FCP and new MacBook Pro

I've heard that Final Cut Pro will not work on the new Mac Book Pro laptops.
Has anyone else heard this? It may take some time before they get an upgrade fror this.
I'm keen to upgrade from my 17" Powerbook G4 to the new MacBook Pro for video editing, using photoshop and after effects etc. Has anyone else heard about speed improvement in this area?
Thanks for any comment.

Yes, I believe to some degree they needed to get something out there and this is filler. I've been wanting a new 15", but will continue to use my old one. I believe it is more pro than the new MBP. I am not one of those complainers, but I live by my pci slot, especially on location, and the express/34 situation is a nightmare right now. I've read a few posts on different forums about the fw400 port not getting enough power and it being traced to the built-in isight. I don't know if it's true, but wouldn't be surprised.

Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.

As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

FCP on New MacBook Pro 15" Appears Black!

Loaded FCP 7.0 on new MacBook Pro (15") and when I open the program the screen is black. If I take cursor to corner and show all applications I see the windows that make up FCP. When I select one of them the screen is black again.

Press ESC...or Apple-F12. For some reason it is launching in FULL SCREEN DISPLAY mode, or Digital Cinema Desktop.

Internet problem with New Airport Extreme base and new Macbook Pro

So I bought a Airport Extreme base station with my new Macbook pro.
My desktop system uses a DSL modem which is connected to my computer via an ethernet cable. It works flawless. I can also unhook the hard ethernet connection from the desktop and connect it to the Macbook Pro with no problems.
I then connected the ethernet cable from the DSL router to the WAN port on the Airport Base.
I have no problem gettiing the Macbook pro to set itself up on the Airport Network. I can NOT, though, access the internet. I even tried to type in the IP address for the DSL modem while connected to Airport base and can not connect to modem. Does anyone have any advice? Is there a bridging function in the Airport Base that has to be activated?
Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
Thanks,
Danny

Make sure you perform a complete power recycle when switching network components.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the DSL modem & AEBS. (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the DSL modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
If that doesn't resolve the problem, and your DSL ISP requires PPPoE for connectivity, you will need to set that up on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as follows:
Connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, check these settings:
Internet tab
- Connect Using: PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
- Account Name: <ISP account name>
- Change password: <ISP password>
- Always stay connected (checked)
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
No, the AEBS will no longer be required.

Final Cut 4.5 and New MacBook Pro

I've been out of the loop for a while. I had a 1.5ghz Powerbook and Final Cut HD, etc. I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and was suprised to see that I could not open Final Cut Pro anymore (says I don't have an AGP card). What're my options? Thanks

You need the Intel version of FCS, which is version 2.
Should run you about $499.00 when it ships next month.
Apple has an inexpensive upgrade available for nearly fifteen months and was promptly displayed at its web site.
That expires on March 19th.
It pays to stay in the loop I guess.
I'm less patient than Jim.

Airport express and new macbook pro

my daughter has just purchased a new macbook pro and we have set up the airport express. her macbook tells her that she is connected to the airport express but she can not load safari.

Hello Jodi Meyer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
How do you have the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) configured to get Internet access? That is, do you have it connected directly to another router or modem? If so, what is the make/model number of that other device?

23" Cinema HD display and new MacBook Pro

I bought my G5 and HD Cinema display in 2005 and am thinking of switching out the G5 for a MacBook Pro. Is there an adapter I can get to allow me to plug in my display to the new MacBook Pro?
Thanks
Q

I have had this laptop since May and have had nothing but difficulty setting it up screens with it. The mac mini DVI port *** the big one. It is trash as nothing else is compatible with it.
I bought a 24 inch Apple monitor for $999 and can only use this macbook with it. I have two other laptops and none of them are compatible with the new screen - frustrating.
I have tried to hook up the mini DVi port of the MacBook Pro to my new 40 SONY Bravia 120hz LCD screen. It won't work! My three other Mac laptops do fine. In fact my 1992 laptop using mac os 9 works with the screen. The new Mac no way!
I have bought 3 plugs to adapt to my multi screens, they had older DVI plugs. set up, now find that I need another one for the SONY. I had a mac tower G5 that I hooked up to 3 screens with no problems. Try to plug in the MacBook - crap it won't work.
I am angry. I have a $999 monitor that I can only use with one laptop and now I have TV that won't work with the MacBook.
I'm taking this POS back to the shop and buying a clone PC that will work.Mac are you listening - I shouldn't have to buy a new cord for every screen that I own!
I was going to use the Mac Book pro as a server for music and movies by hooking it up to the SONY. THat was a bust too. I'm buying a Western Digital TV box it's cheaper than all of the cables that I need.
Sorry Mac you have let me down with this compatibility issue. What were you thinking? Corner the market on stupid! Oh wait I'm the stupid one for trying to stay true to Mac and spending $3000 plus on a stand alone non compatible system.
I have a 24" screen that is not compatible with any of my other computers because MAC doesn't make patch boxes and I have MAC Book Pro that I can't use with my SONY.
Shop very carefully before you choose this model of screen and mac book.

Wireless keyboard A1016 and new MacBook Pro

I have searched but can't find whether my old Apple wireless keyboard (white case) is compatible with my new MacBook Pro. My computer finds the keyboard but then asks for a passcode and it doesn't connect. Maybe I need a firmware update??

{quote}Thank you for your help.{quote}
No problem. I love my white plastic Bluetooth keyboard with the NUMERIC KEYPAD! I plan on using until I die or Apple offers another Bluetooth keyboard with the numeric keypad. I'm sure there are lots of others that feel the same way.

Blackberry Curve 8310 and New Macbook Pro

I have a year old 8310 and a brand new Macbook Pro. I have downloaded Pocket Mac for Blackberry but my Macbook will not recognize my 8310. I have been told that BB is working on a fix, but does anyone have a time frame? I really don't want to wait until 2010 to get this fixed.
Solved!

Un-updated iPhone4 and new macbook pro issues

Because of issues with my old PC I have been unable to update my iPhone 4 for about a year and a half now. My old PC crashed and now I am left with an unupdated iPhone 4 and a new Macbook Pro. I have already transfered my purchased music into my new Macbook, but I am worried that when I try to update my iPhone I will lose my 1,800 some unpurchased songs. I backed up my iPhone 4 in my iTunes,and it finished backing up extremely fast so I'm left in doubt that it backed up my unpurchased music.Does this mean my unpurchased music has also been backed up? I'm aware that my iphone will have to be restored though the updating process, and eventually restored from the back up. In other words, should my new itunes library have a back up of all of my unpurchased music, and if not what should I do?

My old computer is crashed so I unfortunately cannot refer back to it although all of those unpurachased songs were indeed on there. I don't have a problem with my purchased songs. I just want to make sure when I update my iphone I will not lose my unpurchased songs. Are my unpurchased songs backed up on my new macbook if i backed up my iphone in my new macbook's iTunes?

Data Projector and new MacBook Pro 15"

I am about to take possession of a new MacBook Pro 15“
Which slot do I plug my data projector in?
I am a teacher and I use a data projector regularly but on looking at the new MBP I cannot see the usual plugs. Do I need to purchase new leads/cables?

Graham
I assume you are referring to the new unibody MacBook Pro. The unibody portables use the new mini displayport. http://www.apple.com/nz/macbookpro/features-15inch.html. Depending on your projector, you will need one of two adapters:
Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

Winmagic Securedoc and New Macbook Pro for Full Disk Encryption (FDE)

Hi, I wonder if anyone had any experience with this. I've installed a seagate Momentus FDE drive (...421 series) on my new macbook pro and tried installing Winmagic securedoc to manage full disk encryption. It seems that despite all their recommendations re: hibernatemode and lidwake and sleep vs hibernation, the MBP crashes when I close the lid and then awaken it (by opening and pressing the power button). It cannot be awakened via an external keyboard either. Note that both hibernate and sleep work fine without securedoc. As securedoc appears to be the only viable FDE solution, I'd really like to get it working. Has anyone had any luck getting it to work with the new MBPs?

PGP is another alternative as I have used it for the past few years on all of my Macbook Pros. I also own SecureDoc but have not installed it on the new Macbook yet.
I do know that PGP disables hibernate during the install as it can cause problems.

Captivate and new Macbook Pro Retina???

Hello,
I just spent about $3000 on a new Macbook Pro with Retina display and am very worried indeed! Captivate 5 runs fine for editing but no for recording. When i capture a screen shot the resolution is completely wrong! It comes up all zoomed in and weird. Is this because of the amazing display on the macbook pro? Does captivate 6 address this issue? What can I do to get around it?
Thanks

Thanks Kurrykid. A quick google search and I see that the Techsmith issues are well documented and a fix has already been released for SnagIT. How about Captivate? There is nothing online elsewhere about this issue. Is the same problem occuring with Captivate 6?

Photoshop cs6 and new MacBook Pro

I want to upgrade to a new MacBook Pro I will use it for photography hobby to process 36 meg files from Nikon D800E, I will be running Lightroom 5 , Photoshop CS6 along width other related plug ins, I am NOT a gamer do I need the discrete graphics card or is the integrated card sufficient?
Thank you for any input you can provide.
Mike

I found this somewhat-dated information at the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/creativesuite/production/cs6/ pdfs/adobe-hardware-performance-whitepaper.pdf
It seems to indicate that it might be wise to have a video card if you do things like video editing.

Problem with Itunes and new Macbook Pro

I just purchased a Macbook Pro, my first Apple computer ever though I have other Apple products (iPad, iPod, iPhone). All of my iTunes music and playlists are on my Dell PC at work. My hope is to transfer my music to my new Mac (at home) so that I have more room for actual work items on my computer at the office.
I had no trouble transferring the songs (via my iPod) the songs are there but the playlists are not listed on my new computer (the Mac). Is Mac compatible with making playlists in iTunes and if so how can I get those lists back other than paistakingly creating all 45 play lists one by one again?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Do you have an external hard drive? If you do, connect the drive to the PC. Copy the iTunes Folder and all the media and various library files it contains from the PC to the drive. Connect the drive to the Mac. Copy the folder and replace the folder on the Mac in your Home > Music with the one from the PC. Start iTunes and it will now be pretty much identical to the one that was on the PC. Caution: If you have put things on the Mac that were not on the PC then you will need to change the process a bit.
Some information:
What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
