Final Cut Pro X - software update issues

Hi,
I’m trying to update my Final Cut Pro X software on my Mac and I keep getting the following error message:
An error has occurred.
The operation couldn’t be completed
(NSURLErrorDomain error – 1102.)(102)
Does anyone know what this means? And, how can I resolve it?  I can’t export my projects out of Final Cut Pro either and keep receiving the error message (error -1); which I think is related to the software needing an update.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Alicia

that error code in human language means 'no read permission'
Are you logged-in with your Account, you purchased the installed version of FCPX with?
Are you using a purchased version or the trial version?

  • Final Cut Pro won't update

    My Final Cut Pro X software won't update from 10.0.3 to 10.0.4
    Has this occured to anyone else?
    How do i solve my problem?

    Did the update show as available to you for download when you went to App Store>FCP? Did it download but not install? Check Applications to make sure FCPX is not "hiding" in a folder.

  • My final cut pro will not update on my iMac, it will update on my Macbook.

    my final cut pro will not update on my iMac, it will update on my Macbook. I have OS X Yosemite on both systems, my macbook has final cut pro x version 10.1.4 and my iMac shows no updates available and is on version  10.1.1. I have tried looking in iTunes for the same update that is installed on my macbook under the same iTunes account, but it doesn't show any updates. I tried deleting from my iMac and it won't delete so I can reinstall it. any suggestions?

    You need to be logged into the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID in order to see your updates. You speak about iTunes: maybe you meant that just as an expression to refer to your Apple ID, but just in case you didn't: you do NOT use iTunes to download mac software. You use the App Store application, available under the Apple menu.

  • Question RE: Final Cut Pro X Software

    Hello,
         This is a general question regarding the software program Final Cut Pro X. I am thinking about purchasing the software. I own multiple mac computers all using the same Apple ID. If I purchase the Final Cut Pro X software once, am I allowed to install it on the other computers if I buy it on one of them?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    YYou can install it on as many computers as you own and control.

  • HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Sorry for being unclear.
    When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list).  I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account).  I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro.  When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying  "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
    I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite.  FCP was working fine until the upgrade.  Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

    I have the same issue... I had to re-install FCP 5.0.4 on my powerbook and now cannot upgrade to FCP 5.1.4-- even after putting in my serial number... I keep getting re-directed to BUY the Studio 2 version. Anyone know of a work around for this?
    I can't open any of my Final Cut 5.1.4 projects. And I keep getting an error message each time I try.

  • Final Cut Pro 5.1 update.

    Does anyone know why I am not able to update from 5.0.4 to 5.1.
    Everytime i download the update from 5.1.1 it always says
    This updater is only able to update an existing Final Cut Pro 5.1 application. Please make sure the application is located in the Applications folder, and is called "Final Cut Pro".
    It is in the app folder and its in final cut pro. I dont know what the **** is going on. Please help

    I just saw a user report at MacUser forums that the deadline may have been extended.
    I'm not suggesting that anyone put off doing it right now, but if you think you may miss the mailing deadline, a call to Apple Sales in you area might pay off.
    North America:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    Just off the phone with the Apple Software Upgrade office in South Bend Indiana and she tells me that due to overwhealming response to their Pro Applications Crossgrade and Upgrade offers to UB versions of Final Cut Studio, Shake, Logic and Logic Express, they have decided to extend the deadline all the way to March 19 2007.

  • Final Cut Pro X not updating

    Hey guys!
    So I have Final Cut Pro 10.0.5 and I just realized I am 3 update behind. It's not showing up in my app store that it needs to be updated, but I know it does.
    Is there anyway I can update it without going through the app store?
    Thanks!

    Tom-
    If I recall I bought and installation disk called Final Cut Express. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Final Cut Express updated into Final Cut Pro X.

  • Final Cut Pro dropped frame rate issue

    Hi there, i currently shot a short film on the canon 5d mark II 30fps and i am trying to edit it in final cut studio 2. I have recently bought the new macbook pro 15inch 2gb module.
    Now the canon footage is h.264 but when importing the clips into final cut pro 6 there is a lot of dropped frame rate issues but I thought this machine could handle HD footage?
    Can someone more advanced than myself recommend what i am doing wrong or a work flow that i can work with to stop dropped frame rates and render times.
    Last piece of information, the project will be entered in film festivals in the spring its only a 3 minute short and i have 5 folders of footage under 4gb each which was taken from the camera
    Thanks for your help.
    Michael

    You are missing a huge conceptual point. If the file can not spool off of the hard drive fast enough, you get dropped frames. It isn't a processor or ram issue right now, it is a hard drive speed issue. Your system drive is overtaxed trying to run OSX, applications AND spool video. It just can't keep up. Changing the graphic card isn't going to help (and how do you change the card in a laptop?)
    Get an external esata drive - with the new MacBookPro you'll need an esata Expresscard34 adapter for the computer to connect the drive. Firewire is not an option with that machine and USB2 will not cut it with high data rate formats like ProRes.
    When you drop in the ProRes clip to the timeline and it tells you there is a mismatch, this means your preset for the timeline is something other than your clip. You WANT ProRes and you need the sequence to match your clip - tell the program to CHANGE the sequence to match the clip.
    Video is not easy and it isn't inexpensive. Time to open up those manuals and your wallet!
    Good luck,

  • Final Cut Pro 3 serial number issue

    Hi there,
    I have a copy of Final Cut Pro 3 that has been sitting redundant for about two years. When I first got it (around 2002 i think) i registered it etc...
    I would like to reinstall it on my mac now but I have lost all the packaging, incl serial number, registration details etc...
    Is there somewhere at Apple I can contact to retrieve my serial number and registration details?
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer,
    Ewan.
    Imac Flat panel   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Final Cut Pro 3

    The only possibility that I'm aware of would be to contact Apple and provide reliable proof of purchase. Otherwise I'd say you're hosed.
    Your software serial numbers are much more important to keep up with than the discs themselves. It's a good idea to record them in a database, backed-up to an off-site server or stored in a safe deposit box.
    Since you still have the install discs, you might consider doing the crossgrade while Apple's offer is still in effect: http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade

  • Final Cut Pro Studio 5 Install issues....

    Hey Fellow iPeps., My name is Jonathan and I have a rathe complex issue infront of me. First, let me state that I am by no means a Mac sorta guy. I am in the transition stage where some things in that mac world just make no sense to me. Okay, I am trying to install Final Cut Pro 5 onto my new iMac 27inch unit and keep getting an error msg that reads, Your computer does not have the right hardware.... you know, I have tried installing it on my macbook pro as well... It should be noted that at some point it was installed on my G5. I did not install it so I dont actually know what the difference was. Someone help! Pretty Please

    Final Cut Pro 5 is NOT compatible with Intel processor Macs. You need version 5.1 or higher. The current version is FCP 7, which is only available as part of Final Cut Studio 2009 (aka FCS 3).
    If you own a legitimate retail version of FCP 5, you can upgrade to FCS 2009 for $299.00 (USD). http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB643Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTA4MjgwODU

  • Final Cut Pro 4.0 Academic issues

    I came across a copy of Final Cut Pro Academic Version 4.0 and installed it on my Max Quicksilver 933 and it installed and runs perfectly. So i replace the hard drive with a larger one but installed Leopard 10.5 instead and I also installed Final Cut Pro Academic Version 4.0. However when i try to open FCP it hangs when it gets the the stage where it is loading the " Audi Filters" the little wheel just spins and spins and spins and FCP never launches???? Any ideas why it opens in 10.4.3 and not Leopard 10.5??
    I read the installation requirements and my Mac meet them. Dont know what too do???????????

  • Final Cut Pro X File Management Issues

    I have several issues
    1. Does anyone know if it is possible to import from camera to the standard Mac file system?  I can't see a way to avoid importing media in the FCP library and I definitely DON"T want any of my media files in the FCP library.
    2. Also I know I can copy the media files out of FCP back into the file system but I am not sure how to delete the FCP copy and re-point everything to the media I have stored in a proper file structure on a specific media disk.
    3. It doesn't seem to be possible to have FCP default new libraries to a media drive - it only wants to create them on the boot drive and the library has to be moved manually.  Am I missing something?
    4. Backup is an issue now - it looks like a change to any component within a library will trigger a backup of the whole library - it certainly does with the backup software I am using, and who knows what Time Machine does with FCP libraries... (but Time Machine DOES appear to delete files without notice when it runs out of space, so it is not suitable for any environment where permanent data retention is an issue - so beware...)
    ps: don't EVER use the "move to library" function.  If it crashes you won't get a reason, you can't undo or recover, and the originals may be deleted even though the media never made it to the other library.  This is not good...

    Hi Tom:  It was "Move Event to Library" that crashed, deleting the media from the originating library but not copying it to the new library.
    I lot of my issues are down to lack of familiarity with the new interface after migrating from the old Final Cut; manuals which are incomplete or in error; courseware created in earlier versions of Pro X and which have not been updated, and what I regard as counter-intuituive defaults and assumptions by the Apple development team.  I spend a lot of time searching for answers:  For instance I spent at least an hour searching in the manual and on the net for a way to extract or move the media from an FCP library.  I came up with nothing.  It would never have occurred to me to search for the term "consolidate".
    Another thing that caused me an issue was that I copied a library from one drive to the other to create a backup before I started trying to regularise the media locations in the original library.  I changed the name of the backed up library in file manager.  When I open it, FCP still uses the old name - hence a library which is opened on one disk and appears to point to data on another.  In fact I hadn't noticed that there were two libraries of the same name open at the same time in FCP - the apparently duplicated library was in fact the backup library on the other disk which was renamed in file manager but not in FCP.
    In iTunes and Aperture, which both use this bundled library approach, you can only open one library at a time.  FCP is different - and I have no problem with this, but any user familiar with the other products would assume, as I did, that FCP worked the same way.  That it does not gives rise to the possibility of confusion.
    FCP is a very complex piece of software.  That means it is impossible to make it easy for a first timer to understand - an experienced Final Cut user has to unlearn as much as he or she has to learn - and all this places much greater reliance on the manuals.  The writers of the manuals need to try and put themselves in the heads of their users and make sure that their TOC, Index and terminology corresponds to the thinking of the user - not the new terms they have created for the new version (e.g.: "consolidate media" - which means extract media from the library and move it into the file system, but who would know?)
    In an environment where the file sizes are enormous; a library may contain several hundred clips and audio tracks organised in various events and projects; FCP can crash and "disappear" media; the manual is hard to search and the software behaves in an unexpected manner (library names in FCP do not necessarily correspond to the actual name of the library on disk and multiple copies of a library can all be open at the same time, with the same name) this all creates a great deal of stress.  One mistake and a great deal of work can be lost irretrievably.
    However, with your advice, I have consolidated the media files from my largest library and confirmed that the library holds only the metadata now.  However, the new file organisation is unusable, so I will now need to change the file names and reorganise them into subfolders that make sense to me - I guess I will find out if this breaks FCP's links.  At the same time I have to figure out which files in the original file structure correspond to the newly extracted files so that I only have a single set.
    My big mistake was to copy the files into the library in the first place.  This is the default, and also recommended on the Lynda courseware (which was created on an earlier version of FCP).  Since most of my existing files were imported in the old version of FCP prior to the upgrade (so already on disk), this meant creating duplicates of all files initially. However, all the newer files are only in the libraries and not in the file system - reconciling this now is tricky.   Since I retrieve SD cards on my notebook in the field and then copy to my Mac Pro, some of the new files have ended up in the file system and not in the library.  I am yet to find out whether FCP will automatically pick up new files added directly to the file system, or whether they have to be "imported" through FCP before FCP can see them.
    The overhead of all this duplication is enormous and the inconsistencies tricky, and it is only now that I understand better how FCP Pro X works (and that it can lose stuff) that I now realise I have to undo all of this and move the media back into file manager and out of the libraries.
    If you have to transition to a new, and radically different, version in the middle of a project you really need to understand all the implications.  I did not.  And now that I do, it is difficult, stressful and time consuming to sort out.
    If I were able to go back and give myself some advice it would be to ignore the defaults, create logical and sensible file structures for all your media, keep all media out of the libraries and use the file structure to force FCP to organise your clips in a logical manner so that you don't then have to go through and laboriously assign keywords to organise them in FCP.
    I don't know if the way I work is very different to other film-makers.  This is a doco - typically around 5% of what is shot will make it into the final program, and I double that because I use three cameras a lot of the time.  That's about 40 hours of HD plus WAV audio files.  Some of the clips are an hour in length and impossible to synch between the cameras until they are chopped up and new combined clips created - this is very laborious!  An hour of HDD is about 400GB (more if I shoot raw) - so there will be about 2TB of data associated with this doco by the time I finish shooting.  In an interview I record a separate audio track - and I generally use this as the master track since it is the only clip which can be guaranteed to run for the full duration.  But FCP Pro X assumes that the master track will be a video file and it is not possible to add an audio file to the timeline first.  I found a workaround - but, again, I am fighting FCP and the developer's preconceived ideas about how people might use this software.
    Apart from the doco itself various other projects use the same media - but I don't want these projects cluttering up the doco library which is already cluttered enough.  If the media is in the library I have to copy clips to other libraries for these other projects, leading to more duplication.  Its another reason to move the media out of the library and another indication that FCP was not really designed for large projects.
    Even just within a single library, file management is unsuited to the volume of files I use.  For reasons known only to themselves, the FCP developers have used a very specific view of the file organisation - and its not the view I use in file manager (which is the column view).  That makes using the file management in FCP very cumbersome - but its essential if you have a large number of clips.  My smallest library takes 30 minutes to copy from one Thunderbolt2 disk to another, so creating a backup before changing things in a library is not a trivial event.
    Also, the keyword process is clumsy and, I think, poorly conceived but it is the only way to organise clips if you haven't created a file structure prior to import.  I haven't yet figured out how to erase the keywords I used for one event so that I can reassign the keywords for use in another event.  But I assume that means that if I go back to the first event, I will have to put all the keywords back in - or ignore the shortcut keys and type them manually (which is necessary for much of the time anyway because there are only 9 - a good indication of the size of the projects for which this software was designed).  Also, oddly, there is no shortcut key that I can find for turning on/off the keyword window - which is annoying because it takes up a lot of screen real estate).  It is issues like this that leave the impression that FCP has been conceived as a kind of iMovie + and that it just isn't architected for real-world proper film making.  It can be bent to that, and it has some nice features, but I find myself fighting it a lot of the time.
    After all of this I can't find a reason why Apple would create library "files" anyway.  What advantage does this provide over the standard file system?  What are the implications for backups?  (If you are backing up incrementally only the components within a library then how can you be sure any version of the actual library file is current?  And if not, then is any minor change to any file in the library going to trigger a full backup of everything - (in this case 1TB+)?  And how does this differ between various backup options?  Again, assuming FCP users are mostly making home movies, with small file sizes and using Time Machine then a library concept might make sense.  But that is iMovie thinking.  And that Apple have implemented a "move to library" function without any transactional integrity (no deletions should be made until the successful copy is confirmed) further underpins the non-professional positioning of this product.
    I hope it improves with age...
    But thanks again for your help - it was timely and very much appreciated.
