Has anyone had this problem? I installed Final cut pro 6 and upon start up after installation, it goes through all the motions and after it tells you there is no camera attached, it crashes. I have tried updating also and this didnt help. I am running 10.5.5 on a 2.40 quad-core with 8 gb of memory and nvidia 7300 gt.

- QE/CI enabled?
- Your ethernet card is en0?
- Have you tried trashing preferences?

Google for solution, that issue is easy to fix.

i have this problem as well. then i installed final cut express and it works fine.

Strangy work like a charm here

I'm about to try some of the solutions in this forum...

Will let you know how I get on. ..

I am having the same problem. I even tries final cut 5 and 6 both crash the exact same way. Compressor, dvd studio, everyting else works fine just final cut pro. If you found a fix please let me know.

Hi
What I did.

Edit the NetworkInterfaces.plist...

go to: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

Change these lines:

BSD Name from "en1 or whatever you have" to "en0"

IOInterfaceUnit to "0"

I saved to another location then replace the file, it will ask the admin password.

Then delete your internet connection, and add a new, it has to show the en0 network adapter.

Hope this helps.

Hi ihackpro... your solution worked absolutely perfectly for me. After I edited the plist, rebooted and went into the Network preferences, the system informed me it had detected a new ethernet port and told me to configure it... Did that and now FCP 6.0.6 starts up without a single problem. Wonderful stuff!

Thanks for putting this here for us to use.

I had the same problem; actually neither Final Cut Pro nor QMaster nor Compressor would run and crash on startup (including QMaster preferenc panel). and that´s how it got fixed: It is, like already mentionned, Final Cut Pro not seing a Ethernet Interface "en0". To get this, you go into Preferences Panels/Networking and delete all networking interfaces except your major ethernet - which is very likely up and running. After this you go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete "NetworkInterfaces.plist" (you can keep a backup copy, if you like).

Restart your Hackintosh now and go to Preferences Panels/Networking again and klick on the"Tool" symbol to choose "Rearranging Interfaces". Do this and put your Ethernet to the top.

I have the same problem, only I don`t have a working network card yet.... any ideas??

mine is dying in the same way. I have a evga 9800gtx though.
my board (cant remember?) won't even give me an option of en0 and if I try to edit said file, it changes it back to fw0 after restart.
ideas?

Worked like a charm!

Got final cut running now.

Thanks!!

Thanks!! Finally everything works!

I have Final Cut Studio 3. I install everything. Compressor and Final cut Pro both crash when loading up. I found out by uninstalling Qmaster, final cut pro loads fine. Now I don't have compressor, qmaster installed and would like to have them. Also, the "Share" functionality in Final Cut Studio is now disabled because it uses Compressor, which I don't have. I have a hackintosh computer. I connect to the internet using some third party wireless card that's intstalled. I believe it acts as the airport. Here are my network settings:
