This sounds like it might be an App Store database glitch. I’ve seen it happen with the iTunes Store on several occasions. I would email support, and they will most likely fix it for you.

Argh. Bill you are an olympic contrarian. Did you actually even read my comment? I said an iPad would be fine for exactly what your wive is now doing. Plus, how is a Macbook Air more clunky on the road than an iPad and a keyboard? Aren’t we getting a little overly granular in terms of debate? Am I not able to talk about my personal preferences and experience without another “you’re just not seeing the big picture” lecture? Chill a little, huh?

[Craig Seeman] “Thunderbolt in on the MBAir. The “CPU” becomes nothing more than a brain with software that controls devices. Certainly some brains will be more powerful than others.”
Or a really smart hard disk. This is something I think I’ll probably try, though I may wait for the next generation of MB airs. Usually, I go to a facility or a Studio to transfer my source materials onto a G-RAID. I’m wondering if I transferred to a MBAir, and through the course of the day, as I sat waiting to talk to clients, at lunch, waiting in the car pool line to pick up my daughter, etc., I could make a little headway on my selects, and then, plug the MBair in via target drive to my 8 or whatever core and use it as a disk. It is SSD. TBolt DOES support target mode. I wonder if I could get enough speed. The idea of a super smart hard drive is kind of interesting.

[Jeremy Garchow] “What about a 15″ iPad?”
Why stop there? 17″ iPad would be swell.

[Gary Huff] “Are people really not aware how annoying editing a typical project would be with a touchscreen interface? As a control surface, yes. iPad + Resolve would probably be useful.”
Agreed. I can see doing simple things with an iPad like marking in and outs or ranges when cutting something down, for instance. BUT, not only is it a small screen, but my hands would constantly be getting in the way of what I’m looking at. I have a Cinteq that is the size of an iPad; it makes a good controller, and is very good for a natural feel when drawing, but I find masking actually a little easier with a traditional tablet and screen, where my hands are not sometimes blocking my view.

[Tim Wilson] “My dog Lenny is black, and it would indicate an egregious lack of self-awareness were he to refer to a kettle as ‘black’ in a way that connoted disparagement solely because the kettle includes ‘blackness’ as one of its attributes.””
LOL!

Sorry didn’t scroll down. I see you have configuration. Still, what OS?
-
You’ve got some sort of conflict there. Have you tried disk permissions yet?
Also, are you Snow Leopard or Lion?
What is the configuration of your setup?
-
Interesting. The saying I’m familiar with is “the pot calling the kettle black.” This came from a time when both pot and kettle hung over an open fire, which of course blackened both of them. It is sort of a parallel to “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”

Bill, I get it. I keep trying to say to you that you are preaching to the choir. I agree with most of your observations with the caveat that in the industry town I work in things are a little different. But only a little. I’ve been one-man-banding for years now. I’m very mobile. I wear many hats. I sometimes work on HD broadcast video at Starbucks. I am the very model of a modern Major-General. What does this have to do with FCP X?
