Can you transfer final cut pro x to another computer with the same apple account?

I want to get Final Cut Pro X right away so I can start editing videos for my youtube channel, but I'm am also planning to get a Macbook Pro for school this year. Is it possible for me to buy & use Final Cut Pro X on my current macbook now, and then later copy and/or transfer the application to my new computer? Both computers would be run by the same apple account. Thanks! Please reply.

Hello There,
I'm not sure of how many in total you can have, but you can have FCPX on both your computers you just can't use them at the same time.

    How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

    As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
    In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.

  • Can a standard Adobe ID Suite be installed on more than one computer? If not; how can an educator buy a second seat on another computer with the same educators account?

    Adobe requires an ID account to install software on a single computer. However I have a portable Mac as well as a desktop system. Can I install another copy with the monthly paid installation on the second computer or do I need to buy another seat with the same account?

    Hey tferm78!
    I have a couple of options for you to consider. First, you may simply want to authorize all of your computers for your iTunes account and turn on Automatic Downloads, so that when you download something on one computer, it will automatically download to other computers:

    You could also look into iTunes Match, a service that would seamlessly link all of your iTunes libraries:

    Lastly, here is an article that will help you move your library from one computer to another, if you so desire:

  • Can you sync ibooks from an iMac to MacBook Air with the same apple id?

    Can you sync ibooks from an iMac to a macbook air with the same apple id?  Settings set to allow this.

    If the ibooks were purchased from Apple, and download new purchases is selected in iBooks preferences, then yes.

  • Can you use final cut pro and logic, after effect with lion operating system or not

    PS I had no problem exporting previous projects - proof that I had Compressor!!!!!!
    Actually, no. Compressor is a separate application is NOT required in order to export from FCP X. Lots of people buy FCP X but not Compressor.
    Something in your system got hosed.
    I suggest you delete FCP X completely from your system using FCS Remover, and then download it from your Purchases in the App Store.

  • HT1657 Can I transfer a standard definition rental between two computers with the same account?

    So, I rented a movie on my work computer and haven't had time to watch it just yet and it's expiring in 4 days. So, naturally, reading the documentation here that says the following:
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    I moved the rental to my MacBook Pro, expecting to be able to watch it there. However, when I add it to my iTunes library on my MBP (with the same iTunes account), I get an error saying that it isn't authorized to play the content.
    What's the deal? Am I missing something, or doesn't it seem like I should be able to transfer it between computers? Do I need to delete the one off my work computer first?

    Sorry but no. Rentals cannot be transferred from one computer to another. As the instructions said, you can only move a rental from a computer to a iOS-based device or back from that device to the computer on which the rental was first downloaded.
    Regards.

  • How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

  • Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

    Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account?  Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

  • I got a second iPad in the family.  Can we use it with the same Apple account and name?

    We got a second iPad in the family, cna we use it with the same Apple name and account?

    Yes you can, and it's then up to you whether to have the same the same or different content to the older one. When you sync to it your computer for the first time it may be best to give it a different name, just so that you can distinguish them.

  • Can you download final cut pro 7 on the newest MacBook Air?

    Can this work?

    Yeah, I've googled around and the only thing I'm worried about is the graphics card, the graphics card on the newest version of the MacBook Air is an Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory3 and final cut pro 7 says that it works with NVIDIA or ATI so will this work?

  • Transfer a final cut pro project to another computer

    I would like to take an entire project and open it on another computer (final cut pro). It's a 30-second spot, so there's not a lot of content, but I'm not sure how to go about saving all the pertinent files to DVD. What files do I need to copy to ensure it makes it to its destination without forgetting something...?
    Thank you in advance

    First you'll need your FCP project file. The other computer will need to be running the EXACT same version if you want to swap back and forth. Then gather all your assets like video, photos, graphics and re-link these in your new project.
    Or you could try media manager. I have good luck with it, others do not. Both methods pretty simple once you've done it. Good luck,

  • Final Cut Pro X is KILLING me with the lagging! Please help!

    All of my work takes about 6 times longer than necessary now that I am using Final Cut Pro X on a brand new MAC. Processoor is 3.5 Ghz, Intel i7, memory is 16G, 1600 MHZ.
    I just don't understand the problem. I am working off an external G Drive with Thunderbolt - which, of course, I had to purchase since Mac did away with the Firewire where all of my previous work was located but that's another story...
    I currently produce short 1 to 5 minute pieces for work but it's a nightmare trying to get them done. I can't imagine anyone being able to do a movie on this program. Should I just give up and go to a PC and Sony Vegas or learn Adobe? I like Final Cut Pro but it's litterally slowing me down and I cannot figure it out. We've spent a fortune at work on Macs and constantly changing software and cables and programs. I now just think Apple is MEAN. It's like they are out to torture us all.

    We're missing some information here but I don't know what.   Maybe you're doing a 6multicam edit?  A typical iMac will have no problem with 5min edits using H264. You might trash FCP prefs..reinstall it...
    If you have some data on your local drive and some on an external...or your external is nearly full....  or you have 20 different programs cranking away in the background...
      There are things you can do to get FCPx to choke, but I have no idea what could be causing the slowdown. It's not FCPx itself....
       Is it a legitimate, up to date copy of FCPx ?  Do you have some nasty add-on installed on your computer...some anti virus program or could your new iMac still be working through the Spotlight checks, reading your hard drive?  It's going to take some investigation but again, it's no a simple FCPx issue. Plenty of folks use it with no speed problems.  You might simply optimize your clips and create proxies and go from there till you figure out what the issue really is.

  • When opening Final Cut Pro it keeps getting stuck with the loading circle and I have to force the quit so please help?

    I have a Macbook Air, still fairly new from July 4, 2014. Yesterday, I was editing some footage in Final Cut Pro, and the colored spinning circle kept popping up. I continuously forced the quit, as I couldn't do anything, and then I restarted and looked for updates (though there was none). I then deleted the app and reinstalled it, but it's still giving me the same problem. This morning, I created a new user account, and Final Cut Pro works on that account, but it took some time to find the exported video (I actually had to turn it off and turn it back on to find the video). Later today, I went onto the main account, where Final Cut Pro isn't working, and it's still giving me trouble, and then the Picture Preview program got stuck, as well, twice, where I had to also force it to quit. What's happening? How do I fix this problem?

    The info given below might help but if it doesn't, I'm sure other people will give you useful suggestions.
    Corrupt preferences can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be one of the first things you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

    My wife and I are connected to the same Apple ID we would like to use Find My Friends to follow each other but only one of use shows up on the map,

    The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account.  If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
    If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On.
