Just bought FCS - do I have to pay for FCP upgrade?

Hi, I just purchased Final Cut Studio two weeks ago, now I see that Final Cut Pro has been upgraded to version 5.1 offering up to 2x performance for my system.
Do I have to pay out for an upgrade already?
Any advice appretiated.
Thanks
Lee

v5.1 has been on the shelves for about a week in the States so I would have to say you bought the wrong box.
Is there a free upgrade/crossgrode for you? Call your retailer or check the Apple.com marketing pages for FCP5.1/Studio. You will get reliable information directly from Apple or your retailer. All we do here is speculate and lie.

  • I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

    I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

    That is a free update (not an upgrade) what happens when you try? How are you trying to update? did your Mac come with restore disks or did you download software form teh App Store? Have you logged onto the App store and checked purchased software for updates?

  • FMS3.0 - FMS3.5 Have to pay for the upgrade?

    Do I have to pay for the upgrade from 3.0 to 3.5?

    Yes. The Adobe store says the upgrade is $349 USD

  • HT202879 Other Word Processors than Pages? & why do we have to pay for an upgrade that is incomplete?

    I am very unhappy.
    In order to access my documents from iCloud I have to upgrade to Mavericks (free, alright) and the new Pages, for which I have to pay.
    The new Pages (and Numbers etc) does not have the same functionality as the one I have been using - yet I have to pay for it. Alright, Apple promises to upgrade in the next six months and add the new functionality. This is not good enough.
    This was a very unpleasant surprise today - when I went to my document that I have been working on on my iPhone and my Mac at various times during the day and the Mac one had changed to 'Untitled 47' and the version on my iPhone would not open on my Mac unless I upgraded to the new Pages - $19.99 - and to OSX Mavericks - free - but I don't want to upgrade yet. And I don't want to pay for a new version of Pages that clearly does not have the same functionality(according to the user comments and the apple page that  this discussion is about).
    I have praised Apple to high heaven for the functionality of iCloud. But this really really annoys me.
    If there's anything I hate its a company I am relying on forcing me to upgrade before they've sorted out the bugs.
    I am definitely considering changing to a different company's word processor - if only they had a word processor that I could use on my Mac and iOS devices.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks Tom! Following your advice I posted a (shorter) version at feedback.
    And thanks for those hints. Yes I've been looking at those ones.
    IA Writer and Byword both can use the iCloud.
    Writeroom only syncs using Dropbox.
    Of course they're very minimal apps compared to Pages, or Word.
    I feel very depressed.
    Perhaps I will have to use one of these and then import into Word for final editing.
    Believe it or not, for a minute I thought MS Word might be a contender for iOS syncing - because there is this thing called Office 365. But look at the reviews.

    I really don't want to deal with all the problems of updating to Mavericks just now.

  • Do i have to pay for the upgrade on garageband when it was pre-installed?

    Everytime i open garageband it tells me there is an upgrade available. My question is do i have to pay for upgrade because it was pre-installed in my macbook air. The little rectangle thingy you click to purchase where it says the price or free, just says upgrade but off to the side of the page in the information box its price says $14.99. so im confused on whether or not the upgrade is free. The pre-installed is GarageBand '11 version 6.0.3 the upgrade is to GarageBand '11 6.0.5

    New Macs come with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand for free. In your case, the price that appears on the side of the page is only the price of the application for Macs that didn't come with GarageBand '11 or for users that want to upgrade from an older GarageBand version, like '08 or '09. You have GarageBand '11, so press the Upgrade button without worrying about paying for the application, and you will get the most recent GarageBand for free

  • Upgrade to Lion 10.7 - Do I have to pay for 2 Upgrades? 10.6.8 & Lion 10.7

    I have Mac OS 10.5.8.  To get Lion, do I first have to pay $30 for Snow Leopard v10.6.8, then another $30 for Lion 10.7

    Yes, that is correct. Go to any Apple Store to purchase a Snow Leopard DVD for $29.00. Upgrade your computer to Snow Leopard for access the the App Store (need 10.6.6 or later) where you can purchase and download Lion for $29.99.

  • I already have compressor. Do I have to pay for the upgrade?

    I am trying to compress a film to post to youtube and the tutorials are all showing me how to use compressor with later versions with much different GUI's. Do I have to pay to upgrade from my existing version to the latest version. I paid too much for this MacBook Pro for that to be true.

    If you have Compressor 3.5, moving to C4 will cost you $50. If you have C4.0.7 you can update to C4.1.1 for no cost.

  • Bought a new iPod Touch TODAY, Do I have to Pay for the upgrade?

    So, the the title says it all. Today I bought an iPod touch. Do this entitle me to a free Firmware 2? (because I bought it the next day the Firmware was announced and it's suppossed to come free in new iPod touchs)

    Ramzy76 wrote:
    A* was gracious to give Touch owners the option to buy firmware update
    Unfortunately, being gracious has nothing to do with it. A* is a business. And since the iPhone and iPod Touch share a lot of the same guts, making the 2.0 firmware available for purchase was a no-brainer.
    It's also important to recognize that Sarbanes-Oxley and/or US accounting standards do not "force" A* to charge for Touch updates. The rationale behind the fees boils down to users' willingness to pay and A*'s desire to spread iPhone dev costs across multiple product lines.

  • TS1372 I have an ipod classic 160gb have already tried all the steps with no success. I have just bought this ipod and have had it for less than a week before this happened. what is wrong with my ipod and how can i fix it?

    brand new ipod classic 160gb will not restore. have tried all steps with no fix. Also tried steps on a different computer with same results. anu help?

    if you own a mac try to re format the disc to journal.
    If you are on a windows like me, try to reformat the disc to NTFS. Then it will display that you need to restore as the ipod is in recovery mode. It restored with success. and voila, brand new working ipod.

  • Do I have to pay for iPhoto upgrade...

    I'm currently running iPhoto 5 (iLife suite 5) on G4 iMac - now from 1st NOvember not possible to order prints/books. BUt software upgrade doesn't offer me to upgrade iPhoto (only iTunes etc) - why not iPhoto? Do I have to upgrade to iPhoto 9 - but looking in the forum it appears maybe some problems with older OS/machines and iLife 9? So do I need to upgrade and to which version is safe? THANKS!

    Ah ... when I just called Apple Store to try and purchase iLife 08 - they told me that as I had a non-Intel processor (I have iMac G4) I wouldn't be able to upgrade to iLife 08 and there no chance to print/order books etc via iphoto....

  • Bought a new mac last weekend do I have to pay for Mountain Lion

  • Do you have to pay for the macbook upgrade?

    Hey guys! I recently bought a used MacBook os x 10.5.8, I changed the admin user ( http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-73393-change-mac-admin-password-without-the-d isk ) And now I want to access the mac app store, but now I hear that you have to upgrade your mac to do that, but before upgrading I have one question: Do you have to pay for the upgrade, because people say that you have to pay 30$ and on the youtube I see that you can easily press the "Software update" and you just folow some further steps such as ''next'' , wait few minutes and it's done ! So I don't get it !!! or maybe if you entered the credit card details on iTunes it will charge you automatically ?  Yeah, that's my question

  • I have os x v 10.6.8 why do I have to pay for os x 10.7.2?

  • I downloaded an app that said free, but later it turns out that I have to pay for it! Why did that happen!?!?

    I don't get it!!!

    Without knowing what app you are talking about, no one here can explain what happended. We can however, make certain assumptions.
    Many, free games include "in-app" purchases.... items that you can buy within the game that let you unlock other levels, or use to enhance the game experience. Some free games are lite versions and if you agree to upgrade the game, you may have to pay for the upgrade.
    So like I said  without knowing what game you are talking about and what you might have done during game play, we can only guess. But .... You should have been required to enter your password when you made any purchases - unless you had already entered your password for another reason - maybe to download a free app perhaps.
    Once you enter your password, you can download continuously without having to re-enter the password for a 15 minute period of time so if that's the case, only you would know what happened. If that's not the case, more details will be needed from you for a further explanation.

  • I just bought a Mac Book Pro and why do I now have to pay for the OS X upgrade?

    I just bought a Mac Book Pro about a month ago and now I have to pay for the OS upgrade!!! Is there anyway to avoid this charge?

    Click on the  in the top left corner, then About This Mac. The version number will be listed right under OS X.
    If it is something like 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 (anything starting with 10.8.x), you can click Software Update to download 10.8.5 for free.
