5.1 crossgrade- uninstall FCP5 first?

Just received the 5.1 universal discs.
There is no directions other than use old serial numbers.
The PDF "Late Breaking News" claims the entire application must be installed.
O.K. fine- so since it's not an upgrade I assume I can not just load in these discs- yet, no where does it state that I must first uninstall any previous version from my system.
So my question:
Do I need to uninstall my current FCP5 studio off the system before I install the new 5.1?
Thanks

If you're moving from Final Cut Studio to Final Cut Studio 5.1, you do not have to uninstall first. Many folks here would advise that as a best practice-type thing, but it is by no means a requirement from Apple.
I personally would consider it an absolute must only if you're moving from Production Suite, or lower app versions, to FCS 5.1. In that case, I'd recommend an Erase and Install of Tiger, then a fresh install of only FCS 5.1.
If you pop in the FCS 5.1 install disc (aka disc 1) on machine with FCS installed, it will indeed list the programs that is it updating on the 3rd or 4th screen.

  • CS5 for 10.6.8? uninstall CS4 first or just install CS5?

    is CS5 compatible with mac OS 10.6.8?
    AND
    do I have to uninstall CS4 first or just install CS5 with CS4 already on computer?

    Cs5 should run on mac os x 10.6.8
    It depends on whether you want to keep cs4 or not.
    There is really no need to uninstall cs4, as both cs4 and cs5 can "live together"
    If your sure that you don't want to keep cs4, then yes, it would be a good idea to uninstall cs4 before installing cs5.

    Don't want to cause any problems with my system - just need to upgrade so that I download a Citrix file that requires Snow Leopard at a minimum. Help!

    No, you don't.

  • Re-Installing FCP Studio, Uninstall First?

    Can anyone give me some advice? I have been having problems first with Compressor, and now I can't even open FCP. A friend suggested I reinstall everything.
    My question is: do I have to uninstall everything first? If so, does that involve trashing just "Final Cut Pro" - or also "Compressor," "DVD Studio Pro," etc., since they all come together on the FCP Studio discs.

    OK. Will download and try that now.
    Here are the details: first Compressor just stopped working. When I tried to export a FCP sequence using Compressor, I would get an error message that said the file name was already in use. And then the batch would fail. It was frustrating because it came out of nowhere. But FCP was still working.
    Then a seemingly separate issue: yesterday afternoon, I installed a printer driver using the original OS X disc. After that, FCP stopped opening. When I try to open the application, I can see the icon blink for a moment on the dock, but it closes again jsut as quickly. I've tried opening it from "Applications", from my project - nothing works.
    So. Not sure how to proceed. I will try FCP rescue right now.
    Thanks!

  • Upgraded from Adobe Tech Comm Suite 3.5 to 5 without uninstalling first. How do I uninstall v3.5?

    Upgraded from Adobe Tech Comm Suite 3.5 to 5 on Win 7 64-bit computer. V3.5 was not listed in Control Panel so I did not uninstall it first. Now I have duplicates of everything. How do I uninstall v3.5?

    I figured out what to do on my own. I used the Tech Comm Suite 3.5 installer to install a component I was not using. Then the uninstaller popped up in Control Panel/Programs and Features and I used that to uninstall the v3.5 components (except Photoshop). Not sure if I should uninstall Tech Comm Suite v5 and reinstall it though. Seems to be working okay for now.

  • Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall.  Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all.  tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

    So I tried to update to the newest Itunes.  It locked up my computer part way thru the install.  Black screen, computer turned itself off.  Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down.  I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist.  the other apple programs do, but no itunes.  when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded.  I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs.  however, i can open itunes.  it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall.  So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it???  I'm out of ideas.  running windows vista.

    I think my problem is fixed now.
    For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
    A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
    I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
    So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

  • I am having trouble with rules in mac mail. The first rule window shows but i cannot open a second filter rule!!

    Hi
    I am trying to create rules that would copy the incoming email to a cloud folder ( depending on sender ) and move the actual email from the inbox to a local folder on my laptop.
    The problem i seem to be having is the first rule ( regardless of whether it is copy or move ) shows ok but when i press the + button it does not bring up a new filter window as it used to.
    Totally confused on this one, can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Oh, latest versions of everything!!!!

    I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
    Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
    If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
    In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
    Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

  • I had firefox 3.6 and since I updated to 4.0 my computer is running much slower. I called my ISP and they cannot uninstall the 4.0 version. I play alot of POGO and it runs sooo slowly. I am using windows XP. Can you help me get the 3.6. version back?

    I would like to get the 3.6 version and uninstall the 4.0 version computer running slow

    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • Uninstall Elements before a Windows reinstall?

    After one week of a new computer, hackers got into it. Long story short, in order to totally wipe clean and secure it, I have to go back to factory specs and reinstall windows. During that first week, I had installed a brand new copy of PS Elements 10 (never opened it-it had sat on the shelf!).
    1) Is there a limit to how many times I can install the program on the same computer? If I have a problem in the future, will I have used up my installations?
    2) Should I uninstall it first, before doing the windows reinstall or just let it get erased during the Windows 8.1 reinstall process??
    Thank you for any words of wisdom!

    Nope, there is  no limit on number of installations and uninstallations but make sure that before uninstalling you deactivate your application. There is a limit on number of activations for a serial number which is two. Hence you can use serialized PSE on two different machines.
    Please let me know if ti doesn't answer your question.
