Final cut starts to open then closes

Greetings people. I have FCP 5.04 and it was working fine last night. When I went to use it today it acts like it will start up and then closes. Anyone have any sugestions? I tried a reinstall.. I am sure it is an easy thing and I am just not seeing it.. Sugestions please.
Thanks

You might have a corrupted preference file. Try downloading and running FCP Rescue. It will delete your FCP prefs. The next time you try to launch FCP after trashing the prefs, FCP will create new ones using the system defaults.
FCP Rescue can be found here: http://www.pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue/
Be sure to download the correct version for your installation of FCP.
Once expanded, select the TRASH button.
Good luck.

When I try to open iTunes app on iPhone 5, it starts to open then closes straight away, I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 and it has been like this since I upgraded!

I also had this problem. Go to settings> itunes & app store, tap on your apple ID and sign out. Then open itunes store. It should now open.
Then sign back in again and the problem should be resolved

Window starts to open then closes; right click on icon shows open windows but cannot open to use

opening firefox the window flashes and closes to right of screen. clicking on icon does nothing. right clicking shows 1 or more windows, but they will not open.

I have this exact same problem - I use WIN 7 and FF 3.6.13 - no one believes what I am seeing (except you :>) ) - hopefully someone will be able to respond with a solution
I have uninstalled FF and re-installed same problem
The FF WIN 7 taskbar preview shows the correct display and when I click it I get a flash and it appears to go off right side of screen

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one to no avail.

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one. I found Final Cut now loads but each of the backups and files in the previous 3 versions won't load. I've worked on the project for 3 weeks. Im suprised the backup files won't load either!?! I've only rendered 1 low res version. I am thinking I will have to rebuild the project in Final Cut 7. That is simply too risky to have all my back ups not load up!!

I'm a little confused by this?
Final cut now opens if launch older projects. But if I actually click on the project it crashes. Im not sure what you mean by events? I've moved them from the events folder.
but when I open up and of the projects the FInal Cut opens but then wont load the project even with no events in the FInal Cut Events folder.

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and are still haveing the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Final Cut to NOT open on older project every time

Is there a way to have Final Cut Pro NOT open on the last project all the time. Sometimes I just want it to open fresh without taking 5 minutes (exaggeration) to open the last project I worked on. Thanks so much!

I should have seen that. Thanks. Although what I really want is an option like when you open Aperture or iTunes with the option key held down you can select what library to open instead of the default. Usually I want it to open the last project but sometimes I don't and it is a pain to have to wait for it to open all the timelines and then close them all down again. I know..... I want I want I want. Thanks!

Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

Final Cut will not open up? Help

Hi all,
I have many projects on in final cut pro. I went to open it up this morning and final cut will not open. I see it trying to load and then it does not open. Can anyone please give me any ideas on what the problem might be.
Thanks,
Wildmangoose

Well, you first need to determine whether it's Final Cut that won't open, or just one project. To determine that, you can either trash the preferences or create a new user Account and log into it, then try opening Final Cut from the new Account.
If it opens, then you know FCP is OK. If you've done that with a new Account, then log in to your original Account, and take the media volume offline. I'm assuming you have all your media on a separate volume from your boot volume.
With the media volume offline, try to open that project in Final Cut. If it opens, then you have a corrupted media file, either a captured file or a rendered file.
You then then to find the corrupted file by the process of elimination. More on that later. For now, try the first step and report back.

My photoshop opens, then closes itself since enrolling in creative cloud. I reinstalled - same

My photoshop opens, then closes itself since enrolling in creative cloud. I reinstalled - same. I use photoshop every day - HELP>

So - I could get no reply on forums so I attempted to speak, on a web chat, to technical support. I waited an hour as the nine people in front of me in the queue were dealt with. Then I outlined my problem, set out above: signed out of CC as soon as I logged in. Tried all the fixes suggested all over the forums and one which was posted on the site by the CC team. No joy. Can't use apps now because when I try to use Photoshop CC (which needs to be authorised at the start of my subscription) it now requires a sign in and offers me only the trial version. "Ah," said my support assistant - you'll need to contact Technical Support. "All the options I was offered online were technical problems," I replied. "This is customer services;" he said, "I'll post you the link". The link sent me back to the page where I started and led me to him. What a shambles. So I have just received an email informing me that Adobe had successfully collected my monthly payment. And I have a service which I can't use. Brilliant.

Why won't my final cut studio 2 open on my iMac

Why won't my final cut studio 2 open on my iMac after I have installed all the disc?

Nope.
Just download Preference Manager (Free) from Digital Rebellion at:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
It will allow you to archive your current settings before you trash them, in case you want to return to them for some reason.
Then trash your preferences and restart Final Cut.
It will see there are no existing preference and will create a fresh set.
Hopefully this will allow you to compete the launch.

I was importing media, and closed out of the media before stoping the media import. This is how the file saved on the hard drive.
I need to get this file into a format that FCP can open. Is there a way to export a .FinalCutCopy file into a .mov file???
Any insights would be VERY HELPFUL!

I was able to figure it out. I renamed the file type to a .mov format and quicktime was able to open it. Then I saved that file format on the desktop, and imported in after I opened FCP. The file then imported and I was able to access the whole video clip I had! Thanks for your help!

Microsoft word opens then closes

Microsoft Word X for Mac (service release 1) opens then closes when I try to open a document.

I think I've recently encountered the very same problem. My guess is that the new Word update doesn't quite jibe with the Intels. You might try this link until MS releases another update: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060810105134613
I cut and pasted the command into Terminal and it seemed to fix the problem. Although a poster on the site claimed that subsequent restarts saw the crashing problem return. Which I guess means that we'll have to keep entering this Terminal command until MS resolves the bug.

Purchased movie opens then closes

I have a 16GB wifi-only iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3). I downloaded a purchased movie last night and watched about an hour of it. When I tried to start watching the rest this morning on the subway, the movie will open then close immediately. I've closed all the apps, restarted the iPad, and tested it again once I got to work and connected to the office wifi. No luck. What is going on? It seems similar to an issue I had with Pages, but that turned out to be the fact my docs were on iCloud and I wasn't online at the time.

If I have a problem with a purchased movie, I delete it and download it again. Most movies can be down,paced again for free if you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.
You can read about it here and see how you can be sure that the movies qualifies for a free download.
