Reinstalling FCE problem

After finishing my first project I cleaned some final cut files off my disk only to discover the final cut application would no longer work, Then following Apples support advice I picked away at the files to uninstall and start over. Now I find when I put in the install disk it won't mount. Please help - thanks.

By the way it was the info at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
that I used to uninstall.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I think it must be gremlins

  • FCE problem with Snow Leopard

    I upgraded when it came out and have been have trouble ever since. I did not do the clean install, which would more than likely fix the problem but I don't want to resort to that just yet because I've got a few programs which I don't have the install disks anymore, and I've also got a big project in the works (feature film) and I don't want to risk losing anything... I know, I shouldn't have even upgraded in the middle of such a big project.
    The problem is that FCE freezes up ALOT. It makes it very difficult to get a decent editing session going. It does the thing where the audio keeps going but the video freezes, and I can't stop it til it stops on its own. When I try to stop it I just get the color wheel. Sometimes it helps to restart FCE, or restart the computer but sometimes it doesn't.
    I reinstalled Snow Leopard 3 days ago and it first it seemed to take care of the problem but now its at it again. I've got a brother with an identical computer (editing the same feature with me) who also upgraded from the same disc (family package) and he hasn't had a single problem.
    I've talked to Apple and they recommend reinstalling FCE, then doing the clean install as a last resort. Is there anything else I can try first before going to the extreme measures? Maybe adjust my render or playback settings?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Reinstalling FCE is a simple way to solve a such problem, but trashing preferences files worth a try:

    *You have to keep your project file, capture scratch, render folder* etc.
    Look at this link about FCE uninstall:

    Ignore files for Soundtrack and livetype.

  • I have lost Boinx in Video Generator, Fotomagico is installed but can't access the plug-in, any ideas?  Have reinstalled FCE to no avail.

    I have lost Boinx in Video Generator plug in Effects, Fotomagico is installed but can't access the plug-in, any ideas?  Have reinstalled FCE to no avail. I don't understand as was working fine then just gone. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I think the suggestion by JimHdk is fair simple. Most Internet services providing email offer a way to access email via a browser like Safari instead of using the Mail app. You start Safari, got to the webmail webpage, enter a user name and password and are provided with a list of waiting emails. You can read emails, reply to emails, delete emails and create new emails on those sites. This is a very common way for people who travel a lot and who encounter your problem, to access their emails.
    If you don't know the website for your webmail contact your provider.

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Thank you for having responded to me!
    Unfortunately I did already the case "delete preferences" but nothing!
    Also, when crashes do not give me any reports!
    Started in safe mode, with another administrator, the problem becomes even: your video card is not compatible with Quartz Extreme!
    My card is a g-force framework 4000 FOR MAC!!
    STRANGE TRUE!
    If you know something more to this riquardo please answer!

  • After compleate computer reinstall FCE not acepting my serial number

    I was one of the unlucky Snow Leopard casualties, after having far to many problems with Logic and FCE i made a complete reinstall from the Imac start up DVDs so i could begin again from new back to Leopard.
    I started to put back all my apps again and make the updates etc.
    When i got to installing FCE and inputting the serial number it told me every-time that it was invalid. I know i have been putting the numbers and letters in correctly every time but i still get the message when i enter them.

    Hi
    Can it be so that You've got previous version of FCE and just added an update.
    Then You need to enter the Serial no. of the first full pay version and not just
    the no. for the update.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Getting Started with FCE - Problems with my imported files

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get started with Final Cut Express, but I'm experiencing lots of problems when I import my project from iMovie.
    My project contains video, which I imported into iMovie at 960 x 540. It also contains some keynote animations, which I exported from Keynote as quicktime files.
    When I export my files to FCE, I instantly get problems.
    1) When I add the imported file to the sequence, I get an "Attention the clip does not match the sequence's setting or any of your sequence settings" error.
    2) Whether I choose to translate my settings or not, I try to play the video in the timeline, but there is a continuous beeping sound, no audio from my video and when it hits the keynote animations, it just says "unrendered" or "media offline".
    Please can you offer any advice on how I can get started with FCE more successfully.
    Thanks!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    (please specify iMovie and FCE version)
    Well, your sequence settings in FCE should be DV-PAL 48 Khz.
    Create a new sequence.
    From iMovie and Keynote, export your movie with quicktime conversion andd select DV-PAL 48 kHz (*And Not* DV Stream...). This material should play without rendering because his format and codec match the sequence's codec.
    Import your files and everything should be OK.
    Michel Boissonneault
    The audio should be AIFF 48 kHz 16 bit linear PCM

  • Reinstalling iTunes, problem with duplicates

    I have an iMac 2GHZ running OS X v10.5.7 which is having multiple longstanding problems with freezing/errors and no significant problems show up after running disc utilities (repairing permissions etc..) or Tech Tool. Also my itunes music folder is full of duplicates that don't show up on my i tunes duplicate or "Dupin" duplicates list. iTunes library shows 43 GB space used and iTunes Music folder shows 95 GB space used.
    I would like to start from scratch, reformat my hard drive and reinstall iTunes to see if it solves most of the problems. I am using Time Machine for backup but also can make a bootable clone with Super Duper. I wonder if it would be better to restore my iTunes from an iPod since none of the duplicates exist there.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • Older itune version 10.6 trying to reinstall, library problem?

    I reinstalled older itune version 10.6 on Win7 after I reformatted the drive.
    1. Now i have a  library problem? the itunes will not open and i get a message "itunes library.itl" is from newer pgm. how can i work around it?
    2. i want to restore my itunes music library like it was before with the old libray i had from my backup, how can i do that?

    your serial number is for an upgrade version.  you need to prove you have a qualifying upgrade product.
    after you enter your upgrade serial number and the installer failing to find a previous version, you should be given the option to choose the previous version and enter its (the older version's) serial number.
    if that's not working, what version are you trying to install and why didn't the above work?

  • E71 Firmware Reinstall - BIG Problem

    I have been having some 'memory leak' problems with my Nokia e71 recently so took the opportunity just now to attempt to reinstall the firmware via the Nokia Software Updater programme on my PC.
    It got so far (presumably to the point where it had deleted the previous version and was about to start installing the new copy) when the computer flashed up a message saying that the USB connection had been lost and that I should turn off and then on the phone again and then reconnect the USB cable to finish the job.
    Problem is, the phone is in a blank screen state due to being halfway through the reinstall and no amount of pressing any button turns it off, on, into any kind of useable mode and that means at the moment that I am a) without a phone, b) uncontactable and c) hugely annoyed.
    Putting the USB into my other computer (or indeed, restarting the initial one) doesn't do anything because with the phone to all intents and purposes 'off', neither PC detects any hardware being connected.
    Any ideas gratefully receieved!
    Thanks

  • Reinstall CS3 problems

    I inactivated my CS3 in order to reinstall it after changing my harddisk.
    I have done it without problems before, but this time it's impossible.
    I run Win7
    In the end o the installation prcess i'll get a message that i must load the installationCD för Win Vista to get ADOBEpdf.dll.
    This has never happened before och I don't have a Vista CD.
    I can't find any place do get in direct contact with the Adobe help desk!!
    Please answer

    In any case, I think that CS3 comes with Acrobat 7. AA 7 will only work in Win 7 with some workarounds. In addition, you will need to install a download version of AA7 and CS from Adobe since the license server for that old version has been deactivated and you have to use a new process.

  • Reinstall OSX Problem

    My daughter has an Intel iMac early 2006. Upgraded to Leopard early 2008. While doing a routine update, power was cut. On rebooting, computer never got past screen with spinning ball. Using grey install disks, my daughter used disk utility to check disk. No problem, but computer refused to reboot. Finally, she reinstalled OSX Tiger using grey install disks but discovered that all of her data, folders, and programs had gone (e.g. no Final Cut, etc). She has some folders backed up on an external drive but not all.
    Question: Are the data/programs that she had before now irretrievable? Will she need to reinstall all the additional software (FC, Office for MAC, etc) or is it still there and she can't see it? Will Disk Warrior be able to retrieve the lost data?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Disk Warrior typically only repairs the directory.
    To recover lost data you need Prosoft Data Rescue, or Subrosasoft Filesalvage and a Firewire external hard drive at least as large as your internal drive.
    Check for content inside any Previous System folder. It may be stuck in there. Applications you can't find should be installable from their original system discs. If those discs are lost, contact the vendor who created those applications for replacement discs. Those discs may cost money, but typically less than full retail.
