Leopard FCS2 & ProApps Updates Available

http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/
Also via software updater.

For the love of God, do NOT upgrade to Leopard if you are in the middle of a project...or at any other time in my opinion.
I didn't read the blogs first and the "helpful" nitwits at the Apple store were glad to tell me how wonderful Leopard is, but didn't mention a word about how the majority of my income producing software would be incompatible with Leopard. Their conduct borders on fraud.
I haven't even opened Final Cut because I never got that far. I was working with stills and not only is my Photoshop 7 completely incompatible, but even Aperture crashes fatally every two minutes, and that's after the Leopard updates from Apple. I don't have a week to spend on the phone with Tech Support, and I can't afford to upgrade all my software.
DO NOT UPGRADE until you have a LOT of time to debug your system, and be prepared to buy new/upgraded programs. BE SURE TO CHECK THE INCOMPATIBILITIES LISTS before you upgrade.
At this point, Vista might be a better choice.
I'm now trying to figure out how to go back to 10.4 so I can get back to work.

  • Hi i want to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to OS X Mavericks or OS X Yosemite. My software update menu dosnn´t find any updates available. Help please, what can i do to upgrade to OS X Mavericks or newer version?

    Hi i want to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to OS X Mavericks or OS X Yosemite. My software update menu dosnn´t find any updates available. Help please, what can i do to upgrade to OS X Mavericks or newer version?

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, the computer's also incompatible with Mountain Lion and Mavericks; if desired, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Any idea how to open a iPhoto 11 library transferred from Snow Leopard to Lion when no iPhoto update available for Lion...?

    I am having problem transferring a iPhoto 11 library (v. 9.2.3) taken from my old iMac Snow Leopard to my new MBP runnning Lion (iPhoto 11 version is 9.1.5 and no upgrade seems to be available). A bit crazy, isn't it ?

    The version of the OS simply is of no consequence in this. All that matters is the version of iPhoto.
    iPhoto 11 v9.2.1 includes the necessary changes to the Library for Photostreaming.
    iPhoto 11 (v9.1.5) does not include this, and so cannot open the v9.2.1 library.
    You need to update the v9.1.5 version, and yes there are updates available.
    How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
    If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
    Otherwise you update via Softare Update
    If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
    If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

    Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later

    I have a Macbook Pro 17" 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Is Thunderbolt available on this laptop?
    I just got a 27" iMac and I'd like to connect the two for dual monitor purposes. I noticed that when I tried to install the Thunderbolt Software Update it stated that it was not supported on my laptop. Is my laptop not compatible? Is there a way to make it work or is it a lost cause?
    Thanks.

  • HT2404 when i check for updates, i receive a no updates available and i dont even have OSX 10.6

    Why i can not update the software of my Mac to osx 10.6?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Way to download old ProApp updates?

    Is there a way to download the old proApp updates from anywhere. Preferably ProAppsUpdate2007-01 and ProAppsUpdate2007-02? I'm having the good old Ozone problem. Running Motion 3 and Leopard by the way.

    FYI,
    I used the above Pro Apps 2008 03 update to fix my Ozone plugin issue with Motion 3.
    I was on a fresh install of OS X 10.5.6 and had installed FCS 2 with all the latest updates. Motion crashed when using some filters.
    I installed Pro Apps 2008 03 update on top of all the previous updates.
    It's a bit counterintuitive, especially taking in count that this issue has cropped up with Motion in early 2007. Strange they haven't fixed it yet.

  • Soft ware updater shows that there is an update available (apature) but there is no way i can find to install the update ML

    You cannot upgrade to another major release of Mac OS X via Software Update, since such upgrades - 10.5 to 10.6 or 10.7 - are not free. You will first need to purchase a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and upgrade your system, and then you can upgrade to 10.7 Lion. For both purchases you will need to call the online Apple Store, 10.6 and 10.7 both no longer being available for web ordering. For 10.6 you will get a disk, and for 10.7 you will get a code which you can redeem in the Mac App Store to which you'll have access once you upgrade to 10.6.

  • EFI Update available for mid 2011 Mac Mini

    New update available today, check Software Update for the download and follow instructions to update correctly.

    And be smart. Backup first and install ONLY the EFI update. Do any other updates separately. Most problems with EFI updates seem to come when people install other updates at the same time. One at a time to be safe, as an EFI update can turn your mini into a brick if it encounters problems.

  • App update available from iTunes, but not from iOS ?

    Found earlier today that one app had an update available on iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) ... while it wasn't available from the app store on my iPhone. The iOS app Store kept showing the old version of that app as the latest. Had to sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer the update. How can that happen? ... and no my App Store app on iOS is not completely broken, as it keeps giving me updates for all other apps ... so far. Meaning that my Apple ID isn't a problem either.

    On the iPod open the App Store app > Updates > Purchased then redownload. If nothoing shows make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID that the purchase was made with:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

  • Why does "Check for Updates..." show that there are no updates available while I'm using Firefox 3.6.18 and latest version is 5.0.1?

    First and foremost, I'd like to clarify that I hardly have any technical knowledge. So pardon me if this comes across as a silly question to the professionals. Here are the details pertaining to this problem as per the best of my limited knowledge:
    I'm currently using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18; previously it was 3.6.13. It was updated to 3.6.13 from 3.6.9 after I clicked on Check for Updates... and it told me that it'd be done when I reboot my system. When I restarted my PC, I was surprised to find that it was downloading the version 3.6.18. I didn't know how much it'd progressed in the process, so I let it finish it. After that, I disabled the option that enables it to download and update on its own, and turned it off. Next time when I started it, it was 3.6.18, but wasn't updating on its own anymore.
    Now I wanna update it directly to the latest version 5.0.1. But when I leave it to "'''Automatically download and install the update'''" option under Tools>Options>Advanced>Update, it downloads and updates the versions as per their release order. So if I leave it to it, then when I start it next time, it'll start downloading the version next to 3.6.18 and update to it instead of updating directly to 5.0.1. It'll keep doing so until it reaches there. For reasons of my own, I don't like that. So I '''unchecked '''the "Automatically download and install the update" option and chose the "'''Ask me what I want to do'''" option (so that it doesn't keep repeating the "downloading and updating" process on its own every time I start my PC). Then I went to Firefox site and thought of downloading and updating to the latest version on my own. But then I was informed that if I do so, '''I'll get the latest version, but I'll lose all my saved bookmarks unless I follow some hectic procedure to save them and load them again after installing the latest version of Firefox'''. I don't want to let that happen either. So, can anyone suggest me a way out of this situation without losing my bookmarks?
    Almost forgot. I tried several times by going to '''Help>Check For Updates...''', but every time it returned the same result: "There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates." How come no update is available while the version I'm using is 3.6.18 and the latest version is 5.0.1? In short, '''Check for Updates...''' didn't help either. (Even when I updated it last time, shouldn't it have updated itself from version 3.6.13 to 5.0.1 directly?)
    So, can anyone suggest a way by which I won't lose my bookmarks and would be able to update to the latest version directly too? An answer that wouldn't involve removing the current version and installing the latest one, but directly update to it (it's okay if it needs downloading) would be more welcome. I know that the bookmarks can be saved in a file and all, but I'd like to know if it's possible as it happened for my current version from previous version. (It downloaded and updated itself on its own, disturbing nothing, not even logged me out of certain accounts where I stay logged in. The only problem there was that it wasn't updating directly to the latest version.)
    I hope the aforementioned details make sense and are helpful enough for others to help me. Thanks.

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.
