Q: I can't open Final Pro X. It says "files are contaminated" and I can't seem to fix it. Please help! Thanks.
I can't open Final Cut Pro X and I'm working on a job with a looming deadline! It says "files are contaminated" and says to quit final cut and it will be restored and mended but that doesn't seem to fix it at all. Won't open. Please someone, anyone... help. : ( Mo thanks : )

I might have to bite the bullet and pay for the specialized tech support. Meanwhile I've been able to locate the original media and download it to my desktop thereby bypassing the external hard drive when opening final cut. I have to start the project over but at least I can get it done. Still though I have to figure out how to open the external hard drive eventually...

Hope you appreciate the specialized support is $799 – no small bullet.
In your first post you said you couldn't get FCP to open. What exactly happens when you launch it?
In your follow up post you said you can't open your external drive, but it appears you can now launch the app? Are you saying that you cannot get it to mount? Where exactly are your project files located?
Thanks.
