  • Power Mac lock up

    Posted by Joe Harmon on April 27, 2009 at 3:17 am

    Just replaced G5 with the Power Mac w Intel etc etc. Now, while editing in FCP, if I try and change any parameters in effects…system locks up. Can’t do ANYTHING in any environment FCP Finder whatever. This causes me to do a shutdown thereby losing what has not been saved prior to the lock. The Store I bought the Mac from did the data migration. Wanted to make sure it was done correctly. An help out there? I have run disk utilities and Cocktail.

    First off your post is a little confusing as to your machine.

    [joe harmon] “Just replaced G5 with the Power Mac w Intel”

    There was never a PowerMac with a Intel Processor, so I assume that you mean that you replaced your PowerMac G5 with a Intel MacPro.

    As for your issue.

    Final Cut Pro is not a program to migrate. FCP certain components into the OS and during a migration nothing in the OS gets moved, just data user data and apps.

    Whenever setting up a new FCP work station always start with a clean install of the OS and and clean install of Final Cut.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!
