Soundtrack Pro Not Booting Up

I have recently bought a macbook pro for my job as i am on the road a bit now, and I installed it using my G5 as a target drive, Every application works perfectly in my final cut suite after the install except Soundtrack Pro, when i click on the icon to start the program it bounces once in the dock then nothing happens. Can someone please let me know if they have had the same trouble after a target drive instalation and if so the cure?.
Thankyou - Gavin

I got on the phone to the apple support line and they put me thru to the final cut pro guys, basiclly after a 45 minute problem solving time and them saying "really the best way with a program of that size is to install it fresh", it came down to uninstalling the whole suite and doing a fresh re-install of it all.
The upside was i regained 2 gig of hard drive space back on my mac book pro and it didn't have to re install the libraries which made the whole process a lot faster.
All in all - a bit of a pain but it all works sweet.
i have answered my own question!!!

  • Mac Pro not booting from CD's using 'C'

    All of a sudden I am unable to boot from a CD. Every disk that I try will not boot. The CD drive will try to read for 5 minutes, then crash with that different language please restart your computer crash screen. I've tried DISKWARRIOR and MacOS X Leopard. They will not boot. I've cleaned the disks and reset the PRAM, but still won't work. All external connections are unplugged.
    3 months ago, it was working perfectly, I even did a clean install of Leopard. The only thing that was changed in my system, was an upgrade to the NVIDIA GeForce 88GT, but why would using a different video card force a crash during a CD boot?
    Otherwise, my MacPro is working perfectly and the disk has no errors. I can read, write, install apps and run movies on the CD ROM drives. but cannot boot

    Recently, I bought diskwarrior but it doesn't boot. I tried the Leopard install to test it out. That doesn't work, then I called Alsof and they said it should boot on my current system.
    DiskWarrior will not boot on a Mac Pro (Early 2008).
    "All Mac models meeting the system requirements for DiskWarrior *except the new Mac Pro and Xserve models introduced on 01/08/2008, the MacBook Air introduced on 01/15/2008, the MacBook/MacBook Pro models introduced on 02/26/2008 and the iMac models introduced on 04/28/2008* can be started from the CD."
    <http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/support.html>
    If you want to use DiskWarrior, you need to put it on another drive or partition containing OSX 10.5.4
    Therefore, all of sudden nothing boots. Like I said, the only change I did was to replace the video card.
    That's why the Leopard DVD won't boot. The Leopard DVD that came with the computer doesn't have drivers for the new graphics card. If you still have the old card, install it, install Leopard, update to 10.5.4, then put in the new graphics card.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro not boot up with the Snow Leopard Disk?

    I have erased the entire hard drive on a 2011 macbook pro that had snow leopard on it. I was corrupted. I not insert my Snow Leopard Disk and the machine will not boot. I chose target mode to erase the hard drive from my mac book pro with Mt. Lion on it.
    Thank uou for any help,
    Ken

    Target mode?  Is there a second computer involved?  Why not insert the Snow Leopard disc in the computer on which you wish to install and hold down the C key to boot from it?
    If the disc came with a different computer it will not boot another model.  Retail discs also may not boot all model computers, even those that came with the same major version.  For example, some MBPs came with 10.6.6 but a retail disc may only be 10.6.3.

  • MacBook Pro not booting up after Software Update ('prohibited' symbol)

    Hi there
    I'm having some issues with my (late 2008) MacBook Pro after installing a recent software update: the machine is not booting up, instead displaying the 'prohibited' symbol on the grey bootup screen, thus:
    !http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/7215/photovl.jpg!
    The back story: this morning I ran Software Update and installed the iWork update, the latest security update and the Snow Leopard Graphics Update. This installation apparently went fine, however on the required reboot the computer displayed the above image, and did nothing.
    I booted from the Snow Leopard install DVD, fixed disk permissions and repaired the disc, which Disk Utility claimed was successful; the computer still would not boot.
    I then rebooted from the Snow Leopard DVD and restored from my most recent Time Machine backup (dated a few days ago, before the software update). This, still, did not do the trick.
    As I have never seen this particular issue before, I'm at a loss as to what to try next, partly as I don't really know what the symbol is signifying. Any assistance that can be offered would be very, very useful.
    Cheers in advance!

    Thanks for that, I did go looking for it but couldn't find it.
    Unfortunately, resetting the PRAM and NVRAM didn't work. Will a reinstallation of OS X make a difference, bearing in mind I've already restored from a Time Machine backup? (I don't know if those clone everything or don't include system files).

  • Mac pro not booting up

    Help my mac pro will not boot up gray screen with apple logo and the loading icon keeps going round and round but nothing else happening. Iam running Lion OS X (10.7) Help please

    hello,
    I've a 2.66 MAC PRO, with Tiger OS (10.4.10). I've same problem denounced by clarky99. Everything started a month ago, after some updates:
    - plug in manager
    - Java
    - utility airport
    - IDVD
    - Airport extreme 2008-002
    - security update 2008-007
    I've tried the following:
    - MAC OS hardware test: no problems
    - fresh installation of the OS on an external HD: no change
    - PRAM reset: no change
    - removal of the physical RAM cards: no change
    The only way to avoid the startup and video problems is starting in SAFE MODE (pressing shift key during the boot).
    This make me think it's an hardware problem, but I'm not shure.
    Next attempts:
    - try another video card
    - (time consuming) disabling all the processes which are not activated in SAFE MODE, but are started in the normal statup procedure, and then by re-enabling one by one
    Any further suggestion is welcome!

  • MacBook Pro not booting - trying to isolate problem

    Hi all,
    So I am having major issues with my mid 2009 MacBook Pro. I will try to be as concise as possible and any, ANY input wil be greatly appreciated.
    Last week I opened my computer from sleep (a USB stick was inserted) - It would not boot up and would reset itself. Every time I tried to start my computer I would see the grey screen, apple logo and spinning symbol below it. It would then soon restart itself.
    I did many different 'resets' (NVRAM, Safe mode, Recovery Mode, Hardware Test). The Hardware test said everything was OK.
    I further located my original OSX install CD and attempted to boot from that. I got past the spinning logo and into the OSX install phase. From here I checked Disc Utility and my internal hard drive was detected, with one partition (for some reason named disk0s2). I could perform a 'verify' on the partition - it told me there was disk errors and it needed to be repaired. On trying to 'repair' the partition/disk, it would freeze halfway through. I attempted this multiple times. If I tried to 'erase' the disk/partition, it wouldnt let me and would fail. If I tried to partition the disk it would fail and say it could not allocate memory (it would continually say 'unmounting disk'. If I attempted to use the boot CD and install a new version of OSX there would be NO target disk available for me to select. It seemed as if it would discover it in disk utility yet not in this function.
    I further removed the internal hard drive from my computer and plugged it into a windows based computer via USB adapter. The drive was detected and I was able to format it in Windows formats.
    I then had no ideas so I took my computer to Apple Genius Bar and they did some minimal tests on it, claiming it was most likely the hard drive failing. They tried to sell me a new drive but I decided to go to a computer store and try a new drive before I bought. I received the same errors with the new SSD drive that I installed at the computer store. This made me think my hard drive was in fact, OK.
    I went home and decided to format my (apparently dead) hard drive on my friends macbook, through USB connection. I partioned the drive with ONE partition (GUID partition) on MacOSx Extended (journaled). It allowed me to do this successfully.
    Now I thought I had it solved. I put the hard drive back in my computer with my OSX boot CD and guess what, It froze on the greay screen with the apple logo after about one minute. This happened multiple times. I then removed the drive and tried to boot again, this time it went through to the OSX install options! Why is it not reading my drive on the format it REQUIRES!? I tried to isolate the problem even further and removed the drive to try connecting it by USB and booting up. This was successful!! It read the drive and allows me to install OSX on it.
    SO - to sum up:
    *My MacBook would boot when the drive when it was formatted as NTFS from a windows format.
    *It wouldnt let me repair, erase or partition the disc, although WAS recognised in disc utility.
    *A new SSD drive installed was recognised in disc utility yet had the same restrictions on partitioning.
    *My hard drive appears to be fine as I plugged it into another mac and successfully partitioned it to MAC OSX extended (journaled).
    *After this it WASNT Recognised at all in my Mac and froze the startup (a completely new problem)
    *My Computer would boot and discover the drive when plugged in via USB.
    I want to know what is going on. Is an internal cable faulty? Is a board faulty? Why would it recognise the drive internally before yet not after it was formatted as MacOsx Extended? The hardwarte tests claim there are no errors.
    PLEASE, I need assistance! Apologies on the long post yet I need to make sure I explain all faults and action taken by me. I thank eveyone in advance and hope someone can help.
    Cheers

    The 2009's are notorious for SATA cable problems, which this very much sounds like. Don't apologize for the lengthy post. You did a nice job in descrbing the problem and in the steps you've taken so far. If the drive works correctly in an enclosure and you're able to format and boot from it, it's almost certain to be the cable.
    You can find both the repair procedure and the part on ifixit.com by identifying your exact machine. I didn't see whether it was a 15" or 13" so I didn't look it up for you. I suggest you shop around once you find the part number, ifixit tends to be a little high.

    I went to the Apple Store and asked about this, and they said I should reinstall Soundtrack Pro. I tried trashing Soundtrack Pro, and popped in the installation disc for Logic Studio 9 (upgrade from Logic Express 9). I tried, but the button for Soundtrack Pro was disabled. The Apple Store told me I should go to Genius Bar and get my iMac fixed, but before I do that, I wanted to ask here. Please Reply!
    P.S. I do have the latest Logic update.

    Soundtrack has crashed for me as well. I went to Digital Rebellion, took out Soundtrack, deleted Soundtrack in trash, reinstalled from originals TWICE and come up empty handed. I have to do a hard shut down of Soundtrack just to get out of the program- that's where you shut the computer down at the CPU.
    It's really looking like Soundtrack is a dead program. It's very depressing to a voiceover with lots of saved tracks that can only be opened in Soundtrack. I use a Mac Pro 8 core (Snow Leopard) and all of my other programs work fine. Anyone know a solution or have a suggestion for a multitrack program that can do what Soundtrack once did for me?
    Hey Studio X. Been a while. It was going well for me but it seems like the end of the road. Any sage advice?

  • Compressor and Soundtrack Pro not installing even if Final Cut isn't there

    Hello,
    I have a problem installing Compressor and Soundtrack Pro that I don't know how to solve.
    The "read me" note of the software says, "Warning: Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5 contain updated components that are incompatible with Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier. If the Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system, it automatically deselects the checkboxes for Soundtrack Pro and Compressor in the Custom Install pane."
    Problem is, I've never had Final Cut Studio installed and the installer still deselects Compressor and Soundtrack Pro, and I cannot find a way to install them.
    I'm using a new MacBook Pro and everything is up to date on it. I haven't installed much of anything else on this machine either.
    Can anyone help?

  • Mid 2009 MacBook Pro not booting

    My MacBook Pro is not booting at all. I try to power it on and I hear the optical drive spin but no chime and the screen remains black.  The battery indicator light on the side works as does the keyboard(caps lock lights up). After about 5 min of nothing it automatically shuts off. I tried resetting the SMC and same issue. I replaced the RAM sticks and still same problem. I then removed both RAM sticks and tried to boot up and got several beeps upon powering up. I am thinking it is the logic board or the GPU after looking around the Internet. For the past few months I've had this problem intermittently. I would power on and I would get the chime but a black screen for a couple minutes before it started to boot correctly but this is the first time I haven't gotten the chime. Would it be a battery problem? Logic board battery? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

    I have just solved this problem, with a fresh head this morning i realised that the external drive was empty and the cloning process didn't complete for some reason?
    Anyhow i ran the clone again and booted externally which worked so then replaced my old hard drive with the new scorpio black and wow what a difference! I had beachballing before as my old drive was critical but now with the with the new speed 7200rpm drive its flying, very happy:-)

  • Late 2011 17 Inch MacBook Pro Not Booting, Three Beeps When I hold "C"

    my late 2011 mbp 17 inch will not boot. In safe mode with verbose it stops at the point looking for my hard drive.  Disk utility in single user mode  said the SSD has "keys out of order" and could not verify disk etc.
    However when I hold "c" aka trying to boot off my optical drive with Snow Leopard in it...it beeps three times, which after searching everyone seems convinced it's memory but I took out my upgraded memory that was in it and put the factory 4gig (2x2gb) sticks back in and it's the same exact thing...three beeps when holding "c". 
    If I hold nothing my computer shows the apple logo, the spining boot up activity icon, AND a progress bar at the bottom that get's about 1/6th of the way doing whatever it's doing and then it instantly shuts down.
    Any other ideas besides the idea that my logic board that is 1 year old randomly stopped working? It's just weird that my 9 month old SSD is not being recognized while at the same time, holding "C" to try and call my optical drive to boot I get three beeps.

    Three beeps means a RAM problem - bad RAM.

    Just to say that usually it helps to include the make/model of RAID controllers, whether it is hardware RAID or not. The Mac Pro Apple RAID card IS a PITA and is particular sometimes about drives and its battery reconditioning as well as mounting drives and time to create a hardware RAID5.
    When a drive causes trouble it is often though not always because of directory being damaged and OS X can't even inspect to see if there is a system or if it can be mounted.
    And because the G5 normally only has two SATA drives, to use three requires a bracket or something else to add drives, like Sonnet G5 Jive. And then a PCI SATA controller with internal ports. But that is just your average SATA controller.
    If it was a Mac Pro the thread could and should have been moved to another forum. And you still refer to this as a Mac Pro, not PowerMac. Which leads me to wonder.
    Molex y-splitters as needed in a G5 but three yrs for a set of drives, I'd say they were due for backup + erase/initialize and restore. Hopefully you kept them in shape with Disk Warrior during that time (don't rely on just Apple First Aid to maintain and repair/rebuild directories).

  • Will a mid 2010 15" macbook pro not boot without the battery in it?

    I have a 15" mid 2010 mabook pro with a swelled battery. I tried booting it without the battery in it and it would not power on. Is this by design or has my macbook been damaged?

    Here are the Apple costs for a replacement battery:
    iFixit sells Apple batteries, but the last time I looked, they were out of stock. 
    Recently on another post, it showed Apple batteries available through Amazon at favorable prices that appeared to be OEM quality.  I suspect that these are gray market batteries but they may very well be satisfactory.  I still say 'Caveat Emptor'.
    If you do choose to go the third party route, you will need a #0 Triwing driver to install the battery.
    Ciao.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro not booting after install of Hyper V - ASUS z87 + intel 4670K

    Hi,
    I am running windows 8.1 pro on a intel 4670K 4th Gen Haswell CPU and ASUS z87 plus motherboard. 16gb of kingston hyperx ddr1600 memory.
    I have enabled virtualisation technology in the bios.  CPU has SLAT.... or Extended Page Table, as intel likes to refer to it.
    When I install HyperV platform and management tools the computer configures and reboots
    AFter reboot it brings up the blue window image and spinning circle of dots for a while then reboots. It does the same thing again and then reboots and goings into repair mode and asks me to do a system restore. It then restores to before they HyperV install.
    I've tried turning off xHCI mode (i.e USB 3.0) in the bios as this seemed to be a known issue with some gigabyte boards. This did not rectify the issue
    Updated to latest asus mainboard bios 1405.  Same issue still occurs upon install of hyper V.
    Automatic repair does not work and I have to restore from system restore point.
    I performed a clean boot after installing the feature and it still couldnt boot to windows.. it just sits at windows logo and then restarts a few times and then launches the startup repair. Once the startup repair begins, the only way I can get into windows
    is restoring to a system restore point from before the hyperv feature install.
    Please see the following logs which may have further information:

    I logged a job with asus support and their response was:
    "Clear CMOS and ensure virtualisation technology is turned on in BIOS. If it still doesn't work, seek assistance from Microsoft"
    Previously asked this question but took a while to get back to update with the logs and it was listed as Answered.
    This issue is still existing and I'd appreciating any assistance.

  • Macbook Pro not Booting Properly 50% of the time.

    I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13.3 Inch that I use for school.  However over the course of the last 6 months it has begun to only boot up fully into OSX Lion about half of the time. The other 50% of the time it "freezes" during boot up and although I can move the mouse around the home screen, I cannot do anythign else besides do a forced shut down and reboot by holding the power button.   Everything LOOKS like it loads except my IDISK icon, If the IDISK does not show up, then I know the computer did not fully boot, Howver If i can see my IDISK on my desktop, the computer is fully booted and works fine.  Ive looked online for others having this same problem, and I have done a full wipe and reinstall from my time capsule with no luck, same problem.   I have not found any threads like this and the guys at the Genius Bar had no idea how to correct it, any ideas?
    Do I need to completely wipe the drive and partition and start with a fresh copy of LION that is NOT from my time capsule?   If I do that can I retrieve certain things off of time capsule?
    Any ideas would be helpful, the computer runs perfectly except for only booting 50% of the time.
    Thanks

  • Macbook Pro not booting after update. ''Disk Utility can't repair disk''. Help needed!

    I have recently updated my macbook pro as I had some pending software updates. I left it to do the job over night and the next day I noticed it was not letting me sign in to my account session as usual.
    I restarted the computer and ever since then when I boot it, it just shows the apple grey screen with a bar that loads to about a 3rd and then it turns off again. I have contacted apple but they were unable to help me with this.
    So far I have tried to:
    1. Re-install OS X 10.8 - but it says the disk is locked or OS X cannot be installed on Recovery HD.
    2. Verify and Repair the disk and I errors but it cannot fix them. Some are:
                   'invalid leaf count''
                   ''missing thread record''
                   ''incorrect number of file hard links''
                   ''overlapped extent allocation''
              and it finally says ''the volume Macintosh HD cannot be repaired'' Error: ''Disk Utility can't repair this disk.. disk, and restore your backed up files.
    I would like to know a way to back up my files so that i can completely restore the disk without any data loss as I havent backed up for a while!
    If anyone has any solution to this issue it would be much appreciated!

    I just ran the Disk Utility, and cannot very disk. It gives me an error message;
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    and when I run the repair, this is the message:
    The volume GERRARD could not be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
    Repair attempted on 1 volume
    1 volume could not be repaired
    Prior to running Disk Utility, I have already tried DiskWarrior, and could not repair my disk. Anyway I can fix this problem??? Formatting the disk would be my last option (though I am unsure if it will fix the problem). Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I will continue to back up my file, and delete unused data and try to run it again.
    Thank you all very much for any input.
    Cheers,
    Matt
