Final cut x will not recognize my external harddrive

Everything was working fine until I updated to 10.0.6. Now FC will not see my external HD as a HD, when I tried to import it has it under the camera finder instead of the drive finder. None of my past project are showing in the events or project areas. I tried to go to the FC folder and open it from there, it will open FC and show the projects for the first few sec while it loads, then everthig is gone.

This usually happens because FCP sees a folder on the root level of the drive as a camera, a folder with a name like Private or Video or DCIM.

  • Final Cut Pro Does Not Recognize New External Hard Drive

    I am editing a large video project and I had to buy an external hard drive. When I go into FCP, it does not recognize that I now have a lot more room to store media. How do I get it to recognize. Please help! Thanks.

    I can see the new disk on my desktop. What do I change in "Preferences" exactly?
    In Final Cut pro - System Settings - Shift Q...
    You can add it to your list of scratch disks... (which, BTW, should NOT include your system disk)

  • Final Cut X will not recognize the 16 channels of Audio in capturing from Tascam Firewire Card IF-FW/DM MKII

    Older version of Final Cut still captures fine. Still in Snow Leopard so that we have capatability of older Final Cut to continue capturing with, but are up to date on all drivers from Tascam for the card.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Macbook Pro will not recognize my external hard drive

    I just updated to a newer MacBook Pro.  I ran Time Machine on my old Macbook from a 2TB external USB hard drive.  When I hooked the hard drive to my new Mac, it wouldn't allow me to select it as the drive for Time Machine.  So I dismounted the hard drive and hooked it back to my old macbook to see if it still registered there (which it did).  Now when I try and hook the hard drive to my new macbook, it will not recognize it at all.  First question, why will it not recognize my new macbook, and second question, why does Time Machine not recognize the hard drive?  It has my old time machine files on it...hopefully I don't have to reformat it and lose all my backup??

    My hard drive is now connected.  But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one.  Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

  • HT4589 After Yosemite Final cut pro will not run and says there are no updates available.

  • Final cut x won't recognize new external hard drive

    Final cut x recognizes five other external hard drives except my new one.  I bought the same brand as the last two.  Every program on my mac recognizes it except Final cut x.  I do not have the most recent Final Cut X, but don't see why that would matter.  I have a year long project that I need to finish and can't afford an issue on a conversion.
    Any ideas?

    I installed it three different times with the mac installer.  I don't see anything that says video on it.  The only things listed though are the ones that came with the hard drive.  I appreciate your time.

  • P2 Files in FINAL CUT 5 will NOT work

    Hello,
    I have some P2 files in my hard drive that will not open in my version of Final Cut Pro (version 5.1.4). How can I bring the P2 files in final cut to use both audio and video?
    Thanks in advance!

    If the P2 file structure is not intact, the only option you have is RAYLIGHT.

    Next time, keep EVERYTHING on the card, the CONTENTS and LASTCLIP.txt file.

  • Final Cut Pro will not open

    I broke it. After I did, I tried to uninstall it, but did not make a difference.
    First I tried Delete User Preferences and could not find Final Cut Pro User Data under the Preferences folder. Now even com.apple.finalcutpro.plist does not exist. This is most likely because the application will not open and get to the point where it would care new User Preferences. After I uninstalled the program the registration page popped up and I re-registered so com.apple.RedFinalCutPro.plist is there, but nothing else.
    So pretty much I open the program. The white box that says final cut pro and has ‘loading’ with words flashing past under it pops up. Then the words stop flashing and the white box disappears. At the same time Final Cut Pro disappears on the loading dock.
    That is all I know. It is really really broken.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Not sure if this will even remotely help, but I had the same problem.
    I reset my scratch disks, waveform cache, thumbnail cache, and auto save vaults, and it fixed the problem. One of my hard drives came unplugged while I was working. It threw my scratch disks all outta wack. FCP would open then close, like you said. So I shut off one of my hard drives so it would open the box that tells you your scratch disk is missing. Thats when I reset them.
    I'm curious as to how you "broke it" to begin with. Maybe we can better help you if we know.
    Hope you get your problem taken care.

  • Final Cut Express Will Not Render.

    Hello, while working on a very important project for school, Final Cut Express stopped rendering anything, completely. No matter what project, what circumstance, what method I try, It will not render. I need to get this project done NOW and have no where else to turn to.

    Do the Render Items have check marks against them in the Sequence>Render All menu?
    Is Capitals Lock switched on?

    The problem is with your Flip Video software. It is launching but then crashing - that's what the message means:
    The prompt I get says Flip Video quit unexpectely.
    "Quit Unexpectedly" is a nice way to say "Crashed".
    You could try trash the Flip Software.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
    If that doesn't help you need to contact the makers of the Flip software.
    Regards
