I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings If yu can see the screen enough to do it)
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem.

The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)? I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to. Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad. PLease help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

I have the new Air Port Extreeme model A1521 and I need to set up port forwarding for HTTP. HTTP is not on the list in the set up. Does anyone know if any of those choices work for HTTP?

I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC and right now there is no Airport utility for setting up the new Apple Extreme so you have to do it on your iPad or iPhone. Does anyone know how to set up port forwarding for HTTP to get to DVR security cameras? There is nothing in the list that indicates HTTP port forwarding.

Thanks for your reply Tesserax as I did figure this out on my own. It took a bit because all of the options are not clear what they are for like the previous Airport Extreme and Apple does not support or guarantee that port forwarding will work for you application nor did any of the Apple support persons I spoke too have any knowledge for this feature. You also have to fill in the public if you are viewing through someone else's Wi-Fi or on your cell phone carrier network. This new Airport Extreme is a bit different since you cannot use the Airport utility on a PC like the older model and if anyone else is reading this they should be aware that if you do not have an Apple computer, iPhone or iPad and I'm not sure if some of the other network enabled devices like iPod Touch that you must use that can do it, there is no Airport utility for the PC and you would be wasting your money or have to take it back and get another brand wireless router to use if you do not own any of the above mentioned Apple products.

I have been noticing videos on hulu, youtube and even itunes have been downloading slow and pausing in the middle of watching them. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? Someone told me its my media player, but I am not sure what to do.

Hello and welcome to the support community
You only option is to buy a copy of Mac OS X, either the retail disk or system disks.
There are places you can by a copy of Mac OS X, like online vendors, Amazon or eBay.
System disk are gray and come with more than one disk. Retail disk are black with a 'X' on them and often come as one DVD disk.
Not sure what version your going to require as you haven't provided any specification and model details.
I would safely assume being a G4, it would be happy to install Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
If you could let us know the PowerBook you own, then I am sure we could advise you further.
Best of luck

can you see the wi-fi address in the about? if it show N/A, your iphone needs to be repaired.
if your ios is 5.1.1 or you can see the wi-fi address,you could try to connect your iphone to the itunes to restore and update.

If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

TS1381 Numbers one through nine have randomly stopped working on my built in Keyboard. Does anyone know why? I have a MacBook Air.

I was on a website and I had to type in a quantitiy in numbers when I realized that one through nine on my built in keyboards on my macbook stopped working. Shift doesn't change anything. I was switching back and forth between a word document and the website. When I turn on my keyboard viewer and press down on the number it does not become highlighted in the viewer. I'm clueless. Does anyone know what to do to get my numbers working again?

BDAqua
I accidentally hit the numlock key recently on my Pismo - this disables the number keys 1 2 3 4 5 & 6 is actually 'clear' and switches the
7 8 9
u i o
j k l
m
to
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
0
Now I know that the MacBook Air and many more Macs have discontinued the 'numlock' KEY and therefore its function, BUT it got me to thinking, so I did a little Google research...
It seems that quite a few Apps have functions associated with the 'numeric keypad' that can be achieved on laptops that have none by engaging the numlock.
There was a workaround for MBAir (et al) - plug-in a USBkeyboard that DOES have numlock and voila! - the COMPUTER & OS function fine.
I wonder what would happen if one were to plug in a USB keyboard > engage the numlock > press keys on the laptop keyboard? Both would work, I think.
If so, what would happen if one were to leave the numlock engaged and UNPLUG the USB keyboard? Would the computer know to disengage the numlock function? If not, would it require replugging the USB to disengage? Would restarting reset it? If this function is happening in software (it is in fact as there are many Apps that can assign functions to keys and so does OS X in Tiger's Keyboard & Mouse PrefPane > Keyboard Shortcut TAB - tons of 'em!!)
Could the Original Problem here be in software? Some App running that hijacked the keyboard while active in the browser? He did say it went away!! and would look into it when returned from trip.

Does anyone know what driver I need to download for my shuffle to work?

I posted my problem previously in "My shuffle must have transcended the time-space continuum!"
In the meantime, I called Apple Care. Great job, very polite and helpful. Thank you Apple!!
Together the agent and I discovered that my Toshiba laptop does not have the drivers needed in order for the ipod to be recognized. Without said driver, I won't be able to use my ipod at all. She said that even with the article that Apple Support has about Toshiba laptops and ipod, that there are still kinks in it.
So, my question is this...do any of you people out there who are more computer literate than I am know what I should look for to download? The Apple agent didn't know what specific driver I should look for. If anyone knows, please help!
In the meantime, I'm going to peruse Toshiba's website and see if I can find anything.

I had the same suggestion given to me by Apple... I went to my USB card manufacturer website (In my case, VIA Communications) and got some info on their forum.
The most I can understand right now (although I haven't solved my own iPod problem) is that first, you should try updating drivers by right-clicking everything individually in the Device Manager under the "USB" section, and clicking on "Update Driver." Also, make sure you have Windows Service Pack 2, and try updating all of your drivers by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ . The Toshiba website might have a driver update or a patch, also... I'd look around, anyway.
I updated my drivers (which didn't work), and then I came across a paragraph on VIA's website that says:
"Through feedback in the forums and hundreds of emails over the years, we know that technical support hot-lines for many peripheral (as in printer/scanner/camera etc) manufacturers, tell their customers to "update the drivers" or "update the controller". ... The controller cannot be updated without updating your motherboard to a motherboard that has a later revision controller. ... This is inbuilt and cannot be updated. The advice you received to update the driver or controller, probably means that they recommend that you update the VIA chipset or platform drivers. ... it may well be that the peripheral USB device you want to install is too new for your motherboard and therefore not compatible."
Basically, this means that if it doesn't work after the driver update, it may not be a driver issue, but a power issue.
I've been told (not by Apple) to try buying an external USB hub that plugs into the wall. I haven't yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post whether or not it works, lol. For other people, an internal USB2.0 PCI card worked, but I'm not sure if laptops work with them...
Hope you (and I, and everyone) get it figured out!

Does anyone know if any usb keyboards will work with a imac g3

Do all usb keyboards and mice work with the imac g3

Jimmer,
Just a note on PC keyboard function keys. The windows function keys work but you will get frustrated by the location of the command key. The 'undo' and 'cut' and 'copy' and 'paste are z x c and v but the command key on a PC keyboard is where the 'control' key is on a mac. You will be giving the wrong command if you use the mac key location and the PC location is a stretch for your thumb to reach. There is no harm done by plugging in another brand of USB device.

Does anyone know if AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows will work on Windows 8?

I have just purchased an airport express and need to install airport utility for windows v5.6.1. I am currently running vista and the software wouldnt load so thinking about upgrading but would like to skip straight to windows 8 (which I can do) but I cannot verify anywhere that the airport utility will work as it only states Windows 7.

Thanks mende1
It seems there are strange compatability issues......the specs for the Airport Express Base Station on the Apple website state:
- that the station will work with Windows 7 or later. This would imply it works with Windows 8 but is useless if there is no utility to support this.
- that Shared Printing with a USB Printer will work with Windows Vista but again there is no utility software that will work on Vista so again it is a redundant specification.
So for PC users the new Airport Express will only work if you are running Windows 7??
