I need your help regarding Macbook Pro with FCS3 via USB

Sorry for the double posting, I need your help...
I am producing an independent TV movie. We are shooting in HDV with a Sony Z5.
Currently I am using a 2007 iMac (1gb) for the FCS3. I am considering buying a Macbook Pro 15' i7, because I need the portability as well as a WD 1TB portable external drive.
Just when I am about to buy the machine I started to read all about the USB vs. the Firewire. What should I do? The MBP only have one firewire port...if I use an USB portable external drive means that I won't be able to use FCS3 properly and that buying a MBP will mean spending money in something that I won't be able to make it work properly??
Thanks for your help!!!!

Hi there,
As Patrick said its Firewire hubs you should avoid along with directly connecting your media drive via USB. USB hubs are fine for connecting peripherals (keyboards, tablets, mice etc). directly connecting USB media drives is not for streaming video due to their method of sending data in packets rather than as the continuous stream that firewire provides. Firewire hubs just seem to cause all sorts of headaches to those that have used them, I cant give you a specific reason other than splitting the available FW bandwidth (someone with more knowledge on this will have to chime in), its more just inherited practice.
cheers

  • Need your advices on MacBook Pro Retina

    Hi all !
    I'm in the market for getting a new laptop.
    To put you in context, I'm a student studying electronics. Normally, I know what I'm talking about ;-) lol
    I work as a park supervisor. I could not get a better summer job since I can study while working ! Every day, I sits in the park, turn on my laptop and start coding, reading and studying. Being paid to study is sincerly amazing ! ahah !
    So, I study most of the time in the park, on my laptop.
    I also have a powerful workstation (Asus P8P67 WS Revolution, Core i7 2700K 4.5 GHz, Asus GeForce GTX 680 DirectCUII, 16 GB RAM, RAID 0 SSD, a beautiful monster) for long works and coding session. I also do a lot of virtualization with VMWare Workstation. In fact, I've built a virtualization concept which segregates each tasks in different VMs.
    But, my laptop is an essential tool for me because I use it as much as my workstation. I'm used to carry it at school and at work. So usage is about 50/50 between my Workstation and my laptop.
    I started learning the CUDA API and massively parrallel programming. I bought the Cuda By Example book ( http://www.amazon.ca/CUDA-Example-Introduction-General-Purpose-Programming/dp/01 31387685 ). My Asus UL30VT has a CUDA-Capable GPU in it, along with the integrated Intel chipset. So I setup everything for Visual Studio, install the nVIDIA SDK, and start programming.
    Here comes the trouble.
    Neither Visual Studio nor the nVIDIA SDK (which contains code samples) see the GeForce G210M in my laptop.
    I searched a little over the internet and found that the integration of the graphics processors in this laptop is the worst kind of integration ever built in a laptop. The GPU switching technology is the "beta" version of the nVIDIA Optimus technology. The video drivers are more than obselete (197.xx driver version!!!!) and no more recent version is available, even with tweaks.
    Absolutely no CUDA code would run in my laptop.
    Sure, I could code on my workstation. But it's summer, and being stuck in the house basement while it's sunny outside ... ***** ... lol
    And as I said, since I study most of the time (~90%) in my park, it's not very usefull to have a laptop that cannot do what you want anymore...
    So I started my research to find a new laptop that would fit my needs. Easier to say than to do...
    There is one month, Apple has announced the new MacBook Pro 15 Retina Edition.
    I went in an Apple Store to take a look at these nothing else than piece of art.
    And you'll guess it : I've fallen in love with this machine.
    Thin, lightweight, good battery life, incredible display, amazing hardware. Everything on this laptop is incredible. Even the price ..................
    Sure, the non-retina display is also a good machine, but being used to an ultraportable laptop (pre-ultrabook fashion), I would like it to be has thin and light as possible. And the non-retina has less high-end hardware too...
    Since I saw this machine, the idea of getting one haunts me!
    I tell myself that I could do more shots with one rock. I could learn the OS X environment which is, according to everyone who has an Apple computer, the best working environment ever created. And since I do a lot of virtualization but never could do this with my ultra-low-voltage CPU, the MacBook would also enable this possibility.
    More and more programmers are adopting OS X to code. nVIDIA has also said that the new MacBook is one of the best CUDA development platform.
    ( http://blogs.nvidia.com/2012/06/new-macbook-pros-make-for-great-cuda-dev-platfor ms/ ). Sure, I have a long road to go throught before being a real developper, but as you might have seen, I like to work on things that really work well.
    So, the 2700$-question : according to you and all the details I wrote here, does a MacBook Pro would be a nice choice for me ?
    For this price (in Canadian dollars, I live in Montreal, Quebec), I have the MacBook, the Apple Care for 3 years and VMWare Fusion. It's a 400$-discount that I get because I'm a student (200$ on the machine, 100 $ on the Apple Care, and a 100$ gift card to get the iWork Suite and other softwares if needed).
    The Non-Retina model is not an option, since I must upgrade it with SSD, 8 GB RAM et would like a better screen resolution. With all these upgrades, it's even pricier than the Retina which come more equiped.
    I've looked to other laptop manufacturers too. Dell offers the XPS 15, but it's bulkier, doesn't feature has much as the MacBook, and I would not pay 1900 $ for a "Dell"......... Lenovo makes great laptop too, but I don't know ... Thinkpad are sure the reference as business laptops, but are heavy and bulky. Maybe I've missed a model... The IdeaPad is a nice ultrabook, but once again, it's an Ultra low voltage CPU, so virtualization would be so-so I guess... And Asus has nothing really exciting avalaible at NCIX (the main Asus online reseller in Canada and also the online shop where I buy all my system components).
    One other thing : with all non-Mac laptops, I'm at the "mercy" of the manufacturer regarding GPU drivers, just like my Asus UL30VT... Most of the time, the Verde drivers would not install and you get the very nice message "Please refere to your laptop manufacturer for drivers" ......... -_-"
    I request your experience and advice to clarify my choice.
    Thank you very much !!!

    I was going to try to convince you to go with a PC notebook, but I know nothing about them. As you're concerned about weight, CUDA development, etc., I think that the MBP-R would be an excellent choice. I'm in a wheelchair and carry my MBP around in my backpack on back of my chair, so I don't worry about weight too often...
    It sounds as if you're bright enough to be able to learn new things quickly, so there's no need, I think, to go with the usual "if you're already familiar with Windows, why not... etc."
    It also sounds as if you've both thought things through and have decided on what you need. My opinion? Go with your gut feelings and thoughts. Just remember that you're going to be on the bleeding edge, somewhat. There are some here who have had problems with their new MBP's - and not just the Retina models. But then, we don't hear about the thousands (tens of thousands?) out there who are having no problems.
    Three things to remember - if you have trouble with your new computer during the first two weeks, Apple will replace it, refund your money, whatever. Second, AppleCare (which I always buy) extends your one year warranty and 90-day phone support to a three year warranty with three years of phone support. And third, this is a large community and there will always be someone here who can help you through minor glitches you may have.
    Go with your gut - get that new MacBook Pro with Retina display. I'm sure that you'll be happy with it. I would go ahead, though, and pay the $79 for the external USB SuperDrive - not to carry around with you but just as insurance should you ever need an optical drive.
    Best of luck,
    Clinton

  • Help! Macbook Pro with Retina Display!

    Hi Apple community.
    I hope you can help me. 1 year has passed with my Macbook Pro with Retina display (15-incher). Got a small but visible ghostning. All the uper dock is visible in darker background. I couldn't believe it until I discovered with a bit of code and Terminal App, that I had LG screen which many said had problems. I thought I had a Samsung one since I really took care of it and never seemed to notice anything, until now. My guarantee just went out and I didn't purchase any Apple Care because I never thought I needed it and as a Student, my budget didn't allow. It took me 3 months to achieve the amount required for payment for this laptop. What can I do, is there a way Apple could show sympathy and repair my Macbook Pro? I live in Sweden and currently study. All the necessary programs are in my Macbook Pro.
    Please share some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

    Firstly, I'd like to know which will be the better base model as a notebook... if this is possible?
    But, for info sake, I will be using it for composing on Sibelius Software, lots of word processing and browsing.

    Thanks,

  • I am in China and need to buy a MacBook Pro with English as the core language. Where can I find one?

    I am in Jilin China and went to the local Apple resale store, but all the MacBook Pros with Retina Display have Chinese as the core language, and the store workers couldn't help me get English.  Where can I buy a BacBook Pro in China that has English as the core language?

    Not very bright of them.  Every Mac can be switched among 33 languages, including English, in a few seconds via the system preferences. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14211
    And in Chinese
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14211?viewlocale=zh_CN
    Along with that, when setting up a brand new Mac (or after install an fresh version of the OS), the first thing you have do is: select a language. That choice sets the language for the rest of the setup and the default. Pick English and you're done.
    But as Tom mentioned, that can always be changed.

  • Hi John I need your help regarding "Oracle EPM Health check" ?

    Hi,
    I need your views as we frequently start Hyperion services whenever it goes down (ex Workspace or EPMA or HFM).
    These services most of the time after restart does not work properly.
    Kindly suggest is it correct way to start only that service which stops or we need to bounce all Hyperion services?
    Secondly how to validate my Hyperion Environment if is it working properly.
    Version 11.1.1.3
    URL check may be OK but sometime URL opens but problem occurs after login.

    Thanks John,
    I agree with you.
    But situation is as we have multiple customers and multiple instances.
    case 1: worspace went down ---restarting only workspace services; is it correct as we do mostly?
    case 2: EAS and reporting may down---restrting only these two services; is it correct way to resolve issue?
    case 3: HFM web services may down: starting IIS, www, http and HFM; is it correct to resolve?
    we need to understand our resolution. OR we always go and stop Hyperion and start again Hyperion all services.

    I can't load youtube videos on my iphone or my mac like when I I try to watch them, the videos take a long time to load and keep pausing throughout the entire video. I have a Iphone 4 current vs 5.1 and I have a macbook pro snow leopard vs 10.6.8

    what model of MacBook Pro do you have?  The MBP must have Bluetooth 4 LE hardware internal in order for Handoff to work.  Anything other than that, and it will not work.  My 2011 MacBook Air, for example, does not have BT 4LE, and due to that cannot use Handoff

  • MacBook Pro with Third Party USB External Modem ? Drivers? Network Pane?

    I bought my brother a MacBook Pro last month, and he is using it fine in Pakistan with my Airport base station and cable internet access. Problem is when he is on the road, and using GPRS with his Sony Ericsson P900/910 is terribly expensive there. So, I have to send him an Apple USB modem (that I am yet to hear good things about). However, he does have an external third party USB modem that works fine with PC laptops. Are there any generic drivers for USB modems built into OS X in MacBooks? How would he go about using the external USB modem in Network control panel and using a generic driver?
    Is there a way to use Parallels (that he has) to connect to Internet from the Windoze USB modem and have MacOS X use the Windows connection as the "router"? Thanks.

  • How do i xfer audio from macbook pro to ipad via usb

    I have some audio loaded onto my MacBook Pro and my wife would like them on her iPad. I have read the iPad user guide, but the menus it discusses do not appear on my iTunes. I have loaded the compatible version of iTunes to my MacBook.

    Nice try. Really. Thanks.
    I have version 11.0.1 (12)
    The only button in the upper right corner is the iTunes store button.
    I looked at the link you furnished, and saw the iPad button to which you refer.
    The copy of the 11.0.1  I have does not show the iPad button.
    I then selected show sidebar, no help either.
    It shows library, store, genius, and playlists.
    No iPad.
    The real issue is that I was able to transfer some songs to the iPad a week or so ago. I thought that I had merely forgotten how.
    When I first tried to transfer that time I received the message that I needed to download a more recent version of iTunes. I did that, and, voila, I was able to transfer the songs. I just don't remember how. Obviously something has changed since then and I can't imagine what it is.
    Thanks for the effort. Do you have any other suggestions? I am willing to listen.

  • Need help regarding "Macbook Pro Distorted Video or No Video issues"

    Hi there, I'm new and I'm kinda need help or opinion from all of you Mac users.
    I have a MPB which is the first generation released 2005-2006, which its 4 years back. Now, the main problem is after 4 years of non-graphic problems, I encounter the NVIDIA graphics processor problems, which make my screen scrambled and unable to click or do anything. For some reason that Apple did say they will change/replace the graphic processor for free due faulty issue of the NVIDIA. But what I wanted to know and reconfirm is, since my MPB was 1st generation and version 2005/06, will Apple cover the change/replacement NVIDIA processor for free? Because I really need to have a confirmed answer before I went to the AASP in Malaysia, which I know they will make a fuss by asking me to pay with my previous incident which my battery deflect and charger/adapter melted. So, please kindly reply this post. Thank you for you time.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How about printing out the Apple article about this and taking it with you?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    However, if you really do have the first MBP introduced in January 2006, it actually has a different video chip, the ATI Mobility Radeon X 1600, which unfortunately is not the NVIDIA chip covered by the NVIDIA program. So if that's what you have, you are out of luck for a free repair. ATI Mobility Radeon chips can also go bad, but there is no program that I know of that will cover them.
    Sorry to not have better news for you.
    Good luck!

  • Boot Camp help on MacBook Pro with no DVD drive

    I purchased a 2010 15" Pro from a friend that just ordered a new Mac. He removed the CD and installed a 128 SSD as the primary drive and used a DVD shell kit that now houses the 2.5 SATA drive as the 2nd drive.
    I want to load Win 7 using Boot Camp but I am running into a problem. I have downloaded all of my drivers and have a USB DVD attached. I get as far as installing windows in the Boot Camp setup, the Mac reboots to install 7 but when it reboots I get a flashing icon at startup the switches between an 'X', an 'apple' logo and the 'NO' symbol (circle with a slash).
    How do you load windows with no DVD?
    I made a bootable USB from my 7 ISO but that doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestion?
    Mike P

    ISO issue: burn to DVD has to use another program or if you use Disk Utility use the slowest 2x burn speed
    A driver is provided in download for MacBook Air models that lack a DVD.
    Swap the superdrive back for the install is what 98% finally bit the bullet and works.
    There is also an issue with having two drives present during Windows install.
    So you need a USB-DVD driver on USB flash for those Macs that do not have a DVD (no one uses CDs)

  • Need your help regarding Conditional Chart Data formatting

    I have just started using BI, so I am sorry if what I am asking is a FAQ or a very simple question.
    I have a Line Bar Combo chart whose bars I have colored differently according to some conditions. When I drill down from a year/month series to the day of a particular month, though, the conditional formatting is lost.
    http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5677/biimage.jpg
    Can anyone suggest me if I am missing something in the program options or if there is any workaround to this behavior?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Letz say you have colored the year black when it is 2008 and you display it in the graph and while you drill down from year to quarter in the back ground an adiitional column will be added (Quarter) and the conditional formatting will be still there for the year but will be very small(like a dot) as your quarter is exposed on the X axis.
    The deeper you drill the wider your x-axis will be and the smaller your formatting looks.
    You cant controll the drill. It will mimic what is present in the compound layout set up at the parent level.If you need to avoid multiple columns appearing on your X-axis and do some changes to your graphs then you need to navigate
    instead of drill. if the report is 3 levels deep then it has to be 3 diff reports(maintenance will be high)
    It will be seemless to the users whether you navigate or drill. Just a suggestion. There are some things which we need to compromise :)
    Thanks

  • Is an anti-virus needed for a new macbook pro?

    Is an anti-virus needed for a new macbook pro with retina display?

    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
    Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
    Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
    Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
    Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
