    Sleep is over-rated in this business.

     

    Best bet: download FCP remover (it's free) from digitalrebellion.com, remove whatever got installed and start again.

    I'll remember that next time and thanks for the advice but it didnt work unfortunately.

    Do you know anywhere I can contact Apple about fixing FCS?

    I cant find anything on the support site that deals with software, other than the software you buy online.

    after using FCS remover run  disc repair:

     

    shut down the Mac

     

    Hold the Shift key on keyboard and start up the Mac

     

    The Mac will run the repair tasks it takes 10- 30 minutes, then it will boot up normally

     

    insert the FCS DVD in the drive and install FCS again.
