Capturing from firewire to new macbook pro in FCS 7.0.3

I'm thinking about buying a new macbook pro but it doesn't have a firewire input and my camera (Sony HC9) uses that for output. Can I log and capture to FCP 7.0.3 through a firewire adapter or through the HDMI input on the computer. thanks.
Steve

This is one reason I got the new MBP that still has the firewire port. Lucky it was also the same model that came with the matte screen ... both are essential components!
ymmv.

Capture HDMI into a new MacBook pro?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew a way of capturing HDMI into my new MacBook pro? I've had a search and cannot find anything. I'm not sure if any of the black magic products could do it? http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/
Many thanks,
Tom

Hi - If your MacBook Pro has an Express 34 card slot (I believe only the 17" Mac Book Pros have them now) then you should look at the Matrox products, like the Matrox 02 Mini for laptops:

Migrating from iMac to new MacBook Pro

Currently I have a iMac, serial number QP833*ZE5, 2.4 GHz, with Snow Leopard 10.6.2
I will be getting a new MacBook Pro shortly.
What I would like to do is have absolutely everything on the MacBook be a duplicate of what is on my iMac.
And I can do this by simply restoring the MacBook from my stored iMac cloned disk image.
So, my question is "Is this OK?", or are there ANY differences at the System level (any at all) between my iMac 10.6.2 and the new MacBook Pro 10.6.2?
.. or, in any case, would you seriously encourage using Migration Assistant to port from my stored disk image clone? I say "from the stored clone" because this clone is on an external firewire drive which would be connected to the MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance for answering.

As a rule, it is not a good idea to try to restore from an older Mac's startup volume (or a clone of it) to a newer model. This is because the newer model may require a later version of the OS to support its newer hardware & the result will be a new Mac that can't start up. (See Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than that which came with your Mac for info about this.)
However, from Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs, it appears that currently at least, a new MacBook Pro should be able to boot from any version of Snow Leopard, so a restore from the iMac running 10.6.2 should be OK.
But keep in mind that Setup Assistant will run the first time you power up your new MBP, & it will offer to run the equivalent of Migration Assistant to copy everything not already installed from another Mac (or a cloned drive of it) to the MBP. Since this will not replace any apps or OS components included on the BMP will older versions from the iMac, but can copy over everything else (except system settings that don't apply & you don't need anyway), it is a good, perhaps even better, option for you.
Besides, you really don't want to duplicate absolutely everything from the iMac -- many of the files on it are just temporary working files, caches, etc. that the MBP will just discard or ignore.

How to export my mailboxes from Imac to new Macbook Pro?

I am getting a new Macbook Pro 13" today (not sure if it will ship with Snow Leopard). How can I just move all of my mailbox contents, and maybe bookmarks from Safari and other account information over from my Imac Time Machine backup. A few months ago I used my Time Machine from the Imac to move everything over to the new portable, including PHotos and all documents, etc. Is there a way of picking and choosing during setup assistance just a few things.
The other option is whether I can simply export the contents of my mailbox into a file--two accounts--over to the new computer? Can I do the same with the contents of Iphoto and ITunes?
Thanks

See the following:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
For FireFox:
/Home/Library/Applications Support/FireFox
/Home/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist
Credit goes Macjack for this information.
You can connect the two computers with a FireWire cable and use Target Disk Mode to copy from one machine to the other.

Firewire Chip - New Macbook Pro

Hi,
I was wondering what kind of chip is used for the firewire interface in
the new Macbook Pro? I hope it still is a Texas Instrument one ...
otherwise I´ll probably have troubles with my audio interfaces.
Thanks for the help!

The manufacturer is Deltaco I think. Just a cable including converter (or maybe even not). I'm gonna buy an adapter right away and try.
No conversion necessary, just a different connector, but the interface should downshift to the slower speed automatically. Perhaps you can confirm via System Profiler that the device is connected and at slower speed? Are you familiar with System Profiler utility?
You did say that a FW400 HD also did not work with your cable, right? I heard elsewhere on this topic that audio devices are somewhat suspect due to the FW chipset on the late 2008 MBP. I don't know if the M-Audio was the device mentioned.
Did you actually try a FW800 device? If you have a device (LaCie Big Disk) with multiple interfaces(FW400 & FW800) that would be ideal to try. I know from reading that 'target mode' will no longer work, so that's out. Just brainstorm to find some device that should work at FW800 directly or call Apple Support to confirm which FW400 devices/cables/adapters should work before you spend big $$.
My 2¢.

I uses Time Machine to transfer files and program from old to new MacBook Pro. Aperture doesn't work. Every time I open Aperture the computer need me to key in Serial number. How do I fix it.

Hi There,
I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.
Nelson

Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.

How do i transfer files from pc to new macbook pro running yosemite

I want to transfer documents, pictures and iTunes library from Dell pc running Windows Vista to new MacBook pro running Yosemite.

Use the Migration Assistant, or move the files manually through file sharing or an external drive. If you've already set the MacBook Pro up and use the Migration Assistant, the files will be put into a different user account.

Transfer some items from iMac to new MacBook Pro

I am buying a new laptop and want to transfer some not all of my files from my iMac to the new MacBook Pro.
When I bought my iMac 2 years ago I just transferred everything from my old Mac to the new one via USB I think.
Again I do not want to transfer everything.
The laptop is a secondary computer to take with us on the road and or my wife can play her games and not try up the main computer.
Thanks in advance,
Greg

Your best bet is to use Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up. Transfer your User accounts and some or all of the contents of the home folders (you can't pick and chose individual files, but you can omit some broad categories). See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? for details. Then you can delete what you don't want.
The reason you should do it that way is, the user accounts on both Macs will then be the same; each account on one Mac will have the same permissions to data for the same account on the other Mac, and other drives as well, such as your backups.

Transfer CS from iMac to new macbook pro

I have a new macbook pro and I want to use that instead of my imac. I need help in trying to trasfer my creative suite from one to the other as I presume there is only one licence per product? Anyway - I bought CS3 on disc but then upgraded to CS5 online. I'm not quite sure how I should attempt to do this. Do I install the CS3 and then try and get the upgrade from there?
Hope I am not being too dumb in asking this. But I am drawing a blank!

I will move this post to the installation forum since you posted in storage and sharing. You willl be better feedback there.

Transfer from IP4 to new MacBook Pro

As roaming gnome noted, to copy iTunes , simply copy the entire iTunes folder.
Just backup your iPhone to the new computer (after you copy the iTunes folder).

Trying to install Sims 3 from disc on new Macbook Pro

I've had the Sims 3 on CD ROM (for Mac and PC) for a few years and recently upgraded from an old white Macbook to a new Macbook Pro (the non retina display one). I pop the disc in and click install, but it always freezes on "Installing 3 out of 237 files" and never moves. It says "about 17 minutes" but won't move even 40 minutes later. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this thing to work?

Install Flash from CS5 on new Macbook Pro errors

Hi,
I just tried to install my CS5 Master Collection on my new MacBook Pro. All the programs installed properly except Flash Pro. I understand why I have errors for Flash Player but the rest, I'm not sure how to move forward to get this installed. I tried opening Flash Pro anyway but it tells me to reinstall. I have tried 2 times now.
Any thoughts? I know I'm missing something or am I screwed since I'm using a Mac, which hates flash and CS6 is out on top of that factor?
