FCP 7 compatibility with newer OS?

I am an editor who has not made the jump to FCP X. Everything I have been reading in my research for answers was posted between 2011 and the present. I read where Final Cut Studio will work with Lion. I am unclear if it will work with Mountain Lion. I wanted to install some plugins but it said I needed 10.7 or above to do the install and I am still using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my iMac machine and Leopard on my Macbook Pro. I am just trying to see what OS I can upgrade to and still be able to edit work with FCP 7.
Thanks!

Final Cut Pro 7 runs fine on my installations of osx 10.7.5 and 10.8.5.
Key things to note: I keep very clean machines. I don't junk up the hard drives with lots of useless apps and DiskWarrior is run regularly. Some apps (eg Compressor) act oddly on occasion.
your mileage may vary.

What external hard drives are compatable with new Ipad 4

What external hardrives are compatable with the new Ipad 4 connector

Not entirely sure what you are asking. According to this review (I haven't got one so I don't know for sure) then the wifi-enabled GoFlex Satellite drives can :
The device can stream basically all content supported by the iPad including videos (H.264 video, MPEG-4, and Motion-JPEG), audio (AAC, MP3, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4), Apple Lossless, A IFF, WAV), documents (Microsoft Office, iWork, Adobe) and photos.
But non-wifi drives, i.e. those that require a cable connection, won't work with the iPad.

FCP 3 compatability with G5

I'm an amateur FCP 3 user with an iMAC. I just purchased a G5 and am looking to upgrade to FCP 5. I'm mid-stream on a project and I'm curious as to whether I'll run into any conversion / compatability issues trying to transfer my FCP 3 project into FCP 5. Or should I just try to finish my project in FCP 3?

No problems. Upgrade away.
It is a world of difference.

Compatibility with new Macbook Pro i5 13"

Can anyone comment on boot camps compatibility with the new Macbook Pro 13" i5 model? It appears that not all the drivers are included for the new notebook models. For example I had to manualy download and install the Intel GMA driver from Intel and I still have one PCI device that cannot be installed.

Web JetAdmin 8.1 compatibility with newer printers.

Has anyone had experience with Web JetAdmin 8.1 compatibility with either an M9050 or an M4555? I don't use it myself, but our development people do and they don't want to upgrade to 10.2 unless absolutely necessary. Thanks.
Larry Goodman

LarryDGoodman,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
I hope this helps.

Graphite compatibility with new wireless printers

I have been using a graphite AirPort for years and years with no complaints. Now I am finally getting around to shopping for a wireless printer to have in the house, so that my partner and I can print without competing for the USB cord. I am wondering, though, whether a new printer will work o.k. with the graphite, or will I have to buy a newer model of AirPort. (The last time I asked a graphite compatibility question to an AppleStore saleseperson, I got a wrong answer. So I'm going to the discussion board instead for this one!)
Thanking anyone in advance for any comments,
Jorge Bravo
P.S. In case it matters, my computer is an iBook G4 running 10.5.4, my partner's is a PowerBook G4 with 10.4.11.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The Graphite produces a plain-vanilla 802.11b wireless network. It uses 40-bit WEP encryption. Check the system requirements of the wireless printers you are interested in; they are likely to be compatible.
Different manufacturers can use different routines to convert arbitrary-length wireless network passwords to the 40 bits used for WEP, so a device might appear to be incompatible for this reason. The easiest way around this is to use exactly 5 characters in your wireless network password.
The most unusual feature of the Graphite, these days, is that it has only a single Ethernet port, used for both WAN and LAN connections. If you need to connect the printer via Ethernet to the Graphite in order to set it up, you probably ought to disconnect the Graphite from your DSL or cable modem, even if you normally use an Ethernet hub, if the Graphite is distributing IP addresses. (This is to avoid a DHCP conflict.) If the printer needs to be connected simultaneously to the Internet and the Graphite while being set up via Ethernet (which I doubt), you'd need an Ethernet hub, and in order to prevent a DHCP conflict if the Graphite is distributing IP addresses, it would be best to set the printer's IP address manually, to an address of the form 10.0.1.x where x is in the 200's.
I haven't used wireless printers with my own Graphite, but I do connect wirelessly through the Graphite to Ethernet printers, without problems. (I have another router in my network, between the DSL modem and the wired devices, and my Graphite is set not to distribute IP addresses, so there are no DHCP conflicts.)

Hearing Aid Compatability with new 3G phone?

Hello
Can someone please point out somewhere in the spec for the new 3G phone on M3 or M4 hearing aid compatibility?
Thanks

1) On Monday July 14th I purchased and activated my new iPhone 3G. I ported my number from Verizon and ate the early termination fee. I've been asked by multiple people if I received their text messages -- and to my dismay, I didn't receive a couple here and there. They are VZW customers, but I can't imagine that has anything to do with it. Even though my phone goes in and out of service at times, there should be no reason why I shouldn't still receive them, right? I went to VZW yesterday to get a car charger for a friend & they asked for my number. I gave them it, and it still showed I receive a 20% discount on accessories. Do you think since I cancelled Verizon recently it is causing this problem sometimes? Any ideas?
It usually takes sometime for all information and services to port over. No longer then a day. But if you are having SMS issues. Feel free to give iPhone Support a call. They can assist with contacting at&t data group and they can perform some troubleshooting on their end. Please ensure you call on something other then the iPhone
2) Yesterday some soda spilled onto the screen of my iphone. I have an Agent18 case on it which protected it for the most part. I immediately wiped it up and everything was fine. It's been working fine since, but for some reason when I receive text messages, as of an hour or so ago, it doesn't play a sound, only vibrates. I double and tripled checked that a sound should play -- and it says so. My call ringer plays fine and other sounds work. Any ideas?
This could be part of the same issue as above. But maybe not. Check and ensure the silent switch is not turned to orange on the left hand side of the iPhone.
Also reboot the iPhone if needed then go to the Dial Out keypad and dial *646# this will send an SMS to the iPhone. See if you hear a sound. Ensure volume is all the way up. Do you hear any other sounds? Like when you get email, voicemail, incoming call?

24" Cinema Display Compatibility with New MBPs

Need advice: Considering a new 13" 2.53GHsz MBP and a 24" Cinema display -- laptop for travel, display for desk. Like the portability of the 13". Or do I need upgrade to the 15" 2.66Ghz MBP with enhanced graphics and video support? Not a gamer, but would enjoy the display for movies, etc. Thanks in advance.

Update: Apple store sales advised me to buy 15" MBP (vs. new 13") due to concerns re: graphics and speed. So I purchased the 2.8Ghz. Set up with cinema display works great. Done.

InDesign CS2 - 100 document limit and compatibility with newer versions

Hello,
I have Adobe InDesign CS2 and am using it to compile a large report. I have come across a problem once i tried to add more than 100 documents to my book and now see there is a 100 file limit to books in CS2. Each document needs to stay as a single file so i am unable to join files to overcome this problem.
I have a summary table at the beginning of the document detailing the title of each file in the book. I am unable to work out how to create page hyperlinks in the pdf to the second book (documents over the 100 mark).
It has since come to fruition that my company has updates to CS3 and CS5 and that these new versions do not have a 100 file limit in creating books. This document i am creating is over 400 pages long so i am wary of upgrading to a new version when i am not far from publishing.
Should i have any concerns in upgrading to a new version of InDesign when i have almost finished my report? Would it be better to just upgrade to CS3 and not make such a large jump to CS5? Or does anyone know how to create page hyperlinks in my pdf to the files contained in the second book?
Thanks for any help! Much appreciated.

Normally I would advise against changing versions in midstream on a project like this, but I'm not sure you have a choice. My instinct is there will be fewer issues moving to CS3 than CS5, but there are far more features in CS5 you might like to use...
One way to limit the possible anomalies would be to export all the CS2 files to .inx na open those in CS5, rather than converting the .indd files directly, then save as new CS5 .indd files and add to a new book. One very serious issue you may run into wehn moving to a later version is that the text engines are updated and text won't necessarily flow exactly the same, particualry justified text, which can cause line endings to move and some paragraphs may gain or lose a line, which can have a really devastating effect on a long doc if it causes a page count to shift. The killer is that the changes normally don't happen until you start to edit text in that story. I believe the .inx route will force a recompose on opening, but I'm not dead certain, so take a look at http://indesignsecrets.com/force-text-reflow-when-indesign-forgets-to-flow-the-text.php to see how to force the recompose manually as soon as you open the file (you'd only need to do it once, before saving in the new version, for each file), then check carefully for oversets or other problems. Live preflight in CS5 can help with that.
As you can tell, a successful move to a newer version is likely to be a lot of careful work preparing and checking the files. Some of it can be automated (the export to .inx, the recompose, and the save in the new version) by scripting, but in all honesty you're going to need to check every page when you are done.
One of the others who uses Hyperlinks will need to weigh in on ID's native abilities and linking to other files in a book. I know that doing that with cross-references (which don't even exist natively prior to CS4) is extremely likely to break down at some point and leave you trying to remake them all, and large numbers of links across docs is likely to slow CS5 in particular to a crawl unless all files (at least the ones to which there are links in the doc you are editing) in the book are open.

Older Powerbook compatibility with New iPod?

I have an older version of the G4 powerbook and I would like to get an iPod, but it doesn't appear that I can use the two together because my computer does not have USB 2.0. It does however have Firewire. Is there a built in Firewire port on the newest version of the IPod or are these two pieces of equipment just incompatible? Thanks in advance.

Todd, Welcome to the discussion area!
You just need the Firewire adapter cable (M9127G/A). The new iPod works just fine with Firewire.

Check the Toshiba support page for your country and there you can find list of compatible options for each notebook model.

Compatability with New VM Fusion and Snow leopard 10.6.2

Any problems using the new version of VM Fusion with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate in VMWare Fusion and haven't had any problems with it at all. I don't print anything with it, though (I don't print much of anything on the Mac, either). It did hijack some file associations, like .doc, and wanted to launch the Windows VM with them, but that's easily fixed.

Airport Snow compatability with new MacBook Pro?

Hi
I was given an old Airport (one of the originals) "Snow" model and was wondering if there is an imcompatability issue with the new MacBook Pro laptops and their modern Airport Extreme Cards with the older basic Airports?
Anyone know if this is the case?

No.
An 802.11g (Extreme) client should be able to connect to a 802.11b (original Airport) base station.

Is FCP 7 compatable with 4K footage? Or 10?

I'm thinking of purchasing a 4K camera but I'm concerned about the ability of FCP 7 or 10 and will the program accept and edit with the footage? I know it works with the RED after some conversions. I would think since the recording format of mpg4 it is. Anyone have any experience?
Thanks

Apple stopped developing fcp7 a few years ago, well before Mt Lion was released so don't expect any updates from Apple. As far as problems go, I've had it installed for about a month without any issues. Do some searching here for other peoples experiences. FCP is an extremely complex program so problems that people have may or may not have anything to do with Mountain Lion.
To avoid any potential problems, it's always a good idea to follow accepted best practices
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
And it's always a good idea to have a clone of your startup drive before any major upgrades so you can return your system to it's working state.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2494
If you've got a macpro tower, you can have multiple drives installed internally so having multiple OS startup options can be a good idea. If you're working with a mac that doesn't allow multiple internal drives, you can always partition your internal drive and have mutliple startup options.
