  • Livetype won’t open

    Been running FCP V7 on a MacBook Pro for 6 months solidly. Livetype refuses to launch today after working perfectly for months. I have created a new account to see if it account related and been told to delete some livetype files from the receipts folder in the library and then go to search for software updates. Have also reinstalled FCP from the FCP box although it doesn’t mention livetype on the box. Still the issue remains

    Anyone else had this issue?

    Livetype isn’t part of FCS3. But if you upgrade from 2 to 3 it remains, much like the QT7 in Snow Leopard issue.
    Go back to your FCS2 disks.

    Thanks Rob

    The problem is that I have only ever installed from FCP studio 3 on this particular machine. When the machine was purchased I loaded from an upgrade disc and then entered the redundant serial number from the old software. It worked fine until this morning and I can’t see what has changed to make it fail…

    I tried installing the livetype discs from the old software and it loads but livetype still won’t launch. Any other ideas or suggestions welcome…

    I think there’s a solution to this over at the Apple FCP forum. I actually something something on this. Wait. It was in a tweet yesterday or today. There must be a fix posted at Apple.

    Hi
    I have just purchased and installed FCP 7.02 on my iMac OSX10.5.8

    I am attempting to open a file which is requiring Livetype.
    The Livetype software in order to open is asking for a serial number which I assume is the FCP serial number. I enter this number but according to the Livetype it is the wrong number. Any Ideas?

    Next I encountered this Additional problem but which should be in another thread:
    2 then I attempt to log in to Apple support forum to post a question there. My apple ID is recognised and I am prompted to create a alias and enter info re computer model etc but when I complete all fields and click “submit” the same page just reloads and I can’t get to log in to the forum – I am caught in a loop as a “guest” being asked to create an account.

    thankyou

    Bob
