Mac OSX Extended vs. Journaled for FCP

Hello I have a quick question about a external drive I want to reformat for Final Cut Pro. What is the best way to go extended vs. journaled? I would like some feedback about the pros or cons or what's the best way to go. Thanks.

What is the best way to go extended vs. journaled?
It isn't a choice of extended vs journaled. Its a choice of having journaling ON or OFF. For a boot drive, you want it on. For a drive storing media files for editing, it isn't needed - leave it turned OFF.
FWIW, ALL Mac hard drives should be formatted as Mac OS Extended (aka HFS+).

  • Why can I just Install my system as Mac OSX Extended

    Hi,
    yes like my thread says, why can I just choose the option Mac OSX Extended (case-sensitive) when I want to reinstall Leopard? Or is the Option somewhere esle and I can't find it? Because when I want to choose, they are two options, both options are Mac Osx Extended, the other is with an extra option, but I forgot what it was.
    I don't want Mac OSX Extended because some games or Apps won't work with it like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare or Age of Empires 2.
    Thank you.

    If you mean "why can't I" ... it depends how you're trying to reinstall Leopard. You can only choose the format of the drive when you're doing a clean install (erase and install) which wipes your drive. If you're choosing Install (upgrade from an earlier version) or Archive and Install, you won't get the option to reformat the drive.
    If you are indeed trying to clean install, try running Disk Utility from the installation disk first (before you go through the install screens, go to the Utilities menu and run Disk Utility). From there, you can erase and reformat your drive to the format you need ... the options you will have are Mac OS Extended, with or without case-sensitivity and journalling. Hope one of those is the one you want - you didn't mention which you'd prefer.

  • Error Code: 34 Mac OSX 10.8.4 for Photoshop CC, Bridge CC, After Effects CC, and Flash CC

    Hello,
    So I am installing all the CC versions of the software and all but Photoshop, Bridge, After Effects, and Flash installed without a hitch. On those 4 programs I get the same error code: 34. I am able to install the CS6 variants of them without any problem and run it. Here is the error code:
    Exit Code: 34
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 1 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)
    FATAL: Payload 'Camera Profiles Installer_8.1_AdobeCameraRawProfile8.0All 7.0.0.108 {D5BBDFC0-C716-46B1-8908-85B0EA49FFA1}' information not found in Media_db.
    I have been unable to fix this on my own and with what I've found online. I'll list what I have done so far to try to fix this issue. I have tried to use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool but the issue is since PS, BR, AE, and FL won't install I can't clean them to try a fresh install. I tried installing the CS6 versions to see if it would dowload the 'Camera Profiles Installer_8.1".
    Any help on fixing this ASAP would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    NB

  • Mac Pro 4870, 8800, 3870 for FCP?

    Hi,
    I was looking at getting a 4870 for my Mac Pro.
    I want the best performance for FCP - rendering, Color, exporting with compressor etc...
    It seems the 4870 is the fastest but then I was wondering if the 8800 under the upcoming new os release would be better?
    Can I use 2x 8800 in my machine and would this be faster?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply about 2 cards - I will rule that out.
    According to this:
    http://www.barefeats.com/nehal06.html
    the 8800 is fastest but I am not so interested in Motion im more interesting in rendering speeds in FCP and Compressor work.
    http://www.barefeats.com/nehal05.html
    this shows that the 4870 is clearly faster but i don't play games...
    Any help would be welcome. Just want the fastest card for the job!

  • Is mac osx 10.1 just for one computer?

    I purchased mac osx 10.1 in a garage sale...there is no more new...but can i use it only in one computer or can i use it in many computers as i want???

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    There should be a license agreement you need to agree to when you install it. It will allow installation in one Mac.
    If you have one of the colored ("clamshell") iBooks, you will need to upgrade the firmware before installing Mac OS X.

  • I recently updated to Mountain lion 10.8 . I backuped using external hard drive using time machine . I used Lacie drive. I had to format it MAC OSX " extended journaled" before I could back up my dat and after that I backed it up.

    1) I cant seem to restore my data back from Time machine as many files seem Locked. I cant use the Migration app since it doesnt show me my external hard drive when I try to use it. Plus Ive heard that Migration app copies whole drives rather than selecting and copying some folders/data.
    2) Even if i use the time machine to restore the data , It does copy on to my mac but that locked symbol is still there .
    3) I have read that my drive wont show on migration application cuz the OS should be same before and after the backup and there shouldnt be any difference , otherwise the migration app wont show the drive. This is absurd cuz mostly ppl back up because they want to upgrade their computers . It will never be the same , I mean the OSX , cuz after i have done the back there would have been an upgrade .
    Can anyone help Linc Davis .

    If you mean you're getting the same message:
    see #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.   It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.    If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, your setup (especially the destination for the backups), what you've done, and the results.

  • Have lost use of Mackie Control Universal Pro with Mac OSX 10.5.5 and FCP 6

    Hi there:
    I seem to have lost the ability to use my MCU Pro in both FCP and STP. The device works perfectly in Logic 8. Is there a known issue with the updated operating system of updated FCP? Can anyone help.
    Thanks

    Call Apple Care. They will either help you over the phone, or they will help you send it in for repair (it takes only a few days to do that - you usually have it back literally two or three days after you send it in)...What you are describing is something malfunctioning and that is NOT usual for a mac.

  • Mac OSX: Shortcuts with Alt for menu activation conflicts with spec. chars

    Hi!
    How can I use the Alt+N for writing "}" in my Hungarian keyboard instead of activating the Menu?
    This is very annoying since I have searched in the Accelerators, and there are no entry like "AltN".
    It is in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.
    In OSX it is not usual that Alt activates the menu. Can I switch this function off completely somehow?

    Sorry, I'm a Mac gome, and didn't know they had function keys. Seems like it doesn't work for you however.
    Best, David.

  • Mac OSX Lion & Autocad 2012 for Mac

    I recently purchase Autocad 2012 for Mac and installed it on a Macbook Pro running OSX Lion.  I have a problem and I'm trying to determine if it is Lion-related or Autocad 2012 for Mac-related.  Within Autocad there is a basic function whereby you can typically use the print functiona and "save as PDF" to save a drawing in a PDF file format.  Once saved in this fashion, the file can then be emailed to a commercial printer (like a Kinko's) that has the correct size printer for printing architectural plans.  Unfortunately, when I try and "save as PDF" the function is not working?  I recognize this is a really specific question that might be as much Autocad related as Mac related, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.  I'm under the gun on timing to get plans completed!  Many thanks!!!

    Make sure your copy of Adobe Acrobat is for Lion if it is installed on your Mac.  It can affect whether or not some PDF functions work.  Your other option, might be to use Save as PDF from the File menu -> Print command.  Though I think the quality of the PDF is not as good that way, at least you can try it and see what comes out.

  • Mountain Lion (Mac OSX v10.8) OK for After Effects

    The Mountain Lion (Mac OS v10.8) upgrade seems to be working fine with After Effects CS6.
    Be sure to check for drivers for third-party I/O hardware and such, since such drivers often lag the OS release.

    Unfortunately that is not the case if your PC's are up to date with the latest hardware. Keep sending those emails to Apple requesting a Mac Pro Refresh. Maybe at some point their focus will change back to Professional clients.

    Oh, there are..... but that doesn't mean 'Windows 7' is an upgrade as such    it has just as many problems as ML, just 'different' ones (not al Adobe related).

  • How to restore and erase a "mac osx extended" with disk utility?

    hello, I exedently sepret my disks the first one name is: Macintosh HD
    and the secound one name is backup (I chose the name).
    I want to merge them together how should I do it?
    (macbook air 11" osx mavericks)
    I teyed first restore the scound one and it didn't worked here is a screen shut of it:

    Let me make sure i undestand:
    1. you partitioned your internal hard drive into two partitions
    2. you now want to combine them together
    Correct?
    If so, i believe you need to get an external hard drivea dn copy everythiong there - including a COOTABLE clone of your startup drive.
    Then boot from external, and use disk utility to partiton your drive as (1) partition, and format it (HFS+ Journaled).  Then clone back your main info and anything that was on "backup".

    Everything that was saved on my Firefox including bookmarks for work, important add on with things saved on them, and all of my previous downloads. One minute it was working i quit Firefox then opened it up again and all of my items had been deleted. Please help!

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    I installed a new Mac yesterday running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4
    subsequently upgraded to 10.9.5) which grabbed Java 1.6.0_65 via Apple
    when required.
    HTH.
