It definately sounds like it is time to upgrade or at least re-install the OS. When was the last time that you did it. I have been trying to talk to people about how often they so/should do this & most people are trying to get a clean build ever 6-9 months.

walter nailed it but if you would like to apply any type of zooming/panning/scanning type action to it the larger the better for quality movements.

An “out of memory” error is usually is due to a corrupt file, not a lack of RAM. I would get at least another GB of RAM though… at crucial.com that will cost about $116 for (2) 512 sticks. Alot of people here recommend the site & are happy with them. I would tweak your memory settings to no more than an Application cache of 95% & a Still cache of 30%. This will leave your background services/system free to use some RAM should it need it. The Still cache usually doesn’t get bumped up untill you notice that your timeline is taking a longtime to load the thumbnails for previewing. I use this feature more intensively than most (lots of cuts with different files) & haven’t had an issue with the 30% setting.

you know the keyboard shortcuts right?
CNTL+` will delete them all
APPLE+` will delete the marker that you are on -
Give everyone a few more days… studio just shipped today & we shall see how FCP5 dances with Tiger. As a good rule, if your system isn’t broke don’t fix it. Most people will wait to upgrade until you are prohibiting your money making opportunities. I’m excited to hear good feedback though!!!

I just purchased (2) new G5’s… both discs that came with each cpu won’t work. I called Apple & they are sending (2) new disk out so in a few days I’ll hopefully get a fresh batch-maybe both of my disks came from a duplication bum batch. How would we know, most never know until it’s too late. I have a feeling that I am screwed though, I doubt that Apple is going to have issues getting a quality cd product out. I also loaded the bum disk into my other older G5’s & they don’t recognize it either. When I place the old G5’s OSX reload disk in the new G5’s it sees it as a valid boot source but crashes half way through installation. I’m glad I found this out before trying to install TIGER! If I needed to downgrade I would have been seriously hurting.

Kind of sounds like the Catalog b-tree is corupted. Try doing a search on “b-tree” to see if these posts are similar to your issues & let us know.

nevermind, I forgot that you have to be the root user to do so; got it taken care of.

Actually under further review & discussions with the individual at the machine that is unresponsive I have learned that you can’t connect to the local network. So maybe this can help with answers. It is a WPA wireless set-up also if that has anything relevant to the troubleshooting.

Yeah, disable the protection; this is a major problem with files that are already so demanding on a system, the anti-virus just makes things worse.
