Can FCP work on a macbook with 2gb ram?

I have been using it fine with all other functions but when I go to use the multiclip function it says error not enough memory?

I'd guess that the machine just isn't up to the job... There's reasons Apple doesn't support FCP on MacBook, and you're running into one of them.

  • Frequent 30 second spinning cursor in MacBook with 2GB RAM?

    I currently use a G5 dual processor desktop and a laptop daily. I just switched from a MacBook Pro to a MacBook with 2 GB of RAM. All of them have identical configurations that were copied from one machine to another over Firewire at install time.
    After switching from the MacBook Pro, I immediately noticed that it quite often "hangs" for a few seconds with a spinning cursor at strange times. It seems to do this pretty consisently when waking from sleep, but it does it many other times as well.
    I've noticed it a lot in Mail but it happens in other applications too.
    I've noticed that when it hangs, my Activity Monitor shows that the processors are NOT fully utilized.
    From reading the previous posts in the thread "Slow Performance", my experience seems to be different because I have plenty of RAM and can compare it to the same setup on a MacBook Pro but am definitely noticing slowdowns.
    Anyone else seeing this kind of "hang" or "delay" with a spinning cursor on their MacBook?
    ~Josh

    I think that my problems has been solved by tech support. They reckoned it was a problem with the power management which was resolved by the following....
    Shutdown
    restart holding CTRL ALT P & R (To resest NVRAM)
    Shutdown
    remove all peripherals, power supply AND battery.
    Hold down power button for 15 seconds
    Put the battery back in and reboot.
    After I did this I ran parralells with windows XP in it which is quite processor intensive and is the thing that will always cause my problem and the fans would kick in as normal at about 60 c, but this time the temperature actuallly went down to 55c and then would fluctuate at 57c +-2c whatever processing I was doing and NO SPINNING beachball.
    I have only test for one night but it is the first time that I have used my system without the problem since I have had it (2 weeks).
    I hope this helps someone.

  • Oracle 8.1.5 can't install on PC Server with 2GB RAM

    The Oracle Database Configration Assistant can't create a database instance.
    I have tried on several servers include DELL PE6400, HP Netserver LH3000 and so on.
    all failed . But when i change the ram size to 1GB or less, the installation
    will success.

    We have gotten it running on two RH6 machines. Took a little

    Briefly...
    * Make sure you use the latest JRE, and try using the one
    with native threads (if not you will have to hand edit the
    netasst script and remove the -native flag)
    * For some reason some of the libs that get installed are
    zero length. Find the thread on this forum where someone posted
    some sample code to recreate these. If I remember right its the
    libjni library. It is a very short easy compile.
    * Make sure you got lots of RAM (128 min) and double that in
    swap
    * Watch for binaries that get installed without the execute
    bit set. For instance I think tnslsnr is one of them, as well as
    SQLPlus. I can't remember exactly, but that's one other problem
    to watch out for.
    So far things here are working. I even tried a little java in a

  • I have a macbook with 2 512 mb ram, and wanting to at least replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS If I do that?

    I have a macbook with 1 gb ram, 2 rams with 512 mb. I am planning to replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS if I replace one of them? Please help. Thanks.

    If you want to upgrade your RAM it;s very easy on most MacBooks with the removable battery. We'll need to know the model to further advise you. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    1,1 (Early 2006) can handle 2gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    2,1 (Late 2006 & Mid 2007) can handle 3gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    3,1 (Late 2007) can handle 4gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM

  • Anyone can confirm that Lion runs as smooth as Snow Leopard with 2GB RAM?

    Hello,
    I want to install Lion on my 1st gen Air, with 2GB RAM. With Snow Leo, sometimes i have to quit Safari because of the RAM is running low.
    So i don't want to upgrade if Lion eats more RAM than Snow Leo.
    Can anyone confirm that is it worth to install Lion on a laptop with 2GB RAM?
    Thanks

    I have a late 2007 2.0GHz Macbook with 4GB of RAM. Snow Leopard ran beautifully on it ( I am a web developer and video editor ).
    I clean installed Lion last week and it is very sluggish. It'll often hang and 'spinning beach ball' when doing the simplest tasks such as trying to scroll through a web page, switch applications, open a print dialogue box, etc.
    The new UI, animations, and some of the new features of Lion are nice, but I'm considering switching back to Snow Leopard. As a power user on an "older" machine, Lion just doesn't cut it. Depending on what you use your laptop, you might have a fantastic experience with Lion. It certainly takes more video memory, so it's likely newer machines won't struggle with it at all. my concern is that the simple elements of the OS have problems running on my machine, meaning one of two things: 1) Lion is built to run well on newer machines with newer hardware or 2) Lion is built poorly. It seems more likely the former is true. in either case, if you have a "base" machine like Macbook or Mac Mini 2008 or older i'd say stick with SL. otherwise upgrade to your heart's content.

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • Performance with 2GB RAM and SSD

    I own a late 2010 MBA, 13" baseline model with 2GB RAM, w/SSD.  I am using Snow Leopard, and it runs perfectly.  I would like to upgrade to ML to sync with ipad, but a concerned with performance.  I use my MBA for word processing, emails, and internet surfing, including occasional movie downloads.  I cannot upgrade the RAM on this model.  I would therefore very much appreciate if someone who has run the latest versio of ML on this model can inform me of its performance w/2GB RAM and an SSD drive.  (I know it can run; I want to know how it runs).  Thanks very much!

    Just went through the same situation with my 2006 iMac. Technically my memory tops out at 3gigs, but I can get 4 in there if I insist (though the machine won't take full advantage).
    After a considerable amount of research, and hearing some horror stories of some folks who dove straight into Lion on older machines, I opted on upgrading memory to 3gig, backing up all my data, then running a clean install of Snow Leopard. I then reinstalled all my stuff, followed with a run of Monolingual (a shareware program that removes unnecessary languages and builds), then ran OnyX (another shareware) to run scripts and check/repair permissions.
    Works fantastic. Machine is operating perfectly on 10.6.8 and with the memory upgrade and clean drive its running faster than ever. Definite new breath of life in the machine.
    As per memory upgrade, I'd recommend going to Crucial. They're very Mac friendly, customer oriented, and reasonably priced. They have a small program you can download that scans your machine to determine the correct chip required, then brings you stright to an info and ordering page. I managed to get a 2gig chip with shipping for about $25. With the Snow Leopard upgrade total cost was under $60 for resuscitation.

  • IMac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB RAM

    The Internet is frequently very slow.  I am hard wired to the TimeWarner Motorola cable modem, but also have a new router with 5 GHz that has a Firewire port.  Would my Internet speed increase substantially by hard wiring to the router by Firewire?
    My MacBook with 4GB RAM is much faster via a wireless connection.
    Thanks very much for any ideas or comments.

    Unfortunately, connecting your iMac by Firewire directly to a router which then connects to the cable modem will Not increase the speed of your Interent connection relative to directly connecting your iMac to the cable modem.  Your iMac's network speed is at your ISP's delivered maximum directly through the cable modem.  All the router would add is the ability to share the cable modem's  output signal  among multiple connected computers. I believe you are experiencing the fact that the internal hardware (CPU, RAM, etc.) of your older iMac may be slower in processing the ISP's internet signal than your more powerful MacBook.
    Hope this helps:)

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work nicely on a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM?

    I want to get FCPX but I am not sure if it will be so good on this Macbook Pro... Will it work decently on it even with just 2GB RAM and a Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz and a 13" screen? I also have the lastest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Check here to see if your graphics card is supported. Core i5 is fine, 8 GB RAM is fine but more is better.
    You will need fast external drives (FW800 or TB). FCP X has a fully functioning trial version.

  • Xcode/eclipse C++ on 11" MacBook Air with 2GB RAM, OS X Lion and 64GB SSD?

    Hey, I'm planning on getting a 11" MacBook air with a 2GB RAM, 64GB HDD and OS X Lion. I am also going to get a 500GB external HDD with it and I would just like to know if it would be good to run Xcode or eclipse on it so I can code C++? Please note that I will install Xcode/eclipse to the external HDD If that affects the performance? Thanks.

    I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. I have both XCode and Eclipse. It should work fine.

  • Can I get the new MacBook with a 1 tb Hard Drive?

    Well very good looking the new (GOLD) MacBook announced on Monday 9 March 2015.  But with just one USB-C port this means having a number of adapters with me at all times ---
    But the big concern is whether I can get at least 1 tb of storage space.  I have a 5 year old MB Pro with a 500 gb SSD and I removed the Optical Drive to install a 500 gb HD.  Now 5 years later…  Am I going to be limited to 8 gb of memory and 500 gb of storage space?  Not a lot of progress there!
    I know I can move to the 13" MacBook Pro and get more connection possibilities plus 16 gb of RAM and a 1 TB drive - but I would like to purchase the latest technology (especially since I keep my Macs a long time! - My 1989 SE is still running OS 6.0.4…  --- OK I'm not planning on 26 year lifespans but hey, 5 years, yes, please!)
    Any comments appreciated.  I see where they say one can move to 1.3 gHz (turbo to 2.9) - but I don't see where to select that on the Apple Store -- and I see nothing about where to select 16 gb of RAM  nor a 1 tb SSD.
    Thanks for any comments or opinions or web links!

    Wow this is a great reply!  I did not mean to imply that I would consider or even imagine that a 5200 rpm Hard Drive or anything like that would work with the new MacBook – but what I had NOT considered was that a standard SSD like I have in my MBP-13" (2010 mode)l would also NOT FIT in this almost iPad thin new MacBook!  Of course you are 100% right - it is going to be a real special flash drive -- and yet I am surprised that a 1 tb is not at least offered - even if for $400 or so more--- and I think this is so they have some way to differentiate the MacBook (new) with the MB Air and the MB Pro. 
    Certainly tempting!  I will wait to see what Belkin and others offer as to docks - and also to see if Apple doesn't offer a 1 tb option within a year.
    Thanks for your fine reply!!!!!!

  • 2010 Macbook Air with 4GB RAM or 2011 Macbook Air with 2GB RAM

    So I am looking a the following 2 Reforebished Macbook Air models:
    Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC968LL/A
    Originally released July 2011
    11.6-inch (diagonal) high-resolution LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
    2GB memory
    64GB flash storage
    Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
    FaceTime camera
    Intel HD Graphics 3000
    $789
    Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/G0JK0LL/A
    Originally released October 2010
    11.6-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
    4GB memory
    128GB flash storage
    NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics
    FaceTime camera
    $799
    So my main question is which is better, the core 2 duo with 4GB of memory and 128GB of storage, or is the intel core i5 with 2GB of memory and 64GB of storage better? There is only a $10 differnce so the price doesnèt matter to me.

    i would go with the one with more RAM and larger SSD.
    Simple reason - you can't upgrade it in the future.
    Sure the other one has a faster processor but what's the use of having a faster processor if you only have 2GB of RAM?
    The other one is newer, but again, you can't upgrade it.
    That's the reason why it's also cheaper........

  • Can i work in Aperture 3 with photos on external disk?

    I have a small disk (300GB).
    I have about of 60000 photos on my 1TB external disk.
    Can i work in Aperture, with my photos on my external disk, or first i need to import all my photos into my Mac Pro?
    If the Tutorial of Aperture 3 tell me, when i work one photo in Aperture 3, first i need to import all photos to program. Then i need import all photos to my little hard disk in Mac Pro.
    I´m a little confused.
    Is possible anybody tell me something about this?
    Best regrads

    I am currently using a MacBook Pro 15" 2.66 8GB DDR3 (June 2009) with a LCD 24" Cinema Display.
    Personally I do not store any of my images (over 20,000 Raw) in the computer or reference them (MacBook Pro). I use external Firewire 800 portable hard drives. I use both OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro 500GB and Iomega 500GB eGo Portable Mac Edition Hard Drive. When importing to Aperture 3.1 library (portable external hard drives) I also backup images to another drive at the time of the import. I use the Vault to backup Aperture 3 Library. Besides my main drive (external) I have two drives that I use for the Vault backup. So now I have backup images and two library backups. I am thinking of going to a 3rd vault on another portable hard drive and store that one in my safety deposit box.
    I have found that the firewire 800 works extremely fast with Aperture 3.1.

  • Just bought a Macbook pro 17" 2.16 with 2gb ram and 500gb 5400 HD. IT RUNS VERY SLOW, even with fresh install of X 10.6, what do I do?

    So I just bought a great condition Macbook pro 17" with 2gb of ram, and the last owner upgraded the HD to a 500gb toshiba 5400rpm HD....the computer is VERY slow....when loading up anything it take forever, and watching video's freezes it for a few seconds then starts for a 1-3 seconds then freezes again....what can I do? I really like the laptop, but hate the performance...and I don't want to go buy another one....but I have considered a SSD....any idea's before I do that?
    Thanks.

    How much hard drive space do you have left?
    Sluggish Finder - Bunch of icons on your desktop?  An overcrowded desktop slows down your Mac.
    Get rid of needless Finder calculations - Open a window in Finder/View/Show View Options:  ensure "Calculate All Sizes" option is unchecked.
    Internet related - It's likely that your broadband connection is the bottleneck.  You can check your speed on http://www.speedtest.net to see how fast your connection is.  If your web browser specifically performs slowly, quit and relaunch it.
    If browser remains sluggish, empty its cache.
    Safari/Empty Cache
    Firefox/Preferences - select the Network tab of the Advanced preferences and click the "Clear Now" button in the "Offline Storage" area.
    Application related - Launch "Activity Monitor" - Applications/Utilities - click the CPU heading and see what float to the top.  If an application takes up a large chunk of CPU and won't let it go, it could be dragging down your Mac's performance.  Quit it by clicking the Quit Process button at the top of the Activity Monitor window.
    Too little ram - max out your ram.
