Just upgraded Mac OSX to 10.8.2 today. Using Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5. Background Tasks window will not come on by clicking on it or using Command 9. Timeline changes to a darker and lighter shade of grey, but no Background Task box. This also means that you can't pause the background task once they are started.
Anyone else have this problem?
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Hi,
Followed the "How to reset the Final Cut Pro X Preferences" before I got James' response. That resolved the no Background Task box problem. It may have fixed something else, but, so far, have done a lot of different commands in FCPX since upgrading to ML 10.8.2.
Can't reproduce this problem. The application behaves correctly with this version of the OS.
I am having this problem using 10.8.2.
I have trashed preferences using the Digital Rebellion program and it has not removed the issue. It occurs when I remove a second monitor from our MBP. You can see cmd+9 is toggling something (timeline changes shade), but the tasks window is nowhere to be seen.
If I connect to a second monitor and drag it back over, I'd be OK - problem is when I'm working remotely and don't have that option available.
I have the same issue.
Tried the prefs trick but that didn't work for me.
Anything else to try guys? I normally work with FCP on just the laptop screen.
I use a MBPro 17" with 10.8.2 and FCP X 10.0.7
No problems with the Background Tasks with or without a second monitor.

As with other situations where a window is not visible, it is likely just off-screen where you can't see it. If your main "Final Cut Pro" window becomes inactive (close, minimize, and zoom buttons turn grey) when you attempt to open the "Background Tasks" window, this indicates that the window is definitely opened, it's just offscreen somewhere.
You can solve this problem by forcing FCPX to gather up all of its windows without having to delete your preferences:
1. Attempt to open the Background Tasks window in FCPX,
2. Switch to System Preferences->Displays and change your display resolution,
3. Switch back to FCPX and verify that you now have your missing window back,
4. Switch back to System Preferences and change your resolution back to its previous setting (likely the "Best for display" radio button).

• click in the Menu Bar on Windows
