Hi Just got a iMac A1418.21.5 I am looking for some advice on what Final Cut Pro  series would work well with this set up ? regards

How much Ram? Final Cut Pro X is the only version curently developed and is available on the App Store.

  • I have brought a 17'' MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 duo 2gb. Model A1261. It seems I can upgrade to either 8gb or 16gb ram! But since It's 2006'ish, I just want some advice on the best ram that would work for a good price. Thanks :)

    8 gb will do I guess
    Based on the information that you have supplied, you have a Early or Late 2008 MBP.  Maximum RAM that it will accept is 6 GB with the following specifications:   200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.
    The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

  • If I own a Macbook pro and an iMac can I have final cut pro downloaded to both with one purchase?

    If you purchase Final Cut Pro X at the Mac App Store, you can install it in all your Macs free of charge as many times as you want. The same applies for all the applications you purchase at the Mac App Store

  • Just looking for some advice at this stage

    Hello all, been a while since I posted here... That's cause it's been a while since I've upgraded :D
    Anyway, I'm just planning my build now and I want to check up on a few things... I'm going Conroe obviously (E6600) but I'm not decided on which flavour of board I'll go for just yet. Depending on what AMD/ATi pull out of the bag it'll either be the 975X or a P6N SLI (in some form or other). At this point three things are on my mind:
    1. I want to go for 4Gb of (matched) RAM on two sticks... anything I need to be aware of regarding 2Gb module compatibility? Any makes to avoid (OCZ seem to be unpopular in that regard).
    2. I'd like to move to a SATA optical drive, and issues there? Makes to avoid etc. especially in the case of the 975X as the tested hardware list only seems to include PATA drives.
    3. What the recommended Amperage on the 12V line these days? I'm currently looking at the 620W Corsair PSU as a safe bet, other recommendations are welcome though.
    Thanks for any advice/opinions offered in advance... hopefully with a bit more info this time I'll be able to avoid trouble shooting posts :D
    Gift.

    Right so I've done it, two PCs at the spec posted in my sig...
    They seem to be working fine, nice and stable but a few little niggles I'd like to sort:
    1. Updating the Mobo drivers, live update doesn't seem to like Vista so should I just DL the ones on the mobo main page?
    2. Vista seems to behave strangely when it greys out the screen to indicate a UAC box needs attention. It fades in ok on both PCs but seems to flicker off once I'm done with the box in a way that seems to render the graphics weirdly. I wouldn't go so far to describe it as graphical corruption more like a kind of rendering lag... Anyone else noticed this, I've an idea uptodate mobo/gfx drivers might be the problem (I've just gone with the stuff vista DL'ed installed, for me) but otherwise all good games run stably so far (touch wood).
    I'm off for a night of installing software :D Deep joy.
    Gift.
    PS sorry this was late, parts got delayed in the post :D And I had no probs with my RAM if peeps are interested.

  • Just looking for some advice for a Networking 'noob'

    Hey folks,
    I manage the post-production workflow for a small agency. We're getting ready to move into a new office space, and we'll be looking to make some upgrades to our video workflow and data management.
    At the current time, we have two G5s (PowerPCs) and a new Intel Mac Pro. We may be adding a fourth (or even fifth) workstation. We shoot everything on the DVX (24p DV), but we're also (strongly) considering upgrading to an HD workflow and investing in a few HVX packages so we can have the option of shooting 720p. We will NOT be shooting anything higher than that, (no uncompressed, digibeta, no 1080p, etc.)
    Right now, when we need to access media from other computers, we simply use the AppleTalk feature of our internal ethernet and mount the drives remotely. This actually works fairly well, and we usually don't have any issues with latency. But it becomes frustrating at times when we want to search for a particular media file or FCP project file and we can't remember which drive it was stored on. We'd like to have all of our editing workstations be able to access the same media simultaneously in one shared 'Mother Ship.'
    I guess my question is: What should we get? Final Cut Server? G-Raid? Xsan?
    I'm not really an IT guy, so I can't say I really know the differences between these different options, but any advice you can offer would be most appreciated.
    And as for budget, we're prob looking to spend something in the range of $8,000-$10,000 dollars on this new system. (that's NOT including the HVXs, of course.
    qp

    Ok... here we go, not sure what you are doing except editing DV right now,
    but this will work for HDV, DVCPROHD, Uncompressed SD and some ProRes
    as long as you have a good Gigabit Router to transfer files. Please consult
    a professional if this sounds scary to you.
    *Redundant FILE SERVER* for project files, important stuff
    1. Install at least 4GB RAM in G5 #1 (max $200)
    3. Make sure there are two identical SATA drives in the G5. Install OSX Leopard Server ($499) on 1 drive. Use Carbon Copy Cloner (Free... http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) and clone
    the main drive to SATA drive #2 when drive #1 is set up completely. Use drive #2 as backup.
    4. Connect CalDigit 2.56TB HDOne External Hard Drive Array (RAID-5) with PCI-X adapter ($2830)
    SubTotal: $3600...ish
    *Current MacPro* Add unprotected scratch disk for main edit suite
    1. Install Sonnet Tempo SATA e4p Serial ATA Host Adapter ($260)
    2. Connect Sonnet 2.5TB Fusion D500P eSATA Array System (RAID-0) ($1700)
    Subtotal: $2000...ish
    *2nd G5* convert to p2 Logging/backup Station
    1. Sony BWU-200S Internal 4x Blu-ray Disc Rewritable Drive (599.95)
    2. Roxio Toast ($85)
    SubTotal: $700
    *NEW Intel MacPro* will increase productivity
    1. 8 Core 3ghz Intel MacPro ($3600)
    Total: Around 9900-10,000
    (Buy from PowerMax.com or other out of state vendor to avoid sales tax)
    If you want to organize things, then FCS will help. You can install
    on G5#2 for 999.00 more. I would focus on hardware first though.

  • How do I transfer/place my existing Final Cut Pro X on my new iMac?

    I have been using Final Cut Pro X on a Mac Book Pro. I just upgraded to an iMac 27". How do I transfer/add my existing download of Final Cut Pro X to my new iMac?

    CCopy it from one machine to the other. You can use a jump drive, the app isn't that big. You will have to download the additional content on the other machine.

  • I just got an imac and i can't access my itunes.  my old computer was a f***ing dell, ugh.  can i do this or do I have to create a new apple account?

    just got an imac and I cant access my itunes.  old computer was a dell, do I have to create a new apple account?

    Apple does not want you to have two iTunes accounts so perhaps it would be better to cancel the account you used with your Dell and launch a new account for your nice new iMac.   If you cannotmake contact with the original details go to ...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store.
    From there you could negotiate the cancellation process.

    check the lower right corner of the iTunes window
    if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

    no.
    that's expected behavior.

  • I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

    I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

    To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
    Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
    Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.

    Probably a PC issue, you can try calling AppleCare, you are covered for 90 days from the date of purchase and can find the phone number in the owners manual. Also please look over:

    Thomas,
    It would also be extremely helpful to those trying to help you if you complted your Profile so we at least know what iMac and version of OS X is installed. Click Your Stuff in the upper right then click Profile and complete the necessary fields including what part of the planet you're located.

  • HT1414 I just got a new iPhone 4 and I tried to download some songs from my itunes account and it bricked my phone so now my new phone is locked and I can't use it. What can I do to resolve this?

    I just got a new iPhone 4 and i tried to download some songs from my itunes account onto my phone and it bricked my phone! So I can't use my phone, it's locked. It shows a plug going into an adaptor frozen on my phone. How can I resolve this problem? I got my phone at Verizon yesterday so I went back to see if they could help me today and they didn't know anything about it at the Verizon store. Theyy said to try IMac store here in town...

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
    UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first.  Then use mine if that fails.

    Hello pichastos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.
