  • no access to A/V settings!?

    Posted by Tony Birkholz on June 20, 2005 at 2:26 pm

    when i attempt to go into my audio video settings message: General error (34) shows up, does anyone know what this means?
    restarting the program and the computer won’t change things either.

    Trash your preference file for FCP… it’s probably corrupted. user/library/preferences/FCP user data…

    For the record I’ve been having this exact same problem for about 2 weeks now. Tried the usual reccomended remidies short of repairing permissions which I’ve never done before. I’ve been able to make do without them for now, but it’d be great to know wha the fix is or at the very least what general error 34 means.
    Thanks in advance…

    I am guessing it means “Reinstall FCP”. Can you try that?

    The only time I’ve seen General Error 34 is with a bad psd file… so it sort of leads me to believe that this error has something to do with a media file FCP doesn’t like for whatever reason…

    I too just noticed that I’m having this same problem, hence my rooting through the Creative Cow posts. General Error 34, according the Apple, is a File System Error for Disk Full. https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=9805

    How that could possibly apply to my AV settings or the 30+ gigs of memory sitting unused, I have no idea.
