Trouble restoring final cut pro from time machine

I cant install registered version of final cut pro from time machine after system restore.  It asks for serial number, but I dont have it. How do I find it?

I don't use time machine, but my understanding is that needing to re-authorize the software with the serial numbers when you do a restore from time machine is the way time machine works.

  • Final Cut Pro with Time Machine

    I'm interested in attaching a USB drive to my Final Cut Mac Pro so that I can use Time Machine--not to back up my media drive, just my boot drive. But I've heard that you can't control when TM does its backing up so I'm concerned about it impacting system performance while using FCP. Is there a solution to this? Is there any way to prevent it from backing up during FCP use? Has anyone written an app to do that?
    Thanks very much.

    You can control when it backs up. You can turn Time Machine "off" and do a Back Up Now (manually telling it when) or you can customize the automatic times using a non-Apple utility like TimeMachineEditor.

  • Restore full macbook pro from time machine backup stored on Synology DiskStation DS411

    Hi,
    I backed up my macbook pro (running Mac OS x 10.8) with time machine on a Synology DiskStation DS411.
    I never had any problem to backup my entire computer (~330gb) with Time Machine, others colleagues do so.
    Recently my hard drive failed and I had it replaced. I want to restore the full computer from this DiskStation. When I turn on the computer with the new drive, It proposes me to restore the data from a disk but can't find it even though I am plugged on the netwrok.
    I tried to copy and paste the entire folder on an external hard drive with a windows 7 machine, then plugged the hard drive to the macbookpro but it could still not see the hard drive.
    I don't really know what to do anymore. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Backing up to a third-party NAS with Time Machine is risky, and unacceptably risky if it's your only backup. This is an example of what can happen.
    If your only backup is on the NAS, contact the vendor for support.
    If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or a mini-tower (802.11ac) AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base station supports Time Machine, not any previous model.

  • Having trouble installing Final cut pro from Final cut studio 2

    hi,
    I have just recently got a new mac pro and first installed Logic Studio and all it's components.
    I just tried to install Final cut studio 2 and all it's components.
    I was able to install most of the components - Live type, cinema tools etc but not Final cut! the tick box is grayed out on the menu! the hard drive is fresh and I've not installed a previous version on that drive ever, when i move the cursor over the final cut option i get a yellow box and it says:
    "TT NEWERALREADYINSTALLED"
    Help!
    Thanks

    From this support article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1110
    Take the following steps to resolve this issue:
    1. If it is still running, quit the Final Cut Studio Installer.
    2. In Finder, navigate to /Library/Receipts/.
    3. Locate the file named ProMediaIO.pkg and drag it to the Trash.
    4. Run the Final Cut Studio Installer again.

  • Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro on Separate Machines?

    Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro from the same Final Cut Studio license on separate machines? We hadn't realised when we bought Final Cut Studio that it wouldn't allow this. Our editor doesn't use motion, and while I mainly use After Effects on our motion graphics machine, I was wanting to try using motion for some particle effects. Unfortunately, it won't let me open it while Final Cut is running on our editor's machine. I can understand not letting two copies of same application run under the same serial number at the same time, but it would be nice to be able to use both programs that we own concurrently. At very least it would be good to warn you that this isn't possible in the product description, not in some fine print license agreement once you have already bought the software.
    -Matt

    I do not know of any software, in any platform that can operate from the same license over a network simultaneously.This is the exact reason for the existence of Volume Licensing. If for example a project ran in each one of the included applications from different sources that were not an active network, I doubt you would have a problem.Like, doing a project at work and geting the outcome with the Powerbook at home...Sorta!

  • HT1553 I restored my hard drive from time machine. Why is iPhoto not displaying images properly?

    I restored my hard drive from time machine after power blinks corrupted the file system so badly that disk utility could not repair it. Since then, iPhoto has not displayed images correctly. Events are there, and blank squares are shown, but that's all. I rebuilt small and all thumbnails and permissions -- I think the top three or four options in the iPhoto rebuild utility, which took five hours to do but which seems not to have changed anything. The iPhoto library is still more than 100GB, so the photos are there. I didn't choose rebuild from backed up --- whatever the final option on the rebuild menu offers -- because that seems to be appropriate only when a backup is interrupted. Could certainly do it, though. How do I get iphoto behaving again? I have full time machine backups saved automatically and another fairly recent copy on a separate hard drive stored remotely. Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide. I've looked at existing questions and solutions without success so far.

    What version of iPhoto and system are your running?  Since you've tried rebuilding with iPhoto give this a try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If you have an external HD you might want to have the rebuilt copy created on it unless you have well more than 100 GB available on your boot drive.

  • How can I restore Parental Control Settings from Time Machine Backup?

    Hi ...
    I've found a solution to my problem.
    Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
    My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
    I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
    Hope this helps.
    BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html

  • I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this? It keeps telling me that there are missing files, too. If I upgrade to Elements 12 or beyond, will this fix the problem?

    You can't sign in because there is nothing to sign in to. For PSE 10 the only sign in was to photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a year and half. Just skip the sign in. Reinstalling will not change this.

  • Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

    Hello,
    I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
    I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
    What is wrong?
    is it my Macbook?

    I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
    Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
    Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
    My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
    Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
    Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.
