Drive/Event not recognized in X. Okay, that was a little scary!

Have you ever had FCPX not recognize an event that is clearly on the hard drive when starting up X? I had to re-mount the drive and restart FCPX a couple times (not sure which one was necessary) before X seen my drive and event. The drive was visible in Finder the whole time.

This can happen if you have duplicate events and/or projects mounted on more than one drive.

I've heard of this happening before. Are you on version 10.0.3? If so, move the CurrentVersion.fcpevent file to a different location, launch FCP X. This forces it to look for the backup database. If that one doesn't load, oops...

Trash prefs, repair permission, delete render files...

Hey Tom

Well actually what happen was I had disconnected my drive from the iMac and connected it up to my Mac Pro where I do also have a duplicate drive (full backup). I mistakenly mounted both drives with FCPX running. I knew that was a mistake, didn't mean to have FCPX running, I was simply connecting both drives to do another backup of changed files.

So anyway, after I connected my drive back up to my iMac that's when it didn't recognize the drive until I unmounted and mounted it a couple times and restarted FCPX. All seems to be good now though thank goodness.

Thanks Ben, I'll remember that if I have any more problems.
