FCP Automatically Connects to Old Computer

I am using FCP 6 on my mac pro but sometimes it automatically connects to my imac and I am unable to disconnect. I tried unplugging my network connection and opening up fcp but it won't open and tries searching to connect to the imac. I'm confused on why this happens only sometimes. I know for sure that every file in a project I am trying to opening is on my local computer and is not needing to use the imac. Even without having a project opened fcp tries to connect to my imac. I am not using a server and saving all videos to my local computer. Hopefully this is enough information. Any help on this would be fantastic and very helpful.

it automatically connects to my imac
What do you mean by "connect"? When starting up, FCP does look for any scratch disc you've assigned in preferences ... but it doesn't "connect" to another computer. However, it WILL look over a network for any computer running the same copy of FCP (which isn't allowed in the SLA).

  • How do I enable my IPod Touch Photostream to automatically connect to my computer using WIFI?

    I recently reinstalled IExplorer 9, Adobe Flash player 11.* and ICloud, I am now unable to connect automatically to Photostream through WIFI between the IPod and computer.  The photostream icon on the setup screen is not bold so I cannot select it.  The Bookmarks, however, is.  I assume one of the settings are not turned on but can't it.

    Notice the photostream is not hi-lighted so I cannot select to enable. Tried photostream troubleshooting but no resolutution.

  • Have a new computer want to sync songs with iphone that is connected to old computer

    have a new laptop
    have iphone synced to old laptop (now broken)
    want to sync iphone to new itunes but not lose all songs saved on phone
    why do apple make things so hard? please help

    You are not addressing Apple, this is a user to user support forum. iTunes has always been designed to sync one way, from iTunes to the device. iDevices have always been able to sync to only one computer. It is the user's responsibility to back up their devices to minimize impact in case of failures. The reason this is designed this way also has to do with pirating music, sharing of music with people that do not have authorization to have it due to copyright laws.
    I'm sorry, I cannot see why you not having a backup of your computer is Apple's concern. I'd be willing to be that you have not set up any system for backing up your new computer either. Do you backup your iPhone?

  • Why is my phone automatically connecting with my computer( txt msg, notifications, etc.)???

    like i said

    If by continuity you mean handoff or other functions like that ,then i think i have all that stuff turned off and I'm still getting notifications and txt on my computer.Furthermore, if the user has to go into all kinds of sub menus to turn off an annoyance, then this just adds  another reason apple products can be very annoying. there should be one submenu to control connectivity and also the ability to turn it off all together if one wants to. Is there an actual connectivity menu I'm not seeing somewhere? iPhone 6 8.1 / Mac pro running yosemite

  • What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    Thank you LowLuster,
    At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire.  But looking at wires on line has been confusing.  Is sata the same as esata?  How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

  • Using Home Sharing to transfer itunes library from old computer to new but connection keeps timing out...anyone have a solution?

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to use Home Sharing to import my itunes library from my old computer to new (as per instructions on this site), but the connection keeps "timing out" and so the import gets cut short.
    Both computers have the new itunes (I updated them last night), but only seem to get about 5 minutes (or 100 songs in) before the connection error occurs.
    I have an external hard drive and would use it to transfer my library (which is ~45GB) however my old computer isn't recognizing the hard drive so I thought Home Sharing was a good option...perhaps I was wrong?
    Help Please!
    Thanks

    You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
    Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

  • C'ant connect to my old computer from my new.

    I am new in networking. There is my problem:
    I am using 2( I-mac). One is a G OS 10.5.8 and the other is a 3.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 10.6.2.
    I created a local network through a wireless Lynksys router.
    On each computer I selected (share files) on the preferences.
    I am able to connect to my new computer from my old one but I cant connect to my old from my new computer. When I try to connect to my old, I have this message: It's possible that the G server doesn't exist or is not available. Verify the name or the IP address of the server of your local network and try again.
    Is somebody there who can help me.
    Thank-you

    Thank-you for the help but still cant connect from the new computer. It works fine from my old and the settings are the same on both. When I try to connect from my new computer, I see my old computer name under Share menu then I select it and it try to connect and it fail. A technician at Apple told me that it might be a firmware problem. I am not please with this answer. Two I-Mac that can't connect?........

  • I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

    I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • When I had my old blackberry connected to my computer, all incoming emails were routed to my outlook so I did not get mails on my blackberry.  How do I get it so my iphone4 does not receive emails when connected to my computer?

    I am getting my iphone inbox bombarded so would like it to not receive emails when connected to my computer.  My old blackberry had an app that took care of this which worked really well.  Am wondering if I can do the same with my iphone4.

    Blackberries were/are able to do that with some types of e-mail accounts because the mail is routed to an intermediary (BlackBerry Service).
    There is no equivalent for the iPhone as the phone communicates directly with the mail servers and does not go through a 3rd party.

  • New iPod won't connect to a computer installed w/ old iPod

    I just purchased a new 2nd gen. iPod nano to replace my 2 year old iPod mini. My laptop recognizes my mini fine, but won't even detect my new nano. Why is this? I saw in the other topic that a BIOS update would do the trick, but I updated and the computer still won't recognize. What can I do?
    Thanks for your help
    Dani

    This could be caused by Windows drive letter confusion on your computer. Have you tried assigning your Mini a different drive letter?
    Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
    Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode, and follow these steps:
    1 - Don't plug in your iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect your iPod to the computer.
    5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
    For more details, see this article:
    Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
    If that fails to get your new nano recognized by your computer, try the steps and suggestions in these links below:
    iPod missing in My Computer or in iTunes
    iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod
    iPod not recognzied on a laptop through USB connection
    Also, this possibility: Fast user switching on a Windows computer is not supported for iPods
    I hope that helps you.

  • How do I transfer itunes library from an old computer that is not internet connected to a new computer that is internet connected?

    We have an old computer that is broken so no internet connection possible, but now want to transfer our iTunes Library from old computer to our new computer.  Can it be done and if so how?

    You will have to use a storage device to do so, such as a hard drive or media disk(DVD).
