FCP 5.1 HD won't work on Macbook

I have FCP version 5.1 installed on my iMac G5 (10.4.11), and my 15" Macbook Pro (10.5.6). Everythign works fine. I installed it on my Macbook, however (also running 10.5.6) and the HD logging does not work. It will recognize my camera and log standard DV clips, but when I switch all the settings over to 1060i, and select Log from the file menu, nothings happens. It doesn't even try to open the Log and capture window. Is the Macbook missing something?

Well, with FCP 5.1 you can have it installed on TWO machines, one desktop and one laptop. Provided they are both owned by you and are only used one at a time, not at the same time.
So that's not it.
Trash preferences.
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

External optical drive won't work on macbook pro retina.

I have a macbook pro retina which doesn's have an optical drive. I have bought an optical drive. When I plug it in and put a disk in I can hear the disk spinning and the light comes on but nothing happens on my mac. It doesn't seem to recognise it. Any suggestions?

Just had that happen to me.
First, run Disk Utility and see if the SuperDrive (it is an Apple SuperDrive isn't it?) is listed. Is the disk you inserted shown? If not, hold down the option key and click the Apple menu - choose System Information and when that shows up, choose USB. See if it's listed there. If it is but neither the drive nor the disk you inserted appears on the Desktop, the side bar of the Finder window, or Disk Utility, return it for a refund (if it's within 14 days of purchase) or a replacement. That's what I had to do a few hours ago and the replacement works as it should.
BTW, if you want the disk you inserted back, and pressing the trackpad as you reboot doesn't eject the disk, as a last resort run Terminal and enter (copy and paste the following)
/usr/bin/drutil eject
to try to force the disk to eject. It probably won't work (it didn't for me) but if it does, at least you get that disk back.

External microphone won't work on Macbook Pro

My external microphone won't work on my Macbook Pro.
My mic is an SE2200 A, and I'm pluggin that into a Behringer Eurorack UB802 (with Phantom power). This is then connected to a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter so I can plug it into my Macbook Pro.
If I plug this directly into my Macbook Pro into the headphone socket (which I've been told doubles up as a mic socket), and go to Settings -> Sound -> Input, the mic does not appear on screen at all.
If I plug it into a 3.5mm to USB adapter, and plug it into a USB port on my mac, then the USB PnP Sound Device appears on the Settings -> Sound -> Input, but no sound is picked up.
Could any suggest why this isn't working?
thanks

You have to use a cable that will break out the 3.5 mm TRRS jack into mic, L, and R.
I haven't found the right wiring yet and the cables I have tried don't seem to work.
See this post: What is the wiring digram on the MacBook Pro 3.5 mm TRRS jack?

Ichat won't work on macbook networked to Imac G5's airport

My daughter's macbook's ichat will not connect since networked through my iMac G5's built-in airport (not airport express - no router). Otherwise the internet connection is working for the macbook - ichat just won't connect. Does anyone have any input? is there some setting change on either computer I need to check?

This sounds like it may be an IP address issue. iChat does not like multiple connections from the same IP... and I'd imagine, if you're sharing your G5's internet connection, both machines are going out with the same IP address. If you download the standalone version of AIM (or other chat client), I believe it should work. I've only had this issue with iChat.

Gmail won't work on Macbook

All of a sudden mine and my husband's gmail accounts won't send or receive using our macbook mail application. It is working fine on the iphone and ipad. We have not changed any settings. We can go onto the gmail website and see our mail, it just won't come onto the computer. Can anyone help us figure out what is wrong?
Thank you,
Julie

What should I do???
Aaaah...free stuff... They doesn't come cheap, my greandpa used to say.
But seriously,
it could be Nokia email service has troubles with some email services. If you read carefully posts on this board many people have encountered problems with gmail accounts.
Just wait...it will come to life eventually.
Seriously, if you have set up NokiaMessaging correctly then only thing you can do is wait till Nokia corrects the problem.

USB Mouse won't work on Macbook?

I have a usb mouse that I've been using for a couple months now. I know it works because my boyfriend was just using it on his computer last night. I just got a new macbook, came in the mail yesterday. When I plug it in the mouse doesn't move or click period. I went to system preferences and it finds the mouse, but the mouse won't move. I've tried restarting, unplugging-plugging into a different port. Please tell me this isn't something wrong with my new computer. I need it for school and school starts next week.
Thanks in advanced.

What mouse? What computer and operating system? You say in your post that you have a "macbook"; this is a MacBook Pro forum.
Did you go to the mouse manufacturer's site and download and install the usb mouse drivers for your operating system?

Clamshell mode won't work? (MacBook + LG Monitor)

Howdy!
I've triple-checked the official doc on how to use Clamshell Mode, but I can't seem to get it to work. My MacBook is plugged in and fully charged, the display (LG W2052TG) is connected, as are my USB keyboard and mouse. Yet when I close the display on my MacBook, it goes to sleep and will not wake back up. I've even kept trying for 5 minutes at one point.
I'm trying to avoid using InsomniaX (those warnings scare me)...

Are you sure you are waiting long enough? When I use clamshell mode it takes several seconds, perhaps as long as ten seconds before it works after I click the mouse. Try again, and wait a while before giving up.

Bootcamp won't work on MacBook pro i7 Lion

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my MacBook pro i7 with the latest lion os. It won't create the driver DVD download as it says it can't find the SuperDrive. Then it won't partition the main drive as it says there are large files it can't move! I don't really want to go down the defrag route. Please help. Cheers

Well, your only free method is to erase and restore your system.
Now, Superduper does a great clone with consolidating free space on restore and clones are bootable, so doubly useful.. So does Paragon's Clone (Windows) OS. Neither is free.
Disk Utilty: Restore
TimeMachine
free but sometimes the restore does not consolidate all the free space.
And yes those can. And you can't restore without booting from another drive or partition.
Safe Mode only applies to "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps" and defrags are long slow and inefficient. And should never be attempted without backups. The number of people that dont' backup; want free (they think programmer's time isn't worth anything I guess).
There is one method that people have stumbled and found worth trying:
Shrink your main HFS partition down by 105GB. Then undo and move back to full hard drive space.
Installers will fragment and use the inner tracks for temp files and changes. And some programs place file that remains locked.
Use Lion Recovery partition (command-r / or use Option key to select to boot from) to be able to unmount and repair your main drive.
Check Disk Utility: Help menu for tips and topics. Just like those "?" you fnid on most Windows programs. They often have what a person wants and links to support.

Keyboard suddenly won't work on MacBook Pro

It simply stopped working (many reboots are ineffective.) Tried an external keyboard and mouse, both of which work. Thoughts? Thanks...

Try resetting the PRAM https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
if no good try resetting the system management controller:

IMessage videochat won't work on MacBook pro?

If a friend calls me, it just has the preview window up and nothing else happens -- on their side, it says the call failed.
If I try to start the videochat, it pops up with an error. This is only a recent issue.
I have all of my updates done on my laptop, as well.

Hi,
Your title says iMessages won't video.
The iMessages account in Messages does not do Video - invokes FaceTime.
If you mean you are trying to Video to an AIM or Jabber Buddy from your own AIM or Jabber account then the Messages App will do Video
In the Video Menu open th Connection Doctor and tell me what each of the options in the Drop down say.
In Capabilities it would be nice to know you can do 4 way Video and 10 Way Audio chats (it will say Multiple)
Same at the other end.
I would also do a Speed check on your Internet Speeds at both ends

FCP Pro Keyboard number keypad not working with Macbook Pro

Switching over to a macbook pro I find my Pro Keyboard number pad has stop working, infact if I try to use it it crashs my computer
any help?

maharitho wrote:
have you tried to repair your permission, and restart mac maybe it works
Kinda hard to do that if the keyboard and trackpad isn't working - don't you agree?
In any event - what were you doing last before your keyboard and trackpad stopped functioning?
Did you do any upgrades to your Macbook?
Have you tried doing a PRAM/NVRAM or SMC reset?

Safari won't work on Macbook; Firefox works just fine

I am connected at home via my cable modem and AirPort Express. Wireless connection is OK. If I open Safari, it will just hang until I eventually get a message telling me that the server is not responding.But when I open Firefox, I can go anywhere on the web (like right here on the Apple discussions page). I've tried emptying the cache, resetting, trashing the history plist... Nothing works. I don't mind Firefox, but I prefer Safari. I have this problem only on my 13" white MacBook. My iMac, no problem

Well, I tried that and it didn't work, unfortunately. Now, here's the kicker: When I am at home (connected via my AirPort Express and cable modem), I can only access the internet via Firefox. Pages will not load in Safari. But when I am at work (connected via an AirPort Extreme and my school's network), pages will ONLY load in Safari and NOT in Firefox. Can ANYONE explain this?

Projector Won't Work with MacBook Pro

I'm trying to plug my projector in my MacBook Pro but for some reason when I plug my projector into my HDMI port on my MacBook it will change resolutions, go black, change resolutions, go black, and so on. It's a cycle and will only stay on each resolution for a few seconds. I would love to get this figured out so I can stream movies on a very large screen but it has left me scratching my head. I have a new MacBook Pro Retina 2.8GHz, 16 GB RAM, and Intel Iris Pro graphics coupled with the NVIDIA graphics if this helps. Also running the latest version of Yosemite.
Thanks,
Tyler

Internet won't work on MacBook Pro unless using ethernet cable

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. We recently got a new NETGEAR N600 wirelesss ADSL2 modem router and when trying to set it up I found I couldnt use my MacBook, we had to use a the old PC to do it. The connection is set up and my iPhone and iPad as well as our PCs have no problem picking up the wireless signal, however I cannot seem to wirelessly connect wiht my MacBook Pro. I hav e to use the ethernet cable if I want to use internet on my MacBook. In Network Preferences it says wi-fi is connected however when I open up Safari it says that there is no connection. My friends have also been experiencing this problem with their macbooks lately.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks

Reboot the modem.
