Can I upgrade a FCP4 purchased in UK to FCP Studio 5.1 here in the USA

I've noticed in the fine print of Apple's FCP Studio 5.1 upgrade form that they say the item being upgraded must have been purchased in USA or Canada. This is from the USA web site.
http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
I live in USA. So if I purchase a UK version of FCP4 (via ebay), will I be able to upgrade it to FCP Studio here in the US? Or, will I be forced to somehow upgrade it via the UK Apple site and sending the original discs back to the UK?
Anyone try this and knows for sure how it works?

Thanks Jerry,
I took your advise and called Apple (don't know why I didn't think of that!). They switched me around about 5 time to different departments and finally handed me over to the FC Crossgrade folks (1-888-840-8433) who basically told me "no". They suggested I call the UK Apple FC Crossgrade folks and see exactly how I'd upgrade this from them while living in the USA.
Thanks for your reply and help.

I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5? if so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.

I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5?
If so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.
I have moved countries (opposite side of world) so i do not have my install disks, or the disks that came with my Mac.
Where can i get the 10.5 upgrade from?
Do i need my original disks that came with my Mac?
- Thanks if anyone can help
Note:
I have never had any problems with my G5, it's been my awesome helper these past 7 years, I can't say the same thing for my new Mac, but it seems now my poor G5 is slowly being made redundent because they no longer write software for it.
I don't see why i should pay for a new Mac because my old one does not always function on the web, or having a new printer because it does not support the new software.
My New Mac Laptop has had no end of troubles since i bought it less than a year ago.
What happened to Mac being a sign of Quality??

First off, all upgrades can potentially break a system. First and foremost, backup your data before installing anything. Next read this tip as 10.5 loses Classic compatibility, and has these other issues outlined on the tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275

You probably have a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1. If 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either . To identify yours:

I am curious if possibly the hotel has some sort of VOIP block on. Have you tried Skype? Did you talk to the hotel staff? My husband is traveling to Milan in a couple of days and I wonder if he will run into the same issue. He has had no problems from Istanbul but he is staying in a corporate apartment there. If you find an answer please post back. Thanks

I have an iPhone 4 from another country but I want to connect it here in the USA what can I do

I wanted to do this only to find out i got screwed out of my money. There was litterally NOTHING i could do. I paid almost $300 for an expensive paperweight that i couldn't get service for anyway but in the country i bought it in.
I called Apple they said call the carrier i got the phone with. Called them they couldn't do anything.

Try posting in the iPhone forum. Yes, there is a trick. Make sure your post clearly describes that you tried in the iPod forum. I think it has to do with the number id digits in the number.

How can I upgrade my FCP4 now????

I'm hoping someone might hava a suggestion on how I can upgrade my FCP4 since apple terminated the upgrade offer in the middle of the month. I'd made a mental note when I saw the upgrade form that I had to send it end before the end of March, but when I sat down to do it, the March 19 date jumped out and bit me. Pretty lame, excuse, I know, but considering that I purchased FCP when it was version 1 for a grand, and I've paid another 600 for upgrades to versions 3 and 4, I think it is unconscionable of Apple to just pull the plug ...
Any suggestions??? ([email protected])
thanks... oloren

I think everyone is talking about two things here.
The OP is not angry (or so it would seem) that he missed the SALE, but that the website says only versions 1-3 are upgradeable. Is that correct? You are talking about the upgrade PATH, not the upgrade COST? Right...?
Cause the deal you missed was your fault... but to lose the ability to upgrade at all would be sucky. But that is not the case. As earlier mentioned in this post, you can still upgrade at the regular upgrade cost, the same way you always have. And the main reason for the deal was for the CROSSGRADE of people who already upgraded to 5.0. You are upgrading your 4.0, so you can still get in on the 5.1 actioin before the next version comes out. But don't wait. I don't see adobe still selling photoshop 7 anywhere. When six comes out your going to lose the upgrade path and be on a new version path.
I would get it soon...
EDIT: What Shane said... before me...

Can't upgrade/change/install versions of Flash Player? To ZoneAlarm users here's a fix.

For the past couple of weeks now I've been plagued with the
problem of not being able to properly upgrade my flash player to
version 9. I'd get pass the installation, sure, but they'd be
corrupted installations. I can't view some flash websites and they
keep telling me to install flash player, even when I have version
9! At least that's what the computer is telling me.
After scouring all over the internet for similar problems,
I've noticed more and more correlations between these cases.
Another dilemma plagued me soon after, I realized I couldn't change
my homepage as well!
Then I read the different cases of other people and what was
striking was that they seemed to all use ZoneAlarm firewall
products. I soon find that the new OS firewall feature of the
product is the suspect.
For those ZoneAlarm firewall users (specifically with the
retail versions with the OSFirewall feature), OSFirewall might be
locking your internet settings, startup programs, host file, but
most importantly, your ActiveX files! Zone Labs included this
feature to make the product that much more hardheaded, but they
don't realize that we, the users, need these files as well.
The fix is easy. Just navigate to Program Control in
ZoneAlarm (I'm using Pro). In the Main tab, you should see "Program
Control" options. Below that, there is a "Custom" button. Click
that and navigate to the "OSFirewall" tab. Viola! There's those
turds. Left clicking on the second column of the options will give
choices of permission. If you want to make sure that this
superfluous feature doesn't mess your settings again, I suggest you
give all of them "Allow" (check marks) permissions.
NOTE: Even if you disable "Program Control" or OSFirewall,
you still need to enable OSFirewall and change the permissions.
That's because the settings of permission will still be locked to
the current ones. Basically, even if you disable OSFirewall and
have the setting "Install ActiveX" as deny, it's still in denial
permission. Check Marks all the way.
If you still experience problems, and you still feel that
ZoneAlarm is causing the problems, I suggest you go the "Programs"
tab of Program Control. There, you can view all the applications
you've ran your PC. Search "Macromedia" or "Flash" related files
and give them all acces to the internet and full permissions. If
you're not sure, Delete all of the non-Microsoft programs listed to
reset those settings. When you install Flash Player again and you
see the permission requests, just "Allow" them.
P.S. OSFirewall is not available on the free version of
ZoneAlarm. Also, to make sure that ZoneAlarm is causing the
problems, run a comprehensive spyware and anti-virus scan. Most of
the time malware causes these problems as well. Happy
Computing!

Can I upgrade only to 2.0... or 2.1 without going all the way to 2.2?

My Touch (my new one after the upgrade to 2.0 killed my first one) is not upgraded. Can I just upgrade to 2.1 without going all the way to 2.2 Do you think that would be safer anyway? And if so, how do you do that?

well, seemed like it did.. and Apple replaced it free and refunded me for the upgrade so it seems like they think it did too...but that's not my question....
