Will it run on the new "Pro?"

Apple announced new Macbook Pros today. I'd like to get one and run FCP on it. However, it has a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics and the Apple Tech Specs page says the FCP requires "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)." And all the available hard drives run at 5400 rpm, while I was under the impression that one needed 7200 rpm for video, especially HD. So my question is, as far as running FCP on the new Macbook Pro, will it or won't it?
Thanks for any info!

OK It will.
I have used FCP 6 on the Unibody MacBook with integrated NVIDIA and White with intel integrated X3100 and 950m.
The X3100 and NVIDIA I have used used HD 1920 x 1080 24p and 60i. Worked ok. Render was a bit slow but thats how it was a few years ago even for Professionals with what were Powerful computers at the time but things have improved for those.
I am not sure but don't think that the Graphics has much to do with rendering its more of a Ram HD and processor.
As for Motion well with the 950m Motion 3 quit a lot. The X3100 Motion 3 quit a lot less and worked ok at times but did get slower with adding more and more effects. Now with the NVIDIA it rarely quit and worked a lot better than with the X3100.
So if you will be using Motion a lot and with major things than get a Computer with a dedicated card. If not than the 13 MBP is fine.

  • I was going to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mavericks 10.9.2, but the installer program notified me stating my appleworks 6 app will not run on the new set up. is there a procedure to keep or switch my documents in order to obtain the mavericks upgrade?

    I can't say personally since I never used AW, but see if these articles help:

    http://www.cultofmac.com/248546/convert-system-os-9-appleworks-6-files-to-os-x-p ages-files-os-x-tips/
    I suggest that you clone your current drive with 10.6.8 to an external drive. If you have any issues after upgrading to Mavericks, you can boot back into 10.6.8.
    Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. If you need help creating your clone, let us know.

  • Office 2008 and Mavericks, Will it run in the new OS?

    I have an iMac running Mountain Lion and I have the Office 2008 suite.
    Will the suite continue running if I upgrade to Mavericks?
    I have a Mac Book Pro that when I upgraded to Mountain Lion from the one before a few applications including Parallels were not compatible.  I had a windows license and my other copy of Office 2008 quit working.  Dont want to pay more money for new software to Microsoft to begin with.   I gave up the Windows environment but I cannot give up Office, I can't afford to buy the newer version when what I have works for what I do
    I already lost a copy of MS office for Mac  

    See https://discussions.apple.com/message/23547845#23547845 where the answer is yes and no.  From that thread it appears Office 2008 will run on Mavericks but some people are having trouble with it. 
    Note, MS will not be supporting Office 2008 on Mavericks.  Mavericks-related updates will be applied to Office 2011.  So if you upgrage to Mavericks try Office 2008 but if there are issues be prepared to shell out $140 for the home/student 2011 version (or more for the version that includes Outlook).
    Is there a compelling feature in Maverkicks that would compel you to upgrade?  If not stick with ML to avoid giving MS more money.

  • Will cs5 run on the new macbook air?

    The new macbook air has no hard drive, but instead an internal 128gb flash drive attached directly to the motherboard. It uses the OSX platform. Will the air run cs5?
    Thanks!

    Andrew,
    Sorry to be late in replying but I can assure you that CS5 is running great on the MacBook Air 11" with no issues.

  • HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Sorry for being unclear.
    When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list).  I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account).  I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro.  When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying  "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
    I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite.  FCP was working fine until the upgrade.  Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

    If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc.  you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder. 
    You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it. 
    You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library. 
    If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod.  I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

  • When will the new Pros be in stores?

    Does anyone know when the Apple stores willhave the new Pros?
    Thanks

    I called the Oakbrook, IL store on Monday and they said June 17th. I called again today and they said "no official date", but they expect some on Friday or Monday. I am buying one for a college student with the free iPod Touch and asked when the iPod Touch will include the new 3.0 software to avoid the $9.95 upgrade fee. He said they have a large inventory without the 3.0 software to sell first and was not aware of any "free upgrade" if you buy it once the software is released.

  • If I buy a MacBook Pro now will it update to the new Yosemite in the fall?

    If I buy a MacBook Pro now, will it update to the new Yosemite software in the fall?

    If you purchase a brand new model, yes. If you purchase an older one, it depends on what the system requirements for Yosemite are, which aren’t publicly available.

  • Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air

    Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air (just for looking at footage and assembling a rough cut) or is the graphics processing inadequate? Also wondering the same about Photoshop CS5 and Aperture 3.1.3.

    You can install on (1) Tower and (1) Laptop, as long as they are both used by you, and NOT at the same time.  This is for when you edit on your tower, but then need to edit at home, or on the road.  You cannot use one copy of FCP on multiple machines at the same time.  You need one copy for each machine you intend to use at the same time.

  • AME will not update to the new release

    AME will not update to the new release.  Tried from the help menu in both AME and Premiere.  It Fails each time I try.  Is this a known issue.  I was not able to update AE or Premiere from the CC app manager.  I had to update those both from the update item in the help menus of each program.  What is going on?

    There are two steps in patching via creative cloud or from within the application.
    1. download the patch
    2 apply the patch
    Which stage failed for you? 
    I did run into download issue yesterday where CC tried to download patches for a few apps at the same time and it failed to download.  I suspect the servers that patches reside on were busy.  When I tried it a few hours later, it worked.
    You can download the manual patchers from these locations:

  • Can the 30" monitor run on the new mini?

    Can the 30" monitor run on the new mini and is the new mini more powerful/faster than my current original 20" iMac intel duo?
    Thanks in advance for everyone's feedback!
    PS. I know the 30" is due for a refresh and would wait....

    You would need the mini-DVI to Dual-Link DVI adapter, but the 30" would work with that up to it's maximum 2560x1600 resolution.
    However, while the new mini will be a little faster than your existing 20" iMac (assuming by 'original' you mean the 2.0GHz 'early 2006' model), it's not going to offer you a significant performance boost. The mini would offer you greater maximum RAM (4Gb instead of your current 2Gb limit) and has a significantly faster bus and greater L2 cache, and it has 11n wifi rather than your existing 11g, plus a number of other minor enhancements, but you need to consider whether the benefits in terms of better performance and greater flexibility of buying this system, and the display to go with it, are sufficient to justify the costs.
    Much may depend on which software you are using, or plan to use. If you are habitually running legacy software which needs Rosetta, and often need more than one such application open at a time, your maximum of 2Gb RAM may be limiting system performance overall by quite a bit. A mini could help significantly simply by allowing you more RAM. Alternatively, if you are running little more than basic and common applications such as web browsers, email, etc, and have just 1Gb RAM, you might find that a better investment would be to increase the RAM in your iMac to 2Gb, and keep using that for a while longer - perhaps while you decide exactly what your future needs are going to be and thus which hardware is best suited to meet them.
    Alternatively, if you are just feeling that it's time for the iMac to retire and you want a new system, the new mini looks to be a very credible choice for a wide range of users - and pretty good value too!

    Hey there rmflint,
    It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?
