Final Cut doesn't playback when copy any files over network

First, i want say a thanks for all guys who help us here. Thank you very much. Much appreciate.
Now, problem...
My Final Cut works perfect sice a starded used 2005, never i have a one problem.
But last week i discover this:
When a copy any files between macs over a network the final cut doesn`t play in the sequence. nothing happening. but if i stop copy in the finder, it ok, everything back normal again.
I try using a project over a network and its perfect, fine.
only if i copy anything in the finder and final cut doesnt play.
Guys, anyone have this problem? Its normal?
I dont know, i try many this before i post here and nothing works.
Ps.: I have two imac i7 and this two have same problem.

I hope i understand you right.
when you copy a file from one network to another sometimes the file paths are lost. Like if you have a drive called FCP HDD on one cpu and FCP HDD3 on another. The original path is associated to the copied files on FCP HDD drive and not the FCP HDD3 drive so a path would be lost there.
If you are connected via gigabyte ethernet cable and the imacs are synced then there would only be a latency problem as the gigabyte ethernet is slower than sata and FW 400 or 800.
If you are just coping the source media (meaning the files you captured from the cam) then all of your paths will be new based on the place you copied them too.
so if i have a project like 'My Commercial' and that is the name of the project file then it is it own project. The media within that project is associated to which ever drive you put it on.
If i move the project to another computer then the media is not there.
Why? Because the project is looking for the name of the original drive which may not exist on the imac you moved the project too. Unless you have a server.
Also, Even if you do move the media files to the drive that IS connected to the new computer the drive is most likely to have a different path for the media.
What you want is to connect the 2 cpus in a way that allows drive sharing.
Do you get the red 'Media Offline" error in the timeline?

Final Cut 10.1 crash when copy/move events

Final Cut 10.1 crash or hangs up with spinning beachball when copy/move several events between libraries at once. The problem happens more often than not when managaging media in different libraries on same and/or different disks.
Move or copy one event at a time works, but not several events at the same time.
The problem occurs on an 21.5 iMac (mod 2010) i3, 12 Gb RAM, 500 Gb HDD with external WD FW800 disk, an 27" iMac i7 (mod 2010), 12 Gb RAM, 1Tb HDD with external LaCie FW800 disks as well as with a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2012) i5, 16 Gb RAM, 480 Gb SSD with 1Tb External thunderbolt disk.
Just checked one of the external drives that had problems with move/copy with Disc Manager and there were no errors.

I tried the same thing with smaller (200 Gbyte) library and this problem didn't occur.
My guess is that something fishy was going on with the large (>1 Tbyte) default libraries during upgrade to 10.1 and therefore not found during test of move/copy functionality.
My own two machines are now upgraded to 10.1.1, but I have not dared to see if this work with an on-going project ;-)

I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min) the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.

Crashing When Saving Photoshop File Over Network

Photoshop & InDesign CS3 crashes whenever I try to save a file over the network to a another shared Mac Pro computer. Another Mac Pro on the network can save to the shared computer without a problem.
SPECIFICS
- Three Macs and a 3 PC's on Ethernet network
-Problem started after upgrading to Leopard
- I have tried reinstalling the entire Creative Suite without Version Cue
- Tried deleting the com.adobe.mediabrowser.p.ist and Photoshop.plist preferences.
- If I create a new file on my computer and then immediately save it, it usually does not crash on the first save. But after I do a few things to the file and then try to save again, it hangs up giving me the spinning pinwheel with the message in the Force Quit dialog window that Photoshop is not responding.
+- I am unable to force quiet Photoshop; I have to do a hard reboot.+
Adobe tech support believes it is a network problem, any ideas what might be causing the problem?
Are there any know issues with Leopard and CS 3 with certain network configurations?

I have experienced issues with saving photoshop files over a network since upgrading to 10.5.3
This is a major issue, and one that apple seems quite about.

Bridge Doesn't Like Index Color .gif Files Over Networks?

It's been a nightmare trying to navigate network folders with Bridge CS3 (Mac 10.5.3, 2x2.8GHz, 4GB ram) It's not uncommon to have to restart Bridge numerous times daily (tried all the fixes mentioned on these threads, and updated to the latest version of Bridge)
I finally noticed it stops and gives me the spinning wheel every time it encounters a .gif file, so I removed those files from the folder, converted them to RGB and re-saved them as .jpg from Photoshop and bingo! Bridge cached the folder quickly and without incident.
Is this issue documented anywhere? Is there any way to tell Bridge to just ignore .gif files?

Just an update,
I installed Apple's latest patch and Bridge is much more stable, but will still lock up anytime it encounters a network folder with .gif or .png files.
But at least now I know how to avoid this issue. Maybe future versions of Bridge will allow users to select certain file types to ignore when caching.

Final Cut pro X crashes when opened

I was creating a photo montage at the end of a video when the application frooze and then crashed. My problem now is that every time I open FCPX its fairly slow to open and as soon as I click on something it crashes and I get the beachball.
I tried to locate the project file in finder but can't find it.
I can't even start the project again as everytime I go on to final cut pro x it crashes.
Any help?

t could be a variety of things that was causing it to crash –for example, the library itself, the event, a clip.
With FCP open, see whether it will let you open the problem library Open Library>Other. If it does use the Move command to move the event from the old library to the new one. Then see whether it will let you work on it.
Good luck.

Upgraded to FCS 2 and Final Cut Pro 6 crashes when I try to open it...

So yeah I had Final Cut Pro 5... I upgraded to Final Cut Pro 6 and when it is loading effects in start up it crashes every time. I have restarted the computer ect... but it didn't help.
Any idea what I can do?

The best way was to do an install on a clean disk (in other words install OS on blank partition and then install Studio 2 without installing earlier versions) A bunch of threads on install and the rest.

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conv

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conversion!
This started completely out of the blue last night. The export gets about 30-50% done and FCE disappears from the screen and the "FCE quit unexpectedly" message pops up. This has never happened before and I was doing exports of this very project all week. All other projects won't expect, the current project won't export when brought into a new file, I tried reinstalling FCE, and I deleted the pref files spoken about in the forum.
Any Ideas!!!????

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...
I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.
I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

After install, did you go to Apple menu > Software Update to update your FCE to the latest version?

I created the XML file in Adobe Priemer Pro. Final Cut doesn't see this file. The file in the list not the active. Prompt please.

I created the XML file in Adobe Priemer Pro. Final Cut doesn't see this file. The file in the list not the active. Prompt please.

The XML format Premiere uses is not supported in FCPX. The only way I know of that may work is to go through FCP7 and then use 7toX to get to FCPX.

Copying hangs when copying large files from DVD

I'm having trouble copying large files (>2GB) from DVDs to my built-in hard drive. When I drag the file icon from the DVD window to the desktop, the progress bar pops up almost immediately, and says "0 KB of 2.3 GB copied" and "Estimated time left: 1 minute" -- and then it just sits there, doing nothing. In some cases, after five minutes or so of inactivity, the copy finally begins... but most of the time it never does. Force-Quit doesn't help; the only way out is to do an emergency restart and try again.
This problem began when I upgraded to Tiger, and several members of my office group have been experiencing the same problem on their own computers as well.
I've poked around the forum looking for answers but the only thing I could find that looked related was a conflict between iSight and some third-party external hard drives... but none of us have iSight, and none of us are using third-party external drives, so clearly that's not the issue we'rehaving.
Any help out there?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Michael, I occasionally notice anomolous behaviour when files get dragged between volumes. Mostly the copying window shows an accurate and immediate indication of what's going on, but other times it just looks like nothing's happening, the display never changes, yet, it is in fact copying the files over. Now, if you're copying 2gb files from DVD to HD, it's gonna take some time, more than 5 minutes, so I'm wondering how long you've left it before forcing it to quit?

OS X 10.4.7 server: Samba leaking ram when copying large files from windows

Hi.
I'm having problems with:
Copying files from windows clients to OS X Server 10.4.7 uses up the RAM needed for the files to be copied.
If I copy a 3GB file, it uses 3GB of RAM
If I copy a 5GB file, it uses its 4GB of RAM, plus VM.
If I copy 11GB of files (that is several little files, plus some big by dropping a folder to the share), it consumes all the RAM the machine has, and because of VM paging, whatever other clients are reading from the disk (XRaid) start to have hiccups.
The RAM of the machine NEVER gets flushed after the copying has finished. So Samba is unusable as it is. I have four Xserves with 4GB of RAM, with 4 XRaids connected each one to each Xserve with its Apple Fiber Channel card and cables.
I already did the ack=0 thing, got the size of inet.tcp.sendspace and rcvspace to 8388608 and the buffer to 16777216.
The transfers rates are up to 70MB/s with 2 channel 1gb trunking, and at very sustained rates..
We are using these to edit video content (DV 25) in Sony Vegas with 2 or 3 clients for each server.
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much.

How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

There are several ways
     - Selecting the event and hitting the "delete" key on your keyboard (as Wayne Contello said)
     - Selecting the event and opening the "edit" dropdown menubar item, and then selecting "delete"
     - Selecting the event and right clicking, then selecting "cut" (this option puts the event on your clipboard)

Can not copy any file or empty the trash

Hello,
I'm using a Macbook (white) with OSX 10.6.4 and am having an extremely annoying problem which has three symptoms:
1. I *can not empty the trash* (safely or not) at all.
2. I *can not copy any file*, anywhere.
3. I *can not move anything to the "Applications"* folder.
I try restarting the computer, repairing the permissions, running the latest version of Onyx and so on, but nothing works. I always get the following error message (when copying a file or emptying the trash)
"The operation can't be completed because you don't have the permission to access some of the items".
And this even though I repaired the permissions three times today.
To be honest, this makes my Mac pretty useless, and is very frustrating.
Can anybody help? I've browsed a lot of other threads about this, tried everything, but to no avail.
Come on, this is my first Mac, don't tell me I have to reinstall the OS from zero, Windows-style.

Those are the normal permissions but if you are logged in as admin, hit the unlock button and enter your password they should no longer be greyed out.
You can try chmoding them from root through the terminal if you are up for it. I'd also try booting up in SafeMode and seeing if that allows access.
