  • WIFI interfering with FCPX booting up?

    Posted by James Villeneuve on December 29, 2014 at 6:43 pm

    Hi there everyone.

    When I boot up FCPX it hangs for about 30 seconds and then finishes the boot with no noticeable problem. When I turn off my wifi connection FCPX boots up in a couple of seconds. Does anyone know why this is the case and how I can fix it?

    I am running Yosemite on a Mac Pro (Late 2013) 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5, 32 GB of RAM, AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB.

    Thanks,
    James.

    Could be any number of things- i.e. something in a project connected to Dropbox. Or some other app that requires network access that is hanging and affecting FCPX.

    Hi there.

    Thanks for the reply. In regards to your theory, I’m not sure what to say. It has been like this since I did a clean install. I don’t have a dropbox account and I don’t have any other programs running that I am aware of. This is a real stumper. Are there any background processes or programs that run automatically without my knowledge?

    Once again, I can’t emphasize enough how fracking fast the program loads when the wireless is turned off. I’m greedy and I want this load speed all the time. I paid a lot of money for the mac tube. It’s so weird that it has a problem with booting the very program it was built to run.

    James.

    Here is a totally of the wall suggestion. Check if you have an itunes account and if the password is working. I find Apple messing me up with iCloud when it wants to check my itunes password.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Claude. My iTunes account is working just fine/password is just fine. But just to test the whole iCloud interference thing, I signed out of iCloud completely and tried opening FCPX. Same stupid hang for 30 seconds. Boots up like lightning with wifi turned off.

    It’s a fairly annoying little bug. Zionks.

    Any other suggestions/solutions? Anyone? I’m ready to try stuff!
