I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

Does the new iMac have a built in super drive

Does the new iMac come with a DVD drive

Forget the Apple external optical drive.
It is the same one they used to install in iMacs.
It is still a cheap unit, not great on longevity, prone to premature failure and it is waay overpriced!

Does the new Imac ME088LL/A have a LCD glossy screen? Thanks

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.

Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

It's $80.00. You can buy other externals for less, I think, but only the Apple one will work with Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows and any other applications that will only work with an "internal" optical drive.
If this isn't important for you, then explore less expensive alternatives. Check out OWC for example.

Does the new iMac still have these?!?!

Heyy,
I was wondering, and I'm quite curious. When I look at the new iMac design I see things that it might not have that the last generation had.
1) Does it still have a sleep light, if it does, where is it?
2) Does it still have the magnetic side where the Apple Remote sits?
Thanks,
Ramin

Heyy,
Thanks for the fast reply. I'm extremely surprised that Apple would do this. I still prefer my iMac (white one), and this pushes me even further away. Even though it's newer, I don't think it's better (except for processors and hard drive), but they can me upgraded(with a lot of hard work!)
Again, thank you for the information.

Does the new iMac that arrives in December have a mini-display port?

I can't seem to find the answer because the website and the apple store app do not agree. Does it come with a video in/out port like the previous versions?

I don't know what you are using for an Apple Store "app" but for what it's worth the specifications for the new iMac indicate two Thunderbolt ports.
Thunderbolt is compatible with MiniDP and uses the same connector.

Does the new iMac (27 inche) have thunderbolt in-put?

Im planning to buy the new iMac 27 inche, and I'm wondering if you can use it to play ps3, Xbox 2013, bluray player ext... With thunderbolt to hdmi cable!

I believe the source of the video needs to also have a Thunderbolt port, so it goes from a Thunderbolt port to the iMac's Thunderbolt port.

Does the new iMac use the same memory as the previous?

Right now i have the 24" 2.16ghz iMac and i am considering selling it to buy the newest 24" 2.4 ghz version. My question is, do they use the same ram? The apple specs page for the new imac says it uses 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) which is what i thought i had in my current iMac. For some reason though on crucial's website it says the new imac uses 800mhz ram, i would likely trust apples specs but i just wanted to confirm if it is the same so i know if i can keep a 1gb stick or not to put in the new one. Thanks!

By using the manual method (Apple > iMac > 2.8 GHz) I only got PC2-5300 (667 MHz) RAM (although I do get PC2-6400 RAM for the 2.4 GHz model - but you probably won't benefit from the performance boost, just like my Mini has now 1 GB of 400 MHz DDR RAM running at 333 MHz). And yes, the new iMac uses the same RAM as the older one.
I'd suggest you visit an Apple store and see the new iMac for yourself though. Your iMac still seems like a pretty good computer, and the 2.4 GHz processor and/or Radeon HD 2600 card may not warrant the upgrade price, especially if you don't like the glossy screen (which is reportedly much glossier than the MacBook's display).

Does the new imac support 3D movie play?

I was wondering if the newest iMac can play 3D movies, like the new 3d blue ray/3D tv can, anyone knows about this?

There were two sources. One was the Apple iMac descriptions themselves and the other is the much more detailed info available on everymac.com .
Everymac.com clearly states the current iMacs support audio output from the miniDisplayPort, however when I rechecked Apple's website today, there is no mention of it in the current iMac tech specs.
So, this is, at a minimum, inconsistent information, and doesn't actually confirm one way or another whether or not the current iMacs support audio over the mDP.
On the other hand, Apple have 2 KB documents about this topic - TS3065 and HT4241 which state that audio output from the mDP is only supported on:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
Mac mini (Mid 2010)
MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010)
Interesting that the latest iMacs are not mentioned, but I believe both articles predate the latest models.
I understand this is not as definitive as I believed it was when I wrote my original post.
What mDP-HDMI adapter are you using and what device are you connecting to?

Does the 27" iMac wireless card support 802.11a and n

does the iMac support the 5 GHz wifi format? How about the N spec?

I'm sorry but I don't understand this:
the unit supports 802.11a channels but it doesn't pick up anything.
Are you saying the iMac cannot connect wirelessly? And why would you be concerned that the very old 'a' standard may not be picked up? The latest standard is 802.11n, not a.

So, is the iMac working wirelessly or not?

Does the new Pentium-M controller support RT?

Does anyone know when RT will be supported on the new Pentium-M PXI controller? I am running IMAQ applications on older PXI RT controllers (PXI-8176RT) but I'm trying to increase the test throuput by switching to faster controllers.

Hi mhig,
The release date of new Pentium-M PXI controller to be supported by RT is still not confirmed. However, R&D is working on it to be released. I have asked the R&D, so I might be able to tell you the approximate month of the release. I will post up another messege once I get any reply from the R&D.
Also you have mentioned about increasing the test througput and yes new Pentium-M controller will have higher spec.; however, that will depend where is your bottleneck is. You might have heard about PCIe-1429. If the bottleneck would be the transfer rate from the camera to the computer, then PCIe-1429 could also be your solution. Yet since it uses PCI express bus, there are no board for the PXI.

I will try to post up as soon as I get any new information.

Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

Hi Folks.
I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
Apple Intermediate codec. I had no choice over this.
Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
very easily in the Finder. Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
in the progress bar at the bottom. Never had a problem with any previous
Mac OS.
Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
and plays it no problem. No "conversion" necessary. No cumbersome and
space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
of Quicktime can play it.
What's up, Apple? AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
transcode into. Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
And your old version does? And why might THAT be?
Really, this is so elementary. This is not rocket science. Just like JPG images
not displaying properly in Mac Mail now. It begs the question "why" ...?
I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
have to be "fixed"...
Did I miss something? Or did you?

Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas. And an answer to your earlier post.
Basically two options to work with here:
Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
Convert the files to Quicktime
I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB". (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras). I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's. AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files. You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
The only extra trick to be aware of here is this. The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor. Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files. Not mandatory, but helpful if you are a Premiere user. Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage. Use VLC player to open and view them.
From that point on, you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on. Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files. Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264. Anyway, don't bother converting. It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
ps. I just found this free utility on the internet. It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
Good luck! (and happy Valentine's Day!)
