Can I backup my applications such as fcpx and motion?

Can I backup my applications such as fcpx, motion, compressor, aperture, photoshop, and pages from my boot drive to my optibay drive and then move them back to my boot drive in case the original copies get damaged or deleted from my boot drive?
(and I mean the actual app, not the media files.) Thanks!

You have Time Machine, Which is pretty useful to go back in time
Every mac comes in stock with Time Machine. It's a free built in back-up.
Also, whenever you download something in the app store, and you decide to get another mac, you can re-download it for free. Something you don't see from windows, eh?

  • How can you export a clip selection from FCPX to motion? Round tripping?

    How do you export a clip selection out of FCP into Motion? In Motion, you have the option of exporting a selection out of motion? I don't understand why FCPX does not have this functionality. I do not want to export an effect or  transition. FCPX is good, but it looks like the application team have no clue about workflows. Especially integration between FCP and Motion.

    Not sure if you are asking a question or having a rant .. also not sure what your point is about it being 2013 ? Roundtripping is not in these apps .. sold for very little (relative to FCS which did roundtripping) and most of the functionality used daily from Motion is now in FCPX in one way or another. Perhaps it would be a 'handy' but to highlight this as some BIG deal is a tad missing the point ... .
    What exactly is it you cannot do in FCPX and need to send to Motion to work on ?
    These may help you with the basics of new compound clips ...

  • If I upgrade from Mac OS v 10.5.8 to 10.6 Snow leopard will my installed applications such as timemachine and MS Offfice for Mac 2008 still work?

    If I upgrade from Mac OS v 10.5.8 to 10.6 Snow leopard will my installed applications such as MS Office for Mac 2008 still work? Will time machine files created under OS 10.5 still be accessible?

    Yes

  • How can I backup my files on an iPhone and iPad? I have a PC, not a MAC computer.

    I would like to backup the files on my iPhone and iPad. I usually back them up on a regular PC and external hard drive (a WD My Passport). I do not have a MAC computer.

    iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your PC, or to iCloud.
    See this Apple document for more information about iOS backups:

  • A question about Frame Rate in FCPX and Motion 5

    I use a Canon Legria HV40 shooting at a frame rate of 25fps
    Is it essential to set the frame rate in Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5 to 25fps as well?
    The reason I'm asking this is that I recently put together a series of clips shot with the HV40 in a FCPX project with the default settings of 60fps and it didn't seem to matter - everything worked as expected..

    FCPX automatically 'confirms' any clip rate to the Projects settings.
    But ... more rendering to do (=time), 'un-eveness' could lead to blur/quality loss (=how do you divide 25 frames over 60 equally?) ...
    Best practice is: cam, project, delivery = same frame-rate.
    Exception: for nice slow-mo: HFR on cam, low fps on Project ....

  • Integration between FCPX and Motion ?

    How do I move from/to the two softwares to edit a clip already in my timeline and have it back once edited ?
    Thanks

    You create in Motion, publish it as a Final Cut Generator. It shows up in the Generators palette in FCP X. You then edit it in Motion by right-clicking on the generator and selecting Open In Motion. You do your edit in Motion, save it, go back to FCP X, drag the generator over the existing one in the timeline to replace. I have no clue why it just doesn't update it in the timeline for you.
    It's funny because the integration of FCP X and Motion 5 is way more advanced than After Effects and Premiere Pro because of rigging and publishing (very powerful stuff) but it doesn't do true roundtripping.

    what I need is some "connection", when I edit in motion I want to see the updated files in my fcpx timeline, just like premiere and after effects... I think that's not possible

  • Can I backup one iPad to another temporarily and then restore them both at a later time?

    My older son is autistic and is non-verbal.  He uses his iPad to communicate with people around him.  I need to put his iPad into the shop to get the screen repaired.  I have made backups of both, my iPad and his.  Can I restore my iPad using his backup to make mine look like his, so he can borrow mine while his is in the shop, and then when his is repaired, restore mine to my backup?  Both iPads are iPad 2, and both have the latest IOS.  Both are also 64 GB.
    Thank you for the help.

    If you have a computer, yes you can do that. You can't back them up to each other though.
    Using a computer (presuming you set it up with one, if you didn't then it gets trickier), back up yours. then go into the settings, reset, erase all content and settings, which puts it back to being straight out of the box. Hook his up, do a full back up. Unplug it. Plug yours back in and set yours up, and when you have the choice to set up as new or restore from backup, choose that and his data will clone onto yours.
    Take his in, when you get it back, it should be wiped, restore it from the backup of his and you can then wipe yours and restore yours from the backup
    But how are you getting it fixed? If it's going to an apple store and you're getting an out of warranty replacement, you won't need to do that because you'll take it in, pay the fee, walk out with the replacement and you can then restore that one from the backup, so you'd have no need to juggle the data.....unless you're mailing it in and it'll take a few days, etc.

  • How can use all vcenter feature such as HA and drs without shared storage

    Hi
    i have 2 esxi host dl 380g8
    but i don't have any shared storage or san now i want use vcenter feature like ha and drs now for use this features do i have to run VSAN?
    i readed for for use vsan we have to buy ATLEAST ONE ssd disk is this trure?
    ssd disk is necessary?
    atleast one ssd disk for each host ?
    can use from all of vcenter feature with VSAN ?
    please some help me

    Hi,
    For VSAN you need at LEAST 3 hosts (4 recommended).
    Each host must have 1 SSD for read cache/write buffer.
    Do you have any storage at all? How about running a NAS such as "OpenFiler" or "FreeNAS". That way you can present shared storage via that way. (I'd use this in Lab only). These NAS O/S's also work as virtual machines so you can turn any disk into shared storage.

  • How can I synch Mail application between an iMac and a Macbook Pro

    I want to be able to go back and forth between my iMac and my Macbook Pro using Mail application.

    Has anyone had to do this and if so, how do I do it?
    Thanks for your help

    You can get a Dropbox account, this will allow for 2GB of free storage and you can purchase additional storage if needed. You can find out about Dropbox from their website or read one of the many reviews about them. Their address is:

    and some reviews are at:

  • I am going to update my PC to windows 7 (from XP), how can i backup my current version of firefox and use it on the updated OS?

    since support for XP is done and continued use puts my PC at risk, I am going to install Windows 7. I want to know how i can do a full back up of my current version of Firefox and then run it on the updated OS; i have lots of add-ons that I don't want to lose and then have to go through the whole process of reinstalling and customizing.
    (currently running Firefox v28.0)

    It would be best to be cautious with copying a full profile folder from Windows XP to Windows 7 as the file structure is completely different.
    *C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
    *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

  • The application can "not initialize the application's security component" and so Firefox will not open any more... PLEASE ADVISE!!

    One day while trying to run the firefox application a box popped up and said:
    "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with the files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem."
    Ive tried everything and even deleted and then reinstalled firefox... We miss it!!

    Please try
    * disabling any background anti-virus software you have, as it may be using Firefox files while it loads and prevent it from reading them
    * following the steps at [[Could not initialize the browser security component]]

  • How can I build mobile application , connect with database and can show its working by simulator

    Dear, I want to build mobile application.
    Actually, my application has 2 parts. one is webbased application.
    Second part is mobile bases.
    instructor will take interview of the students. he will enters marks by mobile and then by using BT, it will be sent to webbased part and saved in mysql database.

    Actually, the mobile part of your question is irrelevant to the central issue of building an application that will allow:
    1.  Collecting information from a student
    2.  Entering that information into a database
    To do this, you would build a form page that allows you to input the desired information. When that form is submitted, validate the information and enter it into a database.
    Once you have this working, format the form page so that it displays well on mobile devices.
    To use this you would browse to the form page on your mobile device browser, input the information, and submit it.
    Is that what you want?

  • How do i transfer videos between FCPX and Motion 5?

    there is no "Send To" option. The only option i have is under "Share" and it is "Send to Compressor"

    Basically, the only work-around is to create a new project containing the exact clip (or section of a clip) you want to "send" to motion, export that project (to quicktime), then open that exported .mov in motion. Do whatever you want to do to it. Then, export the motion project to quicktime. Finally add that result to your FCPX event/timeline where you want it.
    We can only hope that Apple will add back the "Send to Motion" feature and rectify this glaring inadequacy.

  • Best way to move files between FCPX and Motion?

    What is the best protocol for bringing files back and forth between Motion and FCPX?
    How do I save out from Motion for import to FCP? Is it with Templates?
    Whats the drill?
    I have looked at both the helps and am coming up short.
    Thanks.

    If you're simply working in generic Motion project, ProRes 422 Quicktime files are the best format for going back and forth.
    If you want to save a Motion project to use as a template in FCP X, it has to be one of the template Motion project types.  Title, Generator, Effect, Transition.  You would select these from the Template Browser that opens first when Motion is initially launched.
    If you want to start creating templates, I stronly recommend Ripple Training's "Rigging and Publising" video course for Motion 5.

  • On Safari, ipad connects to the internet.  But when in applications such as Keynote, I try to e-mail presentattion it doesnt work.

    I am a teacher and have my own iPad with a data plan.  We also have a router in teh classroom for wifi, and it has a very strong signal.  On Safari, the ipads can connect to the internet.  But when in applications such as Keynote and HTML Egg, I try to e-mail presentat. or post website to web, it doesnt work.  I tried re-setting the proxies and the router, no luck.  Please Help!  I am a teacher and want my students to be able to post their websites on to the web, and e-mail themselves and their parents their Keynote Presentations.

    Try this. Turn your iPad Off. Then disconnect the power going to the router for 30 seconds or longer. Then replug the power to the router (allow it to initialize) and turn On the iPad. Hopefully everything will connect. If not, see below.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
