  • trash preferences in Leopard??

    Posted by Todd Reid on April 17, 2008 at 12:34 pm

    I’ve gotten so used to FCP Rescue, that I’ve forgotten how to manually trash preferences.
    FCP Rescue doesn’t seem to work in Leopard.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Any programs that work in Leopard?

    This works:

    1. Quit FCP.
    2. Open your System Drive.
    3. Set to Column View.
    4. Follow the path: Users > Name > Library > Preferences.
    5. In the Preferences Pane look for “com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist”. Drag the FCP plist to the Trash.
    6. In the same Preference Pane, look for the Final Cut Pro User Data Folder.
    7. From inside the Data Folder, drag ‘Final Cut Pro (v) Prefs’, ‘Final Cut Pro Obj Cache’ and ‘Final Cut Pro Prof Cache’, all three shown below in green, to the Trash.
    8. Do NOT empty the Trash.
    9. Launch FCP and check all your settings. All FCP setting will have reverted to default. Don’t forget to reset your Scratch Disk settings.
    10. Once FCP is up and running, empty the Trash.

    I use FCP Attic:

    Free version will trash prefs. $15 will back them up. Still worth it.
