Need to install FCS3 in Maverick and using USB 3.0

I will be getting two machines - a new MBP with Retina and an iMac. Both are coming in any day, July 2014. This means OS Maverick OS. I opted to have FCX pre-installed (momentary lapse of judgement) on both, but I also hold licenses for FCStudio3. Can FCS3 be installed on both new machines with out much hassle? I'll adapt, but I need my back up editing platform as I am a non-stop editor. Or, do I suffer my fate, leave the old software on my old machines, which I get to keep, and press on.
My only downside is the re-purchase of some peripheral software and plugins, but i'll suck that up, (its not my money, ha).
ALSO, is USB 3.0 a good pipeline for editing? I've got to have new drives for these machines, and I really need to have a small daisy chain if possible. I need a good pipeline for full HD and my machines have Tbolt and USB 3 ports.
Your suggestions will help, tremendously.

As FCP X and FCP 7 both have the same name (Final Cut Pro) they cannot exist simultaneously in the Applications Folder but fear not, the cure is simple.
Change the FCP X name to something like FCP X or whatever you fancy and then you should have no problem installing FCS3.
Dyed-in-the-wool pros would probably never touch USB 3.0 but for normal mortals they are perfectly fine  .  .  .  as indeed are USB 2.0
Addendum: I can't remember for sure, but if you try to instal FCS3 without changing the name of FCP X,  I have the feeling that it will go ahead and install FCS3 in a folder called Final Cut Studio  inside the Applications folder.
Also, if FCP X does not have the name Final Cut Pro  Software Update will not recognise it.

    Firstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
    It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
    Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
    OK the language page.
    From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
    Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
    Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
    When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
    If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult.

  • I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

    I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

    Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
    After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
    Hope this helps.

  • For the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    for the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    Then you might check at any of the other university book stores or software stores or any computer store in town for the 64-bit version.
    If you want to use the 32-bit version from the school (you probably get it for free or very cheap) then you could purchase Parallels and run it as a virtual machine concurrently with OS X. There are some caveats:
    1. You have to purchase Parallels (there may be an academic discount.) List is $79.95.
    2. Your computer needs minimally 4 GBs of RAM, but realistically 8 GBs would be better.
    3. Parallels creates a pseudo-drive on your hard drive. It could easily require 50 GBs of disk space.
    Accommodating these might be more costly than buying 64-bit Windows 7. And, if you look online you may find them with an academic discount (or may be able to order it through the school.)

    I have the 64bit version of itunes on windows 7. When I connect my iphone5 it says that I don't have the correct software and that I need to install itunes 64bit! And I can go no further! I've uninstalled and reinstalled but it makes no difference. I have no access to other computers so at the moment I don't have a backup for my iphone should anything go wrong.
    Please Help!

    Hello ekbowers,
    It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPhone 5.  I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system. 
    I recommend following the steps in this article to completely uninstall iTunes:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 65 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

  • I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.

    I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.
    Also the track pad seems to be slower/ not picking up all my finger movements.

    You might want to take the computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them give you an estimate, at least, on how much it would cost to 'fix' the trackpad - I've no idea what the cost would be. The trackpad on MBPs is one of the most sensitive elements in the computer's design. They usually don't go bad, but yours seems to be giving you some trouble: so just make a Genius Bar appointment and just get an estimate - might be something simple.

  • Installing Log4J in Tomcat and using JDBC to log errors

    Has anyone figured out how to install Log4J in Tomcat and use the Log4J JDBC functionality?
    I have log4j.jar in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.
    I also have log4j.properties is in CATALINA_HOME/common/classes
    Then when I start Tomcat I get the following error:
    [main] DEBUG org.apache.commons.digester.Digester - addRuleSet() with no namespace URI
    is it something to do w/ the log4j.properties file? do i have to use a xml format or is it ok to use .properties format?
    -Karthik

    I would say you have something wrong in your log4j properties file.
    properties format is fine, but I suspect something in there is not quite right.
    Try starting with a simple example one, see if it works, and then try adding your own config based on that one.
    Good luck,

  • I just installed OS X Mavericks and now I can't get iMovie or iPhoto to accept and install on my 2014 Macbook Air.

    I recently installed OS X Mavericks and when I tried to update iMovie and iPhoto, it wouldn't let me becaus it said they were downloaded under a different Apple ID, so I tried to uninstall and reinstall them from scratch, and now it won't even let me accept them.  I keep punching in my Apple ID to accept them and it doesn't appear to be doing anything.  What do I do?

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Follow the directions in this support article.
    Step 2
    Associate your Apple ID with your user account. Then sign in to the App Store with the same ID.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with a file named "adoption.plist" selected. If it does, move the file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Log out, log back in, and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 4

  • HT4623 Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

    Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

    The good (?) news is many people are have OS 6.0.1 wifi problems.
    I could not connect to my home network.  What eventually worked for me (twice now), though it makes no sense, is to go to the particular connection you want to use, hit the little blue arrow on the right to get the details screen.  Scroll down to the bottom and change "HTTP Proxy" from "None" to "Auto".  Then leave the "URL" field that pops up blank. 
    This should not work.  However, it has for me where many other suggestions have not. 
    *shrug*
    Best of luck.

  • Why wont itunes download onto my computer? I need it to update my ipad and use cloud etc

    I keep trying to download itunes onto my computer as I need it to update my ipad and use cloud etc. I phoned apple support and they could not work out why it will not download on my computer. I am going into the apple shop to get help but just wondered if anyone else has this problem, the only thing I can think of is that my internet connection/broadband is very slow. Anybody any ideas?

    What web browser are you using? Maybe the browser stopped the  download of iTunes.
    Try downloading iTunes again with another browser -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
