How to install from FCP 1 via upgrades to FCP 3 on new G4

I finally bought a new Powerbook G4 to replace my G3 350. (It really is it quite a bit better... Amazing how things have come along in six years...)
Anyway, I started with FCP when it first came out with version 1 and bought upgrades for 2 and 3 which I used on my G3.
How do I get version 3 onto my G4 ? Version 1 will not install in "classic" mode on the G4 and therfore I can not install and use the upgrade discs to get to version 3 on my G4. I tried dragging the whole version 3 applicaion over from my old computer and put the preferences into the OS9 preferences folder with no luck.
Is it actually possible to get FCP onto this computer with the discs I have (original version1, upgrade 2, upgrade 3) ?

Contact Apple to get a new installer CD for FCP 3.
One of my friends had this problem, and he received a new CD.
(I'm not sure if Apple still does this kind of upgrades, but you can try)

I recommend that you upgrade FCP 4 or 5 then you only have to enter the old s/n during the installation.

how to recover from a bad upgrade, due to a blackout. stuck in the recovery itunes screen on the iphone

Bjpolinda,
Do you have a recent iCloud or iTunes backup? If so, just plug your phone into iTunes, restore the phone and bring your backup back by following the prompts on the phone.
If you didn't back up your phone before attempting to update, you may have lost all your photos and other data on your phone. If you restore the phone through iTunes, it will most definitely wipe your phone of all data and reset it to factory settings.

well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

I installed CS3 Design premium upgrade yesterday onto my new mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. You gave me a new serial number. I have been able to open Photoshop, Bridge, Dreamweaver and Flash. The Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat applications are not in my applications folder although there are folders in there with those names containing associated items. How can this have happened and what can I do?

Janetc72338130 what happens if you try to reinstall Illustrator CS3, InDesign CS3, and Acrobat? What version of Acrobat are you installing?

How to install downloaded free master templates in FCP 7?

I have downloaded some free "master templates to create lower thirds in FCP 7. I can open them one by one in FCP, but I can't install them into any specific folders of my MacBook OS (so that they can be accessed directly from FCP 7 browser or short cuts). I could not find - Library - Application Support - Final Cut Studio - Motion - Templates. Could any one tell me how to install them?

What do you mean previewed, do you mean the small preview window in Final Cut’s Master Templates browser or the rendering on the timeline itself?
If it is the rendering the following link contains a short tutorial on a few things you may do to speed up renders in motion: http://motion-master-templates.com/free-templates/reflective-flooring-template
It is the second video from the top. Let me know if this helps.
Have a wonderful day

How to install from a Solaris 8 install .iso?

I want to try to install Solaris 8 in an LDOM. I know that it is "not supported" - but it may be possible, according to some discussions I have had, so I want to try.
Unfortunately, when I try the naive approach and add the iso image of the CD as a virtual disk to the domain and try to boot from it, it tells me the file isn't executable. The explanation, it seems, is that the CD actually contains several slices, and only the first one is visible when you look at it as an iso file. So, I guess my question is: Is it actually possible to get to a point where I can try to install from this CD image into an LDOM?

Well, if it was supported you would be able to ;)
The thing with the SPARC installation CD's is that they are indeed sliced, i think the reason for it to be sliced is that different slices supports different CPU architectures, so that slice 2 (or slice :b when you boot it from an OK prompt) was originally, long time ago, used for the sun4c CPU's, slice 3 (or :c) was used for sun4m and slice 4 (:d) was used for sun4d.
Then came sun4u which used slice 5/:e
Then slice 0 would contain a HSFS filesystem which actually contained the packages and the installation program.
You can get the vtoc with dd, and then extract the slices you want with dd and access them using LOFS. But yet again this is probably futile. I don't think there is a single chip in the T4 hardware which is supported with Solaris 8.
Given how powerful the T4 seems, and how ineffective Solaris 8 could sometimes be at utilizing resources, it would also seem like a waste..
Have you had a look at native zones? that way you can run Solaris 8 / 9 in zones under Solaris 10..

Software update for A2109A - how to install from external sd?

I bought my wife and son an A2109A tablet each just a few days ago. I immediately did an ota update. When I checked if there any further updates it said the tablet had the latest software from 297 days ago.
I see everyone on forums talking about a jellybean release for this tablet so I had a look on Lenovo's site and sure enough, there is an update released on 20th Feb 2013 with the filename a2109_jb_gpl_rc1_227.tar.bz2. I downloaded this, put it on an ecternal sd card and booted into recovery mode. The tablet did a search for an update, found it but couldn't verify the update. I chose the "install from external storage" option, but it couldn't see the file. I renamed the file to "update.zip" and tried again but it aborted again both automatically and manual install.
What do I need to do to install this update?

You tried to install the kernel source on your tablet? You can't do that, What OS are you running? if you don't have jb, the system update should allow you to update.

How to install from DVD onto machine without DVD drive

My boss has a laptop without a DVD drive, and wants to install Tiger. Tiger comes on a DVD. What is the best way to complete this install?
If I put the DVD in my laptop, then mount it as an external drive will that give us access to the DVD within it?

You can copy Tiger to CD's (if you already have the Tiger DVD's) and do the install from CD's. Or if your boss has a firewire port on his laptop you can plug in a firewire DVD drive and run the installation from there. You will need to hold down the option key to select which drive to start off of.
If you haven't already purchased Tiger you could buy the CD version on eBay.

FCP 4 upgrade to FCP Studio 2?

I've got a lovely crumpled piece of paper here that I never filled out - an upgrade from FCP 4 to FCP Studio for a very reasonable rate - about $199 from memory.
Does this sort of upgrade still exist for Studio 2? Anybody? All I can find is the $700 package...

Your lovely crumpled paper expired in march.
The upgrade path from FCP4 to FCS2 is now $700.
Still, don't kick yourself too much as you didn't really lose any money by waiting.
If you had done the cross grade things would have worked out like this:
FCP4 to FCP 5.1 > $200
FCP 5.1 to FCS2 > $500
total > $700
have fun.

How to get printed manuals with upgrade to FCP from Motion?

I upgraded my standalone version of Motion to FCP 5.1 Universal through the mail and wondering how I can get the printed manuals. I realize it's not practical for Apple to mail 40 pounds of books and that the same text is probably on one of the DVDs but reading a physical book makes learning easier than reading on screen.
Has anyone been able to upgrade from Motion to FCP and get the printed books?
Thanks,

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

David,
Apple provides manuals with most of it's software. I KNOW THIS OCCURS FOR A FACT! Thanks for posting your doubts and other notes but I don't think they are really being crafted towards helping at this point.
I was actually hoping others might have found solutions rather than looking for salt to rub into the wound. But to help you and the others you have spoken with to understand possible solutions I'm hoping might remedy the problem here are a few that suggestions:
- Call Apple Customer Support and get them to exchange the misrepresented product through the mail for what was represented.
- Walking into the Apple store and confronting the sales people with the issue and getting them to exchange the product.
- Working through Consumer Affairs and getting them to eiother refund or exchange the product.
- Calling a local TV station to report the fact that Apple shows one product on their web site and in their stores while selling something different with a the same name that is incomplete.
- Working through the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint against Apple for the misrepresentation and getting them to replace the product for the abused customers.
- Emailing the support folks at Apple and getting a emailed voucher in return which will allow users to exchange the product int stores.
I can think of dozens of ways Apple or other organizations could help resolve the situation.
Printing a color manual at Kinko's seems like a ridiculous expense to me. I cannot afford it and I appreciate you not consistently saying it's a viable solution. I'm actually a bit surprised that you keep responding with no help, confusing unrelated comments, and insist on further irritating the situation.
I hope my multiple attempts to help you understand what my issue is and possible solutions that people might offer has helped clarified things for you. If you have any further comments though please reserve them so others who may have had actual experiences similar to mine with possible solutions might be able to read this thread without having to see me explaining things over and over.
Thanks,
DAN
