Upgraded to FCP 6.0.2 - now projects won't open

I recently installed the update, actually last week, was gone for a week, come back to begin work again and none of my projects open, FCP just quits, no error, no nothing. It just shuts down. Anyone have any ideas?

I hate to be the one to say this but most people including me reinstall the OS and FCS2 from scratch. FCS2 is not like most Mac apps. It installs deep in the OS. Do a search on installing FCS2 and you will see all the problems folks are having with upgrading.
Here is how I installed FCS2.
1. Used superduper to clone boot drive
2. Got all program disks ready to go.
3. I Made disk images of all the programs I have on disk and put them in a folder on an external drive. Loads the programs faster this way and now I have a backup. I also made sure I had all the downloaded programs I bought like flipfactory in that same folder
4. Did a clean install of Tiger. (for me Leopard is not ready yet. Its sitting on my desk.) Keep the external drive with the clone of your drive plugged in to you Mac.
5. After the install was finished I used Migration Assistant to move all  USER settings and network settings only from the cloned drive. DONT MOVE THE PROGRAMS OVER WITH THE ASSISTANT.
6. Repaired permissions
7. Updated Tiger to last update 10.4.11. Be careful not to update Quicktime to 7.4 I use 7.3.1 with no problems. Do a search on quicktime and you will see why.
8. Install software and keep repairing permissions along the way. and doing software updates.
9. Drank a nice cold brew and was happy that I now have a clean install and my FCS2 works perfectly.
I know this is a pain in the a*s but it sure beats troubleshooting issue's you cant fix and can now just enjoy editing

  • Lost Power - Now Project Won't Open!

    I'm working on an iMac (10.10.2) with an external hard drive.
    I was working on the project and some construction next door caused the power to go out. Now the project won't open. Every time I try to open it, the program crashes. I can open other projects from the same hard drive, just not the project that I was working on.
    HELP!

    IIf that opens, then go into the Original Media folders and look through all the clips and see if they're OK. Any clip that has an actual image that appears in the Finder should be OK. Any clip that has a generic QT icon may be corrupted. See if it will open in the QT player. You can also use QuickLook in the Finder and step through the files in the list to see if the run.
    if you were titling also check through all the Fonts on your system and make sure none have generic document icons.

  • Replaced an asset and now project won't open

    I was finishing up some subtitles when I noticed an audio problem that needed to be corrected.
    So I saved my DVDSP4 project, quit the program, then made a quick audio cut in FCP. The amount of audio cut was less than a second. And because I cut my audio, I had to make a cut in my video.
    Then I exported using Compressor (DVD Best Quality - 90 mins). I saved over the original asset, figuring I could save some time and have DVDSP automatically update the altered asset.
    That was my mistake. I've spent the better part of two days adding subtitles to this project, and now the frigging thing won't open.
    When I opened the DVDSP project file, all my windows are missing excpect for the Palette and Inspector windows. The majority of menu options from the menu bar couldn't be accessed.
    However, when I open DVDSP from my dock, it opens up, all the windows are there, and the menu bar is fully functional. When I try to open the project file I've been working on using File>Open and File>Open Recent, I lose my windows and functionality.
    Any suggestions as to correct the problem?

    If Houghts' suggestion doesn't clear the problem initially, you could try going back a stage (in FCP).
    First make a copy of your new .m2v & sound files with a different name, and also the DVD SP project.
    Next open the edited film in FCP. Assuming you have the sequence for the previous edit, redo the playout with the same settings and name you that had originally, and without the one second cut. Overwrite the originally named files with these. Exit FCP. Delete all the PAR files and prefs for DVD SP again, as per Houghts above.
    Now try opening your project - since the assets referred to are the same length as before, there's a chance that DVD SP won't get confused, and will re-link to them.
    If it opens, you are back on track and can import the new versions, replace, then delete, as per Houghts above.

  • Logic unexpected quit now project won't open???

    So, I'm working in a project for about three hours and Logic quits as I clicked to open the audio editor. It is a memory issue. I only have 4GB... But now I can't open the project because it quits every time. What to do???

    Thanks SC. I'll try that next time. I was able to open the project in 64bit mode. If I tried to do anything other than play the project it would crash...so I exported the stems into a new project and finished my edits.

  • Upgrading to 7.0.1 and now Itunes won't open...

    I get an error message that says "QuickTime Version 7.0d0 is installed, Itunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall Itunes." What is going on and how do I fix?

    "QuickTime Version 7.0d0 is installed, Itunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall Itunes."
    with that one. let's try this first.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

    I ended up putting it in DFU mode.  It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
    Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
    So I used redsn0w.  I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
    Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

    davew100 - It is importen to have Pages in the iWork folder in the folder applications in your account. If you have moved it Software updater can't see if you need to update.
    You have the possibilty to downlaod the updates from iWork . You still need to have iWork in the Application folder.

    What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.

  • I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now I can't open the application Adobe ImageReady CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now I can't open the application Adobe ImageReady CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    There is no fix. It simply means that the software is outdated. Adobe would need to release a newer non-PPC version that supports Lion. They may have done that already, I don't know.
