I Was About to Set Up Two New Edit Stations with FCPX... What Do I Do Now?

I've cut on all kinds of nonliner software, but I've always prefered Final Cut Pro. I like using Motion aswell. I’m about to purchase two new editing systems for my TV station and I was hoping to set these work stations up with FCPX. Right now the station uses older Avids. Unless Apple addresses these issues, I can’t go with FCPX. I’ve used Final Cut Pro for ten years. I’m a huge fan and I hope Apple doesn’t ignore these problems. I can’t believe this is the end of the line for Final Cut Pro. Now I'm thinking of using CS5 Adobe Production Premium instead of FCPX.
I cannot believe Apple really understands the ramification of what they’ve done and how it affects thousands of professional editors, production facilities, television and network creative services departments world-wide. We have supported them and have helped them make Final Cut Pro what it is today. I can’t believe they’ve abandoned us in order to simplify Final Cut, dumb it down for the pedestrian consumer.
It’s like Coke scraping their original recipe and starting over with “New Coke.” This is a massive marketing and product blunder. Hopefully Apple will come out with Final Cut Classic, for those who need to use Final Cut professionally.

With this release, Apple has made it very clear that there isn't enough money in the professional NLE market. I suggest people look at the other alternatives out there. I can relate to your anger, but the fact remains that the divorce is most likely final and its time to make money using another product.

HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

HT203433 I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need

I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need to do?

You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account.

My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?

I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. Help!

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

Hi, I set up my new iPhone S4 with iclouds. So the data of my old S3 should move to the S4. However, some applications could not be loaded on the S04. Now some apps are loaded and others not . How can I progress?

Thanks. I can change the forwarding settings in Gmail to be either POP or IMAP. That is quite simple. I just looked at those settings on the Gmail server and, to my surprise, both are enabled. In order for outlook client on my computer to receive IMAP emails I have to change the email account settings in my current outlook from POP to IMAP. I don't need to be using the Exchange version of Outlook to receive IMAP. I guess I'll do a little research tomorrow on Exchange so i can figure out what, if anything, it might do for me.
I glanced at the link you sent me and it looks like it might be very helpful - another project for tomorrow.
BTW: I hit "This Solved my Question" by accident. I meant only to "like' your response so you would get some benefit from the help you've given me so far. I hope I haven't discouraged others from taking a shot at helping me. I suspect there is more than one way to approach this and, as you know, my problem isn't really solved until I have what I need all set up and running smoothly.

I set up a new PIN to lock my screen for security. Now I can't unlock it. Any ideas how to undo this and get my phone open?

Someone else had replied with that same remedy and if that's all it takes, no worries. However, it is tellig me that after 10 unsuccessful tries it will reset my phone back to zero and I lose everything...pictures, emails, texts,etc. Is this true or not...do you know? Thanks.

HT5177 How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hello all:
Guess what? It was a font conflict all along. I removed a folder of free fonts I downloaded days earlier. Problem solved. No need to wipe out the system and reinstall!

Best way to set up two new iTouches for kids

I have a two new iTouches for my daughter (8) and son (5). My iPhone is set up with iTunes on my iMac computer. Both kids have an a user account on the iMac. What is the best way to set up the iTouch's for my kids?
Do I use my Apple ID for their iTouch and sync it to iTunes on my iMac user account (same as my iPhone)?
Do I use my Apple ID for their iTouch and set up iTunes on their user accounts on my iMac?
Do I get my kids their own Apple ID and sync it to iTunes on my iMac user account?
Do I get my kids their own Apple ID and sync it to iTunes on their user accounts on my iMac?
Do I set up one Apple ID for both kids and sync to iTunes so they can have the same games and only pay once?
I also have an iPad that I sync to iTunes on my usser account.
Thanks

I have the same dliemma. Daughter 8, son 6 - 2 new itouches for xmas - one library , my iPad, wife's iPhone ??
I was intending on just keeping one library (this does contain music with explicit lyric content etc) and manage their music via separate playlists.
As far as accounts and restrictions go, I was going to set them up with their own itunes account (using mail addresses only I can use). Load the account up with a voucher each.
The restrictions I was going to apply at the iPod (rather than the account) using a PIN I know - this way you can limit Safarii browsing (i.e. turn it off), youtube, and the age limit to the apps they can install and run - and the movie ratings allowed etc.
Happy to hear other ideas though - I'm intending on setting this up BEFORE they get them.

TS3682 I'm trying to set up my new iPhone 5s with my iCloud account. I backed up my iPhone 4s before I started. I got an error message about backing up from my mac and my mac had installed an update. However my new iPhone 5s looks frozen??

I'm trying to set up my new iphone 5s. I've backed up my icloud for my 4s to my mac. When I've tried to download from my icloud to my 5S i got an error message and my mac has updated itunes (I think). My new 5s is just sitting with the apple logo and a bar underneath which has moved about 10% but nothing for about 20 mins. I can't turn the 5s off? What do I do?

Problem resoled - it sorted itself out!! Thought I'd broken it before I'd even used it.

I downloaded and installed TB and it pre-configured my wife's mailbox instead of setting up a new one for me. Whats up with that?

I downloaded and installed TB and it pre-configured my wife's mailbox instead of setting up a new one for me.
The first time I ran it, there was her mailbox and all the msg's. I didn't input anything for a server, login or password. IOt just came up configured for her mailbox! Did it do that from the IP address or what?

I would guess that Thunderbird has been installed previously and it has simply rediscovered an old profile folder.
