Install FCP 5 at Home Too?

Hi all. I'm just about to upgrade our systems to FCP Studio 5 and was wondering if I can still install a copy at home for the occasional homework project? Has Apple introduced that whole activation deal? I really can't buy a whole other copy just to work at home. Thanks for any advice.

I thought good application software vendors were all heading toward "like a book" licensing these days.
Don't confuse Apple with 'a software vendor.' Apple is, first and foremost, a hardware company. Every piece of software that Apple makes - not to mention free stuff like iTunes - is designed and engineered to sell more hardware, be it a Mac or an iPod.
Adobe, on the other hand, is a true software vendor (does Sony even make anything for the Mac?!?), and, if memory serves, they were among the first with the desktop & portable (or home/office) allowance in software licenses.

    Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
    In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/

  • Installing FCP using terminal

    friends: i want to try and install final cut pro HD 4.5 on my macbook air 11 inch running 10.7.2 (if possible). this same program is running great on my other macbook air 11 inch using a slightly earlier OS X (Lion?). 10.7.2 as you know does not support 10.7.2, but i have heard that sometimes it is just the installer that needs the powerpc so i am trying to install it via terminal. the problem is, i do not know how to configure my string properly. when i drop the .app into the terminal window i get this location:
    /Users/mycomputername/Desktop/Final\ Cut\ Pro\ HD.app
    and i was using variations of this:
    sudo installer -package /Users/mycomputername/Desktop/Final\ Cut\ Pro\ HD.app -target /
    try not to laugh, i am not a coder, just trying to get my computer to run this program that i love. the new FCP is too expensive and i don't even like it. if you can assist me in creating the proper string i would be grateful. i know that someone was able to install final cut studio using this method.
    thanks so much for your help!

    I do not use Final Cut Pro, but I play one on Television!
    Here is a quote from Wikipedia:
    In April 2004, version 4.5 of Final Cut Pro was introduced and branded by Apple as "Final Cut Pro HD" due to its native support for Panasonic's tape-based DVCPRO HDformat for compressed 720p and 1080i HD over FireWire. (The software had been capable of uncompressed HD editing since version 3.0, but at the time had required expensive video cards and high speed storage.)
    Any program written in 2004 would have been a PowerPC application.  After Apple migrated all of its future Macs to the Intel platform in 2006, it included in OS X Tiger (and later Leopard, and optionally in Snow Leopard) emulation software that would allow most PowerPC apps to continue to run in Intel.  This sofware was based upon technology that Apple licensed from a 3rd party and which Apple called Rosetta.
    Apple's license to include Rosetta in newer versions of OS X expired with Lion and now Mt. Lion.
    Hence no matter how well you use Terminal, or even Pacifist to install FCP 4.5, it just will NEVER run under Lion on your Mac.
    If your MacBook Air 11" is old enough (2010, MacBookAir3,1) to boot and run Snow Leopard, you can either partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it.  You can then "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you want to run FCP 4.5 or into Lion when you need iCloud or otherwise.
    Alternatively you can install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 on any 11" MacBook Air and have FCP 4.5 running concurrently with Lion, such as here where the PowerPC app Appleworks is running on a Lion Mac:
                                  [click on image to enlarge]
    Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).
    Parallels offers a 14 day free trial download from its website.  It sells retail for $79 but can be found for a discount on the internet.
    NOTE: You are confusing your version with Final Cut Express 3.5 and Final Cut Studio 2, both of which will run in Lion, but whose installers have problems in Lion and Mt. Lion due to a "bug" in the installer program.  For those versions, as pointed out in Jeremy Johnstone's blog, using Terminal (or alternatively, using Pacifist) to install will achieve success in using those versions in Lion.

  • Mega PC865 DELUXE - Problems installing Windows XP Home SP2

    Hi - I have a PC865 Deluxe - (celeron 2.8ghz Celeron, 512mb Crucial Ram) - and a Maxtor S-ATA 80GB hard drive - trying to install windows XP Home Edition - and it boots from CD rom and starts the Windows Setup - but it the windows install fails to recognize the hard drive,   I've also tried with a seagate 80GB ATA drive and it fails to find that too.
    The bios is recognizing the drives fine - just the windows install fails (and as a result eventually comes up saying Unable to mount boot volume).
    I have tried the hard drives in another pc (emachines) and windows is quite happy to start installing on that one - just not on the MEGA PC 865.     Is this a case of updating the bios to 1.3 - or is there any other possible cause.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    BB

    Many thanks for all your help,
    I have just tried a new seagate drive 120GB - and its now installing fine.    Thanks for the advice its helped me lot - can now enjoy the new box.

    Pro apps must be installed from the original install discs (or a complete set of disc images).  Migration or simply copying the app icon in the applications folder won't do it - there are too many related files that get installed into the OS system folders, not just the app itself.

  • How many times can you install FCP?

    Hello everyone, new to the forums here. I've searched throught he forums but couldnt find an answer to my question.
    I'm in the middle of installing Final Cut Studio 2 (waiting to put in the next disc) when my buddy came over and mentioned that you could only install FCP one time and never install it again on any other computer. This worries me because in January I was going to get a new Mac Pro and un-install FC from my Macbook Pro so I could use it on the new computer. Is this possible? Or once I install this on my laptop is it permanent?
    Thanks in advance for the help

    Ok so you can install it on as many machines as you like but can only use (or have one activated through registering) one at a time. I know this is a touchy subject with piracy and all, but I thought it would just be rediculous if I installed this on my laptop, and 6 months down the line wanted to install it on another computer that I own.

  • I have a 2008 iMac with Bootcamp 5.0 and I am trying to install windows 7 home premium 64 bit on it. How do I go about this?

    I have been having trouble installing Windows 7 Home Premium on my 2008 iMac while using BootCamp.  It has OS X Mavericks 10.9.1.  Every time I try and use bootcamp I come across a blank black screen with a flashing white curser in the top left hand corner after it has restarted.  If anyone knows a solution to this that would be great.

  • Installed Office 2013 home and Business and its prompting activation for Office 2013 standard

    Dear Friends,
    Previously i got a trial version of Office 2013 stadard version on my PC and later on i purchased Office home and business version, i uninstalled standard version restarted the PC and installed Office 2013 home and Business OEM pack and activated the prduct.
    Now while i am opening any  office product like Excel or Word while checking for activation information there its showing me both the versions of office, Office 2013 standard (activation required) and office 2013 Home and business activated. Now my question
    is why that office standard 2013 is still showing in my activation page where as the same version was unable to find in my control panel programs and features. please help me out to get rid of this issue.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Maybe you didn't remove the the Standard version completely, I suggest you uninstall Office using the Fix it tool:
    Click this Fix it.
    Or we can uninstall Office 2013 manually, the steps are long and depend on your installation method, please refer to this article below:
    Manually uninstall Office 2013 or Office 365
    Note   Before you start, you need to know removing Office manually is a long, complex process and might require that you reinstall the operating system if certain steps are done incorrectly.
    After the uninstall, install the version you need to check the result.

    Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows.  Office 2011 is for Mac.  If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine.

  • I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imac so I could install Windows 7 Home Premium and had no trouble everthing is working fine the only question I have is is there a benefit to migrating the 2 together and what happens when I do Thanks.  Ricco

    I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imack so I could install Windows 7 Home Premiumwith no problem and everthing is working fine, and I was thinking of Migrating the 2 2 and was wondering what benefits there would be and what happens when I do.

    Windows 7 will peer down through the VM and remember what hardware the VM is installed on. Migrate the VM to different Mac hardware, and on first boot, Windows 7 will advise you that you are not using genuine Microsoft Windows. It will then treat you as though it believes you misappropriated it.

    Theoretically as much as you want but there are technical limitations about the usable bandwidth in the wireless or by the used access point.
    All participants (stations) in a wireless network share the available bandwhith equally and therefore a point will get reached where the throughput in the network became insufficient to stream music.
    Also some routers limit the number of stations could get connected. For instance Apples Airport Extreme have a limit of 50 connected clients and the AP-Express (if used as access point) a limit of 10 simultaneous connections.

  • Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243)

    Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243) - Please help me!!
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad E530. This laptop is only brands new.
    KB954430, KB973688 & KB2538243 - These three updates keep giving me problems. In Windows Update, under "view update history" these keep showing up as failed. I also get the error, "Code 643".
    At the end of the installation it tells me three updates are failed to be installed and when I shut down to try to update, Windows always configures up to ~15%, then fails, and reverts changes, then prompts me to install updates the next time I turn my computer on. Each time, I have to re-install every update that I had installed prior to shutting down.
    I went through Trouble shooter - "Fix it" numerous times, Repaired Net framework profile and also followed few instructions I found from the net such as running "Reset Register Windows update Components" but nothing works so far.
    I even tried manually installing KB954430 but it told me "An error occurred during the installation of assembly component. 7B30B69B-OE6C-B7EO-A06B-D6B9ABF34537  HR RESULT: 0 x 80070BC9" and the installation bar seems to stop at "Publishing Product information", then rolls back the installation.
    If you need more details, please tell me & Thanks in advance

  • Cannot install windows xp home edition w/sp3 into my mac pro mac os 10.6.2

    cannot install windows xp home edition w/sp3 into my mac pro mac os 10.6.2. I followed the instructions step by step but it does let me install if fully when asks me to fully install it says it cannot where to install.

    Hi,
    how much diskspace did you assign to the Windows partition ?
    And did you do the reformating of the WIndows partition as described on pages 8-10 of the BootCamp Installation Guide ?
    In your first post you mentioned 'fully install' twice. Any chance that the XP disc you use is an Upgrade disc and not a full retail/OEM one ?
    Check with the label on the disc because such XP upgrade disc are not useable with BootCamp.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • KT6 VLSR and HDD S-ATA unable to install Windows XP Home

    Hi,
    I can't install Windows XP home edition (with SP2 included) onto my computer (KT6 VLSR with HDD Seagate S-ATA 160 Go) : during the windows copying file process, the famous blue screen appears and Windows installation fails.
    Of course, I have flashed the Bios to the latest version (with the latest RAID driver) from the MSI global website, made a floppy with the VIA PIDE/SATA RAID Drivers & Utility (downloaded from MSI website, and then from VIA's) and used it (F6) so Windows could detect the hard drive.
    I checked the RAID BIOS, the CPU, the memory, the HDD, the power supply (Antec Sonata 380 W) in the BIOS : everything is fine. There is just no way to install Windows XP.
    I checked each component with anoter computer.
    And I searched and searched again the forum. Surprise! I am not alone but nobody has solved the problem so far. Shall I believe that MSI motherboards (with VIA chipsets) are definitely faulty? Nothing can be found in the FAQ or in the knowledge base.
    So I am going to buy an old IDE hard drive for I am sure it will work (my previous specs). I will use the S-ATA HDD for storage purpose only and avoid MSI products.

    So if the SATA disk is one whole partition, we might have a problem?!
    Unfortunately I don't know.  My hard drives are filled so I am unable to find out. What I need to do is get another 250GB SATA, and once I do I will unhook my first one and try installing windows xp without any service packs on the full 250GB and see if it works. The only problem is it will be at least a couple of months until I get the drive.
    Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 12-August-05, 05:45:15
    I know the top speed of SATA data transfer to and fro the disk could be 150 MB/s, and I also know that this seldom or never can be reached, due to hard disk mechanics etc. What is the normal or average transfer speed of a modern SATA disk?
    It has been awhile since I benched my drives but I believe they came in at 67MBps when everything was new, now a year and a couple of months later it is to about 48MBps, but I have all my drives almost completely filled. I could be completely off base, but both tests were done using the Nero check (so it knows the fastest drive to cache files in). It is just a matter of me trying to remember them.   (My brain is fried )
    Good Luck
