FCP Studio HD now running on my MacBook Pro!
Having installed the latest version of Final Cut Studio HD yesterday (a crossgrade) on my new MacBook Pro (2ghz, 2g ram) I can say that things do seem to be much smoother and faster compared to the same setup om my iMac G5 (2ghz, 2g ram).
There are no noticable updates to the user interface but scrubbing on the timeline and rendering of effects, in particular the handling of HDV footage feels more responsive.
In Motion I noticed that particle effects preview much more smoothly also.
On the whole, although I have yet to really make this system "cook", it feels more responsive and smoother than my other system. So far, so good.
One note though, projects from older versions of FCP have to go through a format conversion process when opened in FCP 5.1. Projects created in FCP 5.1 cannot be opened in older versions of FCP. As someone pointed out this may be easy to work around using XML. If you are working on one platform this should not even be an issue.
Wrighty.
Yes, have to say that so far I am well chuffed!
I am about to edit a feature length comedy film on the setu-up, so that will be a big test.
Just noticed that compressor also rips through encoding with much greater speed speed. Although I must say those MacBook Pro's give off some serious heat when being pushed. So keep em off your lap!
Wrighty

Running an fcp studio project (5.0.4) on macbook pro software
I'm running a project on final cut pro studio 5.0.4 and would like to
screen footage on a laptop - preferably on a new macbook.
i'm wondering if i can run a project that's compatible with both versions of the software. i'd like to screen and select scenes on my laptop - and then bring the sequences back into my fcp studio project.
thanksBoth versions of what software? You mean FCP 5.0.4 and FCP 5.1?
While you can open and update a 5.0.4 project to 5.1, once you do that you cannot open that project in 5.0.4. At that point you need to export an XML of the sequence and import that XML into 5.0.4.

stevenFirst, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.

Running an old MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 Duo. Battery went chemical meltdown and expanded out of its housing. Removed it and was running off the power cord. This worked for a while. Now it won't start up. Have a Replacement on order. Is there a bigger issue or does a battery need to be in the compartment to boot up? Appreciate any help. Thanks.
Working battery needs to be in for the computer to function.

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??
Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
Did you try to deselect Wi-Fi syncing and enable it again after that?
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
Did you already transfer your purchases and manually started a backup? -
I had a new MacBook Pro that was damaged and I am now using a different MacBook pro as my primary computer (running yosemite 10.10.1).
I did uninstall the Creative Cloud off the old MacBook before I stopped using it.
I have downloaded the Creative Cloud and signed in using my adobe username and password, but when I went to download the Photoshop App it is only giving me the TRIAL VERSION.
How do I make sure that the apps are the full version that I have already paid for? (I do know that my subscription is still current)
Thanks for your help
- ShawnShawn I would recommend utilizing the steps in Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html to resolve the connection error which is likely preventing the software from authenticating.

Now that the new macbook pro has usb 3.0, is there a way to convert my current macbook's usb 2.0 to 3.0?
No you can not.
You can connect USB 3 components to you MB if you wish to use them but will only run at USB 2 specs. -
VMWare running on a MacBook Pro.Which one ?, VMWare running on a MacBook Pro.Which one ?
Good morning people !
I currently have a MacBook Pro 15" Duo core 2008 model running the latest OSX.
I need to have Windows on my machine because of the accounts software, currently I am using VM Ware Fusion 3.
My machine has really slowed down now and I think it is time for a new MacBook Pro.
I know that the new processors are available on the 13" in i5 and i7, and the 15" has a quad core i7.
I do not at present use iMovie although I may get into it later on. I have CS Suite 5 for Dreamweaver and Photoshop.
My question is, as I am running a virtual machine most of the time and I need it on most of the time too, would you recommend an i5 processor or the i7 quad core for doing the sort of work I do (no gaming at all)
I can either buy a new i5 13" or a better spec Early 2011 model i7.
Views please....Thanks Sig
I have now ordered an 15" MacBook Pro quad core i7.
Will upgrade the RAM ASAP. -
East/West Gold - Can I run it on MacBook Pro w/ Logic Pro?
I heard "somewhere" that East/West products have trouble running on a MacBook Pro w/ Logic Pro. Any feedback?
I have also heard that if I buy East/West products I now have to buy a separate "player" (like Kontakt) in order to run them on a MacBook, although what I'm reading is that this is only true for previous versions, not new purchases. Anybody heard any of this?
Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom!EWQLSO traditionally comes with the Kompakt player, which NI are not updating for MacIntel, so it won't run as is on a Macbook.
However, you have two choices now. You can either buy Kontakt, which is available as a UB for MacIntel machines, and which should%% load the libraries, or EastWest have developed their own player software. Whether you get it free or have to pay the upgrade depends on when you purchased it - if you haven't bought yet, you'll (I think) get the new player for free.
Do check when the player comes out though, I don't think it's ready yet, but could be mistaken.
You can get details of this at www.soundsonline.com
%%Note: Kontakt should load the libraries, but there has been a longstanding authorisation bug in Kontakt which sometimes prevents this. There are easy workarounds on the PC (registry editing) but none that I've seen on the Mac. Some people have had no problems, other people just cannot load encrypred libraries at all - so do check anddo some research before purchase.
You can always post in the Soundsonline forum for more details. -
Over 10 years I have built several databases with Appleworks. Now I have a macbook pro. How can I translate these databases to a 10.6.8 program?
Thanks Joe, but that won't work. I've finally found a site that answers the question: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/aw/page1.html
I can only say that by Apple I have been royally screwed. I'll never buy another mac -- everything I do would simply disappear into cyberspace. -
Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java
Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop. Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer. How I can fix this?
Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer. -
my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
