Update to 6.0.6 broke my capture

I am trying to capture some video I shot a while back after updating my FCP today. Any ideas?
In the middle of capturing FCP just shuts down and I'm screwed.

Couldn't be the update. All the update did was add two .txt files to the application so that FCP would recognize the system profile of the newer MacPro and XServe machines. Before that FCP was profiling them as iMacs! So I doubt that adding two text files caused you to not be able to capture.
Trash your preferences...that fixes tons.
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

  • Install Updates task not working during Build and Capture in SCCM 2012

    Working with a new SCCM 2012 installation.
    We are trying to get a Build and Capture TS to install all updates for Win7SP1.
    All packages are deployed to DP, build and cap machine is in a collection with all updates deployed to it. Agent installation parameters include "SMSMP" "SMSSLP" parameters. Machine is not being attached to the domain during OS install. 
    Updates can be pushed to existing domain machines, so obviously the updates themselves are working.
    The task sequence works correctly to install the image, but "Install Updates" task just sits there and eventually times out. (No indication of updates being installed.) If this task is working, shouldn't I see a Downloading Updates progress bar, or was that
    eliminated from 2012?

    Same issue for me except I'm running 2012 R2 my B&C runs forever on Install Software Updates, eventually just rebooting and coming back to the login screen of Windows 7 without ever finishing the Install Updates.
    Been working on it litteraly for weeks.
    1- Tried adding .Net 4.52 as an application installation thinking maybe it would resolve the issue
    2- Tried installing via Run Command Line + DISM all hotfixes that require 2 reboots as per (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2894518)
    3- Tried to simply REMOVE the same hotfixes from my Software Update Groups alltogether.
    4- Injected all applicable software updates through Offline Servicing in the SCCM Console (Schedule Updates) on the Windows 7 DVD wim file. That way my logic was that once it would hit the Software Updates, there would be a lot less to install.
    I'm at the point where I had to open a case with Microsoft Premier Support as of yesterday. So, nothing new to report yet. But yes, this is a true pain in the ***.
    For the sake of comparison, I am running 4 Update Groups: one containing patches up to 2012. Another one for 2013, 2014 and 2015. I have patches for Windows 7 + Office of all categories except Service Packs.
    If someone has any ideas, feel free to chime in. 

  • Updated : No question, just example web cam capture code

    Hi,
    I posted this example a while back, but it had some cosmetic bugs in it.
    Here's an updated version.
    Quick Start
    1. Install JMF 2.1.1e (performance pack version)
    ( see imports list in source code if you really want to run it using the older version 2.1.1c )
    2. You have to set the JMF_HOME or JMFHOME environment variable. Can't remember which one.
    "Nearly sure" it's JMF_HOME.
    3. Connect your camera
    4. run jmfinit ( may need to do a few times until it detects your camera )
    When it does, you're in business, and you can try to run the code
    5. Run java -cp .;%JMF_HOME%\lib\jmf.jar JWebCam
    known issue
    Under Java 1.5 / 5 - When capturing a frame, and then resizing that snapshots JFrame, the image did not always scale up and display.
    That does work under Java 1.3.1_06 .
    Tested on Win98 2nd edition, Java 1.3.1_06, and Creative Web Cam Pro.
    Legal stuff in plain english : This code is available for use by everyone, personal or commercial, no need to mention me in licenses or anything. It's just a demo I knocked up for myself. So I am under no obligation to support this. Use it at your own risk.... that implies you can't blame or sue me for anything that goes wrong.
    If you like the code, I'd be happy to hear whereabouts you are in the world :-)
    Also note : this is the limits of my JMF experience at present.
    If you've a separate question, post it to a new topic!
    regards,
    Owen ( Dublin, Ireland )

    Hi,
    Here's a working version.
    If there are no spaces after the "<" symbol, it thinks it's a HTML tag.
    Putting spaces in, stops this.
    cheers,
    Owen

  • Updating the camera's clock with "Image Capture" not working

    In Mac OS X 10.4 I used the application "Image Capture" to synchronise the camera’s clock with the clock of my Mac.
    Since updating to Mac OS X 10.5 this feature isn’t working anymore. I still get the option in the options panel for the camera, but the time isn’t updated.
    The camera is correctly set up, as it still works with my Mac OS X 10.4 iBook.
    Is this a problem with my Mac or is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.5?
    Is there a way to fix this problem?

    What camera? I have had the same problem with a Nikon D70. Nikon Transfer has the same feature, and I can't get it to work on Leopard either.

  • Updating to 10.6.8 broke my installer

    When I attempted to update my little pile of Macs to OS X 10.6.8, one of them, my Macbook (Early 2009), for unknown reasons came up not installing, after a lot of time on the phone trying everything else, finally had to reinstall OS 10.6(.0) and re-upgrade. The opinion of Apple Support was that the installer broke during the upgrade(?). No third party apps were damaged and hardware was OK. The Macbook Pro, MacPro and MacMini all updated fine.
    It's probably past time to say goodbye to SL...

    You're right...
    Apple really screwed up the sound, even when using their own application... i tried DVD player.app, and it plays 2.0 AC3 and 5.1 AC3 fine.. but after stop playing DVD, stereo digital output is dead..

  • On-Line Update in Table TEVEN from Single time capturing Device

    Hi Gurus,
    We are trying to capture Time Events captured in Employee Card Swapping System (PDC) in TEVEN.
    Issue is We have only one device.
    How to determine P10 or P20 against each Time events and transfer them to TEVEN.
    We expect online update in TEVEN.
    Can somebody throw some light.
    Regards.
    Tapas

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/index.php?mforum=iworktipsntrick
    Is a good resource.

  • Install Software Updates in a WIndows 7 build and capture shooses wrong SUP

    Hi,
    My environment is the following.
    One SCCM 2012 R2 Primary site server in a trusted domain, MP, DP and SUP. This site is reachable from the clients on the internal  network.
    One SCCM 2012 R2 server in an untrusted forest, MP, DP and SUP. This server is NOT reachable from clients on the internal nrowotk.
    I am doing a build and capture of Windows 7 using a SCCM TS on a VM on the internal network.
    When the Install Updates task Is running the SCCM client is trying to use the SUP in the untrusted forest instead of the one in the local trusted forest.
    How do I force the SCCM client to use the local SUP instead of the one in the untrusted forest.
    According to
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/03/27/software-update-points-in-cm2012sp1.aspx it should prioritize the one in the local forest, but the build and capture PC is not member of the AD so it looks like it just uses the SUP that is
    first in the list from the MP.
    The blog also states that the SUP will not be shifted to the next one in the list before 4 failed scans at 30 minutes intervals so it will take more than 4 hours before the SCCM client will try the next SUP. At that time the TS has long finished the
    Software Update task.
    I thought about creating an entry in the hosts file on the capture PC with the name of the untrusted SUP and the IP of the trusted SUP to redirect the client to use the trusted SUP. I solution that might work but that I find very ugly.
    What can I do to force the SCCM client on the build and capture PC to us the internal trusted SUP?
    Thomas Forsmark Soerensen

    The SUP info cannot be got from the Internal MP. Please review the Smsts.log file.

  • Getting Updated image through Config manager Build and capture process

    Hi guys,
    Looking for some pointers on getting the almost fully patched image out of configuration manager build and capture process.
    I need below pointers:
     - What and where to advertise\deploy software packages target? since its a new deployment, I believe it should be targeted to all unknown computers.
    - How many times should I call 'install update' step in TS and where?
    - What is the best way to patch image (if something is missed out during image capture) offline (since its config manager 2012 R2). when I pull schedule update list for offline schedule, does that only pull updates that are required for that image or it
    pulls everything available as updates?
    - I have done offline patch of image but still once the image is deployed it pulls office updates. Looks like , offline service just injects OS patches..right?
    Regards,
    Regards,

    - Where? That depends upon what you what. But, going by the letter of what you asked, you shouldn't deploy any applications or packages if you want them on your newly images systems, you should make them a part of the TS using Install Software and Install
    Application tasks.
    - How many times? You should only need one although depending upon what you are deploying and if you are using offline updates, some folks add more. I typically use two one right after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task (just like the task sequence wizard
    builds for you) to update the OS and "things" in the image and one at the end to catch additional updates for apps and components added during the TS. Note that you also have to initiate an update scan cycle for additional install update tasks to work. Do
    this by adding a run-command line task before the second Install Updates task with the proper WMIC incantation.
    - Offline Updates only injects CBS updates into the image which are typically just core OS updates. You should also update your image though to include non-CBS updates. Using a build and catpure task sequence makes this easy.

  • Updated to 3.6.4 - broke my Firefox?!?

    3.6.4 update broke my Firefox?!? Firefox won't load a single page but Chrome and IE are fine.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; MS-RTC LM 8)

    Which Firefox version did you have before the update?
    You can only have permanent tabs if they are locked by an extension. So if it isn't working then you need to see if there is an update of that extension that works with Firefox 3.6

  • [FIXED] boost-libs update (1.53.0-1) broke deluge

    now deluge bails out with:
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    Edit: I think the version of boost-libs that broke deluge is 1.52.0-2.
    BTW: Why do i see a 1.53.0-1 version for boost-libs on the front page of arch linux (recent updates) when pacman -Syyu gives me version 1.52.0-2 ? Thx.

    Also broke for me. Downgrading to 1.52.0-1 fixed it. Here are the relevant daemon.log lines:

  • HT204291 apple tv update and iPad update to iOS 8.2 broke airplay

    First I updated my iPad (2) to iOS 8.2. When I noticed that movies did NOT play from iBooks.
    I checked for an Apple TV update. There is one today, so I did that. Now there is NO AIRPLAY option on the iPad!
    Am I missing some new setting or did Apple break AirPlay?

    between restarting my ipad and restarting my apple tv, it's working again.  However, movies in iBooks are still broken!

  • Todays update to 7.1.0 broke "Display PDF in browser"

    I do ***NOT*** want PDFs displayed in my browser.
    I ***DO*** want PDFs displayed in a separate Acrobat window.
    Version 7.0.9 was working this way until the update to 7.1.0 went in today.
    Now, regardless of the of the setting of the Edit --> Preferences --> Internet --> Web Browser Options --> "Display PDF in browser" checkbox, all PDFs ARE being displayed in the browser window.
    How do I disable this behavior or uninstall this last update?

    I have managed to fix my problem with PDFs only opening in the browser. I went to MSIE(v7) Menu --> Tools --> Manage Add-Ons --> Enable or Disable Add-Ons... --> Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer --> [find/highlight the line with file = AcroIEHelper.dll] --> Disable --> OK --> Restart the browser (and maybe the PC).
    As for 7.1.0 not being a real update, that is wrong. It is real.
    Read about it here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-13.html
    It says:
    "Adobe recommends users of Acrobat 8 and Adobe Reader install the 8.1.2 update and users of Acrobat 7 install the 7.1.0 update to protect themselves from potential vulnerabilities. This is an update to resolve the issues previously reported in Security Advisory APSA08-01."

  • Update to 10.6.3 broke Quicktime Pro 7.6.6

    After the update Quicktime Pro crashes as fast as it opens, do not understand, help? It does the same on my older iMac and newer Mac Pro. Used the Combo updater, fixed all permissions after the update. My Quicktime pro came with the Final Cut Suite.

    Thanks, I tried your suggestion and it still crashes. (you did mean user preferences? because that's the only ones I could find to trash.) There does seem to be a lot more files in preferences. I am at a loss still as to what is causing this. Installed 10.6.3 on 2 macs and both have the same problem, I find it hard to believe I'm the only one with this problem, but I guess that's the way it goes. I used the combo updater.
    I use Soundtrack Pro version 1.1 almost everyday, this will make it almost useless. Anyway, thanks for trying Carolyn.

  • Update to 10.5.7 broke my speakers

    Ran the update this morning and now I can't hear sound out of my speakers. I've check all the usual places and they should be working, but whenever i push the volume up button on my PPC G4 laptop, i get a circle with a slash through it.
    anybody?

    Don't know how it happened, but after a couple of reboots, the situation corrected itself. I love it when that happens, but I hate it at the same time.

  • Update to 10.5.7 broke AirPort?

    I have never experienced this before updating to 10.5.7. Now when I'm connected to my wireless network with my Macbook, and as soon as I turn my iPhone on, and it connects to the same network, the Macbook looses connection immediately.
    Well, the wireless is still connected, you can browse other network resources, it just looses connection to the internet. Absolutely weird.

    I also have this issue, but like the other responder I haven't noticed any correlation to other devices connecting to the network (though that might be the case, since I don't know how many people share this network).
    I have great signal strength, and when it's working, I get very high network speeds. However, suddenly my traffic will stop, yet my network remains connected with full signal strength.
    I can fix it instantly by just clicking the airport menu, and as soon as it rescans for networks, my traffic starts again. I can also get it running again by typing this in Terminal:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort -s
    But it's still very annoying because it's completely unpredictable, and sometimes will happen over and over every couple of minutes, interrupting file transfers and making me miss chat messages.
    I reset PRAM and deleted preferences, and it seemed to improve slightly, but is still a major problem. My old powerbook, still running 10.4, is completely unaffected, and my MBP was behaving completely fine before the 10.5.7 update.
