Will FCS run on a MacBook (not MacBook Pro?)

I'm looking in to getting FCS, but I've got a MacBook, not a MacBook Pro. Am I understanding it correctly that FCS won't run on my MacBook because I don't have some graphics processor/chip/card?
If that's the case, is there any way for me to run FCS on my MacBook?

I won't be installing anything but DVD Studio Pro 4. Although just today my Compressor (came with Logic) stopped working, so I might try to install that one as well. I don't know what the **** is going on but since I've 'upgraded' to Snow Leopard my programs are dropping like flies.
Larry, you say that FCS 3 works with your MacBook. On the Apple site as well as others it is simply labeled Final Cut Studio. It comes with Final Cut Pro 7 and all those other programs, but I'm wondering what the current version of the entire package is and if it is the same one that you mentioned. Or maybe FCS 3 is a previous version that will be impossible to locate?

How well will Premier run on a MacBook Pro Retina i7 with only 8GB of RAM?

My niece wants to do some video editing using Premier and we were wondering if there would be a problem running it on a MacBook Pro with i7 and retina display with only 8GB of RAM? I know 16GB would be better but that is not an option at this point. She is not looking at really large projects.

I am running Vista Home Premium with 2GB RAM and 2ghz processor just fine. I used to run XP too prior to upgrading to Vista. XP undoubtedly flew with 2GB RAM however Vista runs smoothly as well.
As far as overheating is concerned, both XP and Vista run hotter than OSx and noticeably so. The thing to note is that Vista does not run any hotter than XP on my macbook pro.

Hi everybody,
I have a MacBook Pro. Its got a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor. It's Version OS
X 10.4.11. I've been hearing conflicting statements from people on all different websites saying they've gotten The Sims Complete Collection to work on their Intel based mac, but then other people say they can't get it to work. Does anyone have a first hand experience with this game on a Intel based Mac? I would really appreciate some help since I was thinking about buying this game. I don't want to spend the money and find out that it won't work on my Intel-based Mac. Please help! Thanks!

Yes, officially you can max at 4GB RAM and unofficially, 6GB, and it's an easy home project. Should take only about 15 minutes. Instructions here (select your model as "Early 2008" from the contents chart to get to the specifics):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270
or video versions here:
Memory (17-inch Early 2008 MBP)
Memory/Hard Drive/Optical Drive (15-inch Early 2008 MBP)
the site that hosts the videos also sells Mac-compatible RAM:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/Pro/Core2/
I've bought most of my RAM from them for at least a decade
PS: Thomas--he did provide specifics in his SP report: Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1

Will Adobe CS6 work with MacBook Pro 4.1 on 10.6.8?

I know Adobe CS6 will work with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, which I just upgraded to, but will it run on my Macbook Pro 4.1 (late 2008)? I'm currently on CS4....Thx

Thanks so much. A long time Mac addict (1984), I'm still not interested in some of the system profile gobbledygook like Open GLs and stuff. Happy New Year....

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!

East/West Gold - Can I run it on MacBook Pro w/ Logic Pro?

I heard "somewhere" that East/West products have trouble running on a MacBook Pro w/ Logic Pro. Any feedback?
I have also heard that if I buy East/West products I now have to buy a separate "player" (like Kontakt) in order to run them on a MacBook, although what I'm reading is that this is only true for previous versions, not new purchases. Anybody heard any of this?
Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom!

EWQLSO traditionally comes with the Kompakt player, which NI are not updating for MacIntel, so it won't run as is on a Macbook.
However, you have two choices now. You can either buy Kontakt, which is available as a UB for MacIntel machines, and which should%% load the libraries, or EastWest have developed their own player software. Whether you get it free or have to pay the upgrade depends on when you purchased it - if you haven't bought yet, you'll (I think) get the new player for free.
Do check when the player comes out though, I don't think it's ready yet, but could be mistaken.
You can get details of this at www.soundsonline.com
%%Note: Kontakt should load the libraries, but there has been a longstanding authorisation bug in Kontakt which sometimes prevents this. There are easy workarounds on the PC (registry editing) but none that I've seen on the Mac. Some people have had no problems, other people just cannot load encrypred libraries at all - so do check anddo some research before purchase.
You can always post in the Soundsonline forum for more details.

Will this ram work in macBook Pro

Will this work for my macbook pro? Will macbook pro support 4 Gig or ram?

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

It will work fine, but as the other poster stated the price is high. You can purchase the same memory at DataMem for $126.00.
If you have a Core 2 Duo Mac you can install 4 GBs of RAM (two 2 GB DIMMS) but only 3 GBs will be usable. The remaining 1 GB resides in an address space currently used by the operating system and thus not available to the user.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It depends on your card. See > http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/ You need a Intel HD Graphics 3000 or better. If you haven't got this graphic card, you can't use Final Cut Pro.
Also, note that it will work properly if you have a dedicated card, like the one that has got a 15-inch MacBook Pro

Now it won't start up. Have a Replacement on order. Is there a bigger issue or does a battery need to be in the compartment to boot up? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Working battery needs to be in for the computer to function.
