Help - which FCP can I use with my Mac processor (2 x 2.5Ghz) G5?

I am so utterly confused by this G5. My daughter suggested I buy one as she is a graphic designer and highly recommended a Mac. However, I couldn't afford a new machine, so found a Mac processor G5. It looks like a decent machine, but the bewildering OS versions, specifications and expensive software has me baffled.
I wanted to buy Final Cut Pro to edit video footage but as soon as I started looking, I found that almost every site said that whatever version of FCP I looked at, it would not run on my G5. I bought OS 10.4 Tiger as that seems to be the last OS that can be used on the machine. The spec is: OS 10.4 Tiger (all up to date), 2 x 2.5Ghz Mac (PPC) processors, plus as much RAM as could be crammed into it.
Out of desperation (and a frustrating experience with Adobe Premiere Elements 7) I bought Premiere Elements 9 as it had a PC and Mac licence in the same package. Guess what - I was told the software would be excellent on my G5 but as usual, the advice was incorrect; Premiere Elements 9 will only run on an Intel-equipped Mac. It is fine on my PC though.
Can anyone help? Please be a person who owns or has owned a PPC G5 and preferably with FCP loaded. Or someone who knows the real thing to do - I cannot afford any more duff info.

The last and latest version of final cut to run on PPC (AND intel by the way) was FCP 5.1, which shipped as part of Final Cut Studio1. Good luck trying to find a copy-- This was the universal cross grade that you got by sending your disks to Apple.

    The popup message always warns to do a backup first since there is the potential of lost data if the upgrade fails.
    Sadly, your only option at this point is to restore and hope there is a backup stored from a previous sync.

  • Can I have two versions of firefox - latest and the older 3.6, which I can only use with Blackboard?

    My 8 new Firefox is fine. But I am using the Blackboard online LMS, which has not yet been upgraded for the newer Firefox. I was told Blackboard works fine with the 3.6 firefox. Hence I want to know if I can have both versions of firefox at once on my Windows 7 laptop PC. Or can I only have one version at a time.

    Yes - you can either use a portable version of Firefox 3.6 or you can run two profiles. If you search on how to run 2 profiles there are instructions out there.

  • What type of monitors can I use with the Mac Mini?

    Hello,
    I was thinking on purchasing a Mac Mini. I was not sure if the monitor I have at work with function with the Mac Mini. It is a: 20" ViewSonic Professional Series P815...
    Does anyone know if this monitor will work with any Mac Mini? Is there an adapter for it?
    Thanks.

    It would be fine for them all - all minis have come with DVI video connectors and adapters to convert that to VGA, so aside from the possibility that the Viewsonic might suffer the greyish or dull screen problem that affected a small(ish) proportion of displays with the first generation mini, it should connect up using the adapter just fine, and be correctly recognized by the system.

  • Which phone can I use with my car-kit?

    Hi all, I've bought a 2nd-hand car which I've had for over a year, and it's now time to upgrade the phone. I currently have a Nokia 6230i, and after trawling this forum and reading the following post
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=accessories&message.id=460&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
    I appear to be in a very similar situation. I too have pulled my dashboard apart, and have a list of installed components.
    MBC-15S cradle
    AXF-15S external antenna
    HFU-4 Black box
    What I'd like is a list of phones that are compatable with the HFU-4. I understand that I'll probably have to replace the cradle too, but would like a cradle that works in a similar fashion - ie. it also charges the phone. If the list of compatible phones is small then I'd be willing to look at another 'black box' providing I can change it over myself (ie. just unplug the 3 connecters and plug into new black box).
    So, my questions are.
    1. What phones are compatible with the HFU-4
    2. What cradle would I need to purchase for the above phones
    3. Is the AXF-15S compatible with the above cradles?
    4. What other 'black boxes' are available, for which phones, and can I buy these (the black boxes) easily as an end-user?
    Incidentally I also have a problem in that the radio does not mute when a call is recieved - it did when I first bought the car, but after having an auto-electrician look at it, it no longer does, any ideas why it's not working? What wires from the black box should go to the stereo?
    One thing I forgot to add - The DC connector has 4 wires, black, red, blue, and yellow. Black and red are obviously connected, but the blue and yellow come out of the connecter and are terminated? No idea why, or if they should be connected to something, or even if it is at all relevant to this question? Sorry!
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks Danny,
    Hopefully someone from Nokia will answer to tell me which phones are compatible...not many of the new ones I suspect, but if I have to change the whole kit over then I'll probably not bother upgrading the phone. I'm understandably a bit wary of auto-electricians after the last one butchered the existing system (and he was recommended by a main-dealer). For no apparent reason he cut the external antenna wire and obviously the radio mute wire too, when all I asked him to do was to remove the cradle-he even lost the bolts for that! As I'm ok with wiring I'll do the next install myself I think!
    I'm disappointed that Nokia have not provided an upgrade path-I thought the whole point of the pop-port was that you could just get a new cradle to fit your new phone. Obviously not! Over to you Nokia.

  • My itunes comes up with this when i try to download purchased songs: this devise is already associated with an apple id. this devise can be used with another apple id in 82 days. i need help to see if i can fix this problem please.

    i have an iphone 4s i signed out of my itunes on the devise and my friend signed herself into ituned but i signed her out an myself back in but my purchased songs and tones cannot download. it gives me a message of:this device is already associated with an apple id. this device can be used with another apple id in 82 days! is there anyway for me to fix this or override something. im freaking out!!

    Sorry: once a device has been authorised for a particular iTunes account you can't change it to another until 90 days have passed. This is to prevent people cirumventing the restrictions of purchases to one account from consteantly swopping between accounts. You will have to wait for the 82 remaining days, and there is no workaround.

  • In which trigger can i use go_item() in oracle forms 6i?

    Hi,
        I have a problem with go_item.
    I tried executing go_item() in triggers like key_next_item, pre_text_item, post_text_item & when_validate_item.
    But none of them seemed to be working.
    I searched for other possibilities in the site, where i found a solution of using trigger ' when_timer_expired ' with ' when_validate_item ' ,
    but when i tried to create trigger, i did not find that trigger (when_timer_expired)  in the list at all.
    I'm using oracle form builder 6i.
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production.
    A trigger with go_item() must be created when tab is pressed.
    In which trigger can i use go_item() ??
    Thank You.

    Restricted Built-in Subprograms
    Restricted Built-ins affect navigation in your form, either external screen navigation, or internal navigation. You can call these Built-ins only from triggers while no internal navigation is occurring.
    Restricted Built-ins cannot be called from the Pre and Post triggers, which fire when Oracle Forms is navigating from object to another.
    Restricted Built-ins can be called from the When triggers that are specific to interface items, such as When-Button-Pressed or When-Checkbox-Changed. Restricted Built-ins can also be called from any of the When-New-"object"-Instance triggers and from key triggers.
    Unrestricted Built-ins do not affect logical or physical navigation and can be called from any trigger.
    The Built-in descriptions include a heading, Built-In Type, that indicates if the Built-in is restricted or unrestricted.

  • I saw that the APPLE TV product can be used with VIMEO videos.  can i still access VIMEO videos to my TV with a reg PC or do i have to have an APPLE?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

    Are you using ADE to read bought books, library books, or only free books?
    If only free books, I suggest you install the superior free Calibre instead (http://calibre-ebook.com/)
    For bought or library books you do need to install ADE on the new machine.
    You will also need to register it with your Adobe ID; the same one you used on the last machine.
    If you can't remember that ID or the password, ask, and we may be able to help.
    I will give instructions for the latest version of ADE (2.0.1), even though I am afraid it has more problems than the old one it is more 'standard'.
    Goto http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/digital-editions/download.html
    Click on the 'Download Digital Edition 2.0.1 Windows (5.6 MB)'  (you can go direct to http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_2.0_Installer.exe if you prefer)
    When it has downloaded you must open/run it.  If you are using Internet Explorer, choose the Run option when you start the download.
    It should now go through a fairly standard install procedure, asking if it is ok to run the program, etc etc
    Take the easy 'yes' or equivalent option at each step.
    When it is safely installed, run it.  It should have put an icon on the desktop.
    You now need to authorize ADE. 
    Use ctrl-shift-U which will open up a dialog asking for your Adobe ID and password.
    You should now be able to use it pretty much as you used ADE on your old machine.
    Good luck.  Unfortunately not a very easy process even when all works well, and there are several things that can go wrong.
    Don't hesitate to ask again if you need help.
