If I upgrade to FCP Studio, will I still have 4.5 available?

I'm at a point where I think upgrading to FCP 5 will benefit me time-wise as I do a lot of multicamera work. I also want to dive into Motion.
I'm wondering if I perform the upgrade, will FCP 4.5 still live as an application on my Mac? I vaguely remember when I upgraded from FCP 3 to FCP 4, FCP 3 was still there and I could access and use it.
The only reason I would want to go back is that I sub to post-house that has not made the move to 5 yet. I'd like to be able to work in 4.5 when ever I do their projects.
I might not be thinking everything through- such as the QT version being different, or the interaction with 10.4?

If you do the standard upgrade, v5 will overwrite v4.5
If your current system disk is running 10.3.x, a recommended proceedure is to create a new partition, install 10.4 + FCP5 (both of which are QT7 dependent) on that partition and leave FCP4.5 and 10.3.x on the original system partition. This gives you the best of both worlds.
cheers,

If I upgrade to Lion now will I still have to pay for Mountain Lion?

And if so - does it matter - as it may be a pre-requisit for upgrading in the summer?
I currently have snow leopard, but having recently added an iPad to the family - Lion appears to be a better fit.

Well, its gonna be priced seperately regardless to lion, but if you buy a new mac or macbook pro before a month of its release, you may be entilled for an upgrade for free. This is what apple did last year with new mac owners, otherwise we've to pay or mountain lion.

Upgrading to FCP studio 3 from 2.0

If i upgrade to FCP studio 3.0 for $300 do I need all my serial numbers or just the main one for FCP for all components such as motion and dvd studio to work?
Thanks!

When you insert the FCS 3 installer disc it will ask for the serial number. Enter the # that came with it.
It will then prompt: "You have entered an upgrade serial number. Please enter the original serial number. That's where you put in the serial # from the old full retail version.
That's all. If you got it right, the installer will proceed to the next step.

Upgrade to FCP Studio 2 nonsense...

Ok, so the engineers and IT people here at work are trying to upgrade everyone to FCP Studio 2. They have this brilliant plan for doing so. Check this out:
So they installed everything on a single edit bay and added all the correct plugins and codecs and such for our new P2 HD cameras. Now, instead of doing that all over again for each of the 10 edit systems, they are going around taking each bay's system hard drive and formatting it, then cloning the drive from the first computer.
Ok, so no big deal really since they all have to work the same and all the systems in the news dept. were bought at the same time and are all exactly the same system.
Now the fun part. My system and my bosses weren't bought with the others and use different hardware. I use an AJA IO and my boss uses an AJA Kona LH. News dept. uses Kona LS.
So, the clone thing shouldn't work, right?
Yep, it didn't work and we're both losing time editting and such.
So, I offered to take all the installation dvd's and sit here at night and upgrade both systems so that we won't wipe the drives, lose settings and valuable info, plus, it should work because the Kona settings will still be there along with my AJA IO settings. The engineers and IT guy told me that won't work. They say it will still erase the whole harddrive because it's not an upgrade, they bought the full versions of both the new Mac OSX and FCP Studio 2.
Does this make sense? It doesn't to me and I think they're just being stubborn and stupid. All of this is being done to accommodate the new P2 HD cameras. These brilliant people didn't think about that fact that it's not compatible with the Avid I have to use half the time. So, I'm not even gonna talk about that.
Anyway, does all this make sense? Am I wrong here?
Help me please!
Make Bruce proud!

I'm going from past (likely dim) memory: You cannot install FCS2 from a network drive or from a clone unless you have a multiseat license. the installer is specifically created not to do that, even if you have all those serial numbers. They could have purchased a network installable MacOS and a network installable FCS2 but I'm fairly certain those are only available if you actually specify the product.

Well, try to get along with them anyway. It's far better to love you IT guys than to hate them. Take one of 'em out for lunch.
A scorched-earth total reformat is often recommended around here as the only viable installation procedure. I have never used this method for MacOS or for FCP installs; I just run the updates/upgrades. Try it on your system and see what happens.
You DO WANT to make a clone of your system drive BEFORE you upgrade or update the OS or the FCP apps, though. That's just common sense.

There is no guarantee that software will always perform as expected with any OS because of conflicts between different programs installed on the same drivce.

If I upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to firefox 4 Beta on my iMac, will I still have all the same bookmarks, or will I lose them?

You are using Mac OS 10.4. Firefox 4.0 is not compatible with this OS. It supports only Mac OS 10.5 and above. Please see this article: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html Firefox 4 system requirements].

If i upgrade to Acrobat Pro will I still retain my Formcentral original Account?

if i upgrade to Acrobat Pro will I still retain my Formcentral original Account?

Hi terrylew757,
Please see this thread: Is Forms Central part of the Creative Cloud subscription?
With Acrobat Pro, you get FormsCentral at the free level. If you want the additional functionality that the paid subscriptions offer, you'll want to keep your FormsCentral subscription.
Best,

My bank only uses 3.0 or 3.5 but it is no longer valid for firefox, will I still have some protection

my bank only uses FF 3.0 or 3.5 but it is no longer valid for firefox, will I still have some protection. When I upgraded the bank site failed to work and I even got a warning that it was not the right version for them.

You can use the free Pacifist and look inside the installer disks for your comptuer and transfer the Mail program back to your computer.
http://www.charlessoft.com/
You really need to update your operating system, likely some things have changed and the old Mail program might not work anymore correctly.
You can use the free MacTracker to find out what operating system your comptuer can handle, likely 10.5 if it's a PowerPC.

Will I Still Have a .Mac Address

I have not switch to iCloud yet, mainly because I currently do not wish to upgrade my Mac to Lion as I would lose the functionality of some software I use just about daily. But next year when MobileMe is sent packing, I will have to switch. When this day comes, will I still have my .mac address? I've used this for so many years, I don't want to have to let everyone know that I have a new address. Also in the Mac mail program I use an AOL account as well, will this address be supported in iCloud as well?

Yes, I believe your .mac email account will still be available once mobileme is fully retired.
You should also have no problem accessing your AOL account through the OS X mail client.

I received a gift card and when I redeemed it an error message said that I had some itunes files missing and that I needed to reinstall itunes. Will I still have all my credits when I download itunes?

I received an online gift card for Father's Day. When I tried to redeem the gift then I received a error message saying I had some itune files missing and I needed to reinstall/download itunes. Will I still have my previous purchase credits after downloading and reistalling itunes?

You will, because the credited funds are on your iTunes account, not the application. When you reinstall iTunes just configure it with your old iTunes account and your credits will be there waiting for you.

On start up, my PC gives me an error APSDaemon.exe and my iTunes will not launch...is there a fix and if I remove and reinstall my iTunes, will I still have my content?

May I get some insight, My PC (i know thats part of the problem but help if you can anyway) gives the APSDaemon.exe error wessage and will not allow my iTunes to open...if I delete and reinstall, will I still have my content as it may be an iCloud issue as well??? I'm not sure and appreciate the assistance.

Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
I really need help!

I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded?

I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded? The online information suggests all my music will be replaced. Will I have to download it again??

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.
