the touch id sensor with a soft cloth and rescan your fingerprint.
2. Try to reset your settings and then go to settings-general-touch id and passcode and re-add your finger print. When you add the fingerprint make sure that you don't move it around too much until the first part of scanning your fingerprint is done. Then in the second part of the scan is where you wanna move the finger around.
Hope this help! I have my iPhone 5S and it does help when the fingerprint sensor is working.

HELP HELP with Final Cut and Compressor

Hello
Hope there is somebody out there which can help figuring that problem out without telling me reinstall because I did that and it did not work. Here is the problem. I want to export my timeline to compressor and compress to DVD90 quality but nothing really happens. I am getting an annoying screen asking if I allow Batch Monitor share (deny or allow) regardless what I do it always comes up. But compressor does not do anything . Final cut does create a separate Tab with a long number but that disappears. Anyway I have discovered when I am sending it to compressor at work and I am connected to the Network there, I am still getting the annoying questions but compressor starts compressing. (that was also before the 6.0.3 update) I had 6.0.2, but here at home I do not have a network. I created a different Network place for home but that did not help.
Has anybody an Idea how to fix, Apple seems to ignore it, I never had the problem with that in FCP5

thanks for the answers
i actually did that and it did work and was actually faster then using compressor the way i did.
I still got the deny and allow screen but it started to compress it, I had to restart first though the first time the same thing happened nothing at all but after the restart it started to compress.

My final cut keep on shutting off..please help!

Hi,
Everytime I open my final cut it asks for a registration and then it shuts off.
I own the program, but, I can't get back into it.
Please help.
Thank you!
Renee

Renee,
Trash your FCP Preferences, repair disk permissions (using DiskUtility in your utilities folder and reboot the mac.
FCP will probably ask for your codes again, make sure you put it exact with all the dashes in the right place.
This happened to me a few monthes ago, did you recently reinstall the OS? Perhaps after a your logic board or graphics card was repaired?

Hyperlinks don't work, please help!! :(

Hi all,
I've created a new website and I would just like to know why my hyperlinks don't work? The facebook link used to, but ever since I posted the text under the menu icons in the middle of the site and then publish it won't activate any of them! This is really frustrating so I'm really hoping someone has an easy solution to this...
My URL is www.nurburgringnow.co.uk
Thanks,
Will

It looks to me as though you have made your navigation menu using images places without a shape?
If so, what he is saying is that this shape has got into your footer and is covering everything else and the whole page, which is why your links will not work. If your links are covered by anything, then they won't work.
In iWeb select show all so you can see where things are on your site. Shorten your footer area and I would suggest that you remove the shape and then place it in the body of your site. To get your links to work you need to ensure that you send the shape to the back.
