Restoring window layout hanging.
deleted layout folder.
checked appnap.
fcp launched in the background but useless.
Lot's of work to do took me an hour to get this far.
Anyone had the same issue?
Most times trashing the Layouts folder fixes this problem.
Also, repair permissions in Disk Utility and trash preferences with Preference Manager.
If that doesn't do the job, see if it will launch from a new user. If it does not, I'd say it's time to reinstall.

"Restoring the window layout" hang - tried everything! HELP!
I'm in Mavericks and am experiencing that "Restoring the Window Layout" hang that is kinda infamous around these parts.
Except that in my case, I've done EVERYTHING that all the other links suggest. I have:
*Trashed the Layouts folder (inside Users/myusername/Library/App Support/Final Cut Pro)
*Trashed prefs (inside Users/myusername/Library/Preferences)
*Followed the instructions to remove FCPX entirely (as found here: Final Cut Pro X 10.1: How to remove and reinstall Final Cut Pro X) *and* repeated the removal of Layouts and prefs as stated above.
And the problem still persists.
I am [attempting to run] the latest version (10.1.2). Purchased through the App Store so it is verified as the latest.
I can in no way get FCPX to launch properly. Every time I try, it hangs during the launch on the "Restoring the Window Layout" launch screen. I do see my last-used project partially drawn behind it, but the window is all funky (things are in weird places).
Please help...kinda desperate here...Thank you so much.
I am certain I had trashed all the prefs mentioned in the other threads (there were about 3, in the Users/Prefs folder), but I tried your key command, got the prompt to completely trash all prefs, and it did indeed cure the issue. Thanks a ton! -
My FCP 10.1 is freezing at "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in library/applications support/ final cut pro... What do I do ???
Had the same issues. For me, I found unmounting any external drives and relaunching FCPX worked.
Mavericks seems to have some issues with launching Final Cut, so its best to launch and then plug in any external drives - hope that helps.

Final cut pro stalls on restoring window layout
Hey all
Having installed Yosemite my Final Cut Pro will not open. It stalls during the boot up phase saying "restoring window layout".
I have tried removing the Layouts folder from the Library as detailed here Final Cut Pro X: May stop responding at "Restoring the window layout" or open to a gray window but it does not work.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks
SamHey Luis,
Option 1 solved the problem.
Thanks for your help.

Final Cut Pro X hangs while restoring window layout
The software stops responding during startup when it begins to restore the window layout. I have already deleted the layout folder in the Library without any benefit.
I would appreciate any thoughts on how to resolve this issue.
Is it possible that the problem may result from having both Final Cut Trial and Final Cut Pro as Applications?
Thanks in advance for any help!
JoeIs the iMovie project in the Final Cut Projects folder? If it is, remove it from there before launching the application.

FCP X Locks up "restoring windows layout"
I've only had this lovely package for 6 days and now it locks up "retoring windows layout" , yes indeed, it is looking more like Windows,can't wait for it to show up on my credit card in a couple of weeks.
Just delete the Layouts folder and also this file
com.apple.FinalCut.plist
it is located here Computer/HD/Users/User_name/Library/Preferences
My problem started after installing new AU audio plugins. The problem this is a temporary fix as will you need to repeat this procedure everytime you start FCP until you find the source of the problem and deal with it. Let me know. -
Hey guys so I'm a new Premiere pro user and I was playing around with it when all my panels got screwed up. Does anyone know how I can restore or reset the whole panel layout??? Thanks.
Under the ' window' menu should be a reset workspace option. I'm not sure exactly what it is called.

FCP X freezes "Restoring the window layout"
Hello everybody,
I downloaded Final Cut Pro X, and at startup, the software freezes, showing "Restoring the window layout". I tried all the solutions indicated on the web, nothing works... (deleting preferences, deleting layout, using PreferecencesManger...)
Please help!
My computer is a Macbook Pro 15'' Mac Os 10.6.8
Thank you
RaphWell, this is one of those situationewhere deleting the preference file would actually be useful, because that is one of the things stored there - but you alreday did that...
Are you still on 10.6? Your profile says so.. although it has to be 10.6.8 then.. as FCPX does not run on previous versions.
Do you by any chance have a Window Manager or extension installed?? -
Removed layouts folder but still "Restoring the window layout"
MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM
All my Final Cut Pro X files are save on my external hard drive. When I open FCP with my hard drive plugged in, FCP says "Restoring the window layout" and a grey background appears. If I open FCP without my harddrive and then plug my harddrive in once FCP has loaded,FCP works. Please Help!
The problem seemed to be solved by putting the layouts folder on the desktop
But I just loaded up FCP and its the same stupid problem all over again.The extrernal drive doesn't have FCP installed on it. It only has the FCP projects and events.
It isn't the drive I use for time machine
WD my password connected with USB

I have constant freezing when opeing up Final Cut Pro X (10.1) - the message given by the welcome-screen is "Restoring the window layout".
I know this is an "old" problem and I've had it with earlier versions of FCPX as well - but now with 10.1 the problem is constant in the way that it happends almost with every start. The workaround I've found (deleting Library/Application Support/Final Cut/Layouts AND Library/Preferences/com.apple.finalcut.plist, AND then reboot the computer) work fine every time. But - of course this is not ideal in any way.
Is there any one out there who have found a cause to this behavior?!

SwedenWhat the heck are you guys talking about?!
This issue is coming up again; the issue was previously resolved with 10.0.3.
Followed all steps in KB, followed tips found on reputable FCPX sites, no luck.
We are opening a ticket with Apple, hopefully they'll give us a fix, or they'll acknowledge the regression and will issue a patch ASAP.

FCP says "Restoring the window layout"

Have you got loads of projects on your external HDD?
If so it will usually take a long time to launch FCP X.
You need to hide those you are not using with this excellent free app which used to cost $5 and was a bargain at that price.

If you are using the latest FCP X 10.1 you need to close any unnecessary Libraries. -
FCP stalls at Restoring the Window layout
Hey all,
FCP doesn't seem to want to open and stalls constantly on "Restoring the Window Layout"
I've tried Final Cut Pro X: May stop responding at "Restoring the window layout" or open to a gray window - Apple Support but that doesn't help at all.
I've tried reinstalling the whole programme. That doesn't help at all.
in my Force Quit Applications box I'm getting a notification that com.apple.audio.InfoHelper is not responding
Anyone got any ideas? Or do I just put this down to Apple's new definition of what a "professional" application is?
Thanks
SamOK
Trashed ~/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro/Layouts - quit, restarted, no change
Trashed ~/Library/Preferences/ anything with com.apple.finalcut in the title - restarted and it now works.
Hoping it lasts longer than the first time it "worked"
Thanks for the help
