Final Cut Pro X keep on trying to connect to an old server with the following error message: There was a problem connecting to the server
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Try rebooting.
Sorry to say. I have tried to uninstall and install the program and also restarted the computer. Not solving the problem. When I close Final cut the problem disappear.
I have started a new projekt and created a new import. Created a new event. Problem still exist
What exactly does the message say? What exactly is the server it's looking for?
Did you trash your preferences?
I think I trashed all preferences. I found a instruction how to uninstall Final Cut. It is only this program asking for the old device.
I did this:
Found the instruction here.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5149
Reinstalling won't help. Rebooting should fix this. Go to network preferences and switch off all networking connections, all Ethernet, all WiFi. Do you have an Ethernet hub connected to your computer, or a card that connects to devices via Ethernet?
If I disconnect the computer from the network the problem occurs directly when i start Final Cut. Not before. Tried again with rebooting without success. Connecting via WiFi.
I can't help. Do you have any idea what this server ID is?
It is my old file server
There must be a network setting that is making it do that.
Okej,
Thank you Tom.
Anybody else that have any idé?
I am persistently distracted by this "problem connecting to the server" issue... My Mac will work fine & be free of this problem for as long as I avoid FCPX. The moment I launch Final Cut Pro X, however, the issue resumes. When Mavericks was released I was foolish enough to believe that wiping my system and starting anew would eliminate the problem (and a couple of others)... Alas, it must have returned along with some project or configuration I inadvertently imported from my previous configuration. Therein, I had avoided using the migration tool & specifically opted to manually install all my software... again... and reconfigure everything... again... ugh...
As it turns out, it was a near immediate announcement made, upon launching FCPX, whereby the issue manifested the error message. I stumbled onto a post suggesting that there might be an external resource (i.e. the server in question) referenced in one of my projects, event libraries, or media assets... Seems logical & probable. A search on the server name, IP address, possible protocol scheme names (smb://, afp://), relevant keywords & all of that, failed to expose a thing. This problem is clearly affecting many, many, many... based on the scope of topics wherein others have shared their (nearly) identical issues. This particular issue is quite difficult to articulate (outside of the obvious), and therein, seems even more challenging to nail down.
My hope is that we may collectively narrow the root cause & expose a resolution.
Does anyone know how to generate a (comprehensive) asset report for all projects, events, and media resources referenced in FCPX's project & events library? Perhaps such a tactic may help to reveal the underlying issue... (or at least those of us who's issue may be rooted therein)
Anyone?
I also have this problem. No one knows how to solve?
Add me to the list - this only happens for me when FCP X is running...it is nearly debilitating while trying to edit video. Tried a number of suggestions from other who generally have this problem with other software, but nothing fixes it. Keychain edits, plist file deletions, rebooting...nothing. Has anyone found a solution?
Exactly the same here. FCP X is almost unusable. Tried every suggestion I can find but nothing has worked so far.
Same problem. Server error only goes off if I connect to my NAS. I am going on a trip, and will not be able to use FCP due to this issue.
