Installing Panther 10.5 from a dual quad 3.2 tower on Macbook Pro 2.16

Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't want to take a chance of creating issues with my laptop.
I have been doing on location editing with my Macbook Pro 2.16 (with the Intel Chip), that is running on Tiger 10.4, Final Cut Studio 1.
I recently purchased a 3.2 dual Quad tower which shipped with Leopard 10.5, and have upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2.
I want to get the laptop on the same OS and FC Studio version so I can move projects between computers on external hard drives. The tower and laptop are not linked via a network and never will be.
Can I just install the Leopard 10.5 Disk that shipped with the new tower on the Macbook Pro 2.16?
I have heard that the install disk's that come with the computers are specific to that computer.
Can I then install the new upgrade of FC Studio 2 on the MacBook Pro 2.16?
Or will I experience complications that would have been avoided if I had just purchased another copy of the Panther 10.5 OS?
Thanks for any help in trying to avoid issues in the future...
Bob

To (slightly) expand on what David told you in the other thread ...
1. The OSX install disks shipped as OEM with computers are not compatible with another model.
2. One OSX license, one computer.
3. As David already noted, a laptop and a desktop can share a FCP license as long as you do not use them simultaneously.
Cheers,

  • 13' MacBook Pro i5 dual core(non retina) vs 15' MacBook Pro i7 quad core(non retina)

    I'm looking to buy a laptop, I'm going to use it for some photoshop, and daily use of excel,iTunes,web browsing, watch videos. The following laptops are which I'm looking at: 13' MacBook Pro i5 dual core(non retina) and 15' MacBook Pro i7 quad core(non retina). Please let me know what you suggest. I'm looking for a laptop to last me at least 5 years.

    I'm trying to stick w/o having to buy the super drive and need a lot of memory to store so that's why the retina laptops didn't come to mind. I was looking at the refurbished section and apple is selling a (non retina) 15' MacBook Pro 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, i7 quad core processor.

    Hi Auracles1,
    Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.

    I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

  • I really need help dual-booting Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro

    Hi.  I am totally lost in dual-booting Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro.  I got rEFIt, but I don't know what I need for the Windows 7 part.  Do I put an .iso file on a flashdrive?  Or can I just do it easier with a physical disc of Windows 7?  If you could, please have somewhat indepth steps, as I have no knowledge in this field.

    You don't need rEFIt. But you do have to start with an unpartitioned startup drive. You create the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder. Open BCA and click on the large button to print out the documentation. Then read it carefully before proceeding. You will need a bootable Windows DVD, not an ISO file. You need to use the computer's optical drive because Windows will neither install nor boot from an external optical drive.

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?

    Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?  Regardless of whether I am using iMessage from  my iPhone or iPad, when I open my MBP, I get attacked by Messages notifications for iMessages I've obviously already seen or responded to.  Is there a way to change this?  Are others having this issue?
    Additionally,  previous iMessages sent or received from those  devices sometimes don't populate into the Messages window on the MBP.  I haven't been able to identify when or what causes this; sometimes it just doesn't seem to work (and I verified that the messages sent/received were, in fact, iMessages and not SMS).
    Thanks - any help or insight would be appreciated!

    First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
    With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS  you are running. What is the version?
    A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
    If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.

  • I am traveling from the US to France and have a Macbook Pro. Can I just use a plug adaptor or do I need a power converter to plug in?

    I am traveling from the US to France and have a Macbook Pro. Can I just use a plug adaptor or do I need a power converter to plug in?

    Just an adapter to change the US plug style to the one in the country you are going to. The AC charger will do the rest. It is rated for 120-240 volts and will adjust on  its own.

  • Can anyone enlighten me as to how I can transfer data from an extracted hard drive off of a Macbook Pro onto a new Retina model? No SATA port!!!

    Hello,
    I'm trying to transfer data from my old hard drive (taken out of Macbook Pro 2009) onto a new Macbook Pro Retina.  My ignorance is vast and I purchased an eSATA device to do so, not thinking that there is no SATA port on this new computer.  Is there a special cable or anything anyone can recommend?  I'd be very grateful for some help here.     

    I would just get a cheap USB enclosure from OWC, put your old drive in it, and use it it transfer the data to your new rMBP. Cheap and simple. The one I spec'ed is for a USB 3.0 enclosure as you have USB 3.0 ports on your computer - much faster than USB 2.0.

    Good luck and you are welcome.
    Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.
