Fcp7 will not load on to my new macbook pro with mavericks

I am trying to move Final Cut Studio from my old macbook pro to my 17" macbook pro i7.  It prompts me to add the serial number and then it says that the serial number is invalid.  Is there a problem this program and the Mavericks OS?

How are you trying to install FCP? You can't just copy it, Pro Apps need to be installed to work.
When you got your original computer with the pre-installed FCP-7 weren't there discs included?
You would be best served to install from them.
Also, if you are running FCP-X there are specific installation guidelines to have both FCP-7 and FCP-X installed on the same computer:
See this document:
Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4: Installation best practices - Apple Support
about half way down the page.

Also: If you are doing a clean install of FCP-7, then you should use

  • When will Firefox have support for the new MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    The new MacBook Pro with Retina Display has a 2880x1800 resolution and is not going to work well with the current version of Firefox. I am running Firefox 14 Beta; is there any news on when you will update Firefox to be compatible with new display?

    This no longer works on Nightly build 2012-08-14 :(

  • New macbook pro with mavericks but time machine back up with Mountain Lion

    Due to an incident with a cup of coffee my 2009 Macbook pro was unexpectedly destroyed.  However I now have (thanks to Insurance) a new Macbook Pro which runs Maverick.  I have a back up of my Mac from Time machine however my latest back up was using Mountain Lion, am I going to be able to re-install this back up onto my new computer?  If not how can I get my data out of Time Machine onto my new mac?

    You need to erase and format the new HD as OS X Extended (journaled), restore the TM backup onto it, and then reinstall Lion to put on the Recovery HD. Best is to do all of that in an ext HD enclosure, ensure that it boots the MBP, and then put it into the MBP. Once that's done and, if the MBP supports it, upgrade to Mtn Lion, which is what Lion should have been when it shipped.

  • Startup disk almost full for brand new Macbook Pro with Mavericks

    I recently purchased a brand new Macbook Pro Retina that runs on Mavericks.  I keep getting a message saying that my start up disk is almost full, even though I have almost no files on the hard drive other than whatever was pre-installed by Apple. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

  • New MacBook Pro with Mavericks- reformat or not?

    Hi folks,
    Background:  I had a lovely MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard which died on me and so I replaced it last week with this equally lovely late 2013 Retina 15" 2.3GHz i7 MacBook Pro which, obviously, came with Mavericks.
    But since I was under pressure to get work out I actually set myself up on this Mac, using Mavericks, thinking to just drag some of my files from the old MacBook Pro's hard drive (already in a caddy) to "stock up" my new computer with files I needed when I discovered the Migration Assistant and, perhaps, ill-advisedly just migrated the lot.
    I have used it fine with only three applications of, quite literally, a hundred or so lost to me and two glitches probably due to "confused" preferences, but I know that having done it this way is not ideal.  I have the original Mavericks based User (hidden of course) and the migrated one.
    Snow Leopard versus Mavericks:  I very much like Snow Leopard and I don't actually dislike Mavericks as much as I thought I might.  But if I were to have to choose one OS over the other the one which would save me money would possibly win.
    My problem with Mavericks is two-fold:  1. I have Photoshop CS (yes, OLD.  But I cannot justify buying upgrades and it works well for what I use it for) and cannot now run it, and 2.  I MUST be able to run Final Cut Pro (6 but I recently bought 7 finally) on it reliably (and I have never had crashes under Snow Leopard, never EVER, but had already one in just one week with Mavericks, possibly due to the way the application arrived on the machine I realise).
    My only problem with Snow Leopard is that it is not as cool as Mavericks but for a video editor that is not the be all and end all of it... 
    What I would like help with is:
    1.  Could I even have this new Mac run well enough with ancient Snow Leopard (so that I can rescue Photoshop CS)?
    2.  If absolutely, categorically now- how do I start over?  I mean- uninstall the migrated User and take the machine to factory settings?  IS it as simple as reformatting (I ask the "silly" question due to the fact that I have not yet worked with a computer which doesn't have install disks) and then reinstalling the software (yes- I have an external hard drive now)?
    3.  How to effectively "pick the bones" of the old hard drive (I still have the hard drive in the caddy I can take files from-  it has become a sort of "time capsule" of my old MacBook Pro) so that I don't mess up Mavericks but still get things like my old email, iPhotos and some installed applications which I am not sure I can find the download links for (even though I have my purchased serial numbers they are often not associated with the download website and with so many I am concerned that I might lose some).
    Thank you so much for reading.

    CS3 and newer will run, CS2 or older will not.
    You can not run Snow Leopard on your machine (unless you run the Server version in a virtual machine)
    Erase your Mac, use Setup Assistant and do the migration correctly, start with an empty Mac (like a new one is)
    As for FCP, there are mixed reports, some say it will not install but once installed (?) will run OK, you can but try.

  • MacBook Pro died, can I restore back up from previous OS to New Macbook Pro with Mavericks on it?

    My son's (grad student) MacBook Pro's logic board went out two weeks ago. We have a new one coming tommorrow, which has Mavericks.
    His back up from the older computer has the previous operating system - is he going to run into any problems restoring his data with the different operating systems?

    You shouldn't. That's the reason for having a backup.
    The best way is to use Setup Assistant when you get the new Mac. For details read this from the late Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini:

  • Trying to use CS5 on my new MacBook Pro with Maverick -

    It's not going well so far.....too many problems.
    Can't save preferences because I don't have permission?
    What does this mean?
    I need to save preferences.
    I need all aspects of Photoshop to work correctly.

    This is vague in my opinion.
    1- I don't know how to "fix" permissions.
    2- I don't know where to find "permissions "
    3- This does seem like an installation problem, because I never had this problem until I tried to transfer PS to my new computer.
    4- This forum isn't enough help.....why doesn't Adobe support Photoshop???????? It's crazy they support Photoshop. I need to work.
    Is it really going to take 5 days to fix every little problem I have with Photoshop? There are many.
    This is unprofessional.
    I would like to SPEAK to somebody who can help me with Adobe Photoshop.....I want to iron out all the issues in one phone call and get back to work.
    Can we arrange this?
    Thank You.

  • Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

    Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

    Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks.  If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?!  I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped.  Have any clue what I should do now?

  • Loading CS5 Master Collection onto new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive

    I have a complete, legitimate, registered version of CS5 Master Collection. I also have a new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive. I have lost the disk, but have the box and confirmation email when I registered the product, with the key code. This product cost alot of money and I really need to get it onto my new machine. Can I do this without having the additional cost of a new DVD drive? I already paid for and own the software with keys so it's not like I'm trying to bend anything or do it for free. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.

    Download the CS5 Master Collection trial version from
    http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    You must follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links will not work.

  • HT2499 I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

    I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
    If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
    Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):
