Upgrade to FCP 5.1.4 and OSX 10.4.9 stops DV

Hi all,
Have upgraded to from OSX 10.3.9 to OSX 10.4 to allow me to upgrade FCP from 4.5 to 5.1 in order to add HDV support.
First use after upgrading and FCP is no longer recognising DV camera through Firewire. Subsequently upgraded to OSX 10.4.9 and FCP 5.1.4 but still have the same problem.
Can control the camera from log and capture, but preview disabled and capturing insists that no device is selected. Capture presets state that Video Device DV Video is missing
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the problem?
TIA
Dual processor G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Welcome to the forum!
Try reinstalling quicktime... here's the article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852

  • Problems with FCP 5.1.4 and OSX 10.4.9

    I upgraded to Tiger, installed the new FCP Studio and everything was working fantastic.
    The next morning there was a software update for Tiger and FCP-5.1.4, it's been a nightmare ever since. When I restarted FCP would not recognize my Sony HDR FX1.
    I had this problem once before with 4.5 and I fixed it by re-installing FCP and doing the upgrades, so that's what I did with 5 but this time there was a new problem. It wouldn't let me work on anything that I had opened since I did the software update, so I had to do the update again and then FCP wouldn't recognize my camcorder again on startup. If you pressed log and capture you could control the camera but no capture was possible.
    So I re-set the easy set-up and presto! everything was fine and I worked productively for a few days.
    But then I had to capture some SD from my Canon GL2 so I reset all the settings for DV NTSC and reset the easy set-up for DV NTSC but now FCP won't recognize my GL2 on start-up. If I click log and capture I can control the camera but no capture.
    My next try to solve my problem was to downgrade back to my original 10.4.6 and FCP 5.1
    That put be back to square one and everything works fine again except I am left with the problem that everything that I worked on after I did the update won't open, I get error 41.
    Now I know this is because I am now trying to work on these projects with 5.1 after they were worked on in 5.1.4. But the problem is that everytime I update to 5.1.4 I can no longer capture or print to tape.
    I tried the trashing the FCP prefs thing and the repairing permissions thing but I can't seem to solve the problem.
    Has anyone else had any problems using FCP 5.1.4 and OSX 10.4.9?

    Not sure how you tried to install 10.4.8 but if all
    else fails you can always reinstall the original
    operating system that came with your Mac using 'Erase
    and Install' then upgrade it to 10.4.8 - probably in
    stages.
    Erase and install should be used as a last resort! A better option is to use the "archive and install" feature. It renames your old system folder and creates a new one for the OS you just re-installed. That way you don't have to reinstall everything, your user accounts and emails should all still be there, and if something doesn't work, you have your old system folder to pull things like preference files out of.

  • Tried to use Iphoto and was told I needed upgrade. Try to install upgrade . Upgrade should take an hour if photo library is large. It's now close to three hours and still upgrading.  Can't use Iphoto and don't want to stop if still upgrading...3hours??

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • Capturing DVCAM in FCP 6.0.2 and encountering strange capture behavior

    I have FCP 6.0.2 and OSX 10.5.2 and QT 7.3.1. I have been capturing several DVCAM cassettes using my Sony DSR-20 deck. Although I have done this countless times before in earlier versions of FCP, I am encountering some strange repetitive behavior. I am capturing 30 minute clips one at a time. When I use batch capture it will cue the tape up properly to the in point...and then start capturing until it gets to about 10-12 minutes in, and then capture unexpectedly stops, no dialogue box, the tape rewinds and starts capturing again from the original in point. On this second capture, the tape sails past the 10 minute mark and keeps going to the end of the 30 minute clip. It then stops, gives me the dialogue box that it has successfully captured. And it has.
    But every DVCAM tape I captured today exhibited the same behavior. Capture would be successful until about about 10 minutes in, then FCP aborts (no dropped frame message, no dialogue box) rewinds the tape back to the in point, tries again, and this time succeeds with the second pass capturing the entire clip. Note at the 10 minute mark there is no scene change or no camera start/stop.
    Have other users experienced this issue? And if so, is there a workaround or a possible patch forthcoming from FCP?
    Many thanks,
    John

    Yes, each tape has an in and out point defined. In my 6 years of editing with Final Cut and DVCAM tapes I've never encountered this issue before in the capturing process until now. I will have to see in future weeks with other captures whether this is an on-going issue or not, but at least I can capture for now.

  • Just upgraded to FCP 5.1 and get no signal from Panasonic DVX100

    Hello all.
    I am an experienced FCP user. Just did a fresh install of 5.1 and now I get no connection with my dvx100 (the original not the "a" model). I get remote control, meaning when I go to capture I can play, rewind, etc, however FCP sees no image and I cannot import or export to/from video. When I startup FCP says it cannot locate the exterior device firewire NTSC 720x480.
    What is going on? Is this camera no longer supported with FCP 5.1? It worked fine with 4.1.1
    Please help!!

    Welcome to the forum.
    You will find by searching that this question (deck/camera not recognized after upgrade of FCP/QT/OSX) is asked (and answered) multiple times a day.
    Searching before posting is a great way to utilize the forum and to gain much faster answers to your questions.
    Since this is your initial visit - you get one free get out of jail card ....
    The problem most commonly is the Quicktime installation becomes corrupted in some minor way during some upgrades. A full quicktime reinstall most often solves the problem.
    Heres how:
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    Good luck.

  • I've tried upgrading from FCP 10.0.1 to the newest version and I cannot do it. It does not pop up on the App Store. Is this an upgrade or do I have to buy it again?

    I've been trying to export my videos after installing the Mavericks upgrade and FCP does not let me. On one of the forums I was told to upgrade to FCP 10.6.
    Is this a free upgrade or do I have to buy the newest version again?

    The current version is 10.0.9. The update to 10.0.9 from 10.0.1 is free. Log in to the App Store *with the same Apple ID used to buy the application* and click on "Updates".

  • Third party chip and OSX upgrades

    i have an original bondi blue imac (233 mhz) that I upgraded years ago to 500mhz with a newer technologies third-party chip. I also have upgraded it to a 40MB HD and 374 Meg RAM with another 8Meg video RAM. Now it is time to do the firmware update in order to upgrade to OSX.
    Has anyone had any experience with that firmware update and those types of third party chips? I am afraid!
    The manufacturer has discontinued them and I emailed them but haven't got any joy so far.
    thanks

    Do you have the original CPU handy? You can always downgrade, then do the firmware upgrade, and then upgrade again.
    As far as I know the firmware upgrade affects only the logic board and not the CPU, but I don't want to be responsible for you frying your upgrade chip. As the upgrade chip is technically not supported by Apple, they will not have tested their firmware upgrader on a machine that has a third-party chip. But untested doesn't mean it won't work.

    Try creating a new user and see if the application runs in that user account.
    If it works, then it is something in your user account (preferences, caches, login items) that is causing a conflict.
    It it dies not, then you should remove the application using FCS Remover, and download a fresh copy from your purchases in the App Store.

    There is no upgrade to iPhoto with OS X 10.10.3 - here was an update to version 9.6.1 a few months ago and Photo 1.0 was added with 10.10.3 - what software and which version are you having trouble with - iPhoto or Photos?

  • I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. 
    There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
