Help needed, powerbook down after FCP HD crashed

Hello,
any help would be useful :
my PB : PB 12, 756 (or so) MB memory, OSX 10.3.9
I was running FCP HD on my powerbook to compute some effect (timecode on a 4 minutes movie). The disks for rendering and so on is an external LaCie drive (firewire).
FCP crashed during the computation of effects. Before it crashed the PB hardrive was making noise as if it were reading again and again the same location.
Then I was not able to access the finder, neither was I able to soft shutdown the computer. So I turn it off pressing the power button 5 sec. Then started again. The hard drive was making about the same noise (like it was swapping for ever).
Not able to run any application, it took 10 minutes for the finder to appear.
I then restarted with the installation DVD, repair permissions and checked disks. 7 Gb of free space, all seems fine. Started again : same problem. 10 minutes to start, and the disk keeps swapping for ever.
Does someone have any idea ?
thanks for help
Marc

Thanks for the info.
I put my pb outside, where it is pretty cold. I got it to work normally for a few minutes, and I am trying to save all my datas. it is working slow but it is working at least.
So it temperature goes down it is working better. Does this give any clue ?

  • Please help: programs shut down after 60 sec's

    *Please help me:* Since two weeks or so (may be, after I updated my QuickTime), every program I opened *shuts down after roughly 60 seconds*. It is not closed but it gets out of the writing mode so that I need to click on the page first before being able to continue writing again (Word, email, also this thread). If I do not always look at my page I loose words and have to retype them again. Also, with backspacing it occurs: it gets out of the enter mode. I am not aware I changed anything in the user mode of my dear power book.
    Thank you for helping! rororoger

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Try starting up in Safe Mode. If can do so successfully, log in, Empty Trash, Restart normally and log in.
    If issue persists Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior

  • Lost Projects after FCP X crash

    I have lost two projects after a crash of FCP X, both on different external drives. 
    FCP X begins going slow and then freezes and then closes, when I reopen it and try to find the project I was just working on, it is gone!  I have searched all over and cannot find it.  When I try to update events and projects (under file) it is not there.
    Help!  This is about 8 hours of work lost.

    This helped recover one of my missing projects from one of my external hard drives, but when I attempt the same process to recover a different project from a different external hard drive, this warning appears:
    I did the exact same thing as with the other project/drive and for some reason this one is not working?? 

  • Help! Oracle down after log seq# reached 65535... (urgent)

    I'm using Oracle 8.0.5 on Linux, I've got an error message saying the LGWR process not functioning, and the instance go down!
    After checking v$log, I found that the log seq# reached 65535 in the online redo log and a meesage in the alert file saying 65535 is the max. value and can not be extended....
    Is there anyway to reset the log seq#??
    And any solution for this problem?
    null

    Here is the official solution:
    Solution Description:
    =====================
    The problem has been fixed in Releases 8.0.6 and 8.1.3 and higher. The
    workaround is to recreate the control file with a smaller maxloghistory value.
    If "MAXLOGHISTORY" is 65535, then when the log sequence number reaches 65535,
    LGWR dies.
    Solution Explanation:
    =====================
    "MAXLOGHISTORY" is one of the database settings specified in CREATE DATABASE
    statement. It is the number of redo log files about which the control file can
    keep information. This value determines how much space in the control file to
    allocate for the names of the archive redo logs files.
    The default value is operating system dependent. However, we have seen it
    default to 65535 on certain platforms. You need to set it to an appropriate
    value which is sufficient for automatic media recovery of the database.
    You must recreate the control file when you want to change "MAXLOGHISTORY"
    value.

  • Help need to understand After Effects Rendering

    Hi There
    I have just built my first editing pc.
    I want to do Editing in Premiere and AE.
    I understand it is best to share the load over 3 drives, and so i have
    C: SSD - OS/programs
    H: 1 TB HDD - media
    F: 500GB EXternal Hard drive - renders
    in premiere pro i have made it so i read of the media of H: and render to F:
    BUT in after effects i am having trouble understand all this disk cache and confirmed media cache business.
    I want to have my renders/previews go onto F: as i dont want my SSD to full up!
    what i want to know is where do i allocate the disk cache, confirmed media cache, and the data base stuff.
    or does after effects delete renders itsself afterwards.
    if anyone could help or give me a simple answer as to what these disk cache and media cache things are in AE that would be amazing
    Also when i hit space bar to play in AE it goes green for a few seconds then it leaves the bar behind blue!
    dont understand
    would appriciate  any hep

    Thank for for all your help.
    So tell me if im now right.
    When working in AE, I should:
    1.Import media that is on its own drive (in this case H:)
    2. Have my disk cache set on the SSD (C:) and maybe put it at a limit of 5-10 gb if I dont want it to take up much room.
    3. Not worry about ram previews taking up space as they only occupy my 8gb of ram temporarily, whilst im working in AE.
    4. Export/Render to My other drive (F:) when done.
    Has my understanding improved?... or am I still being a wally.
    Regards

    Hi All,
    I'm very new in development with wls 9.2 and eclipse.
    I'm trying to create a simple application (an EAR with a Session Bean).
    When I start the WLS inside Eclipse (debug or run mode), this one, after a few seconds or clicks, freeze with 99%CPU usage.
    Thanks in advance for help.... it's urgent....

    If I understand you correctly, Eclipse stops responding after a while.
    This may not be actually related to starting WLS. It sounds a bit like
    you might be having a memory problem. Could you specify your operating
    system, the amount of physical memory and the contents of your
    eclipse.ini file?

  • Help Needed : Video Glitch after exporting from Premiere Pro CC

    Hi all ,
                I have been experiencing this issue for sometime now. I occasionally encounter a video glitch after exporting a video from Premiere Pro CS6 or CC. Sometimes it happens in my NLE timeline , which I have to remove the affected clip that has the glitch/flicker problem from my bin and re-import the clip from my original source, which solves the problem.
                 However , the worst part is when the glitch/flicker happens when I have already exported the video when everything seems fine in the timeline of Premiere . My sequence settings do match with the clip . This issue happens intermittently as I always have to hope for the best when the video exports.
    Here is an Example of what I mean, the glitch/flicker happens at 3:28 of the music video.
                 Hopefully those who have the same issue can share how to troubleshoot this problem . Thank you.
    Regards,
    Elias Lo

  • Help needed~x61s dead after warranty expired

    I think the motherboard is burned. I saw the smoke came out from the left vent.
    Can I update my warranty one more year to avoid the cost of repair or just throw
    the machine to the rubbish? Its dead and can not light on.

    The warranty can be extended within one month of expiration date, how come your laptop short circuited did you have get water on the laptop or something, in which case warranty don't cover it. And you are better off selling the laptop for parts or get a new motherboard off ebay or IBM parts, and change it yourself.

    I'm using CS4 ONLY because I have a 32 bit Windows 8.1 computer which has Nvidia GFX card and an i5 processor.
    It has 4GB of RAM and that's all you need to know. Please help me guys. <3
    Thnx,

    What I meant was that it was running at all was a lucky happenstance.

    Could Adobe actually see my personal data of my computer and just put an error message there to prevent me from using After Effects just because they realized that I have a Windows 8.1 32 bit computer?
    No. There is no way they could do that. Especially not in CS4.
    There are a lot of people in the same situation as you who pop on the forums with some frequency. Well, not usually trying to run such an old version - it's usually CS5 or CS5.5, but the issues are similar: odd error messages. Trying to run old versions of software on new, unsupported operating systems can be a fun exercise (like getting Linux installed on a potato). However, even if it does work for a while, the least little thing can cause it to foul up. Maybe Windows updated, maybe a background service that wasn't running before is running now, maybe something subtle changed in your registry or your display settings or any of a thousand different things. The bottom line is that something changed between when it was working and now.
    The error message seems to indicate some sort of issue in your registry. That is a tricky area to mess around in. Have you installed ANYTHING on your computer between when it was working and now? Added any browser extensions? Installed any codec packs? Downloaded any apps? Updated any software?
    By the way, it's not very expensive to bump up to a 64-bit version of your OS if you did want to use a modern version of After Effects. I mean, if you want to continue working with After Effects, it would be a lot easier to use an older OS or a newer AE than to keep trying to kludge it like we are.

    Random unresponsive mouse, keyboard, and software when working in FCP.   The system would freeze and my only remedy was to shut down.   This would only happen when editing video.   I assumed my ATI Radeon 1900xt grapics card was the culrprit. 
    Ordered and installed the ATI Radeon HD 5770 upgrade from apple.  Trying to open FCP after the install, but FCP was blocked from opening for 3 reasons  1.  “Final Cut Pro requires that your system have 128 MB of VRAM; this system has only 0”   2.  Quartz Extream compatiblity and the minimim pixel height on my display was under under 800 (768) 
    I restarted the computer and reset PRAM (hold option, command, P & R keys down all together when you restart). Wait until you hear the second chime before releasing the keys.   This didn’t work.
    So, I trashed preferences.  That didn’t work.
    I opened up Applications, control click on FCP, “Show Package Contents”  Contents/Resources and opened "minsys.plist"  and set the minimum VRAM, Quartz Extream Capable, & Screen resolution all to “warn” instead of “block”.  This allowed FCP to begin it’s launch, BUT FCP  would then hang on the Looksuite Plugin and not open. 
    So, I then uninstalled LookBuilder & removed the plug in.  FCP would then open. BUT immediately after setting my timeline preferences to Apple ProRes 442 LT  FCP crashed with in seconds. 
    As a work around I tired creating a new user with admin privileges but to no avail.  FCP still crashes.   with this error “ Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000” 
    Any direction would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    > I purchased my rig with FCP and other programs already installed.  I don't have install disk's for FCP.  When I upgrade to SL, will I need to re-install FCP as well, or (assuming I have no other problems) can I upgrade the OS with out installing FCP again?<
    The previous owner is going to be in trouble in the afterlife but you're going to be in big trouble when you attempt to upgrade FCP. You will be able to purchase FCPX, from what we can tell, without your serial numbers.
    The general advice around here is to do a scroched earth total erase and install of everything when changing operating systems. In all my years of runing FCP on my Macs, I've never done that. I've alwyas just run the OS Update script and I have never had a problem with this method. I do, of course, make a clone of my system drive before attempting major changes.
    If you do an intialization install when you get Snow Leopard, you will need FCP disks. Whoever you bought the rig from stole them from you.

  • FCP 7 Crashing, Please Help!

    I have been editing a project with a multitude of short 1-2 min sequences. All videos having been transcoded from an original .MTS format to Apple Pro Res 422. After creating my 20th sequence or so in the project FCP started crashing as I pulled clips to the timeline. I was able to make it through another sequence or two after the first crash and then it started crashing as soon as I opened the program and the project loaded. I restarted computer multiple times, which didn't help.
    Then, I deleted my preferences. The program started fine until I opened my project again, and then it immediately crashed. Hopefully someone can help!!!
    Here is my crash log: http://pastebin.com/NnYcn7Fh

    I'm so sorry I didn't respond right away it's been crazy trying to trouble shoot this nonsense. Unfortunately it wasn't as simple as a corrupt project file. It ultimately came down to a time consuming process of transcoding to mpeg through clipwrap then twice through streamclip as prores. Or to import from camera through iMovie and then export to .mov (the problem was I didn't always have the camera available to me)  if you can avoid editing .mts in final cut I recommend it. Big pain in the ***!

    Bluetooth shuttted down after I updated to Mavericks, please help me !
    I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
    until I updated him from  SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
    2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
    ..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD  and the APPLE  MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
    I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
    That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
    I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
    I  asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
    When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth   ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
    Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
    I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
    I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
    Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?

    dietmarfromdeu,
    if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse?
