Just installed FCP 6 and now can't open FCP 5 projects!  HELP

Yesterday I was trying to get some help with an FCP project that would no longer open. After a number of (very good) ideas from this and other forums did not help, I gave up and purchased the newest version of FCP Studio 2, figured I would soon anyway.
Well, now I'm really in trouble. FCP 6 will not open my FCP 5 project. It says it will, but it just runs the striped line forever and the FCP says it is 'not responding'. I've seen this problem unresolved here on this forum from last July and I'm very very concerned and actually starting to panic. There must be a way to open my projects? If not, I'm so scr*d. Excuse my French.
Has anyone found a fix? I've deleted all of the renders from the project. Running on Leopard with plenty of space on drives.

I have 15 gigs space available on the hard drive. I'm afraid I'm not sure which ram you are referring to, but its an older G5 that is fully rammed out and the project I'm trying to open is 82 mb. The applestore person I spoke to assured me that my computer had what was necessary to run FCP 6, but my projects are going to get huge. There's no avoiding that, I'm afraid. They are CG and graphics and effects heavy. So I really do need to know how to cope with technical problems while working in large projects.
I deleted the older FCP and Soundtrack software before installation, but I don't think that's a 'clean install' as I'm sure there are remnant folders lying all over the place. If there is a 'clean install' button on the installation disc I received, I somehow overlooked it. I'd be happy for any instruction on this.
I would love to send the project to you, if you are willing to give it a go! How nice of you to offer! How would I do that?

    i just updated to Yosemite and now can't open mail or finder or other apps.   Wheel just goes round and round

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • Just upgraded to vista and now can't open itunes

    I just upgraded to vista (what a pain) I have uninstalled itunes and then reinstalled itunes but I still can't open it. This is what happens. When I click on the itunes icon I get the licence agareement which I check agree and when it goes away I get an error message which says: "The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I have tried clicking on the Itunes icon and have gone to itunes properties control panel and clicked on security and tried to get permission many times. After reading post's on this fourm I went to the itunes folder on my c drive and went to the same control panel and tried again but to no avail. I had no trouble with itunes on XP and have used it for years. Btw I can open Quicktime player but it will not play my video files (I don't care because quicktime is not my default player). but I can open it.
    I have an Ipod nano and I want to use it to listen to audio books but I can't load them onto it without itunes.
    Thanks for any help in advances

    Yes I still have a problem. This is what it is in a nutshell. With User Account Control on in vista I can't open itunes. I am not sure what happens when I try but here goes. First I have installed itunes into my computer and have an icon on my desktop. When I click on that icon the first thing that happens is that I get a licenses agreement which I accept. As soon as I accept the agreement it goes away and I get an error message that says “The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." The only option that the error message gives me is to say “OK”. When I click on the OK button on the error message it goes away and nothing else happens. Because of this problem I have uninstalled and installed itunes at least 5 times.
    I have tried to read as many post in this forum as I can trying to find a solutions to this problem but to no avail. I have also gone to the vista forum and have read as many posts as I can about itunes problems that are there but to no avail. I have tried many fixes that have not work except one. And that was “to turn off the User Account Control.” When I turned off this control I was able to open itunes for the first times. Since then I have opened itunes many times and use it to load my ipod. But when I turn on User Account Control I have the same problem and I can’t open itune. I am open to suggestions on how to fix this problem and at this time I am not sure what is wrong. I have tried my things trying to fix this problem but for all I know I might have does something wrong. So at point I will try anything that you suggest.

  • I just installed Firefox 4, and now all my open tabs are gone. Thank you Mozilla!

    Did system restore and now I don't have Firefox at all...cannot open it.

    If you used a remove personal settings option from Windows or Firefox,you may well have permanently lost those bookmarks.
    * Undelete<br>If you did that then timely use of a file undelete utility and a good helping of luck are likely to be required to attempt recovery (probably best to stop using
    the computer entirely, until you have such utility).
    *Your Own Backups<br>You could have a backup system in place that backs up such files or the firefox profile, and you may be able to use that.
    * Synced to another machine<br> you may have the bookmarks synced on another machine, or even on an external server
    **see [[what is firefox sync?]]
    See also [[lost bookmarks]] but I am not sure any of that applies in this case, it is worth reading it though

  • I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iPhoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Am terrified I'm going to lose photos as they weren't all backed up. What do I do? Please help...

    I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iphoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Please help - am terrified I've lost my photos as they weren't all backed up.

    Pogs78,
    first things first — buy an external drive to use as a Time Machine backup destination and make a back up. That way, you won’t lose anything which is currently on your MacBook Pro.

  • HT1222 I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!!!!!!

    I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!

    Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion.  I've done all that.  I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password.  I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password).  My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do.  His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume).  We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
    I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections.  They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired.  Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit.  My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely.  The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed?  I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
    Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard.  I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update.  Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

  • Installed 10.1 and now can't access itunes store

    Just installed 10.1 and now getting a message that "Itunes can not connect to the Itunes Store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again". I am connected to the internet. Made no changed to network settings. Reinstalled Itunes 10.1. No dice. No pop up blockers on. No software firewall. Next steps?

    Interesting side note. I had posted to this forum earlier on the issue above - essentially a "me too, i'm also having problems with iTunes upgrade" - a post like many others I see in the forum. But I also copied in a letter I had sent to iTunes support when they failed to offer any solutions to my problem, and urged users to send something similar to iTunes if they were having problems as well - essentially to get Apple to own up and take responsibility. All I want is Apple to say, yes we recognize there is a problem and we're working to fix it.
    iTunes support told me they were not aware of any problems with 7.6. As I read through the 100's of other posts on this site about problems I saw many people who got a similar message from Apple.
    Apple promptly deleted my earlier post, and sent me an email saying that I was discussing Apple Policy, and that's not allowed apparently.
    I'm wondering then - is it Apple Policy to deny technical problems that are obviously impacting many users? And when that's highlighted there response is to censor them?
    I wonder if this post will get censored. I'm probably on their watch list.
    Appreciate anyone helping with my problem, or echoing if you've had the same.

  • Just installed Firefox 18 and now when I hover over bookmarks they get blacked out, why ?

    Just installed Firefox 18 and now when I hover over bookmarks they get blacked out, why?
    Windows 7 ,Lenovo G580, 8Gb Mem, 4GB AMD radion graphics card, no other changes other than installing FF18

    in this case the obvious other candidate would be an incompatible extension - can you disable them one-by-one to find out which one is interfering.
    alternatively you could try to reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks & passwords): [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

    I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
    At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
    You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
    In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.
