Moving FCP to another computer

I have FCP6 loaded on two machines currently. I want to remove it it from my G5 and load it on my MBP. I also have it installed on my Mac Pro.
Do I delete the software from the G5 and just re-install FCP6 on my MBP?
Is there a license ID that needs to be dealt with?
Thanks

Downloading FCP on another computer?

Hi.
I bought FCP online.
Is it possible to put it another computer of mine?
Thank you,
Crystal

I assume you bought it at the App Store?
Go back to the app store and download it on the computer in question - you should not have to pay. It will not disable the other.
Here is the essence of the license agreement:
The Final Cut Pro X license agreement states that you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install and use the Apple Software only on Apple-branded computers that you own or control in accordance with the Mac App Store Product Usage Rules located at http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/ ("Mac Usage Rules"). Except as permitted under the Mac Usage Rules, you may not distribute or make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time."

Help with moving files to another computer

Hello. I need some help if anyone is willing. I am partially rebuilding my computer. I am replacing the hard drive and going from from XP to Windows 7. I have an eSata drive where all my XDCAM-ex footage is located and that drive is staying the same. I have a couple Encore projects as well as related Premiere projects (CS4). How do I do that and get all the files that I need? Can I just open the project, choose Save As and save the file on the eSata drive? I noticed that on Premiere pro offers a Save a copy...so that is what I have already done for that. Or is it much more compicated?
Thanks for any help,
Mark

For Premiere you will need the project file and all media assets transferred. Preview, conformed audio (.cfa) and peak files (.pek) need not be moved. Premiere will regenerate them when required. (Though there certainly is no harm in moving them as well.)
Encore needs the project file, as well as the entire project folder of the same name. Plus any assets used in the project (video/audio/menus).

Trouble with drag and moving files to another computer through network.

I have a user trying to move a(any) files from his lion laptop to his snow leopard office desktop through the network. He has no problems with moving the file from snow leopard to lion, its the other way around that doesn't work. When he first moves the files, it instantly creates the ghost file on his office desktop, it then prompts Keep both files, stop or replace. Replace will tell you there is already one there and cannot replace. Stop will keep the ghost file that gets created but there's nothing in there. Keep both files will actually keep duplicating until you hit the "X", a few seconds will get you over hundreds of these duplicated files.
Any help would be appreciated.

Moving FCP to new computer

My old G4 (Gigabit ethernet, dual 450) power supply died and left me with a mac that will not turn on at all. Finding a replacement power supply is difficult and I refuse to pay up to $300. for a refurb unit, so I searched Craigslist. I found a Quicksilver G4 for $40. so I bought that. The power supply is a bit different, so I decided to just swap out the hard drives. This worked until I tried to use FCP (version 3, upgrade from version 1.2)
When I try to use it, it tells me that the system ID is different and it wont run. It tells me to re-install from the original disks. Okay, but this does not work. I tried to re-install, but the original version, 1.2, was for OS9. I now have OSX 10.3.9 and the re-install doesn't work. FCP 1.2 will not run under Classic environment. So I am stuck. I need to get FCP back up and running.
What can I do?

The FCP System ID is serialized to the motherboard of you old computer, so it can't work.
You could try deleting the FCP System ID at Library/Appication Support/Pro Apps, but...
you have a different computer now, it might require different kernel extensions than the old one.
For a stable system, you should erase the drive, reinstall Mac OSX and all updates, then FCP and all updates. Swap the drives back and copy your irreplaceable stuff from the user folder. Software can always be reinstalled from the original discs or downloaded again.
You don't need to install a previous version. All you need is to do is install FCP 3 -the upgrade disc contains everything required for a working installation. When you enter the serial for FCP 3, you will see a dialog along the lines of:
"You have entered an upgrade serial number. Please enter the original serial number to continue".
Now enter the serial from your FCP 1.2.

Moving project to another computer with content on a different drive letter.

I have to install a Premiere Pro Film Project with almost 1 TB linked raw materual on a new computer.
on the old computer the project files were under "E" :
01_PROJECT_FILES
02_FOOTAGE
03_AUDIO
04_GRAPHICS
05_OUTPUT
06_MASTER
07_ENCODINGS
08_SUBTITLES
09_ERROR
10_AE
Except for the Folder 01_PROJECT_ FILES all other folders were empty on "E". All the folders on E are also on an external drive, which was always called "H". On the external drive all the folders are full except for the first folder 01_PROJECT_FILES which is empty. My question: where do I import/ copy the Folder from E 01_Project_Files? On the 500 GB Samsung EVO SSD, which is called "C" on my new computer or the normal drive 1000 GB HDD 5400U/min., which is called "D", or do I have to create an extra partition called "E" on my new computer? I just want to prevent to link all the raw material again to the project.
=================================
Retitled by moderator to cut to the chase.

Thank you! Its really great. Because I only had the project files on the internal drive of the old computer and all the footage on an external drive, which I always called "H", I could copy the media folder with the project files on the SSD drive of the new computer. And then I just renamed the external drive "H" and I didn't have to relink a single file. Everything was linked correctely after opening the project file (also the older versions).
Thank you! I am so happy not having to relink every single file.
Best regards!

How do I re-open my domain after moving it to another computer?

I recently got a new computer and saved my domain from my old computer on the desktop as domain copy. iWeb is not opening it! Any suggestions as to how I can open it?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Trouble moving projects from one computer to another

In the prospect of clearing up space, I am moving projects from my hard drive to an external. In order to make sure things are moving properly I open up a project from the external onto another computer, different from the one I moved the projects off of. When I open up the project, part of the original footage (.MTS file) does not show up in the timeline. The blue rectangle that represents the footage is striped. When I open up the exact same project onto the original computer from the external everything is fine.
Also, when I was opening up a project from the external to the other computer the "Locate Media" pop up appears wanting me to link all the media, but all the media has been checked off, as if all the media has already been found. Why does it do this?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
Check this out: Moving projects to another computer: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1BF3BAAB-A930-44e3-8DFA-50D5C58A1A1Aa.h tml#WS3D22F379-B6C7-4d8c-9548-26AA3E1EA74F
Likely you have some of the MTS file structure missing. The best way to move projects, IMHO, is to use the Project Manager.
Thanks,
Kevin

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

At this moment, that's correct. The OS X license included with a Mac can only be used with that Mac. However, in the case the OP has purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the past, this may change

When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.

I have a FCP event and project with all accompanying media saved on a harddrive. I am now attempting to open the files on another computer that also has FCP X. I cannot figure out how to get it to open.

The events and projects folders have to be on the top level of the drive for FCP to recognize them.

Moving music from one computer to another

I downloaded my music from another computer to an external drive, then uploaded to a new computer. I put it in the same folder as the current music from iTunes. iTunes does not recognize that the music is there. can someone help me get iTunes to see the music so it can be included on this new computer in the program?
Thanks.
Mike

Unless you've moved away from the default iTunes settings simply copying the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source machine into <User's Music> on the target computer (over a network, or via an intermediate copy on a portable drive) will transfer the library.
See this migrate iTunes library post for more.
