FINAL CUT EXPRESS UPGRADE SERIAL NUMBER PROBLEMS

they ask me to type in my "original serial number" i do, cuz i just got the upgrade...but when i type in the number it says that the "serial number upgrade" so what's the original, how do i get, i only have the upgrade, did they give me the wrong CD? or what? answers pleeeasse

I have FCE 2 bought from B&H PhotoVideo in New York City. I tried to register the program at the Apple net pages. First there was a problem in getting the Apple registration page to accept my manufacturer product number (the other number, not the serial number). Well, finally the number was accepted, but I never got any confirmation email from Apple - I suspect my product was not registered. So I suppose I cannot upgrade to FCE 3.5 . A bit strange. Do these big photo stores sell some kind of grey market Apple programs (in the same way they import camera lenses directly from Asia, lenses which don´t have the same guarantee, in spite of being made by the same manufacturer)? Are there this kind of Apple products as well?

Final Cut Express HD serial number

I had to reinstall Leopard today. I use Time Machine and the restore was effortless, great. Only problem now is I tried to launch Final Cut Express HD and it asked for a serial number. I pulled out the card with the sticker on it, entered the number, and it said it was not correct. I did it so carefully, after that, and same thing. I have done it four or five times with the same result. The serial has on O in it, and I tried it as a O and an 0, still no luck.

I upgraded to final cut 4 HD and after a migration from time machine it requires the Serial # which i have. But due to it being an upgrade, it is requesting my previous version serial which i no longer have, or at least i cannot find.
Is there any options for me at this point? Will apple have my previous serial and look it up for me?

Final Cut Express HD - serial number in program

A friend of mine has Final Cut Express HD and hasn't updated their software in a while. They're looking to upgrade to 10.6 [they are running 10.4.11] and they don't want to lose their ability to use this. They've lost their code for the program. Is there a place in the program that shows the serial number? Thanks.

I need a another final cut express 4 serial number

I recently bought a mac mini and I wanted to transfer final cut express 4 from my macbook pro.
Is there any way I can buy another serial number without having to purchase the software again? I already have it on a disk.

I'm pretty sure you need to buy another copy then, but call them or try...

Installation skips Final Cut Express upgrade; installs only Soundtrack/LivT

Maybe I'm missing something. I've tried installing FCE HD 3.5 upgrade over the previous version, and then tried uninstalling Final Cut Express 3.1 completely and installing Final Cut Express 3.5 alone, but I can't seem to install it. Even after running disk utility and making sure that I was logged in as Administrator, correctly entering License, then Selecting Destination, the installation type still only lists the SoundTrack package (4.GB) and LiveType (9.7GB) as viable installations. And both installed fine. The Final Cut Express HD package (18.6MB) is grayed out and unavailable.
What's going on? I believe my iMac G4 fits the minimum system requirements. Any suggestions?
iMac (15 flat-panel) Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1GB, 800mhz, 66GB on hard drive available for installation
iMac (15 flat-panel) Mac OS X (10.3)

I installed the FCE 3.5 upgrade without unistalling any thing of the 3.0.1 version I had (actually I wasn't sure that was the right approach, and the enclosed booklet wasn't really clear about).
Installation was straightforward; the installation type listed all three programs (FCE, Soundtrack, LiveType) with the "Upgrade" label, and I had to input only the upgrade reg.number.
Probably you should try again a clean reinstall of the 3.0.1 version first and then upgrade.

Final Cut express upgrade for intel macbook pro

I need help i used to have a G5 desktop and got DVD Studio Pro 3 and then i got Final Cut pro 4 with Upgrade, i try to install this software to the intel Macbook Pro wich i have 2 gig of memory, but if I install DVD Studio Pro 3 and Final Cut pro 4 it will run too slow and there is also the error pf agp graphic card missing i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster i need help on which is the best upgrade for the intel mac so i don't have to purchase the software again i saw on www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade there are some option i call apple and they told me to buy the Final Cut Pro 4 or HD (4.5)for $199.00 but i want to make sure this is what i need to do! help

Yes you need to crossgrade to 5.1
The offer only lasts until the end of December and after that it'll probably go back up to $699.
Also I wanted to point out that you're in the Final Cut Express forum asking about Final Cut Pro. Not a huge deal but in the future you might get better results asking Final Cut Pro related questions in the Final Cut Pro forum.
i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster
Your HP runs Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro faster?!? Huh...Bwa?!?
By this I assume you mean your HP runs comparative programs faster (Avid)

Final cut express 2 browser display problems

Have just acquired Final Cut Express 2, as I want to edit on an old G4, so I can use my old Apple Cinema display monitor.
In the Browser window, all the text in the window is blurred, it just displays as black blocks, rather than letters. None of the text on any other window, or the text on the Browser tabs, is affected. So I can't read the names of clips, or any of the effects.
Using a Dual 867 Power PC G4, GeForce4 MX AGP graphics, OSX 10.5
Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks so much, that solved the problem! I would never have thought of looking under the system preferences menu, since it was only the Browser window which was affected. In OS 10.5, you need to chose a minimum font size to deactivate smoothing for. I switched it off for all fonts of 12 or less, and text now displays properly in all windows.

Final Cut Express file format - audio problem

I have some .mov files created from a screen capture session that I need to edit in Final Cut Express.
They were saved in .H264 format and I need to convert them to one of FCE's native formate. I THOUGHT I could do this by exporting in the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC formal in Quicktime Pro (7). However, I do not have an AIFF option in the audio. So, when importing into FCE, I can see the video in my timeline, but the audio needs to rendered. Is there a way I can get the video with the native audio format?
Thanks,
DR

Well, that took care of the sound problem. However, the video is not right. It is displaying at a very slow frame rate, and does not keep up with the audio.
My workaround so far is to convert it to dv musing MPEG Streamclip. Switching to "re-sample at 48000 hz" is not working, but once I import it into FCE, I can render the audio and cut using that.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

Final Cut upgrade serial number problems

A few years ago I upgraded Final cut Pro 4 to the first Final Cut Studio release, which included Final Cut Pro 5. I just recently had to wipe my hard drive and start over, but now I can't seem to install Final Cut Studio. It's asking for the serial number, and I'm using the serial number from Final Cut Pro 4, but it's not working.
My question: am I missing a serial number? I was under the impression that Final Cut upgrades use the serial number from the original full version you are upgrading from.

You can try contacting Apple, since that's an answer we cannot provide here.

Final Cut asks for Serial Number every time I open it.

A couple months ago I upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 on my iMac. Since then, every time I open up any applications I get prompted to type in my serial number. I've resulted to keeping my serial number on my desktop for easy access, but it's still really annoying. Any ideas?

This is just a thought...I don't know the answer from experience. Perhaps your user account doesn't have privileges to write the file to wherever FCS wants to store the Serial #. Once it's written on your computer, it's should work from any user account.
Does the user account you're entering the serial number from have administrative privileges? If not, then try logging into your administrator account (or temporarily give your user account the privileges) and enter the serial number there.

Final Cut Studio 2 serial number is not accepted for downloading updates

Hi,
because of problems with AVCHD 720p50 import in FCP I wanted to upgrade from version 6.0.1 to 6.0.6.
First wired thing: Why is the software update not showing any updates for FCP?
There are 5!!! upgrades available, but I had to get a hint on the forum to even KNOW about it. There is no information about that easily findable on the FCP/FCS page, nor does the software update show any option.
Second - the problem:
I found the download page (using Google!) and downloaded FCP update 6.0.6...
...but I need 6.0.5 first.
Ok, Google again, found the page and have to type in may SN again. _*BUT this time the site won't accept it.*_ I tried it several times, double/tripple checked the SN, but ist keeps telling me that I'm using an invalid serial number.
It is really annoing at this point - does anybody know how I will get past this SN-input with my fully working FCS2 full version serial number?
Thanks

And I really think Apple should install one userfriendly update centre where every user can easily see and download updates to all Apple software (not just the latest version that is heavily promoted).
They already do. Under the Apple icon at the top left of your screen "Software Update".
I maintain a lot of clients FCP systems as part of my services. It doesn't matter if they are running FCP 3 or the latest FCS version, it all comes in, in the correct order. 100% every time.
Of course, if you move the apps into places where Software Update doesn't expect to find them, then you will get unpredictable results.
Here's why; When you install Apple software via the Installer app, it expects stuff to be in a certain location, based on the .pkg files in the directory at: Library/Receipts. If you move, rename or otherwise tamper with the files or their contents, it all goes pear shaped and you end up in the situation that you are currently experiencing.

Final Cut Pro 3 serial number issue

Hi there,
I have a copy of Final Cut Pro 3 that has been sitting redundant for about two years. When I first got it (around 2002 i think) i registered it etc...
I would like to reinstall it on my mac now but I have lost all the packaging, incl serial number, registration details etc...
Is there somewhere at Apple I can contact to retrieve my serial number and registration details?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer,
Ewan.

The only possibility that I'm aware of would be to contact Apple and provide reliable proof of purchase. Otherwise I'd say you're hosed.
Your software serial numbers are much more important to keep up with than the discs themselves. It's a good idea to record them in a database, backed-up to an off-site server or stored in a safe deposit box.
Since you still have the install discs, you might consider doing the crossgrade while Apple's offer is still in effect: http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade

Final Cut Pro 7 Serial Number does not work

After the latest Apple Update my FCP program puts up a requestor box wanting the serial number. When I put the number in the box says Incorrect. I've tried everything like changing 0 to O to copy and pasting and keying in. Nothing works. What did Apple do in the last update to screw up FCP?

We have see a few related posts, try searching for serial number.
I assue you, nothing was perpetrated by Apple during the recent ProApp updates. You can usually download them as a stand alone installer instead of getting them as an automatic script.

HT1338 lost final cut pro 7 serial number

My FCP 7 keeps on asking me about my serial number. I've thrown that box a long time ago.
How can I retrieve the serial number?
Also, I don't want to move on to FCP x. Such a horrible interface and system.
I want my FCP 7 back please.
Is there a place where I can download it again.
There doesn't seem to be a download software or software available in the market anymore for FCP 7.

There is no way you can yourself recover the license key if you've lost it (and it would have been on the disk sleeve or a separate piece of paper, not on the box). FCP 7 isn't downloadable and even if it was it wouldn't come with the license key. If you can't find the paper with the key, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask them if there's any way they can generate a new key for you. At this point I would be surprised if they can, but you can ask and hope.
Good luck.
