FCP won't start, did everything listed in wiki!Posted by videowallah
I was working on FCP 6 this morning just fine with a USB 2 drive, and then plugged in an additional firewire drive to look for a file. FW drive was corrupt and refused to transfer files, so I shut down, removed it and restarted. Since then, FCP won't load. I have done everything listed here, I swear:
[www.lafcpug.org] (except the RAM bit -- the project files I have, which are stored on the Mac and not the USB drive, never use more than 2 hrs of footage and are never very big) I can get to varying points in the load -- sometimes it asks me to reset my prefs and hangs, sometimes it'll let me get through so I can see the project windows and then hangs, etc. Have trashed prefs and restarted multiple times, loaded from projects, loaded from app, logged in as someone else, unplugged the USB drive, phoned my editor friend... So what's left to do? It seems possible that someone here has walked off with our install discs and Applecare number -- we have them for the version installed on a laptop, but that's not the one that's causing problems. So I can't reinstall and am not sure if I can contact Applecare anyway. iMac 10.5.6 Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo Memory 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Yes, it's legit -- we have two copies bought by the company I work for, one from 18 mos ago (that's the one that's causing probs, and also missing the install discs) and one from about 6 mos ago (for the laptop). Would reinstalling with the 'laptop' discs and the 'old' desktop serial number work?
Try it...
