What happens when you try? If you have the database on the drive you might need to press and hold down shift as you launch iTunes to get an option to choose or create a library.

Can’t open library on a different computer. My computer died while working on final cut. Luckily I had the library on an external drive. I tried opening it with a different laptop. It says it cannot open because the library was originally created with a newer version of final cut. The new laptop is up to date so I don’t know how the version could be a problem. Any tips?

Problems with transferring FCP X Library (projects) to another computer I have an external HDD with some FCP X Libraries created in FCP 10.4. Now, I would like to edit these Libraries (projects) in another computer in FCP 10.4.6. But, when I try to open any library from the HDD, I always receive: The operation could not be completed. Permission denied. “Library name” is already in use by “Macbook” on “Macbooks-MacBook-Pro.local”. What's wrong? Is there any other projects data saved in another place besides Library? Thank you!
