Motion 5 seriously needs updating.

Just completed a new project (had to abandon my previous project as some layers were not getting rendered) and discovered that a layer is also *not* rendering even though it appears in the Canvas on playback!
Maybe I'm doing something wrong here - anyone have an idea what migth be the cause?

It's a real shame though - Am wondering that Motion 5 got rushed to release in order to accompany Final Cut Pro X and the new Compressor.
The UI gets sluggish even by just having a ten minutes audio track imported and *no* motion graphics going on! This is hardly what you could call a Pro App. Just hope the update is well in progress

  • App Store always shows Motion needs updating...

    I've had this problem for months now.  The App Store always shows Motion needs updating.  But I have updated Motion (I check to make sure I have the current version). 
    I've ignored this problem up until now because Motion works fine and I do have the current version.  I figured that sooner or later Apple would issue some fix, or that it would disappear on a future Motion or OS update.  Well, I just updated to Mountain Lion yesterday, and I've updated Motion at least a couple of times, and the problem continues.
    And now it's getting stuck in a loop showing I need to update to 5.0.7, even though I've updated.  But now when I look in the update section of the App Store, it shows that it is possible to update (even though I have the current version).  If I click "Update" again, it starts downloading and then starts endlessly installing it, but never finishes.
    Any idea what's going on here?  Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I did speak with Apple support last night.  I uninstalled & reinstalled, and now I have the current version and it is working fine. 
    However, I'm still having the same problem I've been having for months:  The App Store shows that I need to update Motion, even though I already have the current version.  I don't know what is causing that, especially after I uninstalled and reinstalled.

  • HT4591 Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

    I'm running Snow Leopard and Motion 5.0.4. Software Update doesn't list anything for Motion, but the release notes say it's up to 5.0.7! Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

    Thanks! The problem I had was that I simply needed to download a new version from the App Store. I had honestly completely forgotten about the App Store. I'm on 5.0.7 now.

  • Motion 2.1.2 update won't install

    My Motion 2.1 will not accept the Auto upgrade to 2.1.2
    solution appreciated

    I had the need to reinstall my system one more time, so I decided to test out a few theories with the Motion 2.1.2 update.
    As with any system install, there were a bunch of updates for the Leopard OS and apps that come with it. Executed the important ones (10.5.1, Security Update).
    After installing MS Office (sad but necessary), the very next install was Final Cut Studio. Hours later, it was done and I checked Software Update. Bunch of FCS updates available, including Motion 2.1.2, as well as QT and iTunes. So based on my presumption in my just-earlier post here, I tried installing the Motion 2.1.2 update without any others. No dice.
    I then went through some non-FCS updates (Front Row, perhaps another), which all went well. Then tried the Motion update again. No dice. I basically wanted to see if there was some specific other update that produced the success behavior that I saw (being able to do the Motion update without reboot).
    I then went through all the FCS updates, which all went well. Tried the Motion update again. No dice.
    Performed the second Compressor update, went well. Tried the Motion update again. No dice.
    Ad nauseum, I ended up at the point that StefanWolfrum was at: a list of three updates -- QT, iTunes, and Motion 2.1.2. I let it do all of them, with the reboot process that QT wanted. Everything went just peachy, and after the reboot, I had Motion 2.1.2.
    My conjecture is that my success in a non-reboot Motion update was a fluke, and probably due to a residual hack that I had left over from my work in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1135450&tstart=0. My conclusion from that work was that there was something funky going on with the package's VolumeCheck script, since modifying the exit value allow the installer to work as expected. I'm going to conclude from my success here that the reboot-install process just avoids that script entirely, or sufficiently ignores it. I much prefer not having to hack the installer package, but it isn't every day you get a reboot-required update....

  • How to install OS 9.2.1 on G3 with no OS; says needs updated firmware, how?

    I am trying to install OS 9.2.1 in an old G3 which at present has no OS in it.
    The screen says it needs updated firmware to do so. When I try to follow instructions, it tells me the CD is locked, which is obvious since it is an installation CD. Other instructions seem to assume there is already an older OS in the machine to update. Anyone with an idea of how to break this log jam?
    [email protected]

    Hi wmarina !
    Welcome to the Discussions, and Happy Thanksgiving!
    The only G3 that will give you a Firmware Update warning when trying to install OS 9, is a Blue & White G3 tower.......
    If that's what you have, then getting OS 9 onto it is a bit of a Catch-22, Can o' Worms, P.I.T.A., or whatever other favorite sayings you may have for a difficult job........
    "Other instructions seem to assume there is already an older OS in the machine to update."
    Very astute observation, and 100% correct.
    The OS that is assumed to be on the B&W's drive is MINIMUM 8.5.1, and therein lies the Catch-22.....
    A BOOTABLE 8.5.1 Install CD is NOT available as a RETAIL CD........
    The Retail CD is 8.5 install, with the 8.5.1 UPDATER, which is also on the CD.......
    The 2nd part of this problem is that the Firmware Updater (which is on the OS9.1 CD) MUST be run from the booted Hard Drive with 8.5.1 on it.........
    Your options are:
    1. Find a set of the ORIGINAL SOFTWARE CDs that shipped with a Blue & White G3, and install the original OS from there.........
    2. Do what I had to do. Take out the Hard Drive and move it to an older Mac (i.e. Beige), and install OS 8.5 on it, and update it to 8.5.1, take the Hard Drive out and re-install it into the B&W again, boot to it, and do the Firmware update at that time.........
    Note that NO Mac can boot to an EARLIER version OS than it shipped with when new, which is why you will have to use a beige to install 8.5.1 to that hard drive........
    As a secondary note, to avoid more problems, get a new Pram battery (1/2 AA 3.6V).
    Available at any Radio Shack.
    Good Luck !

  • My ipod touch is telling me that the skype and twitter apps need updating. When I try to run them they fail. I have tried deleting the apps via itunes but it doesn't work and I have tried updating the apps via itunes and it says they are updated.

    My ipod touch is telling me that the Skype and Twitter apps need updating.  When I try to update them they both fail. I have tried numerous times.  I have tried connecting the ipod to itunes and removing the apps, to reload them but that does not work either.  If I try and update the apps through itunes the system tells me they are updated.  Can anyone assist please?

  • Hi why when i plug in my ipad to my macbook the apps wont update that need updating on macbook and ipad

    Hi i am baffled as to why when i have apps sitting in my Itunes on the Macbook that need updating used to start straight away once i plugged in the ipad or iphone ,now all updates on ipad or iphone i do manually same with the macbook .Any help would be most grateful thanks guys..

    Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

  • I just installed Mozilla Firefox 3.6. This is the first time have have installed Firefox. My problem is I no longer have the screen which lists which plugins need updating and researching. How can I find out which plugins need updating or researching?

    After installation it told me to update or research several plugins. I updated Silverlight and JAVA. I was instructed to shut down and restart my computer to test the JAVA installation. I did this and the installation is fine. At this point I no longer had the screen with the list of plugins that need updating or researching.

    THis is probably the page you saw.

    You can also access it from the Firefox menu by clicking "Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins" and then clicking the Find Updates button at the bottom.

    My apple ID was correctly changed but my @me account and @icloud account addresses need updated to reflect my married name.

    I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

  • When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

    When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

    Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

  • HT1338 I need to update my software in order to download the new version of iTunes in order to put songs on my new iPod. But my software doesn't need updating..or so my computer says. What should I do??

    I need to update my software in order to download the new version of iTunes in order to put songs on my new iPod. But my software doesn't need updating..or so my computer says. What should I do??

    If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
    Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.

    There's been a problem with this all day.  Seems to be a server problem  -  wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.
