Final Cut not starting up on new computer

I recently had my computer stolen. I had installed final cut hd on that computer which was stolen. I replaced the computer and installed Final Cut Express HD on the new one.
Now, when I try to open final cut express, it starts to open, and then it stops and does not open.
Can anyone advise me on what to do?
I'm on an iMac OX 10.4.10
Memory 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Processor 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo 2

Hi, Is that an upgrade, you are trying to install and not the original program?
Sorry to hear about you having your laptop stolen. Would not like that one bit.All Dave

Final Cut Not Starting

I click it to open and it brings up the splash screen and the just goes away. I have tried restarting, checked for updates, and bought the program and have the actual disks and serial. Anyway to fix this without re-installing?

and if neither of those work

re-installing may help, but it's rarely necessary.

I just bought Final Cut Studio right before this new version...

I just bought Final Cut Studio right before this new version came out. Am I eligible for a free upgrade to the new software?

I'm sorry, but these replies have been ludicrous. To actually answer your question, I would think they would honour their usual 14-day return policy, but you would need to speak with Apple directly.
As to the whole "which is better" debacle, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro 7 is the more polished and fleshed out piece of editing software, and what everyone is most familiar with to boot. But let's be honest, what do you expect for software that is ten years old versus three days. The fact of the matter is that pretty much everyone editing with Apple's software in the not so distant future is going to be editing on Final Cut Pro X, hands down. It's fundamentally that much better. You nay-sayers out there, if you don't switch to Adobe or Avid, you will go to FCP X! There is a reason for that, and there will be an even stronger reason for that with every update. People don't seem to understand that.
In your situation, if you don't own either, it makes a whole lot more sense to me for you to just roll with the hiccups FCP X brings if you can at all handle it. If not, you are going to spend $999 now on FCS 3 and another $400 in the near future when you decide to take the leap. Is there something worth $1000 to you in FCS 3 that FCP X doesn't offer? If so, then great, go ahead. It's an amazing piece of software. If not, enjoy the head start on what editing is going to look like for the next ten years.
All the best talking with Apple. The way that they are pushing FCP X I would hope you don't run into any trouble.

I CAN'T INSTALL FINAL CUT PRO 3 ON MY NEW INTEL IMAC, HELP!!!

I'm trying to install FINAL CUT PRO 3 onto my new iMac but can't. It reads the disk but then says, "Original disk needed for install." I have the original disk, I own a registered copy of the program, so I'm stuck.

Hi -
I believe Final Cut 5 is designed to run on a Power PC CPU machine, the current MacBooks use Intel chips - so the software will not install on your Intel based MacBook.
You can, however, upgrade from a full version of Final Cut 5 to Final Cut Studio 3 which contains the latest version of FCP, version 7 as well as Compressor, Color, Soundtrack Pro and Motion for $299 which is a steal as the full version for Final Cut Studio 3 is $999.
You only need the serial number of the full version (non-academic or non-upgrade version) to do the FCS 3 upgrade - you don't need to have FCP 5 loaded on your machine to make the upgrade work.
Hope this helps.

Will final cut pro X 10.0.8 still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

will final cut pro X 10.0.8 still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

10.0.8 is no longer available, except in the trial version. The current sale version is 10.0.9. Apple has never sold older versions of their software, only the current version. That's not going to change in the near future.

Final Cut Studio 1 on a new imac

Hey everyone,
I would appreciate any help I can get on this topic. I am about to purchase a new iMac and I currently have Final Cut Studio 1. I understand that the software was designed with the g4/g5 processor in mind. The new iMacs use intel core processors if I'm not mistaken and I'm wondering if I'll be able to install Final Cut Studio 1 onto my new mac or if I'll have to purchase FCS2?

Are you sure? I thought FCS 1 was a Universal Binary designed for G4 and 5's together with Intel.
There are two versions of FCS 1 - 1.0 and 1.1. Only 1.1 (FCP 5.1.x) is the Universal Binary. As the OP said he knew it was designed for PPC, we assumed that he was talking about the 1.0 version (FCP 5.0.x).

JTextArea - Text is not starting on a new line

Hi,
I would like the text when set in the JTextArea to start a new line however the new line code is not working please can anyone suggest a reason why this may be.
private final static String newline = "\n";
chatTxtArea.setColumns(20);
        chatTxtArea.setEditable(false);
        chatTxtArea.setLineWrap(true);
        chatTxtArea.setRows(5);
        jScrollPane1.setViewportView(chatTxtArea);
public void responseText(String username, String txt)
        chatTxtArea.setText(username.toUpperCase()+" Says: "+txt+newline);
        chatTxtArea.setCaretPosition(chatTxtArea.getDocument().getLength());
    }Many Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
At the moment the 'txt' and 'username' go into the
responseText method and is displayed in the
chatchatTxtArea correctly however when a new message
is sent it does not start on a new line instead it
just replaces the previous line of text.
So i believe the rest of the code is working. I
believe the problem occurs either where i have set up
the JTextArea or i am using the new line
incorrectly.
ThanksBecause you are calling setText(String). Use the append(String) method of JTextArea instead.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

My ipod is not recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I deautorized all, and the reauthorized new computer. It won't sync.

My ipod is now recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I installed itunes on the new computer, and have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I also purchased several new songs from the itunes stores. Now my ipod will not sync with the new computer. I deauthorized all computers, then reauthorozed the new one. My ipod still won't sync.

...after running diagnostics through itunes, itunes says "device not found" Seems there are a lot of others having this problem,and it seems to be related to new version of itunes. Apple should do something to fix this.

Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

I actually found under EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

How do I transfer/place my existing Final Cut Pro X on my new iMac?

I have been using Final Cut Pro X on a Mac Book Pro. I just upgraded to an iMac 27". How do I transfer/add my existing download of Final Cut Pro X to my new iMac?

CCopy it from one machine to the other. You can use a jump drive, the app isn't that big. You will have to download the additional content on the other machine.

"Layer 1 does not start with a new cell" replicator error

Hi All,
I recently sent a dual layer +R DVD off to our replication house and their system is returning a message that says: "Layer 1 of DVD-Video does not start with a new cell".
I know from reading that the dual-layer breakpoint must be set to the end of a cell, but what does the word "cell" translate into for DVDSP4?
I had the DVD DL+R set to Automatic and Non-Seamless for output for the break point. Should I just try setting the break point manually at the beginning or ending of a track that would be dubbed as just a little more than half the size of the content? (I know in OTP, the Layer 0 has to be bigger than Layer 1)
Please Help!
Cheers,
Dusty

Thanks both of you for your replies.
Eric, I am currently exporting DDPs to send in to the replicator. I also emailed them asking if they accept this format for delivery. (Which I would hope they would, as it is, an answer to DLT of sorts) Thanks for bringing this up, DDP is new to me, as this is our first DL project for replication.
Drew, to answer your reply, yes I have two viable markers (chapter markers) that show up in black, not grayed out, in the tab you mentioned under formatting. I chose manual break point selection for this last disc I burned and chose chapter 4 of that track. (chapter 4 and chapter 5 of track 6 are only options) I have to assume that the "automatic" setting was selecting chapter 5, as it had to see that as the last viable marker available to select, as described in the DVDSP4 manual.
DVDSP4 says that all markers are considered cells- Or actually that tracks are cells and that the markers within them make up more cells. So my question, outside of DDP option, would be, "what truly constitutes a cell boundary in DVDSP4?" Is it the markers within the tracks or the beginning or ends of the tracks themselves?
As a side note, I burned the disc that received the error, "Layer 1 doesn't start with a new cell" from an IMG i created from DVDSP4 through Disk Utility. Word is that IMG's somehow don't include breakpoint information.
So at this point I don't know if it is the IMG or the fact that DVDSP4 wants the break at one of two possible chapter markers in track 6.
(Some more background- this is a TV show season DVD, with thirteen tracks of video, each with 12-14 chapter markers a piece.)
Any more thoughts to help clear the air on what constitutes a true new cell boundary?
Thanks sooo much Eric and Drew, I know this a long read.
Cheers,
Dusty
