Final Cut Fails to Launch - No Error Message

I have tried the following:
-Trashed Prefs.
-Loaded and used FCP Rescue
-Completely wiped the machine of Final Cut Studio and reloaded
Still, the following happens: Once I trash the prefs or run rescue, FCP loads fine. I can work on saved projects, etc. However, when I close the program and try to reopen it, the same thing happens again; it will go through the initial startup screen, and as soon as it gets to the point where the workflow area would come up, it closes. No error message or anything - just sops working.
I've updated the machine completely, and all software is to date. The only thing that's happened recently - incase this gives anyone an idea of what's wrong - is that I used Boot Camp to remove the XP partition I had on the machine. In addition, I've tried to change the main user data to another editor, as I recently upgraded my machine to a Quad 3 Mac Pro... Would changing user settings effect FCP? Even though I've since completely wiped it and started over?
G5 Intel IMac 2.0Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Final Cut Studio 5.1

Create a new user account and see if FCP opens for the new user. If it does then there's something going on with your user prefs.
Make sure you don't have this license running on more than one machine at the same time.
There may also be a corrupt file, is this problem associated with a particular project being loaded or file being used?

  • 7.1.1 iTunes Fails to Launch (No Error Message, Pretty Weird)

    After downloading iTunes 7.1.1, I installed iTunes. The installation went well and everything was installed. I had no problem with installation.
    However, after installing, I tried opening iTunes. However it fails to launch and I don't receive an error message.
    When I open the Windows Task Manager and check out the processes, the iTunes.exe appears for 10 seconds and then disappears.
    The weird thing is, is that iTunes version 4.0 works perfectly. (I think it's 4.0. It's the one that has the green note. The current versions have the blue note.)
    I can open it up and play my music.
    I have a Dell Dimension 8200 (It's about 6 years old.) The operation system is Windows XP.
    Can someone explain and tell me how to fix this problem, so I can open iTunes 7.1.1.
    Thanks.

    doublechecking one more thing that can help narrow in on possible culprits with these sorts of symptoms.
    try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

  • Photoshop CS4 stopped launching, no error message. Mac os 10.5.8 on PPC

    Hi all,
    I´m using Photoshop CS4 on this computer (Powerbook G4 PPC with OS 10.5.8, 10 GB HD free, 1.5 Gb Ram) without problems since 3 years ago.
    2 days ago it stopped suddently working. It just doesn´t launch, without error message. On that days I was using an external USB hard disk that crashed...
    Bridge runs ok but when I try to run Camera Raw, I get the message  "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature".
    I already re-installed photoshop, uninstalled it and reinstalled, I tried also "App cleaner" and also I tried deleting all folders related to photoshop CS4 and reinstalling. I also repared disk permissions. I tried to use the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool but unfortunatly it doesn´t run on this machine.
    Next step would be to format the machine, but I don´t want to do it unless it´s strictly necessary..
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Alas, Photoshop 7.x is not supported in Leopard (nor in Snow Leopard)—as far as I know.
    What's worse, Photoshop 7.x is out of the upgrade path.  

  • Itunes will not launch, no error message (windows xp, itunes 10.7.0.21)

    Itunes will not launch, no error message (windows xp, itunes 10.7.0.21)
    Yeah

    OK, so i cannot enter into iTunes safe mode, whilst monitoring proccesses in the task manager I noticed that itunes will only stay open if i keep my fingers on shift and control-i dont know if that is worth mentioning- the proccess promptly ends after the release of the said keys, (I tried both the shift control keys on either side of the keyboard-same result) so i am stuck there.
    P.S.
    This version of iTunes had previously worked before, I uninstalled everything apple related after noticing how many processes (-id est-) /applications, were using up my memory.
    afterwards I had need for iTunes, (i needed to wipe my iDevice) I reinstalled and this problem has arisen.

  • HT5654 iTunes auto update downloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried uninstalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

    iTunes auto-update dowloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried unistalling and downloading/installing again to no avail.  Any clues?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Hi Henado 
    Check the time on your Exchange server(s) relative to the DCs and ensure they are in correct sync
    Use another account which is assigned the Organization Management permission and log to to the server run the command in shell and see the results
    Run 
    Add-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
    Set-Adserversettings -ViewEntireForest $True and then run message tracking command and see the results
    If none of the above helps you may need to remove and re-install the WinRM and see the results
    Good Luck :)

  • Final cut studio not launching

    I am running my final cut studio 5.1.2 on a macbook pro
    2.16ghz intel core duo. 2 gb of ram.
    My problem is that all of a sudden final cut does not launch. I simply
    click on either the project I am working on or from the appocation folder
    and does not even open up. I trashed my preference, repaired disk permission and even reinstalled. Nothing happens. I wonder if I need to do a complete
    re-install, meaning wiping everthing out including dvd studio,motion,etc
    and then re-install. Any suggestions. I was currently working on a HD project
    when this happened.

  • Final Cut fails to open, network users?

    I am having the same issue as this discussion ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/12447873#12447873 ). I have done everything that was stated in this discussion. I have a lab with 20 21.5" iMac (Late 2009) all running 10.6.4 and FCP 7.0.2.
    As stated in the previous discussion, this is occuring with multiple users on multiple iMacs. The users log in with their network credentials to authenticate against a windows server 2008 DC however the user account data is stored locally on the iMac HD. The iMacs are also joined to a xServer running 10.6.8 server and the iMacs are part of WOrkgroup Manager. When a user encounters he issue, I need to go into the users homefolder (on the iMac) user>Library>Preferance>Final Cut User Data>Final Cut Preferences and I delete that file. That user can then launch FCP and it will work correctly until they quit FCP. The next time that use opens FCP it goes through the launch scree and then quits. ( No error logs, just dissappears). If I have that user log out and then log in as a different user it will work fine (Again this user has their home folder saved to the local iMac HD but is using their AD crediatials to log in.)
    Any thoughts or ideas how to resolve this issue? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

  • Final Cut Quits after launch unexpectantly

    I havent used final cut express since I did the last apple update. I open final cut express and I get an error message that unable to see firewire device and then i have an option to check again or continue to say devices connected are none. Nothing is connected except a midi keyboard thru USB and an external. After I hit continue final cut quits. What is wrong?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Welcome to the forum.
    There is a pref setting to disable that warning dialog.
    Check in user preferences under general tab. Put a checkmark at "Do not show A/V device warning on launch".
    If the problem persist, try to trash the preference files:

  • Final cut will not launch after fcs2 install (successful)

    I have just installed FCS2 and unpon launching the software. It gives an option to relaunch but that doesn't work. I've tried searching in the threads and haven't gotten anywhere.
    I just updated to Leopard doing about a month ago doing a clean install, not an erase and install.
    This is error message I am getting

    Any help?
    Thanks

    Ok, here's what happened I needed the Pro Applications Update 2007-2, when I did a software update search it never gave that as an option. I had to discover it by looking through the error details and going in to the FCS2 section of Apples site and download it from there. I didn't even know that it would be the right update but it appears to be, Final Cut just loaded for the first time.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Compressor fails on M2V file-Error message says FCP/user quit

    Hello,
    I am trying to do something that I have done hundreds of times, compress a movie file to import into DVDSP. For some reason it will compress the audio fine, but at a totally random time it will unexpectedly quit compressing the video file and give the error message "Final Cut Pro generated an error or unexpectedly quitUser aborted Media Server". It will do this at a different spot every time telling me it is not the video content but more so the program.
    I have tried on several different sequences all over 60 minutes in length (varies from 68 minutes to 130 minutes). I am using the "Fastest Encode" preset, length depending on the length of the sequence I am attempting to compress.
    I can export out of FCP using "quicktime conversion" to MP4 and the same sequence will export just fine? Also I can use Compressor on a much shorter sequence, like an 8 minute clip copied out of the same sequence that fails, and Compressor does it just fine as well? Peculiar.
    The only thing I have done recently is add 4 GIG of RAM, not Apple RAM but since I added it everything has worked just fine but much, much faster.
    I have used Compressor in the past and while I don't get too deep into the program it has never given me any issues.
    Any advice would be very appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
