No disc available at opening FCE

Hello, every time I open FCE i get a message telling me i have no access to the chosen disc, HD Mac, no reading or writing. When I verify i can see that the audio import is not active, which i cannot change. can you please give me a solution, because the app. does not open and i have no other choice than to quit. i have already repaired disc permisssions and re-installed 3 times, also erased preferences. thank you very much.

Also, if you have reinstalled FCE without first *COMPLETELY UNINSTALLING* it you are very likely to have problems.
Use this free app to completely uninstall:- http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm

  • I STILL can't open FCE :(  I need help!

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased Final Cut Express 2.0 and installed it onto my computer. After running into numerous glitches, I upgraded to FCE 3.5.
    I installed FCE 3.5 and LiveType and Soundbooth both are working great. However, when I open FCE, it begins to open and starts to load. You assume it is going to load in, but then the screen disappears and you are back to the desktop. It dissappears on the splashscreen when something about "AU Pitch" comes up.
    I have deleted the preference files from the library, figuring that would be the solution. However, it seems as if that still has not solved my problem. I also tried Reparing Disc Utilities AND I tried re-installing just Final Cut Express after deleting the files that I thought might have been corrupt. I also tried deleting any thrid party downloads or anything I thought might not agree with Final Cut...but still, no luck.
    Can anybody lend some advice as to what else I might try? If you have steps on how to do these things, that'd be great, too.
    The apple support people that I called said I should come on here, so please do not advise me to call Apple.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    Did you trash the preferences and uninstall FCE EXACTLY as per the instructions in your other post ?
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6309315#6309315
    If you didn't do EXACTLY what was in those instructions you will have wasted your time.
    If they don't cure it you must have something unusual installed on your computer that is causing a conflict.
    As nobody else has access to your Mac, there is no way of telling what that might be.
    You haven't by any chance got FileVault turned on ? (Find it in System Preferences>Security)
    Why don't you uninstall FCE 3.5 properly and reinstall FCE 2 ? This way, if it worked it might suggest there is a problem with the FCE 3.5 DVD. (You will get an error message but you simply press the esc key to let FCE open).
    How did you originally install FCE 3.5 ? Did you put FCE 2 on first ?
    You shouldn't have FCE 2 on an Intel Mac at all. You just install the FCE 3.5 Upgrade ONLY and put in both serial numbers when asked.

  • I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.

    I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.  I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers.  I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect.  I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own.  One is operational and one is dead.  I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

  • Not being able to open FCE

    Hi, I'm having trouble opening FCE HD, I was using it this morning.
    My external Hard Drive got unpluged and all the media was off, so instead of reconnecting, I saved the changes, quited FCE, plugged back the external Drive and try to open FCE again.
    It never did. It only shows the first gray window that appears when opening, the one that has all the information about FCE, like serial number and version info etc. but that window doesn't even finish loading just disappears and never opens FCE.
    Can someone tell me, what's going on?
    How can I fix the problem.
    Thanks

    Disconnect your computer from AC power for at least 30 minutes (overnight would be better). Plug it back in (with the external drive connected and powered), start it up and see if it works then. Report back.

  • Help canceled itune backup disc drive wont open??

    Why wont my disc drive open to remove disc?
    I canceled the stupid itunes offer to back up my music and because said it'd take hours (Im an idiot I guess I didnt know it would take that long).
    Now my disc drive wont open I tried ejecting it by my comp and clicking eject disc or open on disc drive didnt work.
    Tried task mangager end, didnt do it.
    Whats the deal? I will never try to back up itunes again, I mean they save my data I buy anyway.
    Help!?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you ! It worked I was headed there but wasnt sure if that was the right action or not.
    I was affraid it would just pick up where it left off.
    UGH. That was my first experience with that in several years of pc use LOL.
    If my disc drive works I guess it didnt hurt it? It was running kinda hard after but seems okay.

  • [SOLVED] xdg-open: no method available for opening

    I'm using Openbox. Whenever I try to use xdg-open to open a file or link from the command line, I get the error "xdg-open: no method available for opening". This happens with all files and links, regardless of type. I've tried editing ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, both manually and with xdg-mime; neither had any effect. I've also tried setting environment variables such as $BROWSER; that had no effect, either.
    Strangely, exo-open works with no problem (although the only way I've found to change file associations is by using Thunar). I would just switch to exo-open, except I've encountered a couple of programs that rely on xdg-open for opening web links and the like.
    Has anyone else seen this problem? At this point, I'm pretty confused, and I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

    Was poking around with this again. I still haven't solved the problem, but I did notice an error that might be a clue. When I enter "xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler", I get the error "xdg-settings: unknown desktop environment". I don't have a DE installed, just openbox (although as far as I can tell, XDG doesn't require a DE).
    Does anyone know what this means? Searches for this error have only led me to threads recommending solutions that I've already tried without success (editing mimeapps.list, setting environment variables like BROWSER, etc.).

  • Is it possible to open FCE projects in the latest version of FCPX?

    Is it possible to open Final Cut Express 4 projects in the latest version of Final Cut Pro X (10.0.4)?
    I have 18 projects on my hard drive, and I'm concecrned about their compaitibility in the future. Should I leave them as they are, and I'll be able to import them into Final Cut Pro X, or should I first convert them to Final Cut Pro 7 projects?

    You can't open FCE projects in FCPX. If you can open a copy in FCP7 and export an XML file.

  • Can't even open FCE HD now

    Last evening I was checking on my settings in FCE 3.5 to see if that might correct a problem that I was experiencing. The application quit on me and I have not been able to open FCE since that time.
    I decided to re-install from the original disk and did so this morning. FCE still does not open.
    What has happened?
    Thanks;
    Gramp

    There could be a corrupted file somewhere and simply reinstalling over a corrupted program will not help.
    Completely uninstall FCE as detailed in this link and then reinstall it:-

    You probably don't need to do anything with the Soundtrack and LiveType components.

  • Click to open FCE-HD but as opening slate pops up and begins loading it suddenly disappears without loading. Happens whether I click on previous project or the FCE-HD Icon in dock. What's wrong?

    I was just resetting the FCE-HD, but didn't finish when it shut down. I tried to reopen several times using Icon in the Dock, but no luck. The Opening Slate came up as though it was loading, but within 5 seconds it shuts down w/out loading. I then chose to try opening a couple of different stored projects, but get the same results. What happened and how can I access Final Cut Express to complete resetting it and begin a new or open an established project?

    You can try a re-install.
    Use this   http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    to completely remove FCE then try the re-install.
    You do have the DVD and serial number available for  the re-install?
    Sometimes a conflicting program or plug-in for FCE can be the cause.
    Do you have any non Apple apps or plug-ins on your Mac?

  • Open fce 3.5 project in fcp 5.1

    Hi Gang,
    can anyone help me with this simple question... can i cut a project in fce3.5 and then email the project file to my colleague and have them open it up in their fcp 5.1?
    we do this at the moment between fcp5.1 and fcp5.1.4, and it works well.
    what are people's experiences with transferring project files between the two apps?
    many thanks.

    now this: can i import and export edls into fce? does fce have a reconnect media function?
    i'm a fcp user at my work looking to start out small in fce at home - what are the big differences i will notice between the two programmes?
    thanks.

  • When I open an email's attachment from Outlook, the email's attachment is no longer avail to open on my iPad and iPhone

    When opening an email's attachment in Outlook 2007, that email's attachment is no longer available to view on my iPhone and iPad.
    How do I correct this to keep the attachment available on iPad and iPhone, when the email's attachment is initially opened from Microsoft Outlook please??

    If you're talking about an old iCloud ID, you have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.
