FCP 5.0.4 still not working

Rod Rod said:
Right now, I bet FCP isn't launching at all because something's wrong with your Final Cut Studio System ID file. It's in the ProApps folder. Delete that file (or rename it, adding "old" to the end of it if you like), launch FCP and enter your serials.

I deleted the ID file, launched FCP, entered my serial number and once again the splash screen appeared and then vanished.

So it still doesn't work.

I'm not a happy camper at the moment.

Hey all,

update worked fine here, but there's still a lingering problem for me; whenever i use bootcamp, windows changes the time format for the computer time automatically. However, upon restarting in to OS X, the XP time standard remains and the time is off by a number of hours. In the time/date system pref, i have "set date & time automatically" checked, but it never actually does it on its own. I have to open that window in sys prefs and THEN it will change the time for me. It's a real pain in the butt. Any ideas on why this is happening??? (and by the way, my firewall allows "Network Time" to pass)

wait are you talking about xp or os x . if your talking bout xp. hay its windows its suppose to screw up remember :)

if os x , check time zone settings could be a preference that needs resetting. or cache cleaning.

or you have a bot on your computer changing it. reformat 0 level and reinstall.

And with the hacked OS X (IIRC)

It has to do with Linux, Solaris, and OS X setting the hardware time to GMT and Windows insisting on "updating" the system clock to local time. It's because Windows decided it couldn't just go along with a standard...not that anyone should be surprised by that.

24" iMac

I JUST got my 24" iMac yesterday, and thought my software updates were going to be done for a while, then I noticed this popping up.

Worked perfectly though, so no complaints.

Did you know that a touch screen model is available for the 24" iMac?

Time/Dates are hard to program.

There's so many exceptions to rules.

I'm not surprised by this.
Click to expand...

The compiled zone files are usually fairly small, and are generally no more than 1K each in size. There's just a lot of them.

The files reside in /usr/share/zoneinfo. On some operating systems the source files are also provided here to allow users to recompile the rules if needed, using the 'zic' utility. These rule files contain a lot of historical data on time zones.

updated FCP to 5.0.4

but it won't launch, the splash screen starts and then disappears

very disappointing

i haven't updated to 5.1 because Apple Canada doesn't support the exchange of install DVDs, we have to send them to the US and i didn't want to incur both the expense, hassle and the thought of possibly losing my master install DVDs

any ideas?
Click to expand...

I bet that is your problem. Sounds like the update yesterday should have told you you needed to update first instead of messing up your 5.0.4. Don't worry about the master installs, simply make copies of them before sending just in case and I scanned the disks as proof then I sent them via FedEx. I was worried too but the new disks came back in two days.

Did anyone get a gray world symbol (like a flat globe) on boot after installing these updates? I've never seen it before, and I can't see anyone mentioning it on any forums.

Before the gray Apple symbol showed up, there was a gray World logo for a long time before it finally displayed the Apple and continued booting.

FCP 5.0.4 up and running now

I just got off the phone with Apple Tech Support. The problem was with the Preference files. I deleted:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finalcutpro.plist
~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data

After much pondering, I'll go ahead with the upgrade to 5.1.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Other than this issue, things do seem a little snappier in general after the system updates.

A Mac Pro and MacBook both updated without problems.

It it my imagination, or does Apple release these security updates just a week or so before they unleash the next full update (10.4.9 in this case). While such updates are not always follow a security update (several can come out between OS version updates), OS X updates is usually preceeded by a security update (allowing those who don;t want to use the new release to still get the security updates) :eek:

Best bit about security updates is that they fix security holes,Its easier to hack into an unupdated mac if you know what the security holes are.... The macs we have in schoold arent really updated much, The version of firefox is 1.4, at least i have firefox 2 installed to my desktop.

problems with Java in Safari?

FYI, I've noticed a few problems with Java in Safari lately. On a couple of web sites when trying to rent a car I'll hit the submit button and either nothing happens or the response is as if I had put in screwy dates. It seems like this used to work so it could be something on this system became corrupt. Scans of permissions and the disk showed nothing wrong. The same websites work fine with IE on windows. I tried a restart but nothing changed.

Edit: After applying the Java update the sites I had trouble with now work fine. I don't what the problem was but it was fixed by the update.

I think he was joking by saying the default reply people say after any Apple update of any kind.
