Looking to upgrade FCP Academic

Two questions.
1. I have FCP 6 academic. Can I upgrade it at the $299 price?
2. My serial number was voided when Apple did a repair on my computer. When I type in the numbers, it says it's the wrong serial number. How do I fix this? And can I still upgrade if I don't have the serial number?

1. I have FCP 6 academic. Can I upgrade it at the $299 price?
No.
2. How do I fix this?
Call Apple.
can I still upgrade if I don't have the serial number?
See the answer to #1.

  • Upgrading from Academic

    First, I know you're not supposed to be able to upgrade from academic. However, I've looked at the FCS pages on the website and the Apple Store online and can't find any information that says you can't. Is it possible Apple is allowing upgrading from academic to retail with FCS3?
    If no one is 100% sure and there isn't any information online about it, do you think I'd be able to return the upgrade if I wanted to try it and it didn't work? Especially since there's nothing anywhere that actually says you can't. That way I can purchase the full version.
    If not, I have this situation, and this may be a dumb question....
    A very long time ago, probably about 8 or 9 years, I purchased Final Cut Pro 1.something or 2. I believe this was purchased at an academic price, but I was given a full retail version. The problem is it's nowhere to be found. I probably tossed it when I moved a some years back figuring I'd never need it again (big mistake). Does Apple keep a record of these purchases/registrations? Is there a department I can contact at Apple to find out what my serial number was so I can upgrade from that older version I had?
    Thanks!

    Hi Mike
    afraid you can't upgade and is is documented on the FCP update page at the apple store.
    +*About the Upgrade+
    +The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.+

    If you have an academic serial no. then the installer will know.
    sorry not the news your after i guess

  • Fcp academic version change

    I have final cut studio 5.1 academic version. I realize i cannot upgrade the academic version so I am thinking of just buying fcp6 academic. my question is this- when I go to install fcp academic 6 will it automatically uninstall 5.1 and save my projects and project settings? thanks

    Ok...then any ideas on how i 'upgrade' (change) from 5.1 to 6 without having 2 versions of fcp installed on my system or uninstall 5.1 and then instal 6 w/o losing my projects?

  • I just bought iphone 5 and my itunes says I need itunes 10.7 But when I look for upgrades it says I have the current version of itunes. HELP!

    I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

  • Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

    Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

  • Looking to upgrade stock 232gb hard drive

    From what I can tell, I have a MacBook Pro (black keys, >2008 model) with the following:
    Capacity: 232.89 GB
    Model: FUJITSU MJA2250BH FFS G1
    I am looking to upgrade to a larger hard drive (preferably 1tb, but ~750gb is alright too) as this one is filling up quickly.
    I do a lot of photoshop/lightroom work on large files (sometimes larger than 100mb) so I'm guessing I want something fast (7200 rpm?). I have 4gb of Ram installed right now, if that makes a difference.
    Can anyone reccomend a good hard drive for me? Also, how difficult (as far as tools, technical expertise, etc) would it be for me to install a new hard drive by myself?
    Thanks for the help.

    Hybrids include a small SSD that helps speed data transfers increasing the overall throughput of the drive about 10-20% over that of a standard equivalent drive. Go with Seagate or Hitach for drives. I'm not a big lover of WD because too many of their products are not very compatible with Macs.
    Your computer is probably out of warranty, but if not then no. It's DIY in the later MBPs. But if you have to do a semi-disassembly (it's not plug and forget) then any damage you may do will not be covered under the warranty.

  • I am looking to upgrade to a new iPhone.  Is it possible to then disable the phone capabilities of my old phone so I can give it to my teen for use as an iTouch?  or does the old iPhone just become unusable which would be such a waste.

  • My footage looks posterized in FCP playback

    im using FCP 7 and have downloaded all the latest software updates.
    my footage looks normal when i play it back on my video camera, it's normal when i watch it on quicktime, and even when i export it as a quicktime from FCP. it's also normal when capturing to my computer using the 'log and transfer' window. but when i play/preview the clips from the timeline or directly from the browser window, the footage looks distorted and posterized.
    ive tried talking to apple support, ive re-loaded the program, ive tried the program with a different user account, ive trashed preferences and reloaded again... but the footage still looks posterized on FCP.
    when i change the view settings, the footage looks normal on the R channel, the G channel and B channel, and even on the RGB + alpha channel, but when i view it using the RGB channel, it looks posterized, making it quite difficult to edit and colour-grade.
    any suggestions on how i can fix this problem?

    ok, so i dont know what i did. but after checking my colour settings in my system preferences (which i didnt change), FCP has decided to magically work! the footage is playing back normally now. yay!
    i really dont know what i did to fix this problem, but it all appears to be fine now. thanks for your help!

  • Looking to upgrade the video card and power supply in the K330

    Hello, I'm looking to upgrade the power supply and video card in the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330 but I need to know if these parts will be accepted by the mobo.
    Here's the card name (no link, don't know if theres a restriction to off site links) ASUS 2GB GDDR5 DIGI+ VRM technology Graphics Cards HD7770-2GD5
    The power supply name follows: Xion High Performance 1000 Watt ATX Power Supply XON-1000P14F
    Thanks for reading, and extra thanks for a good reply

    Thanks for replying, I have looked into other PSU's and came up with this: XFX PRO750W Core Edition 80+ Bronze ATX 750 Energy Star Certified Power Supply
    Feedback? And main question is, will they both (video card and PSU) be compatible with the motherboard that come standard in the K330?
    I don't really have a need for the front panel except the power, and backontrack buttons.
    Also, the reason why I'm getting a high wattage PSU is because I might later decide to build my own PC with the upgraded parts, and put the old parts back into the K330

  • Looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3

    HI everyone! I'm looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3 Master Collection. Is there an easy way of doing this? I have zero interest in anything cloud related or CS6. thanks so much in advance!

    As said by Brett already, you can no longer get CS5 or below from Adobe.
    If by any chance, you make your mind to get CS6, Here is where you can get it. Creative Suite 6

  • Looking to upgrade (finally), but first...(about port forwardig)

    I've got a (fairly) old Airport Extreme (Snow) base station. Most of the computers around the house are new enough to have the "n" airport cards in them, so I'm looking to upgrade to a new base station that support this.
    One of the pet peeves I've had for a while is that the base station that I currently have (snow) gives you extremely limited possibilities for forwarding public ports to specific machines. It limits you to 20. If you try to enter in 21 ports to forward to any particular machine, it gives an error and will not let you reboot the station.
    Does the current Airport Extreme Base Stations have this same limitation? If not, I'll just buy a different wireless router that does and pay the couple of bucks Apple charges to unlock the wireless card instead.
    Has anyone been able to forward more than 20 ports to their computer using the current base station?

    I've got a (fairly) old Airport Extreme (Snow) base station.
    You either have a 802.11b dual-Ethernet (aka snow) AirPort base station (ABS) OR an 802.11b/g round AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). The snow ABS and AEBS are totally different animals.
    KB 107908, Identifying AirPort hardware
    The new AEBS allows ranges of ports to be forwarded which makes life simpler. I also believe that the limit of 20 no longer exists.

    Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
    My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

  • I have an HP Pavilion M8200N DeskTop looking to upgrade it?

    I was doing some reason and its not a bad desktop, nothing super crazy but good enough for most of my video editing and photo work. Im looking to upgrade it as the only thing laking is the video card. So can you please tell me what the best video card is to get without upgrading my power supply and spending huge cash, but still a graphics card. As well a link to ram, how much should i put in extra?
    Maybe cheap add ons that will help as well! thanks

    Here are the specs for the MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) motherboard installed in your computer. Here is the "Software & Driver Downloads" page for your computer. Your computer is a 64-bit system running a 32-bit Windows Vista OS. HP provides drivers and software for Vista 64-bit for your computer. If you wish to install the maximum 8GB that your computer can use, you will need to replace the 32-bit OS with a 64-bit OS. If you made your HP Recovery Discs, you can use them to install most of the included HP software back on the computer after installing Vista 64-bit. A quick search on this forum should return a method to get a Vista 64-bit installation disc.
