Transfer FCP License from Macbook Pro to iMac

I am about to begin editing a huge project, and currently I have Final Cut Pro 7 on my Macbook Pro Version 10.6.8. I am fine to edit on this computer, but I would prefer to edit on an iMac that formerly belonged to a friend but I now have in my possession.
So my question is: what are the steps to transferring my FCP license from my Macbook Pro to the iMac?
I do a lot of traveling and editing, so I do not want this to be a permanent transfer. How will I then be able to transfer the FCP license back to the Macbook Pro in a few months?
Thanks!

The FCP license allows a desktop and laptop installation just so long as they are not used simultaneously.
Install the software and have at it.

  • How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

    i just bought a iMac.  How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac?  Much thanks for your help!

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.

  • Best way to "transfer" Aperture images from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15" to import and edit images (within Aperture and CS6 as an external editor) when I'm out in the field shooting.
    I prefer to have all my images in one location and thus desire to copy eveything to my home base iMac when I return home.
    What is the best way to "transfer" those images so that my homebase iMac Aperture Library can recognize the new masters and edited versions?  Complicating this is the desire to "stamp" each image with a metadata preset upon import that I can do either at the laptop import or upon transfer to the iMac.
    I know just enough to be dangerous but clearly there is an optimal way to consolidate and manage images when using two computers.
    Welcome any thoughts from fellow photographers!

    Thanks Kirby.  I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library.  So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop.  By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
    What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
    Thanks for your continued assistance.

  • What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?  I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen. 

    Hi there rainyri!
    The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

    But the newest Mac notebooks do not have a firewire port.
    So he may need a TB to FW adapter, $29, a FW 400 or 800 cable, $??, and then a FW 400 to 800 cable/port adapter (If the old Mac only has a FW 400 port), $??.
    It is unknown if the old Mac has a FW 400 or 800 port.

  • I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iPhone 5?

    I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iphone 5?????
    Is there anyone to help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    This should work, how did you do? Explain ‘I can’t transfer my files’. You are in the new mac, the older mac is connected via wl network or eth, it is detected and mounted, and does not work?
    Firewire would be better, probably with a 400-to-800 fw adapter (6 to 9 pin).

  • How do I transfer Logic tracks from Macbook Pro to My Mac Pro tower

    How do I transfer Logic tracks from Macbook Pro to My Mac Pro tower?

    Logic saves projects in the Logic folder, found in the Music folder.
    Projects are saved into folders, which contain the Logic file, and any associated audio files, freeze files, bounces, et cetera.
    These projects can be dragged to an external drive, a USB thumb drive, or sent via wi-fi over AirDrop.

    how do you transfer pages application from macbook to new imac?

    Install it on the iMac using the same method you used to install it on your MacBook.
    If your MacBook came with it already installed, it may not be a version compatible with your new iMac.

  • Quickest way to transfer iMovie 09 Files from Macbook Pro to iMac

    Hello:
    We recently got an iMac and I would like to transfer my iMovie 09 files from my macbook pro to the iMac which also has iMovie 09. Can you suggest the quickest and easiest way to do this? I am assumign this can be done since they are both iMovie 09-anyhelp is appreciated

    Huh.
    Well, my approach has always been:
    1. Click the "Consolidate Media" menu in File, and click the buttons to move all source materials into the project.
    2. Shut down iMovie
    3. Navigate to Movies/iMovie Projects in Finder, and copy the corresponding project over to the other machine's Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
    4. Start up iMovie on the other machine.
    I don't do much video (mostly photo slideshows) in iMovie, but this certainly hasn't caused me any problems before. iMovie just sees the new item in its iMovie Projects folder and allows you to select it.

  • Trying to transfer songs from MacBook Pro to iMac

    I'm trying to transfer songs from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac. I want to just copy and transfer the songs to the iMac. What is the easiest and fastest way to do this process? The thing is I still want to be able to play the songs still in my MBP and is it possible to sync to both iMac and MBP?

    akl8806,
    If you have a 6-pin male-to-male Firewire cable the easiest way is target disk mode.
    Start up your MBP holding down the "T" key until you see the firewire logo.
    Connect the Firewire cable to the MBP and then the iMac.
    The MBP will show up as a external hard drive on the iMac. Go to MBP's Drive/Users/Your username/Music/
    Copy the iTunes Library to the same place on your iMac's drive.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • How to transfer itunes control from macbook pro to new imac

    I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that I have used the past several years as my iTunes 'control' device. It's what I connect my iPhone, iPad, and iPod to in order to sync music, apps, etc and to back those devices up. I just bought a new iMac and would like it to be that 'control' device now, but can't seem to find any way to do that. I can't do anything with Home Sharing except play music while another device is also on the network, and even the iTunes copy directions pertaining to external drives, CDs, etc, all just transfer the music library. I want apps, too. If I try plug anything directly into my iMac via USB I get an annoyingly persistent bonging error message - "iTunes could not connect to this (whichever device I plugged in)".
    I was really excited about having my new iMac as my iTunes control base and retiring my MacBook, but it appears I might not be able to do that. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

    I gave up and called Apple Support. Turns out it was actually a simple problem - and a valuable lesson learned. Several months ago I was at the airport when I realized I'd forgotten my Apple-to-USB cable. Went to a kiosk and bought a "guaranteed genuine Apple replacement". Well, it isn't. That was the cable I was trying to use to connect my various devices to my new iMac and that was what was causing my problem. Apple support guy was very polite in telling me it wasn't up to Apple standards. Tracked down a genuine, genuine Apple-to-USB cable and bingo! everything is working fine. I'm backing up and syncing my iPad to my iMac as I write this. Caveat emptor when buying "genuine Apple replacement" junk at airport kiosks! And thank you for polite, professional, and spot on support from Apple!

  • How to transfer mail messages from macbook pro to an iMac

    i cannot get my messages from a macbook pro to an imac.
    i made a macbook complete backup copy to my time capsule and then iniciated my imac from that info.

    There is a bug when doing “export mailbox” and import mailbox functionality. 
    Workaround:
      > Open Finder and under the “Go” menu, hold down the option key.  The “Library” sub-menu will show up.
      > Copy the entire “Library > Mail” folder to a USB disk (it will not work if copying to a shared drive for some reason)
      > Take the USB disk to the new computer and do an “Import Mailbox” and select the copied Data file.  There will be LOTS of folders that come up for import, you can browse through and deselect what you don’t need (e.g. trash or junk mail), OR just import everything and then clean up from your mailbox.
      > The imported folders will show up in mail under the “On My Mac” area.

  • Transferring from MacBook Pro to iMac

    I'm thinking about purchasing an iMac, currently I have a MacBook Pro. I don't want to get rid of my MacBook Pro, but I want to transfer everything over to the iMac since it has way more storage space and use that primarily at home and use my MacBook Pro for work related things. Is it pretty easy to transfer everything over- will it also transfer programs? For instance, I have word, excel, and powerpoint on my MacBook Pro and want those on my iMac but I got those from an old roommate so no longer have access to the discs.

    You can back up to a hard drive with time machine. This will restore your everything and remmber the way everything was. When finished backing up, plug in to the iMac, go on time machine, and click enter time machine. It should be straightforward from there on.
