USING MULTICLIP NUM CUT WITH MBP

Using the multicam keyboard, if I turn on num lock (fn F6) and use the numbers to switch (j,k,l,keys, etc.) the spacebar doesn't work to start playing the timeline. If I start playing in the canvas, the cuts (blue arrows) are not made in the sequence. Ideas/solutions to start play using the spacebar? Thanks.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1G RAM, 500G LaCie HD

You have to have open selected (in the Viewer or Canvas), and you also have to have the multiclip playback selected in the Timeline window's RT pop up menu. make sure they are both set up that way.
Don't have a MBP here, but the spacebar shouldn't be deactivated don't think. the JKL keys still work though right?
If you intend to do this a lot, I'd look at a num pad addition to the laptop...

How To Use Director's Cut with FCP

How do I use Director's Cut with Final Cut Pro? I know it'll work, but I just don't know how. I connect it and FCP says VTR connected, but then when I try to capture it it says to make sure device is in VTR mode.
-Angela

Think you'll have to choose non-controllable device in fcp menu>AV Settings>Device Contol Preset tab.

You can use the final cut with macbook air 11 x 4GB with external hard drive

I can install and use the final cut X, with macbook air 11", 4GB with an external hard drive, and them transfer to the mac pro

No, not directly. You would need to transfer your data from your iPad to your Mac and then back it up to an external drive.

Can you use Apple Studio Dislpay with MBP?

Thinking about getting the new MBP. I have a 17" Apple Studio Display that I got with my Power Mac years ago. Since the MBP's now have a miniDVI port, can I still use this monitor with it?

If it's an LCD display, use this adapter as well as a mini-DVI to DVI adapter. If it's a CRT display, you can't.

Using a PC Keyboard with MBP

I have been using an external PC keyboard with my MBP for a few months now and overall, it works great. The problem I'm having is that the Delete button doesn't work.
I've also noticed that if I use Apple software products, certain buttons behave differently from say using them with Microsoft Office. For example, the End button will scroll this Safari browser down to the bottom, while End will take me to the End of a line in MS Word.
Although it would be nice to get consistent behavior, I'm more concerned with trying to get the Delete button working, or at least have a way to delete a file from Finder by pressing a button on my external PC keyboard.
Any help would be appreciated.

Boscom,
I have the exact same concerns. I use a Goldtouch ergonomic keyboard with my MBP & I want its keys to behave the same whether I'm using Apple or Windows software.
Please let me know if you run across any help for this issue & I promise to do the same.

Help with building timeline using Multiclip

I am trying to learn how to build a timeline using multiclip.
I have my multiclip set up, have the buttons on top of the timeline so I can switch or cut angles. Everything is set so I can switch in realtime. I even have it set so I am using the audio from camera 3 and it does not change when I switch angles.
I hate to admit it, but I don't know what to do next. I have read through FCP user manual, all the pages on multiclips. I know how to do this that and the other, but I cannot figure out how to go from one camera to the other and have that information stay in the timeline. Maybe I missed a page or I'm missing a page... For example:
Ok, I start with camera 1. At 1:30 I want to have camera 3 view on the timeline for 10 seconds, then to camera 2.
I click the canvas and I can start the playback in the timeline, use the switch button to view camera 3 then switch back to 2. I see each angle on the canvas. All the Timeline does is show which camera I am currently viewing. I was expecting FCP to build the timeline to have 1;30 of camera 1, 10 sec of camera 3 then camera 2. Obviously I was mistaken.
Can anyone take the time to bring me up to speed or point out what to type in the user manual to find out how to do this?
Thanks
Jim

Agreed. But I never use the numeric keypad for anything because, generally, FCP is not smart enough to know not to enter numbers. It would be so 21st Century if FCPX fixed all of that interface silliness.
Try installing the multiclip button bar. Also good for lots of fast shortcuts.

Using files with MBP from windows7 on TC

As title says. I want to back up all myfiles from my windows 7 laptop. (It’s going in for repairs) I have tons ofmusic I would to have on my TC and use on my 17' Gen2 MBP. How would I go abouthaving these files usable so iTunes can see them on my MBP? Or do I have tohave them locally on my MBP? If I do how can I transfer them to my MBP usingthe TC? Should I use the migration assistant? I guess I want to use my TC as astreamer for music. But I also want the pics from that same laptop on TC so I can access them with the MBP.
Thanks

Use iPhone 3G with MBP?

Hello
In the coming months i'll be moving around lots (not hotels) and there will be places with no phone lines or any type of connection at all.
The question - is it possible to use my iPhone 3G with my MBP for internet access as I find the 3G screen a little too small. It would be great if I could to do light usable browsing and other stuff via 3G in citys, towns, villages etc.
Cheers

By the way, to the owners of this board, can we PLEASE have an FAQ with the >following questions on it:
1. Can I use my iPhone to tether to my laptop? Answer: Not at the moment.
2. Can I view Flash movies in Safari? No.

Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X

Does anyone have any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X for Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 shooting in 1080 P 60 ( mts file extension)

Don't use these generic offbrand converters to get footage into FCP X. they re-encode your video and cause loss of quality. If FCP X cannot import your video then use a utility that simply re-wraps it into a quicktime file with no transcoding or loss. I prefer Clipwrap which works great and is updated frequently but there are free alternatives like Media Converter or Rewrap.
But version 10.04 of FCP X should import it directly from camera as long as the folder structure is complete and you are not trying to merely import it from single mts files.

Using Alu Power Adapter with The new MBP Unibody 2009 ? (Both 85 Watts)

Hi,
Can i use the Power Adapter off my Aluminium MBP 2.5 GHz,15" intel core 2 Duo (MacBookPro4,1), with the new Unibody 15" 2.66 GHz(MacBookPro5,1)?
They are both 85 Watts.
The Power adapter for Aluminium is :
Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
Output : 16,5-18,5V, 4,6 A Max
Delta Eletronic
The Power Adapter for Unibody is :
Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
Output : 18,5V 4,6A, 16,5V, 3,6A
LiteOn Technology
Thanks for The Lights.

That's correct, I meant to type 85W.
Can anyone advise what the impact will be of using older 85W adapters with the new MBP's that come with a 60W adapter?
Is there a shorter battery life in the long-term, or is the new battery designed to cope the same with either of these power adapters?

Possible to use external display with MBP on battery & in clamshell mode

i can use the extetrnal display with my recently purchased MB Pro - lid is closed and external display works.
but the moment i try to do this with the power not connected to the MB Pro - MB Pro goes to sleep. i can wake it up with the external keyboard but it goes back to sleep in a minute or two. and this problem goes away if power is connected.

Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

Here's the short-cut solution:
Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
Make sense?

How do you use new ipod nano with itunes 10.6.3?

How do you use new ipod nano with Itunes 10.6.3. I have MBP and it lists itunes 10.6.3 as most current version and won't let me install itunes 11

The seventh generation iPod nano requires at least iTunes 10.7 and Mac OS X 10.6.

Using same iTunes library with external hard drive (EHD) on different PCs

I know some of the issues related to this question have been touched on in different discussions but I don't think I have seen a clear yes/no and if yes, here's how, answer to my queries, so here goes.
Like another member, I would like to take my iTunes library with me when I'm away on holiday so that I can (for example) use an Apple TV with Home Sharing to watch movies in my library or pay albums in my music library while on holiday, in the same way as I am able to at home. I have a Samsung NC 10 notebook running Windows XP (which I would take with me with a Samsing Story EHD) and a Dell desktop. My iTunes media folders are now on the EHD and I think I have iTunes library files on the Dell and on the Samsung. Of course, if iTunes Match covered movies as well as music, I would use that and just take my Apple TV with me ... but it doesn't and seems not likely to.
By messing around and not properly understanding some of the discussions about this topic, I think my iTunes library looks as I expect it to be, on my Dell - though I have yet to test this by doing a synch with my iPad or iPod Touch. However, when I plug the EHD into the Samsung and open my library, I am missing at least one movie and I don't have any artwork showing for any of the movies. This is inspite of clicking Get Album Artwork, Consolidate Files and clicking to add, as a file (or folder) to the library, the missing movie which is on the EHD in the Movies folder of the iTunes Media. In iTunes on the Samsung "Preferences>Advanced", the iTunes media location (on my EHD) is correct.
I have obviously messed something up trying to replicate my Dell desktop iTunes library on the Samsung. So:
can/should I start again (if that is the best thing to do) with getting my iTunes library properly on to my Samsung notebook? And, if yes, how do I do that?
is it really possible to have all that you need to run and use iTunes on an EHD (i.e. both media folders and the various iTunes library files (.itl, .itdb, .xml etc.)) so that whenever I plug the EHD into my Dell or Samsung I can access my iTunes library in the same way and via the same files? Or, do you always have to have the library files (at least) located on the PC you are connecting your EHD to (showing my ignorance here! )?
if you can have all the library files as well as media on the EHD (i.e. all of your iTunes library), I assume there is more to moving these from the C drive in my Dell to the EHD, than just cutting and pasting them into the EHD and then deleting similarly named files in C drive in the Samsung?
if all of my iTunes library can be located in the EHD, would I just access that (i.e. open my iTunes library) - whether on my Dell or the Samsung - by pressing the Shift key when clicking on iTunes as a programme on my Dell or Samsung, or - and I appreciate this is more basic computer knowledge than iTunes query - does the fact that I would need to access iTunes via some form of link on the relevant PC indicate why some iTunes library files would always have to reside on the PC rather than the EHD?
if the iTunes library files have to stay on the relevant PC, how can they be kept in synch - i.e. the more portable Samsung offering the same access and picture of my iTunes library as the Dell does - or is iTunes just not set up to do this, in which case I might as well ignore trying to replicate my iTunes library on the Samsung?.
Apologies for this long list of questions. Any pointers to where the answers lie or even better specific answers themselves would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.

I think that's yes, yes, yes, yes, and not necessary...
Make a split library portable
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above right, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. A portable library can be moved from one path to another without breaking the links from the library to the media, and being self-contained it is much easier to backup and restore. (You do backup, don't you?).
You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
Before you start any media files that are outside of the media folder will need to be consolidated. If the library is in the old style layout then it should be upgraded to iTunes Media Organization (Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder, otherwise the links to these won't survive changes in the path of the library.
The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
You can create or connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes. (Note iTunes will continue to use this library until you use the same method again.)
You can move the library files to a new location and connect to it there as long as the media stays put.
You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
IMPORTANT: After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
In essence all you need to do to join up a split library and make it portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.

How can I buy it on my Apple ID so I can use Recovery to put my MBP to function once again? Help D=

My MBP just failed, bought it from a friend and dont have an Apple ID with Lion, Lion is no longer on the App Store so, how can I buy it on my Apple ID so I can use Recovery to put my MBP to function once again? Help D=
Or what else could I do? I don´t have any USB to reinstall the OS and my DVD Unit is death, but it seems I can reinstall over Wi-Fi if Im able to link an OS X Lion license to my Apple ID

You would need to call Apple Sales (USA 1-800-MY-APPLE) and purchase a redemption code for Lion.
