Tiger, FCP5 and hardware don’t mix.
I upgraded to Tiger and now I can’t capture. Error reads to quit FCP and check hardware but everything is the same and worked in Panther???

What is your particular hardware? What computer are you using? How much RAM? What version of Tiger? Have you upgraded to the most current versions of the OS and FCP 5?

Just purchased system in March. G5 dual 2.0G processors – AJA IO – 7G ram – Tiger and FCP5 and AJA IO software updated after install today
-
Someone told me that I must install Tiger with no ext. plugged in i.e unplug the AJA befor install and that Apple is aware of this but I couldn’t find it on the Apple site???
-
Yes, that is always wise. Install the OS and the FCP application with nothing connected other than the Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard. That is the usual tip from the tech support people…

k I’ll unplug all erase and instal on clean drive. I’m reading many post about FCP 3 and 4.5 Do many people have 5.0 and Tiger? Did I jump the beta gun and order to early?
-
BTW… Although the AJA was plugged into the G5 there was no power to the AJA unit while the instal happened, but I was told this doesn’t matter but haw do they talk with no power?

I think that most people running FCP 5 are using it with Tiger. Some are sticking with 10.3.9 , but most are using FCP 5 with Tiger….

Sounds like your problem is just reinstalling QT 7.
Also this, also on the Apple web site…

THX. This sounds like a solution!

I have a very old (first ediion) Dual2GHz running all latest OS FCP and drivers with an AJA IO and have no problems.
When I got FCP 5 I bought a new SATA drive and did a full install on that. The first install didn’t run very well, some stickyness in FCP slugishness in the OS etc. I wiped it again and reinstalled from the top, never looked back since (I still have the old Panther/FCP4.5 drive installed so I can ‘look back’ if I needed to!)
I can’t remember what version of QT was current when I did this, it was a few weeks after launch though.
I’ve installed FCP5/Tiger/IO setups at two other companies and they both run fine too.
