Y must I trash prefs EVERY TIME 2 use FCP 5.04???

When I try to run FCP 5.04, it will try to start and then quit.
It will only load if I trash my prefs. I must do this everytime in order for the program to start.
I recently upgraded from Tiger on a MDD G4 to Leopard on a 2.8 Dual Quad.
I cloned the data from an IDE to a sata then upgraded it to the new OS and all the updates and verified/repaired all the permissions.
I wish I could reload the programs but no longer have the disks...
HELP!

I bought FC Studio 2 and it solved one problem but created another.
New posted topic is: Audio & Video NOT Synch'd after MIGRATION, OSX UPGRADEs & FCP UPGRADE
My MDD G4 running Tiger with FCP 5.0.4 died.
I migrated my data from the old IDE's to SATA drives on my new 8 core Mac Pro running Leopard (10.5.6) and had to get & then install FCP 6 (from Final Cut Studio 2)
Now my old projects play the correct audio with the correct still cutaways but show video that is way off from the original source files.
Help!

FCE HD quits when opening unless I trash prefs EVERY time.

I'm running FCE HD 3.5.1 on an Intel. When opening the app, the FCE HD opening/loading window pops up... the external a/v connection window pops up... I click continue... the opening/loading window disappears and FCE quits without warning or message.
For a temporary fix, I have to delete the prefs before opening EVERY time. I've tried searching for a permanent fix, but haven't found anything that works. It's quite annoying to lose preference settings every day because of having to delete them.
Any Suggestions?

Did you trash ALL THREE Preferences as detailed in these instructions:-

If that doesn't work you should consider reinstalling FCE but before you do you must completely uninstall as detailed here:-

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The simply answer probably is that you are running your system with insufficient user privileges and system restore or some security tools are blocking stuff/ erasing your install.

Pages leaves Recovery Files in the trash every time I use it. Fix?

I have Pages '08 version 3.0.2. Every time I use it, it will leave a recovery file in the trash the next time I restart. Pages is not crashing when this happens. It happens with normal use of Pages.
What can I do to fix this? It's a paint constantly empty the trash can every time I restart.

It is a Pages problem. Let me explain why.
The article you linked to said:
+Usually temporary files *are deleted by an application* when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not get deleted by the application.+
There's the problem. Pages is not deleting the temporary file even when I save my document successfully and close the app. This is not related to a crash. Pages should be deleting those files, but is not. So every time I restart, there's yet another Recovery File folder in the trash.
None of the other apps have this problem, including none of the other iWork apps. Pages and only pages does this (without a crash).
What I want to know is why it's not deleting the temporary files when it's supposed to. Is my copy of Pages bad or is there a problem with the .plist file? I dread opening any Pages file because I know it'll leave junk in my trash again.

Favorite effects gone every time I start FCP

This is getting frustrating...
Every time I launch FCP 5, it treats me as a first time user. It looks like my preferences are not saving when I log out and shut down. I have created a new user account and have been using that for a week, but this morning as soon as I launched the editing software it asks to choose a set-up (AV setting) and move my windows to the default location. The favorite effects are gone and all of the user and system preferences are reset to default or day-one configuration. has anyone else experinced this and did you resolve it?
thanks

Have you tried trashing prefs and starting them again?
Sounds like a corruption.
Tried http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ ?
This is a great free program.

The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works. However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled. Help!

It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

InDesign CC crashes every time I use type tool

I just installed InDesign last night and every time I use the type tool the program crashes. Any suggestions?

How do you expect a designer to go through 300 plus fonts to find a font that might possibly cause issues? Indesign CS5 works fine with the fonts installed. Working in safe boot is not an option in a daily work flow. It must be a bug. (Mac intel OS 10.8.4) Indesign does not crash when using text tool on OS 10.6.x

Why does my iPhoto quit every time i use it?

why does my iPhoto quit every time i use it?

Thanks for your help.
1st, when I go to software updates, it says all my software is up to date. Perhaps that is because I only have OS 10.7.5 and the updated iPhoto version is for an updated OS version.
I turned off the counts in prefernces and still can empty the trash. It gets stuck and will not empty more than about 1/5 of the trash.
Can you help me figure out the fastest way to back up iPhoto. I have the cloud backup but not sure how to check to see if it is actually backing up my photos. Do you know how to check into this? Is it better to back up on a hard drive?
Thanks again for your help ...

In v6 airport utility "Join a wireless network" is not available once the TC is setup.
You must reset to factory and try again using the selection options.. and it can fail or not come up.. This is an extremely poor way to setup a TC.. and you should NEVER EVER DO IT.. that is why apple removed it. Since you are joining wireless it makes no difference where the TC is located.. since it would become a dumb AP and turn off its ethernet ports.
Place it right next to your main modem router, plug in by ethernet, and select bridge mode and create a wireless network. Never use Join a wireless network..
However for completeness here is the method.
How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
Never ever do it.
If you need internet by wireless and backup to the TC.. then simply plug the TC directly into the Mac.
Run dual network.. Setup explained here.
Using Time Capsule hardwired to Mac for back-up only.

I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it

Hi Everyone
I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it
It's running a i7 2ghz with 8gb ram And OS X 10.8.4
I have had the Air around 11 months and the last week is the first time it has ever frozen , now it will do it after about 15 min use
It seems a little warmer than usual and it will freeze no matter what is running , or just idle .
And just to add , no google chrome installed

The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Before every time I use to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore and instead is an automatically website calle Only Search. I went to Safari preference I change everything and when I quit Safari all the changes are gone.

Every time I used to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore , instead it open in a website called Only Search, I went to safari preferences and made all changes but after I quit Safari and open again all changes are gone. I can not change anything and new tab comes by it self with other website.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

I recently bought two iMac quad core i5 processor speed 2.5 Ghz. Every time I use Air Drop and I send a file from one iMac to the other, a black curtain drops and I am asked to restart the computer!!! What can I do?

That's a kernel panic and indicates some sort of problem either with the computer's hardware or software. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. It would help to post the panic log: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic.
Meanwhile, try booting the computers into Safe Mode then restarting normally. If this is simply a disk repair or cache file problem then this may fix it.
You can also try creating a new admin account on each computer then booting into the new account. This would help determine if the problem is related to a bad file in the user accounts.

Hi, DickmoAZ.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

My credit money is going down by $2 every time i use an app?

Every time i use an app on my phone, my credit money goes down by $2. The apps don't require an internet connection, why is my credit money going down? Are the apps eating my credit money? Or is it something else? I don't even know which app is doing it, i;m now scared to use any app because my credit just keeps going down!! Some body please help!!

Do two things:
1. In Settings > iTunes & App Stores, turn off automatic downloads for Apps.
2. Assuming you sync using iTunes, turn off the automatic app syncing on the App tab when you have the iPads connected that should not receive the downloads.

How to change icloud email? It wasn't me who made it. So every time I used my Apple ID is linked to that email?

How to change icloud email? It wasn't me who made it. So every time I used my Apple ID is linked to that email?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change that address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
