Have you trashed FCP preferences?

Dave Perry · November 19th, 2004, 08:58 PM

Yes Jeff, permissions have been trashed and no difference.

If it's really interfering with your work flow you can always downgrade to 10.3.5 It's not an easy task, but it may be worth it for some individuals.

Dave Perry · November 19th, 2004, 09:17 PM

Can it be done woth out reinstalling everything?

Jeff Donald · November 19th, 2004, 10:25 PM

Yes, you need to you Panther disk and that should be all. You may have reset some of your individual preference settings. Boot from the 10.3 Panther Install Disk. Choose the custom Option in the lower left corner when the install window appears (may be the second or third window.) then click the buttons to do an archive and preserve your network settings. Choose custom install and only install the System software. Do not install any of the apps, languages, printer drivers etc. Install 10.3. After the install is complete then run software update under the Apple Menu and download what you want to install. Go to the Apple site and download the 10.3.5 combo update. Be sure and repair permissions before and after all the installs. You may need to copy some printer drivers and preferences from the Old system Archive.

I did trash the prefs and I'll recommend a little tool to do that with: FCP RESCUE.

It's great, you can delete all your prefs but it will restore your settings so you don't have to do them all over again.

I've heard that 10.3.7 is in the works but no one is saying much about the FCP issues. I REALLY don't want to have to downgrade my OS but I might have to if for no other reason then to see if it fixes the issues

Sure wish I had checked in here before upgrading to 10.3.6 today. Now my canvas and viewer is all fuzzy... I was outta town last week and missed this thread. Well, word to the wise. DVINFO.net/conf before any and all upgrades.
