How can I get a copy of FCPX to run on OS 10.7.5. I don't have the ability to update the OS.

I have a lab of twenty five 27" iMacs with i3 processors and OS 10.7.5.. Each has 12 gb ram. I'm in a large public school district that maintains tight control over our networks and each individual computer. Many of my students ask what type of editing program to get when they are able to get their own machines at home. In my lab we are running Adobe Premier CS6 suite. It works great to train the students… but I'd like to purchase one copy of FCPX to install on one machine so they can push some projects through that to see the difference. We are going to upgrade in December to 10.8, but that's it for the forseeable future. It shows I need 10.9 as minimum system requirements. I don't want to purchase a dead package if it's not going to work. I'll just recommend students go with Adobe… but I'd really like to offer them alternatives. (I've been using Apple computers since 1982 and got my first Mac in 1986 - I believe in Apple)
Can I get FCPX to work on 10.7.5 (without partitioning the drive, etc., as I don't have control over that)?

As noted, there is no way on 10,7. But assuming Apple doesn't change things, once you install 10.8 you should be able to download FCP 10.0.9. That is outlined in this doc

  • How can I get a copy of mountain lion for my mac book pro on which I already have mountain lion 10.8.2 installed

    I have a MacBookPro which came installed with Mountain  Lion10.8.2.
    My Mac Book pro does not boot, not even in safe mode. It boots in Recovery Mode, and I tried to reinstall it and it says downloading and it shows that it will take 258 hours. I cannot wait 258 hours, is there any other way
    2. My brother got me this Mac between December 2012 - January 2013 from Australia, I live in  India, How do I find out if I am in warranty. Can I call any number. I have an Apple ID with me which I just created and I have the serial number with me but I do not know the exact date of purchase.
    Where can I download or purchase a copy of Mountain Lion? is there any other site other than Apple?
    How good is Maverick, Can I upgrade from Mountain Lion 10.8.2 to Mavericks. The local service center did not bother to verify the warranty and told me to pay 2000 rupees. I thought the warranty to be worldwide, apparently not, any suggestions.
    If I have no warranty I would still want a DVD of Mountain Lion since I can do the install myself and do not need to pay 2000 for installation. There is no data to backup. I would really appreciate any help here.
    Regards

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I set a permanent default language for Firefox's spellcheck feature, so that I don't have to keep manually selecting the spellcheck language I want?

    I have a few languages installed, and Firefox's spellcheck seems to decide which language to use ''at random''. So I have to keep manually selecting the language I want. 99% of the time I want English. So how can I set English as a permanent default language, and leave the manual selection for those infrequent occasions when I want another language spellchecked?

    Firefox should store the last used dictionary in the spellchecker.dictionary pref that you can check on the about:config page.

    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

    I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
    P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

    If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
    To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.

    Hello to all
    another option is to download and install the portable firefox version from the next link, if you want to use it occasionally : http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./
    portable version is more flexible, and you can delete it any time without worries

    am in tanzania.
    Am in need of a copy of DVDdrive for a macbook pro OS. how can i get a copy, please any one to help

    If you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
    Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
    If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
    For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen.

  • How can i get a copy of my ipone messages with the number, date and time stamp?

    How can I get a copy of my iphone messages with the number it was sent from and the date and time stamp?  Needed for court purposes.

    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

    You should probably consult your attorney to see if either of these will be acceptable.

    How can I get a copy of iWeb or a web building software like Iweb

    You can look on eBay, amazon.com, or Google search for the iLife boxed set that contains iWeb. If you just want any web building tool you can take a look at Sandvox 2.5.6, RapidWeaver 5.2.2, Freeway Pro, Coda, Freeway Express, or KompoZer as a starting set.

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 5. How can I get a copy of Firefox 4. The new version does not work with Skype's auto dialer.

    How can I get a copy of the previous version of Firefox? The latest version (5) does not support Skype's auto dialer. I use this tool to be more productive.

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.
    If Firefox disabled some add-ons (especially extensions), it likely is because they include a list of compatible Firefox versions and haven't yet been updated for Firefox 5. If they worked on Firefox 4, there is a good chance they will work on Firefox 5.
    You can force Firefox to ''ignore'' add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter :: Add-ons for Firefox]
    After you install this add-on and restart Firefox, there will still be a message that "--- is incompatible with Firefox 5.0" but the add-on will be enabled and a Disable button will appear for that entry.
    Please report back on your results.
