FCP7 upgrade without a previous version installed?

So yes I screwed up. let's get that out of the way. When I bought FCPX I left on my machine FCP7 for a while but then I though, eh, I'm not using 7 for the forseeable future, let's get rid of it for the time beilg and if I need it I'll just reinstall. I've got this thing about needlessly filling up disk space. Well I went to my install discs today to do just that and much to my chagrin realized what I had was an upgrade version. Had forgotten all about that. No need to go into what that did to my blood pressure.
I went to the latest version previous to that and it was FCS 5.1. I put the install disc in and immediately got the soul-crushing error: PowerPC applications are no longer supported. At first I was confused as I had had FCP7 on this very iMac I'm using. It was all very confusing but then realized it was a Universal app so that's why, tho I bought it when I was working on a PPC G5, I could still use it on the Intel iMac. A little (very) investigation revealed the final nail in the coffin: that with Lion, PPC apps were no longer useable.
So here I am with a set of worthless FCPStudio 5 and a nearly useless, tho otherwise just fine, FCP7 upgrade discs. I mean, it's not even like I could dig up a crack for it. I HAVE a legal version w/SN but I can't use it! I remember a time one could install an app that was theoretically an upgrade but didn't need a previous version onboard, (I did that with Freehand once years ago) but it was clear with FCP that I wasn't being allowed to.
So what I need to know is, is there anyway, any kind of workaround, for me to install from these upgrade discs I have without having that all-important previous version onboard?

No, see, I didn't have the option to do anything. I had no ability to select FCP in the install list. I never got so far as it asking what the SN was. I had the old SN at hand ready to supply to the installer.
But it hit me that the only apps I was proscribed from installing were FCP, Motion and Compressor and I thought OOHHHHH! It's not letting me install on that drive because FCPX is already there. Sure enough, I rebooted to my other partition where I also have an OS installed and was able to put FCP7 there.
You just replied to me before I had a chance to tell folks to "never mind"

What version of Windows are you using? This is not a problem with iTunes. It may have to do with an issue of the compatibility of a newer version of iTunes with an older Windows system/older hardware.
What do you want to synchronize? If you were previously using iCloud you should be able to restore most of your oringinal content onto your new phone via was was last synched with the iCloud on your previous phone/device.

Can I install windows 8 on my mac without any previous versions of windows

I am planning on installing windows on my mac.(Never done that before).
As I am in my final year of my degree I need to use a lot of softwares only available for windows.
My only concern is that will I be able to install Windows 8 (as its the latest version) without any older versions on my Mac?
Or any alternatives?

Thanks Csound1 and Allan Eckert.
I will take note of this.
I can wait however long it takes for windows 8 to be supported by boot camp.

I upgrade from the previous version to Firefox 4.o, I can no longer connect to my work HTTPS website.

The site I connect to is my citrix account at work, which needs a certificate. I could connect with the previous version of Firefox (3.6). When I upgraded the browser I got the errors mentioned earlier. I changed the setting for the specific setting from false to true. I still unable to connect and got a different error. Could someone please help! Thanks - Aldo

If you used the option to delete settings, or whatever it is worded when uninstalling, Firefox will remove all your important data information from profiles for all installed versions of Firefox, and you will then need luck and a file recovery utility to try to restore the information.
You mentioned files being moved to Trash, I was hoping you may still have the required original files. I use Windows XP, and I realise Macs use different locations for files, but I think the files have the same names.

Upgrade without having AA Standard installed?

Hello,
I have AA Standard version 6 on disk. I have a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate. Vista does not support AA version 6 so it is not installed. I would like to purchase version 9 which is compatible with Vista. My question is, I would like to purchase the upgrade. Can I install the upgrade version even though it it not actually installed on my computer? Will it just ask me the serial number of the previous version to verify upgrade eligibility?
Please advise.
Thank you.

It is a standalone installation (not requiring the older version to actually be installed) so technically you can do it.
There is a "possibility" that you may need the help of tech support though.

IPhoto turned most of my edited photos into black files without any previous versions

I discovered the issue when I tried to edit some photos and the edit screen only displayed noise. After trying the steps recommended here and rebuilding my library most of my edited photos were black... I tried to return them to their previous versions but there aren't any.
When I create a new library and import a single photo and then try to edit it the iPhoto edit screen still either displays an image with noise or a black one.
I really like iPhoto and hope this issue can be fixed!
I'm using iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3

This is really a puzzlement. The last test I can think of is it could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to test that premise:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot.
Also do you have access to another Mac that you can test editing some of the photos you're having problems with here?
Here's another test: reformat the card in the camera or use another card, take some photos, import and edit. This could tell if there's a problem with the file itself due to a corrupted card format.

Upgrade: Cannot uninstall previous version XP Home SP3

I think the uninstall crashed after deleting portions, now I can't finish my upgrade without supplying some kind of password I've never had.

Upgrading leaves the old version installed. Why and can I get rid of it?

I had SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on a Win7 box, and upgraded it to SQL Server 2014. All seems to have gone well, but in the programs menu I can see that SSMS 2008 R2 is still installed. For some reason, I seem to have SQL Server 2012 installed as
well, which is clever as I never installed it! I don't know if this came with SQL Server 2014, but I now seem to have
three versions of SQL Server installed!
Is there any reason why the old versions weren't uninstalled? Surely once I've upgraded, I don't need all the old stuff. Can I safely uninstall anything related to 2008 R2 and 2012, or will this cause problems?
Thanks

Back out Reader 9.5.1 upgrade/update, restore previous version 9.x

How can I back out the most recently installed Reader (9.5.1) which is evidently causing a problem in opening links for PDF files from within IE 8 and Firefox 14?
Thanks.

You uninstall the unwanted version (from Control Panel), then install the earlier version you want.
Note that earlier versions may not be secure.

Java 8 JRE Upgrades Are Leaving Old Versions Installed

I am trying to silently deploy Java 8 update 31 JRE, but the silent installation is leaving old versions of both 7 JRE and 8 JRE installed, so a single workstation may have 3 versions of Java JRE when we only want the last installed version to stay.
What configuration needs to be done so that silent installation removes older JREs when the new JRE is installed? Is it a command switch or something that needs to be edited in a config file?
I'm finding questions about this in searches with no solutions provided.

Hello,
Did searches like you, but seems like there is no 'nice' workaround for this .. So i did put in a uninstall using wmic in my install script.
Here is a sample of my script.
@echo off
wmic product where name="Java 7 Update 51" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Java 7 Update 55" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Java 7 Update 67" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Java 7 Update 71" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Java 8 Update 25" call uninstall /nointeractive
\\path-to-install-dir\jre-8u31-windows-i586.exe INSTALL_SILENT=Enable AUTO_UPDATE=Disable WEB_JAVA=Enable WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H EULA=Disable REBOOT=Disable /L C:\temp\JavaDeployLog.txt
wmic product names have been found using "wmic product get name" and the install parameters from Oracle support: Installing With a Configuration File
Offcourse, when new versions will be releases, they have to be added manually to the top of this script, and then perhaps remove some of the older entries also, as this script takes around 5 minutes to execute at this moment for me.
I'm installing this using GPO, so i added my .bat file to a GPO as a logon script.
I know this isn't a pretty workaround, but it is a workaround....

Can't get motion Tween to work - just upgraded from a previous version to CS4

I am attempting to create a motion tween between two keyframes. The image is the same...the first keyframe has the image set to an alpha of 0 and the second keyframe some 20 frames down the timeline is set to an alpha of 100%. The keyframes are on the same layer. The image has been transformed to a symbol. Yet when I double click between the two keyframes and create the motion tween so the image will fade from 0 to full view at 100% nothing happens. I don't see the familiar arrow that normally indicates a motion tween between the two keyframes. I've created this transformation a thousand times before but don't understand what is different in CS4 that isn't creating the tween. When I double click on a frame in between the two keyframes it indicates I can remove motion tween so, it makes me believe the motion tweening has been set but, it isn't.
I am quite frustrated and don't understand if I haven't set something in the preferences so the tweening will work or just what is going on.
Help!

And here's the article that was written specifically to update your skills with all the changes between the earlier tweening and new tweens in CS4:

How can I use Acrobat Pro XI upgrade when I have a previous version on a different computer?

I just bought an upgreade of Acrobat Pro XI and installed it on my laptop. I own Pro X on my desktop but when I try to open XI it asks for a serial number of a for a previous version on the laptop. The previous version is on a desktop. What can I do?
Thanks.
Garrett65

You just need to enter the Serial number of the Acrobat X to authenticate the upgrade.
There is no need to actually have the previous version installed on the computer.
