Need help - FCE shutting down automatically

I use Final Cut express on my mac mini and I am trying to capture HD footage. For whatever reason, the second it begins to capture, the program automatically shuts down without an error message or anything to explain why. Would someone please explain this to me? I am trying to edit an important movie and am going crazy with this. Also, I'm not real understanding of computer terminology, so if you could explain this in terms I could understand, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
What version of FCX are you using? 3.5?
Check this out:
System Requirements
Macintosh computer with 500MHz or faster PowerPC G4 or G5 (550MHz for PowerBook G4) or Intel Core Duo
512MB RAM
Display with 1024-by-768 (or higher) resolution
An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme or an Intel GMA integrated graphics processor in MacBook or Mac mini
Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later
QuickTime 7.0.4 or later
HDV features require 1GHz or faster processor and 1GB of RAM (2GB recommended)
500MB disk space required for applications; additional 16GB of additional storage space for Soundtrack and LiveType content (can be installed on separate disks)
DVD drive for software installation
My guess is the OS second the RAM and my final answer would be QT, Regis.
Also, just so you know, if you're trying to capture onto your system HD you're in for a lot of trouble regardless of the format and/or computer used.

Adobe Reader is free. It always has been.
You have obviously downloaded and installed Acrobat (30 day trial version) and the trial period has expired.
You need to uninstall Acrobat (using the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features [Vista/7])
Then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
to completely remove the Acrobat installer files.
Then download Reader 9, install it, and go about reading PDFs for free.
EDIT: Please, please please.... do NOT post a phone number in the forums.
You're inviting trouble if you do.
Not everyone who reads these pages is here to help fellow Adobe product users.

IMovie required an update, now it is shutting down automatically. Please help.

iMovie required an update, now it is shutting down automatically. Please Help.

To stop Auto updates use: '''Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Update Tab ''' <br> select the options you require ( see [[Updating Firefox]] )
As for why your version does not work I do not know but suggest you look at:
* [[Safe Mode]] Note when using safe mode do not make changes on the first dialogue Window you see; click the Continue button
* [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
You may also need to review the versions of Java see
* [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
* "Why do I need Java 6 Update 10 and above for Firefox 3.6 and later versions? " - http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml
Your System details show you as using version 3.6.12 of Firefox, that is not the latest version, it would be normal practice to update to the latest version, which is why you are being offered the updates. See also [[Software Update Failed]]

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

Does the laptop also shut down from safe mode ?
If yes, the perform hard drive self test to figure out whether it is a hardware or software issue .
Plug in the ac adapter and remove all external device . Then, perform following steps to perform hard drive self test .
1. Turn on/ Restart the laptop and keep tapping f10 key until bios set up screen appears .
2. Select Tools/Diagnosis option using up or down arrow key.
3. Select hard drive self test option.

MacBook shut down automatically when rebooting

I have The following problem after installing mac osx lion on my Mac book: The computer shuts down automatically few seconds after i reboot The computer. Please help. I checked The disk utility but there are nô errors on The disk.

Hi
Have you solve your problem yet? Mine was the same - it's Dockables "fault"
Were you able to boot into Safe Mode, by pressing and holding Shift key at Start up, I think you need to press and hold a while, till you see a progress bar below the Apple logo.
Then you can quickly go and delete all the Dockables.
If you found another way to boot up, also delete Dockables immediately.
Cheers

On a sx40. When I turn on camera I get Lens Error Will shut down automatically. Restart camera

I need help. I bought a sx40 camera on ebay. After only a month of occassional use I now get a lens error message.
It states Lens Error, shutting down automatically Restart Camera. I have not dropped the camera or abused it in any way. But there is a really loud screeching sound as the lens tries to come out but can't. Anyone have any answers.

yes first see if you can get the extended warranty thru Square Trade if its not to late or what the return agreement with the seller was...do that first. If you used PayPal they also offer automatic purchase protection too. Lens problems are not cheap to repair. Second use some compressed air and see if you can gently blow out and thing that may have gotten inside the lens assembly. Blow the air from inside the battery compartment and any other open space...the key it to blow anything out. Also blow the air around the lens assembly. That sound you hear is not a good sign.

Last Wednesday my iPhone 4 shut down automatically and it wouldn't let me reboot for about a half an hour. It finally rebooted and then it started with the batterty drainage and no service, going in and out of service. What's wrong?

Hi everyone... Last Wednesday my iPhone 4 shut down automatically... I had battery. It took about a half an hour to reboot it. After that I started having trouble with going in and out of service and battery drainage. I do have that update 5 ios... or whatever its called... but I did that about 2-3 months ago and had no problems. I called Apple and they wouldn't do a **** thing for me. I called AT&T and they reset the network... didn't work. I did a hard shut down and didn't work. Now today, every call I had was dropped. So of course this morning when I woke up at like 8:30 am by 10:30 am my battery went from 100% to 35%. ***. Can someone help me???

How long are you leaving it on the charger?
Are you connecting it directly to an electrical outlet or trying to charge via USB? USB may not provide enough power to adequately charge the device if the battery is that low.
If none of that helps, then the only option would be a warranty replacement as either the battery or system board is bad.

Phone shut down automatically

my phone just shut down automatically and i've just bought in not more than a month !! OmG
And now i cant switch it on ... How?

First plug it into a charger and wait at least 15 to 20 minutes to give the battery some charge in case the battery has completely discharged.
Then press both the Home and Power On button together for some 15 seconds or so until the apple logo appears (ignore the power off red slider if it appears and keep on holding the buttons). Let go when the apple logo appears and wait until the iPhone resets and restarts.
Hope this helps.

QuickTime Player Shut Down Automatically!!!!!!?

Recently I purchased the new iMac 27 inch late 2012 with OS X 10.8.4.
Later on, I learned that there is something wrong with QuickTime Player.
Every time when I tried to play a MP4 video, QuickTime Player shut down automatically.
I also cannot create new video, audio, and screen recording.
When I ever tried it, it again shut down by itself.
I saved the error message in TextEdit, and shared it here.
Feel free to take a look, and see if anyone know how to fix it.
Thank you~

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

I keep getting an error message that my computer needs to be shut down. It is like a dark screen comes down and I have to hold the on button until it shuts down. Why is this happening?

I keep getting an error message that my cmputer needs to be shut down. A dark screen comes down and it says to restart. I have to hold the ON button until the computer shuts down. Then I can restart and it says it is sending a report to Apple. This seens to be happening a lot lately. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Carol...
