New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.

I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL. Is it not compatible? Is it really a PowerPC program??? I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago! Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.

How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.

Try downloading them onto the iPad normally. If you're asked to pay for them, you can't.
The developer needs to create the two versions separately.

New Mac Pro With Lion

I'm recieving my new Mac Pro tomorrow. It will have LIon on it. I never used Lion, and would like to knowif my apps are universal applications will they run under Lion?

We already know that the Mac Pro has not changed for two years and even when they shipped with Lion you could still order the OEM DVD from Apple with 10.6.4 build from July 2010.

New Mac Pro with Thunderbolt and USB 3.0

it is exceedingly frustrating to be waiting with no surety that there will be an upgraded Thunderbolt and USB3.0 Mac Pro in the pipeline. professional doing advanced graphics and video need this and need it now and need for certain a time schedule to plan partial investment in new Equipment. Apple has let is down for two years now and surely the second largest corporation on the planet can afford the R and D for it and certainly it would cost the company nothing to let us in on this schedule. there is no real competition for this. it is not giving away any advantage but it certainly would give is some ammunition to prevent bean counters from instituting a wholesale move to Dell or others. We need some serious upgrading and we need a heads up on when.

The iMac would require a Magma outboard PCIx box that doubles the cost of the IMac and still does not do the job. that approach is a kludge to try to use an amateur user machine to do what a professional workstation can do, with The assorted updates I applied to my Mac Pro though it is not as fast at processing as the top of the line iMac it was much more flexible, can run many screens without having to buy new thunderbolt screens and with USB 3 and eSATA cards bypass reasonably the lack of Thunderbolt in the short term but it is a ridiculous and non Mac way to have to run,my work station. And..I am sure I am not alone...Apple better get their act together in the professional market or they will have kissed off many of is in another year.. that would be a huge pity. As well the iMac screen is insufficient and lacks a full Adobe colour palette and its incorrect black levels and inability to be controlled by such tools as a Huey make the screen good only for menus and control panels. that is why I still use the Mac 30 inch and also a Dell 30 inch screen as they can be calibrated accurately which the iMac can not. the only solution is a new Mac Pro. for the contributor who suggested I contact feedback already regarding this..I had done that but I figured that they must scan the discussion groups to find out what customers feel about user situations and the more responses to my comments the better the argument for new hardware.

Most likely won't run SL unless it's one that was released before Lion went public. Color SL gone from new Macs.

Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite

Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite. Old applications still work on older Mac Pro. Can't download any applications. Creative Cloud website and desktop app both fail. Very frustrating. Anyone having this problem?

Chas50 I would recommend removing the currently installed Adobe Creative software. You can then install the new versions of the Adobe Creative software included with your membership. You can find complete details regarding the uninstall and install process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!

Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back up with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days

I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back it up, with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days. Any Ideas? Im afraid that means there is something wrong with my hard drive. I have verified the disk and it says everthing is ok.

It seems to be a common problem that those drives don't perform well, at least not with Time Machine.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

How do I get Mac Pro with Lion Server to restart at a set time when users are connected?

I have recently configured a Mac Pro with Lion Server, and have set it to restart automatically every morning at 3am. When I arrive in the morning, I notice that it has not rebooted, usually because it states there are users connected. Is there a way to automatically disconnect users so that the machine will reboot. No one is ACTIVELY connected at this time of the morning, but may still be logged in somewhere. I did see where I can log out users after a set period of time when using Workgroup Manager to manage a computer or computer group, but I don't use the server to manage all of the computers that have users log in.
Thanks!

Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be each and every night, but it was for the sole purpose of preventing sluggishness. We had it set up before, as Snow Leopard Server and it would restart every night. It would occasionally be slow and need rebooting, however a manual reboot was not possible by most people in the store as they did not have credentials to screen share and restart it - which would result in holding down the power button to shut it down.
The server is used for the sole purpose of logging in about 50 users just so they can customize their experience, as well as saving items to their own home folders. The store is closed during the night, and there is no reason anyone would be accessing it during the night.
