Need to use my FCP 5 fast. Will it likely not work on the new Intel iMac?

Hi,
I purchased a standalone version of FCP 5 about 6 months ago. I am thinking about getting a new Intel-based iMac, and I need to use the program fast (so I can't wait for Apple to send me that 5.1 upgrade). How likely is it that FCP 5 will still run on the new iMac?
Thanks!

It does work, although "not supported" i.e. if you have problems with it it's not Apple's problem.
As stated in numerous threads posted in this forum, hit the Escape key when you get the error message upon opening the App.
Not believeing everything you read on the Apple site but believing what's written here is kind of a hypocritical statement isn't it? Believe me = Bwa Ha Ha Ha! (pun intended, Studio x)
And FWIW I think you'll go far in life! And that means a lot coming from me.
Welcome to the discussions!

  • Why will Macfee Virus not work with the new version? How do I swich back to the previous version that did not have this issue?

    I selected to let Firefox install the update. After the update was done. A message came up and stated the new version of Firefox does not support the add-ons for Macfee virus software. How do I switch back to the previous version, that does support Macfee virus software add-ons? In the mean time I will have to switch back to IE until this is resolved.

    Your Anti-virus application is not disabled, just one silly little McAfee extension for Firefox.
    See McAfee for an updated version of their Firefox extension.

  • Will Final Cut Studio 2 work on the new 24" iMac?

    I'd like to buy the iMac, but not if I can't run FCS2. Will it run it and how do I need to upgrade/configure it?

    Hi there,
    I run FCP2 on a new 24" iMac (I max'ed out the RAM, which I would recommend if you do go that way). Everything is fully operational, but there might be some downsides depending upon what you are doing.
    - the iMac will take longer on rendering tasks, and will not have as much available for real-time viewing in your timeline with effects applied as a beefier Mac Pro will. To elaborate, when you add effects (or if you want to live preview certain effects) you will have to render before viewing your video.
    - the iMac is no where near as expandable as a Mac Pro, for storage, memory, CPU, and video cards. Even the lowest config of a Mac Pro is likely to wipe the floor with a loaded iMac on many intensive tasks. Imagine what a loaded Mac Pro can do! Of course, it will cost you...
    That said, the 24" iMac makes a decent "budget" editing box. I added Lacie Quadra d2 external hard drives on the Firewire800 interface which are ALMOST as fast as internal. I don't add much in the way of 3D or particle effects to the majority of work I do on the iMac, so the performance is quite nice. I work primarily in SD still and the standard editing performance is very snappy (not too bad for rendering either; 2 hours of SD output takes like 15 minutes, I've heard this can take as little as 5 minutes on a Mac Pro)...I think I would abandon the iMac for a Mac Pro in a second if I was working a lot in HD, or if I did a lot of compositing and so on.
    One thing to keep in minding if you are purchasing as you grow in editing knowledge...If you purchased an iMac today as used it for 2 years before you decided you had outgrown it's capabilities and need a Mac Pro, it wouldn't be a waste of money. The Xsan cluster rendering that FCP2 can do is really neat in that you can distribute some of your rendering tasks to other Macs on your network, allowing you to keep the iMac doing something useful while the Mac Pro remains your main editing station.
    There was a post about not using an iMac for "professional" editing, and I would tend to agree. If you make your living by editing, do yourself a favor and buy the "right tool for the job", namely a Mac Pro. My iMac does a nice job for what I paid for it, but if it was paying my bills, I'd upgrade without hesitation.
    However you end up deciding to go, enjoy your new Mac!

  • Will my printer and scanner work with the new intel mac?

    My first post.. so I hope i am in the right place! (was in wrong place last attempt!)
    I want to buy the new intel...but I would like to know for sure if it will work with my scanner and printer.
    Printer is Epson Stylus Photo 2100 and the scanner is Microtek ScanMaker 4900.
    I have emailed both Epson and Microtek... phoned Epson.. and I still do not know the answer.
    The responses were
    "At this point in time with have been given no information on whether our printer drivers will work or not....".
    "Yes it will work with OSX 10.4"
    "As you know this new intel chip has just hit the market. This particular configuration is in the alpha stage of testing. As of now there has not been any reports or customer correspondence of any concerns."
    I have been scanning these posts and it seems that only the operating system is relevant? If anyone could help I would appreciate it. I am finally able to replace my old, old, well loved G4 but am worried I will make the wrong decision.

    Thanks all for the helpful comments. I am getting closer to going out and buying the intel. As for the Canon printer... its not really an option for me, since the Epson cost me more than the computer will! But I will keep it in mind for the future. And do you think this applies to digital cameras as well Tomzo? I have been considering buying my first digital.. and thought the pentax might be best, since it apparently can use the lenses from my film camera.
    Thanks again all..I will keep checking the apple site list and the web sites as suggested by you.

  • I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer, when I try to use from Word or Excel, it does not work.  The Adobe print queue says "error" in the status screen.  I have uninstalled and re-installed.  Any ideas of what to do next?

    I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer on a Windows 7 home PC.  When I try to use from Word or EWxcel, it does not print.  The Adobe print device queue reports an "error" in the status column.

    Adobe retired this Feb 17, 2014.
    This app sent content to and got content from the web based services of "CreatPDF" and "PDF Pack".
    These are subscription services out in "the cloud". When the app was live you had to be online and signed into your account.  The user forum for CreatePDF has a DOC that speaks to the app removal.
    Be well...

  • I am planning on getting a new IMAC will my old software work on the new mac

    I am planning on buying a IMAC so will I have to replace all my software that is on my G4 running 10.5.8 ?

    Not ALL of your software, but likely some of it. Right click on an application and click "Get Info." Next to "Kind:" if it says Power PC, it will not work on a new iMac.

  • Will my Apple VESA mount work with the new 27" iMac?

    Hi
    I have an alu iMac 24", model: iMac7,1
    I have the Apple VESA mount kit for it.
    I have just ordered the new 27" iMac and I'm wondering if I can use the same VESA mount for the 27" when it arrives?
    Thanks
    /Martin

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm not sure.
    Is that the VESA mount that they have always had on the Apple Store for the 24" and now they have just added the 27" in the text, or is it a whole new VESA mount (which then is backwards compatible with the 24")?
    I tried looking for an Apple support email address to ask this, but that seems hard to find.

  • I have a 486 PC and an old imac -.will my dos  programs work in the new mac

    I mac Other OS

    The new apple machines are built round and Intel processor, therfore there machines can run Windows, either boot into it, or in parallel with Mac OSX. In each case, you have to supply the Windows OS. To boot into Windows you'll need Bootcamp from Apple: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/, to run it paralleel you'll need Parallels http://www.parallels.com/
    So the question is: Will Windows run your DOS programs?

  • How about telling us in advance what programs or plug ins will NOT work with the new Firefox. I just lost my "safe search" feature with AVG, and I think that's sort of important!

    Just upgraded to Firefox 6 (which I like, by the way), but when I upgraded to 5, I lost the gaming feature when I installed AVG, and now I've lost the AVG safe search feature, which I think is very important considering that I have grandkids that use my computer,
    How about telling us in advance (and I'm running Firefox, so a link would be easy) whether or not we're going to lose an important feature like the one I lost?
    So, how do I get back to Firefox 5 without uninstalling and reinstalling so I can have that safe search feature back?

    Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
    Contact information Dennis [email protected]
    Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
    Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
    created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion 
    DURIM - Okay.  I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
    If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]?  We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
    Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro?  If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
    I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

  • I have upgraded to the new Firefox but removed it because my DAP premium will not work with the new version. Am I doing something wrong?

    DAP Premium seems not to be compatible with the new version

    Dear Old Bob..I enjoyed that! I and thanks so much ...I would have done it if I could have done it but I was blocked by Photoshop at every stage! Thankfully my own IT Guru and friend came to the rescue remotely last night and has down-loaded it. But it took him quite a bit of time.
    As XP is  faded out, there will be an awful lot of people like me complaining.
    But truth is my problems are only at a start! About 30 prints (some not yet on my 'blog' (juliamatcham.wordpress.com) all have varying settings which I have noted. Everything depends on these settings.
    All are Apple RGB (although my computer is a PC) and they were all set for my printer Epson Photo 1800. Also they were set at varying settings...Standard or Vivid 1.5, 2.5 whatever suited the design.
    These settings appear not to exist on CS2 which is a nightmare for me as each print was carefully proofed with a great deal patience and at some expense as in the end one has to use expensive paper even for proofing.
    If you have any hints for how to translate these old settings...I would kiss your feet!
    Just looking through how things work, I can't understand why I can't change my first printing option to landscape ...everything esle so far seems comprehensible.
    I do hate change!
    Meanwhile, thanks so much to Curt, Noel, Nahraka and Old Bob for cheering me on. I am obviously going to be back asking more questions about CS2!

  • The css transform property is not working in the new firefox. I have used -moz-transfrom and it was working just before the last update.

    Here's the code that no longer works. The buttons scale down in all other browsers but stopped working after the latest firefox update.
    .bigButton:hover{
    -moz-transform: scale(.95) rotate(0deg) translate(0px, 0px) skew(0deg, 0deg);
    -webkit-transform: scale(.95) rotate(0deg) translate(0px, 0px) skew(0deg, 0deg);
    -o-transform: scale(.95) rotate(0deg) translate(0px, 0px) skew(0deg, 0deg);
    -ms-transform: scale(.95) rotate(0deg) translate(0px, 0px) skew(0deg, 0deg);
    transform: scale(.95) rotate(0deg) translate(0px, 0px) skew(0deg, 0deg);
    }

    For some reason, skew() was removed in Firefox 14. You need to replace it with skewX() and skewY(). See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/CSS/transform for the syntax.
    Edit: I wrote "for some reason" but what I should have said was "skew() is not in the standard, so it was removed, but I don't know why it was removed ''right now''."

  • Before I downloaded the latest version of Firefox I could us the Norton Idnetity Safe. It will not work with the new version. What do I have to do to make it work?

    I am not sure if this is a plugin or extension. All I know is that it worked with the old version of Firefox. It is very important to me to be able to use this feature. Any help would be appreciated.

    THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED FOR ME.
    When I opened this pop-up to view the settings (File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale ), the Scale value was 40%. Changing it to 100% corrected the issue I observed.
    To my knowledge, I have not been inside this pop-up window before to set the Scale option. Could this value be affected by other actions within Firefox? I noticed this while using v12 which was installed 24Apr2012.I know it worked correctly since that installation, so why did the Scale value change?
    UPDATE: I just realized that the Scale option in print preview sets the Scale value in the settings. NOTE TO ALL: This is a sticky setting, not just a setting for a specific output request.
