Mind Boggler, Apple Support No Help, FCP 6 Disables iSight?

Here is my problem. I have narrowed it down to Final Cut Pro 6 being the application disabling my iSight on initial startup. I have a brand new 13.3 MBP. Fresh install OS Snow Leopard. I installed each program then tried iSight and it went out after I installed FCP 6. Say I start up my machine go to Photo Booth, Says there is no connected camera. Exit the app and then re-open Photo Booth. It works. I cant find any preferences or info relating the two, or even preferences in the system library for Photo Booth. Apple said they have never heard of this. I took my machine to the Apple Store they replaced the MBP isight worked came home installed all my software got the problem. They said if that were to happen it would be a software related problem so I fresh installed and did each program individually and narrowed it down to FCP. The only thing that was in the Startup folder was Apple QMaster preferences so I deleted those and still have the problem. I cant figure it out what so ever. Any ideas?

Before I retire for the rest of the night I should mention a few more things.
The entire computer was re-setup clean. Full erase and install of OS X 10.4.10 and clean install of FCS2.
I did use the Render Manager to erase all render files and tried again... multiple times.
I restarted the G5 each time and tried rendering with no other apps running.
I've repaired permissions.
At least one time I came back to the computer and FCP was just closed with no crash or warning messages. Every other time I get a message allowing me to send a report to Apple. I've sent the report only once since the crash report is the same (I compared them).
I tried re-importing the project from the original project file.
Originally, before I was told by others to answer "no" to the field question on import, I answered "yes" to that question and was able to render every sequence in the project without any issues. After being told to answer "no" I deleted the project and render files, reimported the project, and am now trying to render again.
If you're wondering why I would want to work on the project some more I'm thinking of doing the color correction all over again using Color so I can see if I get better results than with Magic Bullet Editors Look Suit or Colorista. This required me to convert the 5.1.4 project to 6.0.1. I know it's not recommended, but I want to give it a shot anyways to see if I can improve the project.
That's all I have right now. If you need any other specific info let me know. I really appreciate the help anyone is able to provide. Thanks!
-Mike

How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help??

How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto

Your photos are gone. When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone. In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos. Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?

Why should I have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that the iO6 caused to begin with????

Would somebody please explain to me why I should have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that THEY caused to begin with??? I still cannot connect to WiFi with my iPhone since the upgrade yesterday. Will they pay for my data overages??? I have tried every suggestion that has been on the Apple Forums...and none of them work. Then when I tried contacting Apple..I found out I have to PAY for their help. Are they kidding me??

But it's Apple's fault I'm having a problem...not mine. It's not right.

I have a disabled Ipad, niece tried to get one it, but disabled it, its been so long I forgot PW now, I've been trying to get I touch with Apple support for that last couple months with no success, but today for the first time in what seems like a millions million years, they responded, and they said to open or tap button below to test... lmao, how am I supposed to tap the button when I cant even get into my ipad, lol, grow a brain.
I had come to this site last month sometime, and asked the same questions, how do I restore my ipad? when I connect it to the laptop or iTunes, it says to turn off find ipad, someone from this site guided me to delete this option from icloud but it didn't work, I removed find ipad from the icloud, but it still says that or to remove it, I did, now what? what can I try? I've tried turning to Apple... They seem to not care about my problem, or haven't even tried to help. until today. but lol as stated above, I cant get into my ipad to tap button, if I can I wouldn't bother with this.
I bought the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, man I LOVE IT.... I Should switch oer to Samsung instead... at least, after I got my new cell, and when I tried to contact Samsung support to ask questions they responded with 5 miutes.

how am I supposed to use my ipad to go to setting on icloud? when I can't get into the ipad. here's a pic, look at what it say to use (ipad).. I CAN"T
I cant post a pic.but it basically says:
"turn off find ipad using ipad, before you can restore." lol
am trying to get my ipad going, if I was able to use my ipad to go into icloud to turn off find my ipad, then, it would already be accessible. am tring to acess my ipad, if I can post a pic, am sure all you people reading this will make you laugh on the floor rolling around kicking your rears.

Podcast Not Appearing?? Apple support no help!!

We have a radio program that has been featured as a podcast on itunes since Jan 2009. We had no problems with our podcast feed until the past two months when a new intern messed up the RSS feed. I corrected the mistakes, but our podcast feed never updated to reflect that it had been corrected. (It had stopped updating our feed). After a couple weeks of no updates, I contacted Apple support and they recommended I deleted and resubmit the feed.
I deleted the feed and once it was gone, I resubmitted it.
It has been two months and we still have not been posted to the itunes page. I have submitted a couple times over the past two months. We are not getting a 'duplicate feed' error -- just no feedback and no posting. I contacted itunes support and pretty much got the "check if your feed is valid" and "check to make sure you didn't get duplicate podcast message" form message, despite my ongoing communications with them.
I ran our feed through the validator and there are no issues AND this feed worked fine until our intern messed up the RSS code (now fixed).
Feed: http://radiogreenearth.org/blog/?feed=podcast
I've been searching itunes to see if we are there SOMEWHERE (no avail), but did see something odd -- our first podcast we posted from Nov 2009 shows up when you do a search for our show 'Radio Green Earth' but if you click on it, you get a message about that item not being available in the Itunes store. That is the only episode that appears during a search and our show's podcast w/ photo is not appearing at all.
Please help us out, we are all getting very frustrated.

Also, I have even tried a new cable and upgraded to a new USB 2.0 Card.

I cant access icloud, my email address has changed recently and I cant use any emails and passwords or set up a new id, cant get hold of apple support for help, very frustrated!

I can not access icloud, my email address changed a while ago none of my email addresses and passwords work, I have tried to get a new password but that dosent work!, tried to contact apple support, no luck there either! What can I do?

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Apple Support- Any help out there? Please.

Is there anyone that will ever answer the phone?
I'm curious - I've called and called. Is there anyone
alive at Apple?
Just curious - would love to get Leopard working fully
and I'm sure there are answers, but nothing - a void,
black hole at Apple support.

Of course now that you have started your own thread, let's get it clear. Apple does not manufacture HP Officejets. So your claim on this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5925856#5925856
"The above are only Apple products"
is patently false basically nullifying your statement:
"You are incorrect when you say that it's only due to 3rd party app."
HP has a guide for compatible drivers, and what to do when upgrading to ensure compatibility:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?lc=en&cc=us&docname=bpm35001
If the guide does not list your printer, contact HP support to ask them to look into it.
As you have also started a thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5925568#5925568
I'd keep an eye on it. You may also find something on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
You may find a third party driver works better.

Apple support very helpful

just got off the phone with apple support about my 3G still having SMS lag and app crashing, said if I did a restore already that there was realy nothing to do but replace the phone, or get it repaired. He set me up an appointment with my apple store so hopefully i'll get my better working phone when I go in tomorrow. I highly suggest that anyone with issues call support they are really nice, and seem to be familiar with the issue of the iphone.

I can't say that I blame you for going crazy. I'd also keep an eye out for any cracks in the case. I noticed one on my iphone just before the appointment. I also mentioned it to the Tech guy and someone in line mentioned to me that he also had problems with cracks. Looking around here I noticed that many have had similar issues. Good luck with your appointment.

Apple support wont help can you?

All the level one tech says is to reinstall leopard.... That cannot be the only option. Has anyone seen this warning before?

Ron,
Those are just warnings and do not create any problems according to Apple.
If you want to get rid of all but one of those warnings, download and reinstall 10.5.1 directly from the Apple site. It will get rid of all but one of those SUID warnings.

It's Serious: Apple support cannot help: keyboard typing cursor not move.

I have tried call Apple 3 times. And issues still not fixed yet.
This happens randomly while I was using Safari, the cursor won't move forward while I am typing, so each new letter I type keep replacing the previous one..
any advice here, it's a new macbook pro...thanks.

Take it in for service.

Ipad locked up with icloud backup message that device hasn't been been backed up in 3 weeks and doesn't respond to the OK or anything else. Can't find serial number to go to Apple support. Any help?

Question: How can I contact Apple Support for help without the Ipad serial number?

You can't restart or reset the device?

My Mac was hung up, friendly support person helped me empty cache, said to do it once a month. How did I do it? And what other regular maintenance things ought I be doing?

My Mac was hung up, friendly Apple Support person helped me empty the cache, said I should do it once a month. Forgot how I got there to do it. And what other regular mainentance ought I be doing?

See Thomas Reed's Mac Performance Guide, item 7.
You don't need to clean your caches once a month. Doing so will only slow down your computer. OS X takes care of that kind of maintaince.
