Can I add final cut pro to more than one Mac?

I'm gonna buy final cut pro 5.1 and I wanted to know if I need to buy 2 or can I just get 1 and put it on both my Macs. I also wanted to know if this will work for Shake 4.1, Logic pro 7, Office 2004.

It will work on both simultaneously as long as you take one of the computers off your network while editing. Might be a violation of their licensing agreement though. Not sure about that. I have the same copy of FCP on my desktop and laptop but only use the laptop for remote editing when the desktop is not practical.

  • Final Cut Pro X-More than one computer?

    Can Final Cut Pro X be installed on more than one computer with the same Apple ID?

    Wow, thanks Tom! I was trying to make sense of Apple's license agreement mouse type, and there was no clear indication of that. Because I have a desktop machine, and a roaming laptop, I wasn't sure if I had to spend that $299.99 twice...thanks, again! Cheers, Tony

  • Can't share final cut pro latest version across my macs.

    I have purchased, for quite a bit of money, the latest Final Cut Pro for my macbook pro - 10.5.6, I think it is , -  I really find all these decimal numbers meaningless, confusing and difficult to remember.
    Still, I want to share the purchased fcp app so I can use it also on my macbook air.
    Trouble is, my macbook pro runs on snowleopard, and the macbook air, which I bought more recently runs on  mountain lion,.. no, just  Lion....
    This latest version of FCP is not supported by Lion (10.7.4), so my macbook air can't download it.
    The solution to this  problem may seem obvious to many, but I can't see it. And the problem is just nuts!
    Any clues as to how to get my  - later version - macbook air to work with the latest version of Final Cut Pro would be much appreciated. Taa

    Sigh, the wink at the bottom really doesn't help you to get away with the patronism in your answer you know.
    I know what OSX systems each of my macs run - 10.6.8 for the mcp and 10.7.4 for the mbair. 
    I don't want to "stress software update in the same apple menu" and move from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, because its my understanding from researching reviews on this forum, and from my own experience that updating the operating systems on macs can cause hassle. If I am wrong in this then thats my learning.
    Finally, with regards to my expectations, it was a trainer at an applestore , fully aware that I was using these two operating systems, who suggested I upgrade my final cut pro. My expectations were that he knew what fcps compatibilities were.
    Finally, what kind of company releases an upgrage system is compatible with an earlier version of its own software (10.6.8), but not with a later one (10.7.4). I do have expectations of apple being better than this.
    This is only the second time I've come onto an apple forum to ask a genuine question that foxes me, and the second time I've received the kind of reply that its intended to put one down. Be aware of how your answers come across please.

  • Can't add a goods-issue with more than one item and one is serial managed.

    Hi,
    We are trying to issue more than one item to a production order using the DI API.  If none of the items is serial managed, they all are accepted and the goods-issue Add is successful.  If one the items is batch-managed, the goods-issue Add is also successful.  I am able to add the goods-receipt if I it contains only one item and it is serial-number managed.  However, if I’m issuing more than one item and one or more of the items is serial number managed, then the DI API will not add the goods-issue.  The error message that appears refers to an item that is not among the items being issued.  The message is:
    -10: (IGE1.WhsCode)(line: 3), ‘Item ‘A00006        ‘ with system serial 1 is not in stock.’
    Again item A00006 is not even in the group of items being issued.
    The code I am using for the serial number part is:
    With oGoodsIssue.Lines.SerialNumbers
              .SystemSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("SysSerial").Value
              .ManufacturerSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("MfrSN").Value
              .InternalSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("IntrSerial").Value
              .SetCurrentLine(n)
              .Add()
              rs.MoveNext()
              n += 1
    End With
    The rs is a recordset that the code is looping through as the serial numbers are being added.
    The error message does not occur during this code.  It occurs when it tries to add the full goods-receipt.  Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Try to do the ".Add" only if you need it. Doing a ".add" without assignation may cause the error you have.
    I guess your n variable start at 1 or 0, so you could put code like this :
    With oGoodsIssue.Lines.SerialNumbers
    if n = 0 then (or 1, also I don't the correct syntax of your programming language)
    .Add()
    end if
    .SystemSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("SysSerial").Value
    .ManufacturerSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("MfrSN").Value
    .InternalSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("IntrSerial").Value
    .SetCurrentLine(n)
    rs.MoveNext()
    n += 1
    End With

  • Can I use a magic trackpad with more than one Mac at a time?

    I am attempting to pair a MTP with a second MacBook Pro.  So far I can't get system preferences to find the MTP.
    I am wondering whether the MTP can be paired with only one Mac at a time, and that this is why my MBP won't find it.
    The reason I am thinking this is because the little booklet that comes with the MTP says 'after you pair your MTP with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac.  To do this, you first remove the existing pairing and then pair the trackpad again'.
    Can anyone advise, please?
    If it can be paired with more than one MBP at a time, any suggestions why my system preferences search for the MTP is not producing any results?
    Thanks

    Yes, your keyboard, mouse or trackpad can be paired with multiple Macs.  You can even have multiple keyboards, mice or trackpads paired with one Mac.  The caveat is that the device can only be connected to one Mac at a time.  The device can't be paired or connected with a Mac while it's currently connected to another.
    Pairing a device with 2 Macs will be troublesome if the Macs are located within 33 ft of each other.  The device will connect with the first available paired Mac and then unavailable to the second.   If the Macs are located outside the 10meter range, it's quite easy to power off the keyboard (forcing a disconnect) then walking the keyboard to Mac 2 and powering the keyboard on.   I do this with a keyboard from my iMac to a Mac Mini in another room.

  • What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X

    What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X?  Wondering if there is a solution under 100.00 or do I need to think a bit more. Thank you.

    Have been doing this for some time, my setup:
    I use an ancient "Symphonic" VCR player connected to an Elgato Eyetv Hybrid USB dongle.  That plugs into my G5 Mac, 10.5.8, which runs Eyetv software v. 2.5.3.
    Recording is dead simple after fiddling around a bit with software settings for channel, etc.  Start the player, hit "record" on the software and wait for the end.
    The recording is saved in some obscure ".eyetv" format with file size about 4 GB per hour of recording.  The software has export to a variety of formats including QT Movie which results in a substantially larger file size.
    Quality?  Well, it's viewable and usable for archive purposes.  I'm fine with it but more discriminating folks may want something better.  I end up burning the video on a DVD using iDVD and that's not the greatest anyway.
    There are various Elgato units available, and the Eyetv Hybrid seems to run bout $130.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can't Find Final Cut Pro with my admin user!

    It was there, but I changed the name from the person I bought the macbook15 from and now all the settings and apps are set default.
    Is there a way my main account (set to admin) can find Final Cut Pro (and maybe others) to appear on hard drive without having to use the old name and password?
    If I create a new user with the name of the original account is simply says "Username already used". In other words, If I am to use the old username, I have to change my main admin account and go through that all over again.
    Admin should mean, total control of the computer...
    Also does deleting/changing the original user actually delete programs?? It shouldn't, the hard drive files should be left alone. I can't find Final Cut Pro on the drive at all, it seemed to only appear when I'm using the original user name.
    Thoughts....discussions??
    I'm using the latest Macbook Pro 15 and updates.

    Firewire port is not required to install Final Cut Pro. Take a look at the Final Cut Studio system requirements and cross-reference it with your system specifications to discover what hardware your computer is lacking.

  • HT4664 Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?

    Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?

    depending on what model: for sure yes, it does!
    I did use FCPX on an old MacMini, c2d, 2.26GHz with 8GB Ram (using proxies made editing easy).
    My actual work-horse is a MacMini i5, late 2012, 16GB Ram, plus some ext. usb3 drives = perfect for my needs! (costs vs. power)
    I'm using two cheap 2.5" Toshiba 1TB usb3-drives, combined with MacOS' built-in DiskUtility as a Raid0 = 150mbps for under 100€ ... not professional (=raid0 contains a small risk of data loss), but again: best €-vs.-HP ratio

  • Can't Open Final Cut Pro 7

    Hello All,
    I've run into a glitch that I can't seem to get out of. I was having some timeline difficulties (playback freezing, etc.), so as I have in the past I closed FCP7 and trashed my preferences. When I went to reopen FCP7, I get to the Final Cut Pro loading window (the one that says "Licenced To:" and "Version:") and behind this window is the "Choose Setup" window. I can move the "Choose Setup" window, but I can not select any option or drop down menu on it. So that is where I am stuck.
    I've searched, but can't seem to find what I am experiencing. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can solve this?
    In adavnce, thank you for your input.
    Regards,
    Marc

    Michael, et al,
    Here is the scoop with my problem and how things seems to have gotten back to normal:
    Firstly, one should always take step one and two in your troubleshooting tips (see Guinness solution). For me it was a couple of martinis, but it's best to step away from one's machine for a little bit and begin to think rationally (a difficut task for me since in my case there would be about 40 hours of editing plus Motion graphics to recover to where I was).
    I disconnected both of my external hard drives and launched FCP7 with the same result, but this time I saw a Bias Soundsoap purchase advisory appear. This was a product I experimented with as a trial version some years ago, but never actually purchased (good product, but with Soundtrack Pro it was redundant). I remember deleting the application, but apparently I didn't do as complete of a job as I thought and some of the program's files were still installed on my system. I removed them via these instructions:
    http://www.bias-inc.com/support/faq/cView.php?faq_id=59
    After I connected my external firewire dirve that contains my FCP files, FCP7 launched correctly.
    Thank you very much for your assistance with this. I used to follow these forums extensively when I was starting out, and your help reminded me why this is such an outstanding resource.
    Regards,
    Marc

  • Can't Open Final Cut Pro X

    I can't open Final Cut Pro X.  The problem seemed to start when I deleted some old backups.  Help?

    Close FCP X and re-open holding the Option key.
    This will allow you to create a new Library, do so.
    If the newly created Library works OK then there is a corruption issue in the current one that doesn't open.
    Try a backup, usually found in your Home>Movies folder.

  • Can I buy final cut pro using windows OS?

    can I buy final cut pro using windows OS, then install it in a mac in other state?

    Technically yes, as long as you use the same Apple ID on both machine's to purchase it and to download it. The Mac in the other state will have to meant the system requirements for FCP.

  • How Can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer

    How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

    As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
    In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.
