New install and FCP won't open

Hello,
I am new to FCP. I come from a PC based Editor. After installation FFCP opened once. I closed it and now it won't open. When I attach my AG DV2500 deck it wants to start then just quits. Without the deck attached it says it can't locate the "Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480). Try again or click continue to set external device to none" Then Pof it's gone. How do I set my external device to none?
I have downloaded updates. No help
HELP
Thanks
Phil

you might have corrupted your preferences ... how I don't know.
trashing them is always a good place to start when things go awry
also, backing up a good set, that you can revert to, is well worthwhile
there are a couple of utilities that make this quick and painless:
FCP Rescue
and FCP Attic
you can google for them or just search here
cheers

New install of CS3 won't open NEF (Nikon RAW) images

New install of CS3 on my new PC laptop won't open NEF (Nikon RAW) images. Same PC product opens them on my older desktop, and CS5 for MAC opens them on my iMAC.
What am I missing? CS3 has been registered and activated. Thank you

Hi, Again, John,
I followed the instructions to the letter, and nothing worked. I still got the wrong kind of file message. After I tried to use the plug-in, I could no longre open pages in IE or Firefox. I have to wipe my new computer and reinstall everything. This time, I made CS3 the first thing I installed, and followed the instruction again as follows:
"Windows
®
1. Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats.
5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to anot
her location (for example, a new folder on your
desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, fr
om the download into the same folder as Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge."
Still unable to open RAW images in PS. I did notice that the two files I copied to the desktop folder were the same, although one was slightly larger than the other. I chose to keep both.
Why is CS3 working on my desktop from the same disk with no plu-in, but not on my new laptop? Is it Windows 8.1 instead of XP? That doesn't make much sense. PLEASE help. This is insane.

So, somehow Numbers saves my files as a new version and then won't open them until I update? How is that possible?

I saved a spreadsheet a few days ago and now Numbers won't open it saying I need to update my version. I only use the icon on my dock to access Numbers and I didn't update anything. I also restarted my computer. This happens around every 6 months and then goes away after several restarts. I am tired of this game....Apple fix yourself and let me open old versions.....

Have you made sure you are trying to open the document with the latest version of Numbers? You likely have both versions on your computer, the new version in your main Applications folder and the old version in a subfolder named iWork '09 or similar.
Any icons you had on your Dock before the upgrade still point to the old version, unless you took steps to change that. Find the new version in Applications and drag it to the Dock so you have an icon pointing to the version you want.
The icons are similar, four bars for Numbers 3.x , three bars for Numbers 2.x.

New update won't install and iTunes won't open

Trying to install the latest update to iTunes. It won't run and now all I get is a blank dialog screen when I open iTunes. Anyone else having this problem?

What happens when you connect the iPod to the computer and restore the iPod via iTunes?

Just installed new updates and Safari won't open due to TelevisionFanaticPlugin

I just insalled all my new updates for my MacBook. Every time I open the Safari brower, it automatically closes. The error message says it crashed and it is due to the TelevisionFanatic Plug in. What can I do to fix this?

If it's not in the Internet Plug-Ins folder check the following.
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.
The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
Another user found the same plugin in /Library/ScriptingAdditions > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3221294?start=0&tstart=0

In outlook, when I try and open a link, chrome wants to install and it won't open in modzilla

I loaded the new version of Outlook and when I get an email with a link attached, when I click to open.. I get a screen to install Chrome.. How do I get rid of that and let Firefox open the link.

I think I'm missing some information here. Is this on your email site using the regular address book? The specifics of how it works and what might have changed in Firefox probably depends on which site it is (e.g., Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail).
If you think the problem might be that Firefox is automatically filling in the form in a way that the site doesn't connect to your address book, you can remove saved form entries or completely disable that feature. This article has the details: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
Does that help?

I just updated to the new iTunes and it won't open.

When it does, it takes forever and then crashes when I connect my iPhone 4s. I realised I had this problem ever since updating to the latest version?

Sounds like it is more an issue with your computer than itunes as it happened with the previous version as well.
What computer are you using Windows or a mac?
For windows I found this the solution is apparently to hit the esc key
http://it.thelibrarie.com/weblog/2010/06/drag-and-drop-stops-working/
For a mac
Sleep/wake wasnt working for me so I pressed <Command> + <Alt> + <esc> to launchforce quit and from there i relaunched finder, and it worked for me..........

Bought a new computer and it won't open old illustrator 9.0 program

I want to continue working in this program as it suits my needs. However, I get various error messages when trying to access my old ai or eps files to work on. One message states I'm out of RAM. This is not at all possible. Another says there is a runtime error...abnormal program termination. Does anyone know how I can convert old files worked on in Windows XP to my new program in Windows 8? Please help.

Assuming you have tried the various compatibility modes, if your Windows 8 is the Pro version, you could try setting up a virtual machine running XP on which to run your Illustrator. No guarantees it will work, however.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

Keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?

I have Firefox version 3.6.22 (Mac) & keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?

something similar has been happening to me for a a couple weeks (even before the most recent update, but now is definitely worse) on my 2010 MacBook Air. Firefox freezes upon startup, and then freezes maybe every twenty minutes or so when I'm actively using it, staying frozen for at least a minute or two. it drives me crazy.

Installed new version of Mac OS x and iWeb won't open

I installed new version of Mac OS x last night and iWeb won't open

I spent an exhausting night testing programs after updating. My iWeb works as expected after the update. No network problems whatsoever. You may want to see if you are connected to the internet. iWeb opens incredibly slowly when there is no connection. Try opening Safari and see if you are surfing normally.
Lion hides the Library folders, probably so users can't mess with them. I downloaded the latest beta of Onyx and was able to get the Library folders to show again.
The only problem I had were some font issues. Do you have a font manager installed? Lion installs its font program and it is set to automatically activate fonts. I turned all autoactivation off.
Lion has no Rosetta and Power PC programs are no longer supported. Do you have the newest version of iWeb installed? I also have been updating my Mac constantly. You may want to run software update and make sure all your programs are current.

Itunes installed but it won't open the new version- any advise

itunes installed but it won't open the new version- any advise

Hello goreckim,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having some issues with iTunes on your Mac Pro. You may want to isolate the issue further by testing to see if it persists in a new user account:

Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

yes;
I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

Installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files. Why?

I just recently installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files.
I did a search looking for a solution in the forums and here are the actions I've taken:
1) Made sure the files were't read/write protected.
2) Restarted the computer.
3) Made sure all the program files were in the correct folder.
4) Reinstalled the program.
Pages won't read .doc files that were originally Pages files and exported as .docs
It also won't read .doc files that were created using a relatively recent version of Office.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Please help.

If it's a doc created with the late Office 2011, it's not really surprising.
The importer embedded in iWork application was delivered in january 2009 and didn't evolve.
For this reason, it's unaware of new features delivered with Office 2011.
Better try with LibreOffice.
