Lost Final Cut Pro Disc - Have Serial Number - What to do?

We have FCP Studio 5.1 and we have our serial number and all proof of purchase etc. We got a new computer and somehow have lost the discs. Is there a place to get, purchase, or download just the software and then we can enter our serial number to activate it and register it. Thanks.

Contact Apple at its main number with your proof of purchase.
Also, file a claim with your insurance company.
Good luck.

  • Final Cut Pro not accepting serial number??

    I was working on a project just fine this morning. I close out and just tried to open Final Cut and it brought up the licensing window, so I put in the serial number and it says it's not a valid number. What happened??? Im on it for an hour this morning and now Im blocked out 5 hrs later?? I have Final Cut Pro 7.

    I'm having the exact same issue as Chester Finney1. I would LOVE to know how you fixed it, because I can't seem to. If anyone knows how to fix this without needing to contact Apple, that would be fantastic!!!
    I'm on a MacBook Pro and have Final Cut Pro 7. It tells me that my serial number is invalid for Final Cut Pro 7, Compressor and Motion. But DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro are fine.

  • Lost my Final Cut Pro disc, but I have the serial/license number

    So basically I want to take my final cut pro off of one computer and put it on another. But I don't have my disc, I do have the serial/license number so is there anyway I can install it on my other computer without the disc? Or is there anyway to get a replacement disc? Thanks for your help.

    A few weeks ago, I suggested to someone here who was in the same predicament that they contact Apple with proof of purchase to see if they could get replacement discs. They were told that this was not an option.
    So how do you lose $1300 worth of software discs in the first place? Doesn't something kick in that says "these have to be put in a safe place" ?
    Mine are in a deposit box at the bank along with my Adobe stuff and Cinema4D discs -afterall, I invested several thousands of dollars in them.
    This must be something new.
    I unfortunately lost my disks 3 years ago and Apple, with proof of purchase replaced them.

  • Lost Final Cut Pro Installation Disc

    Is there a way to get a replacement disc for Final Cut Pro 5 Academic. I lost mine and have looked hard and can't find it. OR Is there an e-mail for a support team person to Final Cut Pro so I can contact them? Please either answer one/both of the questions.
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I beleive the answer is No to both.
    It's kind of like losing your car ... you may still have the keys but that won't get you far, and the manufacturer is unlikely to send you a replacement.
    ... ok, its not really like that at all but I think you catch my drift

  • Lost installation book don't have serial number

    Trying to reinstall Final Cut Pro five in a older computer that I put a new hard drive because the old one crashed. I have original installation disk manual and everything that came in the studio but I seem to of lost my installation manual with my serial number on it where else can I find it?

    If you've lost the serial number, you might be able to obtain a new one from Apple, provided you have proper documentation: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861
    FWIW, it is always a good idea to keep software serial numbers in a database, spreadsheet or text file.

  • How do I recover a lost Final Cut Pro X file?

    Help!  I was just working on a huge project Final Cut Pro when the computer completely froze, no spinning ball of death or anything.  I'd already had one crash earlier, but that was just the typical "(Not Responding)" you might get when working on an entry level computer.  On complete freeze crash, I couldn't get the computer to show any signs of response, so I finally hard reset it.  I have an external screen running, and my projects are on an external hard drive.  When I opened the computer and Final Cut Pro, my event was there, but there is no project to be seen.  I can't find it anywhere.  I've spent somewhere around 4 hours on this at the least, and hope I don't have to start the whole thing over, since I have a deadline.  Is there any way to recover it?  I looked at the other discussions, but I don't know where I would find the project file on my computer.  I'm running Final Cut Pro X 10.2.2.

    Never mind, I just figured it out.  The open library from backup was greyed out a minute ago, now it worked though, and I have my project back.  Whew!  Just go to file/open library/from backup.  You just have to have the library you want the backup of to be selected.

  • Does Final Cut Pro X have native XDCAM support?

    Looking to find out from someone if  Final Cut Pro X does indeed have native XDCAM support?

    EXDCAM EX yes, is native. No conversion

  • When I use Greek accenting and polytonic characters in a title, Final Cut Pro X quits unexpectedly. What should I do?

    When I try to write a title in Greek using the Greek alphabet, Final Cut Pro X quits unexpectedly, the moment I press the button for the Greek accenting (" ' "). This happens only when I press the button. If for example, I write the title in TextEdit and then copy paste it in FCPX then the title is pasted correctly and the program does not quit.
    An example of title: "Εγώ", so as soon as I press the accenting and then "ω", then everything freezes and FCPX quits.
    It must be a bug, but it really causes a problem. Temporarlily, I always c/p to textEdit and then paste it to FCPX. But I am also using Polytonic Greek system (fonts), so it is a bugger to always c/p. Is there a solution to this?
    Thank you.

    This seems to be a bug, as there was another thread that reported this exact same problem but using Finnish (I believe).
    Do you have Motion? You can try doing your titles there and then export/import into FCPX.

  • HT1338 lost final cut pro 7 serial number

    My FCP 7 keeps on asking me about my serial number. I've thrown that box a long time ago.
    How can I retrieve the serial number?
    Also, I don't want to move on to FCP x. Such a horrible interface and system.
    I want my FCP 7 back please.
    Is there a place where I can download it again.
    There doesn't seem to be a download software or software available in the market anymore for FCP 7.

    There is no way you can yourself recover the license key if you've lost it (and it would have been on the disk sleeve or a separate piece of paper, not on the box). FCP 7 isn't downloadable and even if it was it wouldn't come with the license key. If you can't find the paper with the key, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask them if there's any way they can generate a new key for you. At this point I would be surprised if they can, but you can ask and hope.
    Good luck.

  • Lost one of my Final Cut Pro Discs - Can support help me?

    Hi,
    Just got a new macbook pro and am installing a copy of Final Cut Studio 2 on it. (Previously had an old G5 where I installed studio)
    It's a registered, official copy of Final Cut Studio 2 (Academic) and I can't seem to find 2 of my discs. Is there anything support can do for me? Or am I screwed?

    Give Apple care a call and plead your case. Their number is included with the documentation that came with the software. Only they can send you replacement disks.
    If you purchased it from a store, having the information about where you purchased the software including a receipt would probably be useful. If you bought it used from a person, I'd say you have a much lower chance for relief.
    Good luck.

  • Final Cut Studio Educational version serial number

    I've been using an educational version of Final Cut Studio for years, and now it is asking me for my name and serial number before I open the program.  I've looked at the box that the discs come in, and have found some numbers, but they don't seem to be the serial numbers and they don't work.  Is there somewhere else that these serial numbers may be?  Also, is there a reason why I am forced to put in my information to log in now?
    thanks!

    There are two stickers with the serial # attached to the "Installing your software" pamphlet that came with the suite. This is the only place that you will find it.
    If you have lost the documentaion, follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861
    >Also, is there a reason why I am forced to put in my information to log in now?
    Have you recently had the computer repaired? The encrypted serial is tied to the Logic board ID. You will need to delete that file if so.

  • Final Cut tells me "invalid serial number" after clearing my early 2010 27 inch imac and trying to reinstall

    I wiped my hard drive after completing a time machine backup on my desktop.  it was getting really slow and buggy (800 of 1tb full, lots of music freeware, sample downloads etc.).  I already used one of the serial numbers that came with my final cut install box (they're two of the same number?) on a laptop, and now after clearing the drive, it is telling me that the number is invalid.  How do i nullify the original use of my serial number from before I cleared my drive?  And if it matters, I do have every original file from my hard drive with final cut installed backed up, in case there is any way to restore an entire app and all of its necessary components through time machine.  Thanks in advance!

    Make sure you're entering the serial number correctly.  I think each set of 3 characters is either all numbers or letters (not a combination of numbers and letters).  This will help to differentiate zeros from the letter o, etc.

  • How do I find a Lost Final Cut Pro X Project

    I have been working for months on a Project to turn old family home movies into an HD video.  Now, the project has disappeared and I cannot find it.  What might have happened?  And where might I find this project?  I would HATE to have lost all of that work.

    Depending on the version of FCP X you are using, the project etc. should be in the Final Cut Projects/Final Cut Events folders or in a special Final Cut  Library.
    All these items should be on your HDD.
    Just realised you are on ML, so your poject should be in the projects and events folders mentioned.
