Aristedes

1. Repair permissions (you can use onyx or whatever)

Tried.

2. https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048 – Re-run the combo update this time: 10.6.4

Tried.

3. Trash prefs: use Digital Rebellion’s Preference Manager.

Tried, many times.

4. Uninstall FC Studio and BM Drivers, Reinstall FC Studio BM Drivers

(You can combine the above)

Tried, multiple times.

5. Finally the surely most painful: Roll back to 10.6.3 it’ll 95% work just fine.

The problem started with 10.6.3. I upgraded to 10.6.4 hoping to fix the problem.

So apparently I’m one of the 5% – do you have any other suggestions?

Mark –

I have e-mailed BM support, but I’m not sure where the problem lies, and I’m hoping that with the larger Final Cut Pro forum here someone might have worked thru this problem.

Gav –

Almost any large European city can say the same thing

That’s exactly right, many large western cities can say the same thing, but can China? NY is a center, no more so than London, Paris, Berlin – the question is weather a closed society like China’s can produce a city that wields the same influence.

Mark,

I will try hard to not sound like a biased NYer and I quite understand that the 21 century might see China become the pre-eminent economic power in the world, however…

Pick a criteria: Architecture. Nope. Public Transportation. Nope. Public Cleanliness. Definitely Not. Industrial output? Not by a factor of ten. Financial power? Debatable. While all you New Yorkers were chanting “USA, USA, USA” or “We’re Number one” the center of the universe was shifting. Westward. All the way to China.

Cleanliness??? when was NY ever clean? Industrial output???? when was NY in the top 20 of industrial cities even in the US? NY’rs chanting “USA,USA” – my guess is that there is less jingoistic fervor in NY than any city in the US. Do you have NY somehow mixed up with Des Moines?

I’m sure NY’s public transport looks archaic – it is archaic. That’s because it’s been in the business of moving millions of people a day for almost one hundred years.

NY has always been about money — making it, trading it, stealing it. But because that wealth was accruing in a relatively “free” and liberal society, along with that wealth came one of the perks that come with the gold, namely culture. NY is rich in money, rich in culture – art, music, literature -and also, and most importantly, it is rich in people.

If you can re-call the video clip that started that whole thread twice the speaker remarked that it was surprising to find a cabbie who spoke English – and this got a big laugh from the audience. It got a laugh because it’s quite true – the driver could have been pakistani, indian, mexican, from any of twenty countries in Africa or a dozen countries in the mid-east. They come here for a reason, and as long as we welcome them and they still choose to come, then I don’t worry about the future of this city.

I’ve never been to Asia, obviously never been to China. When a Chinese spokesman can tell a story about a Panamanian or Nigerian or Pakistani cab driver who took him to the airport, then I might concede NYs right to considered the “center of the universe.”

What I’m saying is that if you want to run a business, as opposed to being a freelancer, then sales has to be YOUR First Priority.

The most succesful companies I’ve seen always had as one of the principals someone with a sales/marketing orientation. Often I’ve seen partnerships thrive with a sales / creative 2 man (or woman) team. While you can and often should have a sales team working along with you, you cannot have a management team that is purely creative and expect to hire a sales force that will generate all your business. If you go into business, then bringing in new clients is either your top priority or you will fail.

Milton –

You make a common mistake I hear from a lot of people in this business –
the idea that you can “hire” a good salesperson to bring in business. You have the tail wagging the dog.

If someone can bring in business then he will hire you – not the other way around. The rare thing to find is someone who can generate sales – in comparison finding a good production company is easy.
