File Error: Access Denied

[Walter Biscardi]

So you just used the Mac OS software to transfer everything, you didn’t install everything clean from the original software discs on the new Mac Pro? If not, that’s a major issue, you should always install your software, especially the ProApps, clean from original software and not migrate them from one computer to another.

Yeah, I just used the software to transfer everything.

Now that I have already done it, should I uninstall FCS on the new machine and reload, or can I just install over the top of the old?

Thanks for your help. I really do appreciate it.

You need to set your sharing and permissions on your system and scratch drives.

I would wipe everything clean and start again personally. Especially since it’s all brand new.

If you figure this out, please go back and close the identical threads you have posted in other FCP forums.

Oh right.

Thanks for your help everyone. I’m wiping and reinstalling everything. Gets too complicated any other way.

Try changing your scratch disk. Worked for me!

Hi joe,
The Mac installers are hardware based: Depending of your computer some or other elements will be installed.
Your Mac Pro needs many things (Drivers, applications, extension,..) that are not inside of your Mac Book Pro System.

Hi,
I actually did do an clean install of all the pro apps. But it’s weird I am getting that message on a specific timeline. The scratch media of that project is on an separate internal HD and the projects files are on the MACHD (system). I changed the permissions on a bunch of files but no change.
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, did a clean install of everything.
I noticed that ALL permissions on folders and files are set to unknown.
Is there a way to change all of them without going into each one?

Thanks

Paolo

Trashed prefs. Problem solved.
