NEW MACBOOK DOES NOT SUPPORT FINAL CUT EXPRESS!!!

I just got my new MacBook 13" and tranferred all my files/applications from my older iMac (purchased 2004). When i try and open Final Cut Express, i receive the messege 'needs AGP graphics card'
I dont have access to the internet and so cannot receive an upgrade on my F.C.E.... and i bought the laptop specifically to do my editing on the move!!!
Its rediculous, why didnt the guy who i bought it from tell me, even tho he asked what i'd use it for and i told him!
has anyone got any suggestions? anything at all!!
(and ps: can you BUY such a card? if so, how much am i looking at? I seriously cannot afford anything after buying this laptop!)
Im despairing and freaking out!
Help!
Thanks

Lara,
I don't use Final Cut Express, however, based on the information that you've provided, you're attempting to use a Power PC Based version of FCE, not Universal. Your iMac was most likely a G5? Your new MacBook is an Intel. Different processors.
In order to use Final Cut Express on your MacBook, most likely you're going to need to upgrade FCE.
To answer your last question, there's no option for purchasing a graphics card for the MacBook.

Macbook pro does not support Final Cut Pro preview on external monitor?

I have been editing on Final Cut Pro from my imac for approx 1 year with an external monitor attached with no problems. I recently bought a macbook pro, for Final Cut Pro editing, and discovered that the monitor does not work. The Final Cut Pro preview on the external monitor freezes and in the preview pane of FCP it flick between two images.
I have been reading around some forums, and have seen a couple of people with the same problem.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to run the external monitor with FCP?
Thanks!

You have probably already done it but ensure you have updated the OS and Quicktime prior to attempting to instal Final Cut Studio.
I recently had a hard drive crash and after installing the new hard drive it would not read the OS installation disc. I ended up using an external drive case and installed the OS on the drive from a different Mac Book, then reinstalled the hard drive in the other Mac Book. Then it booted right up. I updated all the original software before attempting to install any additional software.
Everyone kept saying it wouldn't install due a possibly defective optical drive and I can't say why but it wasn't the drive. As soon as I had the system up and running again the optical drive functioned flawlessly.
I hope this helps you.

I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

My new Macbook does not have a DVD slot. How do I install my Kodak printer now?

I can't install my Kodak printer because my new Macbook does not have a DVD slot, as my old Macbook had. How do I install the printer without a DVD? My Kodak printer is not listed anywhere.

Kodak printer model number?

This version of airport utility does not support my airport express

I have just bought a new MAc and am trying to add my old airport express base station on to my exisiitng wireless network so that I can use it to stream music. I had set it up ages ago with my PC but didn't really use it.
I can get the aiport utility to see it but it tells me that this version does not support my airport express. Help!

Unfortunately, Apple has dropped support for the older AirPort routers in their newer operating systems.
You can still configure and administer the older AirPort Express, but you will need to have (or borrow) a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC.

Just bought MacBook and found my Final Cut Express HD (ver.3.0) won't work

I have just bought a MacBook (2.16GHz speed, SDRAM of 2GB) and found my Final Cut Express HD (ver.3.0) won't work. I tried running it after transferring it over from my old iMac G5 and keep getting the message "AGP Graphics card missing". I have checked my About this Mac file which tells me I have a GMA950 graphics chipset, that Quartz Extreme is supported but that it has no PCI card installed either. Does this mean I cannot use Final Cut Express on a MacBook?

If pressing "esc" does not work, try this:-
1. Right-click (Ctrl click) the FCE application icon - the one in the Applications folder NOT the alias in the Dock.
2. In the window that opens select Show Package Contents and then open the Contents Folder.
3. Inside you will find an Info.plist which you double-click and it should open in TextEdit etc.
4. About 17 lines down you will see AGP. Simply change it to PCI
5. Click the red window closure button and you will be asked if you want to save the changes. Simply click Save.
The whole process only takes a few seconds and should permanently cure the problem.

Will my ATI Radeon x1600 graphics card support Final Cut Express?

In the fall I plan to attend Cincinnati State, and major in AVP (Audio Video Production), and I wanted to get a head start by purchasing the program Final Cut Express. I checked the system specifications, and apparently I need an AGP graphics card. The problem is I have no idea whether or not my ATI Radeon x1600 card will be able to run the program or not. Thank you for your feedback!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm just not sure what is going on - that error is what Mac Mini's and others with onboard video have when they try to run FCE/FCP, and there is a workaround mentioned here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1609878
Of course, your MBP has the ATI card, not onboard video.
I did a clean install of FCE 3 HD ( PPC ) and then upgraded immediately to FCE 3.5 HD ( Universal ) and have experienced no problems with it.

New macbook does not "see" my network, old macbook pro and iphones do...

Yesterday I installed an upgrade to my airport extreme base station, now my macbook pro and the 2 iphones in the household see the wifi network but the other macbook does not. It does see the neighbors wifi networks and will see it when I connect via a cable to the base station by no wireless connection... help!

I am having a similar problem. I have 19 iBooks in a classroom and, suddenly, none of them can see the AirPort Express network when they log on. Instead, the iBooks try to connect to a Windows-based school network. I have designated the AEBS network as the only preferred network but the iBooks NEVER try to connect to it first. However, if you click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar, the AEBS network is clearly visible and clicking on it immediately connects you to the AEBS network.
When I originally set up the network in January, everything worked just fine. After the upgrade to AE Firmware 5.7 and various OS X 10.4.5 updates, everything has gone downhill. I had the dropped signal problem that so many have reported. I downgraded to AE Firmware 5.5.1 and followed J. Exby's procedure to upgrade the AEBS framework. That solved the dropped signal problem. But now my iBooks cannot find the AEBS network when they log in.
I have set the AirPort Network Preferences to connect Automatically or to Preferred Networks with the same result. I have also set the option to "Keep looking for recent networks" and it never finds our AEBS network. Yet, the network can be accessed manually through the AirPort icon.
BTW, I use one of the iBooks myself and it works perfectly and finds my preferred network in 2 other locations with non-AEBS networks. But it cannot see its own preferred network in school.
This is really bugging my students--and me! Any suggestions? THANKS!

New Macbook does not recognize Time Capsule backup from old macbook

I just purchased a late 2013 13" macbook pro. I have a mid 2009 macbook pro running Mavericks. The new macbook will not recognize the time capsule backup from my old macbook. I am trying to migrate all data over, but the new mac does not ever acknowledge the external drive that contains the backup. I've tried two different external drives with the same result each time. Both computers are running Mavericks.

Do you see the drive in Disk Utility?
If yes, run Repair Permissions then restart the drive.
1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
3. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
4. Click the repair permissions button.
In System Preferences > Time Machine can you select the old Time Machine with Select Disk?

New Macbook does not recognise Airport Express

Hello -
My new Macbook doesn't seem to see my Airport express despite rebooting and resetting the Airport Extreme and Express hardware.
Can anyone advise me what might be going wrong please?
Many thanks..

Thank you. I have finally got Airport Utility to recognise the Airport Express.
In the next step (when i select the Airport Express station) it asks me if i want to switch wireless networks and issues the following warning:
Setting up this Apple wireless device requires switching wireless networks. Switching wireless networks may interrupt your connection to the Internet.
What do I do? I still want Airport Extreme to work. I just want Express to work with it.
I'd be very grateful if you could offer any advice.
Thanks...

My New MacBook does not charge the battery at all

Initially, it stayed at 65% with the exteranl power connected all the time. Then it stayed at 0% after I used it without external power. Now it definitly does not start if no external power attached, and sometimes does not start even with exteranl power attached - I can only get it started by taking out the battery, putting it back and plugging in the exteranl power. And the cutomer service ***** - I am retuning it for sure, wasted too much of my time.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I did want to exchange it initially, but the process of getting Apple to admoit there is something wrong with this BRAND NEW system was too painful for me. I never had a similar experience before. Yesterday, after spending almst half day on the phone, I finally got a technitian to admit that the bettery was bad, but the customer return department already closed. (I called both of them a number of times and experienced serveral transfering back and forth, and cutting off). What really pi**ed me off completely is that this morning when I called the custermer return again, the guy STILL transfered me to the tech support WITHOUT listening to me and WITHOUT my permission. Maybe the Apple product IS really that great and worth being abused and treated badly for, but I have never had such a bad experience in my life before, and I do not want to spend a premium price for a system comes brocken and needs half a month to get it "repaired", not mentioning wasting my warrenty on it. So I am going to stay away from Apple's product till they really know how to treat their customers. Before then, I will just return everything they sent me and let my credit company, American Express, a company really stands behand their customers, to deal with them and get my money back.
Ironically, I am the lead quality and reliability engineer who qulified the Intel GMCH for Apple...

New MacBook does not recognize bluetooth mouse

I just migrated to a new MacBook, running (OS10.6.8) and it will not recognize my Logitech Bluetooth laser mouse. The mouse works just fine with my old MacBook. I downloaded control center, but that also does not recognize the mouse. Any help would be appreciated.

"browse device" showed the mouse, but said it was not connected. I started the setup assistant, but it did not seem to see the mouse. But I noticed a tiny button on the bottom of the mouse labelled "connect" and pushing that while running setup assistant seems to have done the trick. Now I hope it "sticks".
Thanks to IAmMe123 for pointing me down the right path.

My new MacBook does not start

My MacBook will not start, I am getting a gray or light blue screen and nothing happens.
Apparently this has a tendency to happen when the ITunes and Photo Booth are open within one session before I shut down the computer.
So far every time that I start the computer I have to press and hold the (control alt P R) keys, then the laptop starts and I get the apple in the screen and the rotating gear.
Please advice what to do?
I should point out that if I open other programs in a session and then shut down the computer, it does start normally when I restart.

The 4 times chimes is my old habit since os 7.5.3 sorry if that sound amusing to you, on apple sites 2 times is enough.
It will be the last option to do the re-installation.
But it usually help better, and you can narrow down the problem to other factor since the OS X is well installed and fresh.
I prefer install for the first time method, but you can choose archieve and install if you want to save your data there. Any method you choose make sure you back up your data before doing so.
But do you have a good connection in Thai, since I suggest you to update all the updater after you done the installation process.
Good Luck

FCP X does not recognize Final Cut Events folder

FCP X will always recognize both internal drives in my MacPro, named Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD2. About one third of the time it will see that both are present, but for Macintosh HD2 it will say there are no Events or Projects or anything else there for FCP X to read. After rebooting anywhere between 1 and 5 times it will recognize the Final Cut Events folder that is actually there and let me get on with my work. I have never changed anything about the folder manually or outside of FCP X, and it's not like it never recognizes the folder. It is only about a third of the time that it will not recognize it.
So I have a couple questions:
Is there any way to point FCP X to the events folder on a specific drive that it thinks is not there so I don't have to keep quitting FCP X and rebooting?
Is this a bug that others have had and Apple will address or is it something about my hard drive?
It only happens to one drive, the other internal drive is fine, and all external drives and drobos have been perfect. Could it be that the drive in question is only 5400 rpm?

If Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders are on your internal drive, make sure they are in the Movies folder. This is where they are installed by default when on the system drive it seems. If on an external or non-system drive put them at the top level of the drive.
Then (IMPORTANT), if you have them on more than one drives at the same time, Final Cut Pro X can get confused IF you have the same event names and project names in these two folders on both drives. It's probably best to put them only on one drive to troubleshoot your problems. Then, once that is resolved, you could have the Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects folders at the top level of two drives but with differning events and projects within them. It should have nothing to do with a drive being a 5400 rpm. The timeouts for reading drives for an application are much slower than the rotational speed of the drive. IMHO. Best wishes.

Need to reinstall older version new one does not support finger scanner

I updated to newest version how can i download older version that supported associated dpql files

Google Toolbar doesn't support newer versions of Firefox because Google decided that its functionality was mostly built into Firefox itself now or otherwise available via a Firefox addon:
* http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html
Google provides the following help article on the topic:

Note that Firefox 4 is not supported by Mozilla anymore. To get the required security and stability updates, users need to install the later Firefox updates (currently Firefox 7..0.1).
