FCPX not working. Should I try FCP 7?
I've read through the support communites and have tried the trial version of FCPX with the same choppy, poor performance as everyone else is describing. I'm really bummed because looking at the user interface of FCPX, it seems like its exactly what I wanted....however, if I can't use it, I guess its worthless.
Through everything I've read, it sounds like FCP7 will work just fine on my computer. Can anyone confirm this for me? And if it will work well, can anyone point me in the right direction to download or purchase a copy of FCP7?
Also, what are major differences, advantages, and disadvantages of each??
Here's my system info if it helps:
2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB VRAM
OSX Lion 10.7.2
Thanks very much for any help you all can provide!

In most cases of bad performance it is the user who is to blame.
Often people's computers are in a terrible condition with hard drives nearly full and fragmented and the computer never having been switched off.
All computers should be turned off at night (unless there is a special reason not to) as they will be refreshed and perform at their max on being restarted.
Hard Drives should never be allowed to get more than 75% full and for video a separate USB 2.0 or FireWire HD should be used to minimise strain on the system HD.
You're giving out mis-information...
Computers... especially Mac computers do not have to be turned off at night, OSX usually does it's self maintenance work at night when computer is not being used. If you want to reboot the machine in the morning to clear the memory, fine but the computer Does Not need to be turned off at night. In fact, I believe Apple recommends leaving the computer on so OSX can run it's drive maintenance routines.
There is also the fact that continuously switching an electrical appliance on/off shortens the life of some components.
Also, FCPX has some serious faults, it's not always the user that's to blame.

My login password is not working when i try to log in to my macbook air. what should I do?

Thanks, DeboraYou can reset the password.
How you do it though depends on the version of OS X you are running.
On Lion or Mountain Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.
If you are using the Keychain, you will lose your existing one, and have to start a new one, unless you remember the old password. -

iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project. I googled the problem and there were discussions about deleting files in various folders and renaming clip extensions. I don't like the solutions I saw there and I am not sure they will work.
Nobody replied so I called Apple. They seemed to think they could fix the problem but I had to agree to pay about $20 first. I told them to put it down as a complaint. I only want to use the software I bought. I can't see that it is my fault it is malfunctioning. I guess I will have to pay. It doesn't seem right.

Is this bad?
No. Ignore it.
What does this mean?
That you have the current OS version installed.
As far as I know, I have not installed any Remote Access software on my Mac.
It's part of the OS.

I just received an iPad mini for Christmas but the camera is not working. Neither is the photo booth app. I need suggestions on what I can try to correct it or should I just return it?
Thanks; I tried this last night and it didn't work. I think it might be a software issue and will return it tomorrow. I'll try restoring one more time.

my apple tv is not working every time i try to download a movie it says error try again later
I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. -

Um my mic does not work I've try every thing help??
It's still not working
- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My serial number for photoshop 7 will not work if I try to install in vista//????
i am trying to sinstall photoshop version 7 to Vista. The serial number does not seem to be anthing close to what it needs to install.
Any help.>does it not work on vista at all?? i can tbelieve that
Why not? Vista is a MAJOR change from what was used when P7 was written
Both Microsoft AND Apple (ala Snow Leopard OS) are known to break things with each new version of their operating system software
Even within Microsoft, the Office 97 I use with WinXP does not work with Vista or Windows 7
When I build a 64bit computer next year and start using Win7 64bit, I will have to buy a new MS Office and all new Adobe CS5 software -
i have a macbook that was resantly upgrade we running Yosemite 10.9 OS and the external hard drive is fairly current brand name WD capacity 500GB with 147GB free lots of its contents are QuickTime Player videos that will like to open some other media is available in different format and is working properly, i have download a more current version of QuickTime Player and it sound better at list sound like it is going to star playing but it don't... so please if some one can help me with some answers will be real appreciate , thank you kindly looking forward to hear from you is my first time asking questions about apple it feels a bit like a shoot in the dark !
Is the friend's external drive where you said these files are, correctly formatted
for use with Mac OS X, or is it set up for use solely with a Windows format?
If you copy one of the QuickTime files into a folder, in your computer and try
to run it from there, does it work at that point? It may not. Could be the drive
you borrowed from a friend has some other issue; perhaps creator account
and permissions may also be limited by how the content was added there.
There is way too much missing information for me to guess, but I wonder about
how the hardware was set up and if the files are actually available to your Mac.
The QuickTime support page itself should be a portal to more information...
QuickTime
The above link is part of this larger section:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac-apps/
Perhaps someone will see this ASC discussion thread later in the day (2AM here)
and maybe can offer a more direct reply. There are several articles in Apple Support
database for applications and other items (such as QuickTime) & the support site is
searchable. Sometimes the database is hard to find exact articles or topics, though.
Hopefully the issue is not too difficult to determine the cause...
Good luck & happy computing! -
When I tried to set up the sync service, Firefox said the sync key was not the right one. It should work as I used it on multiple times. The only difference is that this is Ubuntu Oneiric, freshly installed.
Then it offered me to reset the sync key and I did that. It did not say anything about loosing data and I reset it. Now I can't acces my bookmarks.
Is there a way to restore the old bookmarks? I can provide you with all necessary data.
Thanks a lot!I never received "that" window, every time i try to use sync, it says "Set up Sync", then pair a device or create an account. If i try to create an account, it says my email is in use. I can log into the portal, but not use sync.
