Programme closes down all of a sudden

hi
since i work on FCP HD it often occurs that the programme closes down all of a sudden. (this never happend when i was working with FCP 3)
What can be the reason for this?
g4 533mhz dual   Mac OS X (10.3.5)  

MAny many things can cause this. Most likey are damaged preferences, so it would be wise to download FCP rescue and run it...it does it automatically for you.
And while you are at it, run the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions. Always wise to do when stuff like this happens.

  • Apple Script to close down all volumes on TrueCrypt.

    I like to create script that will close down all mounted volumes in TC.
    Does anybody know how to script the programme (preferably in Apple Script, but Automator would be OK to) in such a way as to be able to have the script do a ‘Dismount All’?
    I would than link this to the ttys file as a LogoutHook, thus making sure all mounted volumes are dismounted before a shut down happens, this to prevent damaging open files on a volume as this could happen if shut down is forced.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    TrueCrypt probably doesn't know about disks/volumes, but the system does. Eject is a different command than unmount, so I am guessing that there is something else going on in there. The following script gets the local volumes and uses diskutil to unmount the specified volume(s):
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;

    width: 720px; height: 340px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFDDFF;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    -- unmount local disk volumes
    set Unmounted to "" -- this will be a text list of volumes successfully unmounted
    tell application "Finder" to set LocalNames to (name of disks whose local volume is true)
    set TheVolumes to (choose from list LocalNames with prompt "Choose volumes to unmount:" with multiple selections allowed)
    if result is not false then repeat with SomeName in TheVolumes
    -- get the disk identifier for the specified volume
    get paragraphs of (do shell script "diskutil list " & quoted form of ("/Volumes/" & SomeName))
    set TheDiskID to the last word of (Test for SomeName out of result)
    -- unmount (the disk ID is used in case there are multiple volumes on a disk)
    if TheDiskID is not "" then try
    do shell script "diskutil unmount " & TheDiskID
    set Unmounted to Unmounted & SomeName & return
    on error errmess
    log errmess
    end try
    end repeat
    if Unmounted is "" then set Unmounted to "none"
    display alert "Volumes unmounted:" message Unmounted

    tests if  SomeText is in an item of SomeList
    parameters - SomeText [text]: the text to test for
    SomeList [list]: a list of text items to test

    set SomeText to SomeText as text

  • Itunes library will not close down all the way

    My iTunes library will not close down all the way.  When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.

    You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
    Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
    Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.

  • Qosmio X870 shut down all of a sudden

    My Qosmio X870 shut itself down all of a sudden and wouldnt turn on or charge for about an hour, what does this mean?

    I think it was a high temperature issue.
    Mostly the notebooks shut down automatically to prevent the hardware from damage.
    If the cooling grilles are full of dust or debris, its advisable to remove this using compressed air spray.

  • The Firefox icon often disappears from the toolbar when I go to another window like Outlook or Media Player. When I close down all other windows it reappears again. What can I do about that?

    When it has disappeared I can open Firefox again using the menu or the opening icon on the toolbar, but then it only shows up blank, so without the tabs that were opened before. Closing down all other icons on the toolbar is the only way to make the Firefox icon reappear and for me to open Firefox again with all my tabs.
    Please excuse my English, the jargon is difficult.

    Thanks for your reply, cor-el.
    The odd thing is, this problem hasn't occurred again since I posted it. What kind of magic is that? :-))
    It really is odd, since I had it at least twice a week for several months.
    So far, so good, then.
    I'll wait a while more, and will then close it as being solved. I guess that's the procedure.
    We'll put it down to temporary bugs or pc mysteries.
    Though I like the magic option more...

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    '''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    '''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Major Aperture slow-down all of a sudden

    All of a sudden, I'm having performance problems with Aperture. I'm running a Dual-core 2.3GHz G5 with 4.5GB of RAM and a GeForce 7800GT, so this shouldn't be a hardware problem. It seems to be a problem when it's trying to display a lot of images. It will slow down immensely, even to the point where I cannot scroll. The really weird part is when the toolbar item images disappear. Anyone have any idea why this would happen? Thanks

    Had the same problem today. It started out fast then after several hours of work it slowly started to get slower and slower until it finally just stopped responding. Restart got it going again but it was still pretty slow. Almost like it was building a cache or scratch file that kept getting larger and slowing the program down.
    That was on the DP 2.0 G5 not the Quad

  • Firefox wont close down all the way

    some reason when i go to close down firefox then try to bring in back an hour later keep getting the message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" and keep wondering why this is happening tryed puting the profile to read only it helped for a week then it started back up aside from that not sure why its happening usin firefox 30.0

    This was an issue with v29 that v30 was suppost to fix.
    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
    issue may be caused by the clear history settings.
    Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Privacy'''.
    The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
    At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
    '''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

  • Firefox won't close down all the way after watching a video. I exit out, and the sound continues. When I try to re-open firefox, I get a message about how I have to restart my computer. How do I fix this?

    Basically whenever I watch a video and I exit out of the video I have to restart my computer to get Firefox back open. If I exit out or go to a new page while the video is playing, the audio continues like nothing has happened. I've checked my task manager and it shows that Firefox is closed. When I try to re-open Firefox I get an error message that tells me Firefox is running but is unresponsive and I have to restart my computer. How do I get it to stop doing this?

    Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

  • Why am I unable to close tabs all of a sudden?

    I had a lot of trouble installing the latest Firefox update. It finally worked after 7 or 8 attempts. Now I can open new tabs but clicking "close" or right clicking and selecting "close tab" no longer works.

    I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but it seems related to a Website's code. After login out of the system, the tab is no longer available or accessible. It doesn't show the page. I can only click on the tab itself (trying to close it through the menu or the X icon), but the page does not appear. Not even with the Group Tabs add-on the tab is visible. It just skips it as if it did not exist. I'm using FF 4b portable.

    Hey,
    My MacBook Pro recently has been shutting down for no apparent reason... This is really annoying as you can probably guess!!! Especially when you are a student writing a 4000 Word Essay!!!!
    Apparently you can use activity monitor to see why it has shut down, and can you recommend something i can do to stop it shutting down
    Thanks :]

    Mmm,
    The Globe is usually associated with trying to do a "Network Boot"!
    This may suggest that there may be a problem with your hard drive. Try running Disk Utility to check the drive and see whether , when the Hard Drive itself is selected, S.M.A.R.T. Status is shown as "verified".

  • Dear sir/ Madame sometimes firefox / explorer is locked, and the only way to tackle is to close down all explorer applications, what should I do? thank you very much

    for instance there is a web site so called fizy. I think it may be a reason for this.

    You say that 'sometimes' it gets locked ... it is quite probable that due to some reason/recent activity that you perform on your machine the memory consumptions increases a lot because of which the windows freeze.
    When it happens next time, try to open 'Task Manager' and check for 'memory consumption' also as to which process is eating max memory (then you can delete that particular process only and see whether it solves the issue)
    try this and let us know whether it helps or not
