Final Cut will not launch and desperate for a solution

My Mac locked up when I tried to reboot and I had to press the on/off button to reboot it.
When it rebooted, it would not mount the two G-Raid drives. When I took out the Firewire lead from the Sony tape deck, the G-Raid drives appeared on the desktop. If I plug the firwire lead back in, I cannot open the raid drives, but if I remove it, I can open them and see the contents.
If I leave the firwire lead out, when I launch FCP it says it cannot find the firewire device. If I click continue, FCP just doesn't launch. If I plug the firewire lead in for the tape deck, then it still does not see it.
I have tried doing the same thing with a different lead, and using the camera directly, but that gives me the same problem. It looks like a firewire connection problem, but I've tried two different firewire ports on the computer. It's a holiday weekend in the UK and I've got to get the job finished for Tuesday! Desperate to resolve this issue.

Have you tried the basic maintenance procedures?
repairring permissions
deleting preferences
running disc utility applications; techtool or disc warrior
''My Mac locked up when I tried to reboot''
why did you do a reboot in the first place - were you installing software?
if so - try deleting the application to see if it has interfered with the system
I have G Raids, they are on a separate firewire bus from my VT deck:
G Raids are connected to a Firewire 800 card and the VT deck connected to the system Firewire port
Many users report poor performance or drives unable to mount when connecting the VT and drives to the same bus

  • 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
    Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
    Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x000000008fe0105c

    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.

  • Final cut will not shut down stays in the dock and I have to reboot

    Final Cut will not shut down ..... stays in the dock and I have to physically reboot

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by stuck in Dock.
    You reboot your Mac. Is FCP trying to open automatically (the icon bouncing)? Or is it just visible in the Dock?

  • 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.

  • Rendering - Final Cut will not render clips under any of the 3 choices?

    Final Cut will not render clips mov, or dv under any of the 3 choices, including stuff I have done before.

    I realize your problem is solved, but I thought I would post this is case it might helps others in the future.
    Under Sequence-->Render--> OR Sequence-->Render All--> OR Sequence-->Render Only--> make sure you have check marks next to all the different video types ("Needs Render", "Proxy", etc).
    If there is no check mark, then the video won't render - and this can sometimes seem random, like what happened in your case.

  • 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.

    See if any of these help:

  • Safari will not launch and I need it for my job ASAP

    Macbook pro OS X 10.8.2:
    If I select safari a window opens and the address bar says "search google or enter an address" with the blue progress bar stretching to the word "or" in the address bar before it stops with no further progress. But the entire page is white. I have tried typing in www.google.com and the blue progress bar reaches to ".com" but never goes any further and the page is still all white.
    I did some troubleshooting online and I saw that it was recommended to go to the Go menu select Go to Folder and type ~/Library/Safari/Extensions I did that and the file is not found. So I just typed in ~/Library/Safari and looked for the file but it isn't there. So now I'm stuck.
    Please help.
    Also I have all my other computers/iPads/iPhones connected to the network and are able to get online. The MacBook Pro is connected to the network.

    Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Select the Lookup tab and enter
    www.google.com
    in the address field. Press return. Post the output – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Select the Ping tab and do the same.

  • Final cut will not ingest files from drhd100

    Has anyone had a chance to ingest media using the Focus Enhancements drhd100. If so I could really use their help on getting my system to ingest it. I'm not convinced that Apple has the setup properly I know that you can ingest with p2's and sony hddrive but I don't think they've tested focus jvc's

    So here is an update per my conversations with both Apple and Focus- the manufacture of the JVC proHD DRHD100 Portable HDD.
    "IT'S JUST NOT AVAILABLE!"
    At this point neither apple nor Focus have the ability to communicate efficiently between one another.
    By efficient I mean, whether it be apple or focus who takes the lead, I don't care, but someone needs to this is a huge problem. I suspect that the burden should lie with Apple seeing how the media ends in final cut, but that is just my opinion.
    Enough ranting and raving, back to the point.
    Apple doesn't have the necessary metaData file structure setup to import or ingest the HDV codec created to read the span clips generated from this medium as a single capture. (Firestore or proHD DRHD100, etc.) The newly released update to the ProHD driver will allow 60p but then it has no way to collace the spanned clip back together. That Functionality in FCP is there only for the Panasonic P2 cards, for now. Same issue in my opinion as Sony not, being able to import/ingest from the Sony HDD Cams and its .m2t files.
    Regarding transport stream in .M2T I've spent alot of time on this and it's a dead end. There is no codec currently that will transfer .m2t with proper timecode to .mov. I'm hoping a programmer out there will take up the challenge.
    About the only way to work with the .m2t would be to use a software like GrassValley's Canopus editing or Sony Vegas. But that's a waist of my time and Money. To use those software only as converters. Urgghhhhssh@#$$
    So I'll end by saying good luck and if I'm lucky and persistent maybe I can guilt trip Apple into building the first universal log and transfer window for an NLE. That's what needs to happen, a window similar to what Log and Capture provides for the tape medium, FCP or someone needs to build that for the HDD MEDIUM and optical Medium. Who knows maybe they already have that for the sony optical, but those cameras are out of my price range anyway, so I couldn't care less if those can be read into an NLE system.
    Thanks

  • Final cut will not recognize my sony GV-HD700 deck

    I have changed my settings, i have reconnected my cables I have turned off my machine for an hour reconnected the deck and final cut still doesn't recognize it when it turns on or when I go to log and capture. what am I not doing or doing wrong!? please help!

    In Final Cut Pro's "Help" menu bar item, you will find a pdf document entitled "HD & Broadcast Formats". Capturing from HDV is covered in detail, in the first chapter.

  • Applications will not launch and install disk will not mount

    Just recently my applications have taken a turn to not wanting to launch. These include anything from Dashboard to the Microsoft Office Suite. It also includes anything that is downloaded form the internet, like the World of Warcraft download client. Long story short, the errors that I constantly get are
    System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.Framework/versions/A/Frameworks/Co reGraphics.Framework/versions/A/CoreGraphics
    I figured that with it being a system library issue and the Repair Disk Permissions has been completely useless, that a complete restore would be in order. And I was wrong. For some reason my Genuine 13-inch MacBook Pro Mac OS X Install DVD will not mount. Meaning I out the DVD in said drive and it will attempt to mount but will eventually give up and eject itself. I can load any other cd/DVD into my drive and it will mount without a problem.
    Everything is up to date software wise.

  • Final cut will not open within certain accounts

    Hi
    First post and mac experience limited but I have Final Cut Express HD which worked fine on a suite of standalone imacs. I have just rebuilt them onto a mac network with a local install of FCE. When I logon as admin, FCE will open no problem but when I logon with a standard user network account it will display the splash screen then disappear. However, not all standard accounts have this problem as some users on this mac have no such problem accessing FCE, this seems to rule out a permissions problem. Any help gratefully accepted.

    When you say you rebuilt them onto a Mac network, what exactly do you mean? Do you have a Mac running OSX Server (like an xServe) with client users having accounts assigned by Workgroup Manager? ie, they are not logging on to the local machine, they are logging on to their network account? If so, check their permissions in Workgroup Manager, are they allowed to run FCE?
    Also, what version of FCE do you have installed.
    And is there a separately licensed installation on each client Mac? FCE will not run 'networked' from a server and you cannot have multiple users on the same FCE serial number on a network.

  • Final cut will not capture

    i have tiger on my Powerbook g4, just put it on and my capturing will not show signes of capturing footage from my camera.... the sound waves dont even show up on the side. what could be wrong with the final cut after loading Tiger?

    If you tried in iMovie you should also have remote in FCP, correct?
    Can you see image in "log and capture" (in FCP)?
    You´re working with inernal or extrenal disk?
    Have you created a correct folder in system settings (FCP) so you can capture all the clips?
    I give you a tip:
    Wright all steps so we can help you!
    FCP is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get), it´s a simple and powerfull NLE!

  • Final cut will not work on my Imac

    I've gone from a 5 year old mac book to a brand new Imac. My final cut express worked on my old mac book but is not working on my Imac. It is saying I need an AGP graphics card, what is this and can I add one to my Imac? Live type and soundtrack are working just not the actual final cut. Please no confusing computer terms as I don't understand half the stuff that is said in this forum! Thanks, Sammy.

    I have the same problem. I can't load and save any movie - shortclip. I have tried several ways without succes.
    I just bought FCE 4.0 and it's new to me. Nothing works for me. I'm still working in Quicktime.
    My camera is Panasonic Lumix TZ7 - AVCHD. I can see my clips in preview but when I put into Sequence a "red hand" shows me "NO DATA". What am I doing wrong? I have also tried different setups i Preference.
    (I have the book and DVD from Apple Pro Training Series - FCE 4, but when I follow the instructions it doesn't match what happens on my computer.
