Installation of Older FCP on New Mac - Need Help

Hi. Help.
I just got a new Mac. I have an older version of FCP - it is 4.5 aka HD.
My problem is that my 4.5 is an upgrade. I first got FCP when it was 1.2.5. Then I upgraded to 3, then 4.5.
To install 4.5 on my new Mac (with Leopard 10.5), I have to install the previous versions first, then the upgrades.
Guess what? I can't install the original 1.2.5, since there is no trace of Classic.
I am not going to go out and buy a full brand new version of FCP, when I am eligible for upgrades.
Is there a way that I can get Classic on my new Mac, even though I have 10.5?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
By new Mac do you mean an new Intel machine or a used PowerPC machine?
If you really mean a new Mac then you need to upgrade your version of FCP. FCP 4.5 is PowerPC based and is not supported on Intel machines. You need a Universal Binary version. The first UB version was 5.1 and it was available during the Intel switch as a Crossgrade, it is no longer available. You can purchase an upgrade for FCP though as long as you have the original serial numbers you do not need to install the old version first.

Mac Air Crashed New Mac Need help syncing

My Mac Book Air Crashed. My back up to my music was my IPad. I was able to get my purchased music from to sync with the new Ipad, or rather authorized. I want to get my pics and music from my IPad to the new computer. This is music from old CDs I had uploaded to my Mac Air and then to my IPad and Nano. I want the music that was not purchased from Itunes on my computer.
Can I do that? There has to be a way to do this. I know you can only sync to one computer, but what happens when you have a crash or your computer is lost or destroyed?

check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there is PhoneView.

New iPad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help on that

my new ipad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help why if any one knows? thk

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store. Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays. You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor. If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected. I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

New Mac - Need to Clean older 1022 Printer

I have an old HP 1022 Printer and a new Mac 10.9.3.
My printing is functional but I am getting a lot of spotting and shadowing
I would like to clean the printer per page 52 of the manual (only references a PC command to do it)
Does anyone know how to send the clean printer command from a MAC?

Welcome to the HP Forums Aloha1,
I see by your post that you would need to run a cleaning since the printer is printing shadows and spotting on the paper.
I can help you with this issue.
The driver for this printer for Maverick is the Apple Update drivers. Basic print drivers.
Most likely you won't have the option to run a cleaning through the Apple drivers installed.
You can check though, by going to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, click on the printer to open the printer's window. Click on Utility if you have the option and see if it provides the cleaning function.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, black toner, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
If you have another computer to setup the printer on, you could run the cleaning on it.
Hope this helps resolve your issue.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Getting a new Mac: need to transfer files/applications, have external hard drive, and wipe clean old Mac to give to family member

Getting a new Mac this Christmas. I have several questions:
1. How do I transfer files/applications from old to new?
2. I have an external hard drive, do I need to save iTunes account to it?
3. How do I wipe the old Mac clean to give to family member?

1. Use the Migration Assistant the first time you turn on the new computer.
2. No, but you should do so as a backup.
3. Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

FCP to new mac

I am purchasing a new Mac Pro. Currently I have Final Cut Studio 5.1 (universal) which was offered as an upgrade about a year ago at a low price for those with FCP 4 (for PPC). When I install my 5.1 version on my new Mac Pro, will I first have to install the old original FCP to be successful in installing 5.1?
Thanks

Search or post to the FCP forum.

New Mac, need to link to my itunes folder

So before I sold my other mac, I copied off my iTunes folder to an external drive. Now I have my new mac, and I have this external drive with my tunes on it, and I want to keep them there and point to it.
I have searched all around and keep doing it wrong, apparently, so I could use some pointers as to how I can easily link to the iTunes folder that is currently sitting on my drive.

Hold the Option key when starting iTunes.
Select the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder on the external.

New user needs help with time machine and mac server.

I am a new mac user and got a new mac mini running server. I have time machine enabled on the server and a back up folder created. My macbook will not see the server when trying to set up time machine from the macbook. What am I missing? Thanks.

Unfortunately even though Apple had touted the AEBS USB2 HD use with TimeMachine (TM) they pulled it from the Leopard TM feature list about 1 week before releasing Leopard GNBuild 9A581.
At this time Apple does not support use of the AEBS USB HD for use TM.
I strongly suspect we will see this feature return in one of the next two updates Apple releases for Leopard.
In the meantime be patient and I don't recommend you use a hack to circumvent the current TM limitation.

Getting a new Mac! (help!)

I have a nice, beefy Dual 1.25 G4 and I plan on buying (not one, but) TWO new Macs sometime in the near future. A new tower, and a laptop.
A general question: what am I going to need to make the swap? ...I have most of my programs and installation disks / serial #s, but there are bound to be a few that I don't have. What can I do there? I'm obviously going from a PowerPC to an Intel mac, and can't just "carbon copy" my system over... what's the closest thing? Everything works just dandy now, and I pretty much just want everything as it is.
Thanks in advance, and apologies for the vagueness of the question!

Hi-
You will probably find the article PowerPC vs. Intel interesting, and help you formulate future questions.
As far as moving your "stuff" over, Migration Assistant will do the trick, but there are some things that you need to be careful of. This discussion may help.

PSE 12: Mac need help opening RAW files

I downloaded the trial version of PSE 12 on a Mac OS X v 10.8.5 and I am unable to open the CR2 RAW files taken by a Canon EOS Rebel XS and loaded directly to the Mac.
The exact error message is, "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
The Camera Raw plug in version on this PSE 12 is 8.2.0.94
In an effort to open these CR2 files, I downloaded the DNG Converter 8_2. This provided a similar error, "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files."
I believe that my camera is supported by PSE12 :
I plugged an external hard drive into the Mac which contains CR2 files from the exact same camera. The files were unloaded using a Windows PC and then saved on the hard drive. They open on the Mac using PSE12. No problem.
So, I am guessing that the problem is that I am a new Mac user. I have no idea where I should look on the Mac to figure out why the CR2 files directly loaded to the Mac won't open in PSE12 but files loaded to a WIndows computer and then opened on the Mac will open in PSE12.
Any suggestions?

Barbara B--thank you so much for trying to help me.
I finally have success! I discovered that I must use the Canon EOS Utility to download the files to the Mac. Not iphoto and not the Image Capture.
For anyone else who might need a link to the Canon Rebel XS EOS Utility, I found it here:

Getting new iMac, need help transferring iPhone,

Okay, I've been using my iPhone with my main PC since I've had it. A few months ago, I started having problems with it (my PC), and it became very unstable. I haven't synced my iPhone in 3-4 months. Mainly because it was so unstable...most of the time, it wouldn't even boot into Windows. In the meantime, I've just been using my PowerBook, and Aspire One for all my computer needs.
So I ordered one of the new iMac 24's last week to replace my PC, and it will be here tomorrow. Today, I've been backing up my PC, with an external HDD, in Safe Mode. Since that's the only way I can get into Windows now. I've copied over all the folders I used for my iPhone...like for photos, custom ringtones, etc. And copied over the iTunes folder. But unfortunately, I cannot sync the iPhone in Safe Mode. So all the stuff in the iTunes folder is at least 3-4 months old. And I've bought music and apps from iTunes on the phone since then, as well as added contacts, taken pics, etc.
My question is, when I sync up the iPhone on my new iMac...will I lose everything that's been added to the iPhone since the last time I did a sync? Is there anyway to get it transferred? Or at least get my purchased music/apps from the iPhone to iTunes on the new machine? I can email the pics I've taken, and copy down the added contacts if need be...my main concern is the music/apps I've purchased on the iPhone.
Thanks for any help you can provide...and hopefully I didn't make that too confusing.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes.
After doing so, with your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Before syncing contact info with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your new Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your new Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on your new Mac, which you want to select.
Photos captured by your iPhone are not included with the iTunes sync process, except for being included with your iPhone's backup, which is the first step during the sync process. If you will be using iPhoto for storing photos on your new Mac, you can use iPhoto for importing these photos from your iPhone. Any photos transferred to your iPhone from your PC via the iTunes sync process must be transferred from your PC to your new Mac into iPhoto.
If all 3rd party apps available on your iPhone are not transferred to your iTunes library on your new Mac, you can re-download the apps with iTunes on your new Mac. You will not be charged again for any purchased apps as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the apps that was used to purchase the apps originally.

I am really new and need help with internet

Hi. I am really excited about the new MACS and want one really bad. First, I need to know what I would need to get for wireless internet. Next, are Macs compatible for Internet like MSN?
iBookG4 Windows XP I want to get an iBookG4

I have a PowerBook G4 17 with a gig of ram that I absolutely couldn't live without. I use a Verizon aircard for internet access, and it's proven to be about 90% as fast as a high speed cable connection. I routinely send pics up to 3M in size with no problem. The only thing I have found that it really doesn't do very well is downloading software. And the Verizon card is really affordable--I have an unlimited plan that doesn't hurt each month at all. Hope this helps.
