I'm a new potential FCP X user.  Can I buy software to load onto my imac and macbook pro or is FCP X only available as a download?  I'd like to be able to edit on the road as well as at home.

Here's a short tutorial video about how to move back and forth between your base computer and the on-the-go machine.  Very important info about which things can be copied within Finder and which things MUST be copied from within FCP X.  Best wishes.

  • What's the best way to share my Aperture and FCPX projects between an iMac and MacBook Pro?

    Greetings,
    I own both an iMac and MacBook Pro and I'm interested in figuring out the best way to have access to my iTunes, Aperture and Final Cut Pro X files not only when I'm at home using the iMac, but when I'm out and about with the MBP.
    I'm sure there are others among us who require a similar setup so I was hoping you guys could share with me how you solved this little problem, and also inform me of any potential negatives for your method so that I'm well prepared. Thanks.

    Best is a subjective term, as it will ultimately come down to preference. The fastest however, would be to wait until they market has a few thunderbolt drives available for purchase...
    But like the first poster stated, a firewire 800 drive, would be the more convenient choice for now. Or you could set the shared folder on your iMac to be avaible on your network and use it to allow your MBP to access it wirelessly.
    Obviously whatever you change, just save it back to the same folder on the iMac. Keep in mind it will not be as fast as the first suggestion (unless it is a wired network), but may be usefull for smaller files.
    However, you should have everthing backed up via an external drive, that is always useful...

  • AirDrop used to work between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Now, when I try to transfer a file (either direction) I get a message that my certificate is invalid or that the file has not been accepted. What do I do?

  • I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

    Hi!
    I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

    Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

  • My iMac and MacBook Pro have stopped being able to find one another.

    I have been sharing files between my iMac and MacBook Pro.  Recently they have stopped being able to detect one another.  When I look in the sidebar of the Finder window, neither computer shows the other.  I have file sharing enabled for both computers.  This is a recent problem, and I'm not sure what has changed.  I may have updated software - but don't remember what or when, as I tend to automatically do so when an update becomes available.  I would appreciate any help that you can give.
    Thanks,
    Linda

    Eric,
    Thank you.  I had all my settings right - I had checked and double checked.  The one thing I had failed to do - which is the one thing that often helps - is to shut everything down and restart.  I shut the router and the computers down and restarted them one at a time.  They are once more talking to each other.
    Thank you again,
    Linda

  • IMac and Macbook Pro no longer connecting to the Wifi?

    Hi there,
    I've been in London this weekend, only to return home to find issues connecting to my wifi. Weirdly, it's only the iMac and Macbook Pro having trouble, everything else is connecting fine e.g iPad, Phone, Android Tablet etc.
    I'm getting disconnected around every 20 seconds and cannot figure it out! It's so frustrating as I'm wondering if there's been an update released for OS X that it has downloaded recently? Especially seeing that when I run windows from bootcamp on my iMac, it doesn't disconnect. And I also don't believe it's an issue with the hub.
    Has anyone got any suggestions? I've tried removing the network and re-adding, help for about an hour but still not much use.
    Thanks, Matt

  • Can some one help me reinstall my MP640 software on my Imac and macbook pro? as the software does not recognise os 10.7.5

    My Imac and macbook pro stopped accessing my MP640 via the home wifi set up, so I sent all the canon software to the trash on both computers, thinking I should reinstall the software I got with the printer, but the software does not recognise os 10.7.5. I am using a netgear modem. I also use time machine to back up to time capsule.

  • HT1270 Used the right memory, both for my iMac and MacBook Pro, iMac worked, MacBook Pro didn't start (warning tone). Any idea?

    Used the right memory according to page, both for my iMac and MacBook Pro, iMac worked, MacBook Pro didn't start (warning tone).
    Any idea?

    I suggest you buy your memory from OWC or DataMem. Both guarantee the memory works or will replace it if it does not, no questions asked, within their 30 day return period. I've used both for over 20 years, and no complaints.

  • Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

    I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

    Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
    And are there usually full bars?

    An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
    I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
    You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
    Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
    Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
    If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
    On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

    WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
    The drive is approximately 4 years old.  When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data.  It appears to be working properly.  The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it.   Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems.   I have tried two separate USB cords.  I have updated the firmware.  I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.  
    All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
    Disk Not Ejected Properly
    Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
    Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem.   Does anyone know the solution?
    Thanks,

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • I am moving my US iMac and macbook pro to Ireland.  Where can I get the right power cords

    I am moving to Ireland.  I have several mac products.  I have 2 iMac, and 3 laptops, plus all the other "fun" apple stuff.  Apple TV, iPad, iPods, phones)
    I need to get a power supply for both the iMacs and MacBooks.  Any suggestions, I can't seem to find them on line at the apple website.

    Yes. Just make sure to deactivate the license on both systems using Apple menu --> Deactivate while one of the suite programs is running.
