Need to install FCP 5 on old computer - lost password

Hello all.
I want to install an old copy of FCP Studio 5 I have on an older Mac Mini (so my 10 year old daughter can learn the basics).
I have no idea where the serial number is - does anyone know a workaround so that I can install without one - or get a replacement?
Thanks
Adrian S

There is no workaround...no legal ones anyway, and we cannot talk about those on the official Apple site.  You can try to call Apple and see if they have anything for you...which would really only work if you registered your copy. But even then...FCP 5...that's ancient in Apple years. They stop support once the new version is announced! 
Serial number is on the paperwork that came with the software...locate that, and you'll have it.

    In this complicated case, I think it's important that you get your work in.
    The Photography Plan includes Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. Open an account with them and for $10 a month you can be back in business which I think nets you more than $10. It's what I do. You can do this immediately. You get two seats and they can be either Mac or PC.
    In your spare time you can sort out the license issue and cancel the plan later on if this is fixed.
    If you don't want to go there, then you will have to call Customer Service by phone and hope they can fix this.

  • HT201413 when i installed itunes in my old computer it would disable my CD burner and I was only able to burn through itunes. has this problem been resloved or will i have the same problem when i download it into my new computer?

    When I installed itunes into my old computer (loaded with Windows Vista) it deleated my CD burner and would only allow me to burn via itunes - I had to go in to Best Buy to have them fis the problem but was told not to download new updates for itunes or it would do the same. with this fix I am not able to burn CDs from itunes which is a bummer.  If I download itunes onto my new  computer (loaded with Windows 7) is it going to do the same thing or has  this problem been resolved?

    Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.

  • I want to use the SQL Toolkit of NI and SQL Server as my databasis on a server. Do I need to install a client in each computer I want to handle the data into SQL tables or I need only a ODBC driver?

    I want to use the SQL Toolkit of NI and SQL Server as my databasis on a server. Do I need to install a client in each computer I want to handle the data into SQL tables or I need only a ODBC driver?

    You only need the ODBC driver on each computer. If you are distributing the SQL Toolkit app as an executable and do not install the whole toolkit on each computer, you'll need the SQL Toolkit support files. This is about a dozen files. You can get the list at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/b814be005f9da9258625658700550c75?OpenDocument.

  • I need to install Photoshop to a school computer

    I need to install photoshop to a school computer. I have found it is imposible to install CC from online becuase the computer blocks installs from online. So what I did was bring a portable version of photoshop from home to school. I doint have to install the version, so it worked better. But i was never able to get it to work fully. When I launched the app it told me that the comoputer didnt allow registry editing, and it wouldnt work giving me error 16. So my question is if there are any loopholes I cloud go thorught to get it to work on a computer I cant edit the registry or anything important, maybe make it work only from the flash drive or hard drive.

    You probably need to work this out with the system administrator at your school.  There are reason for having these types of restrictions in place and it usually means approval/adjustment is needed to make an allowance for installing one's own software.

  • Need to Install iMovie06 from my old install disc to computer w/iMovie08

    I have macbook pro that came with iMovie 08 installed. I need to open and edit some old iMovies I made with iMovie 06. I have my old install discs for iLife 06. If I go through a custom install and only select to install iMovie 06, will this overwrite my iMovie 08? I'd like to keep both versions on my computer to work separately on different movies (not to mix - keep 06 movies in 06 and 08 movies in 08). How can I install iMovie 06 and keep my iMovie 08?

  • Need help transferring itunes library from old computer to new laptop

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new laptop and am having trouble getting my library to transfer to my new laptop, i followed this step by step process http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US and in the end ended up with no music on my ipod and no music in the itunes library on my new computer...
    So then i went into Itunes on the new computer and clicked import library under File, so i found the Music folder that i had transferred over and it imported the music but all my playlist were not there, just songs. So i ended up syncing my ipod back to my old computer so i would get all the songs and playlist back on as it was originally before this whole process...
    My desktop runs XP while my new laptop runs Vista Ultimate w/ SP1 home edition, dont know if this matters...
    So not sure where i should go from here, i have already Authorized my laptop with the itunes store , i was thinking of uninstalling Itunes on my laptop and starting over from scratch, will this help?
    BTW when i did the original transfer i used my Ipod as the hard drive as it had plenty of storage room left on it, i do have access to a 250GB external HD i was thinking of using that and trying that to transfer the library...
    So if anyone can tell me how to transfer my Itunes library from old comp to new laptop it would be greatly appreciated...

    The method you used should work if followed exactly.
    The key points are - is your music all together? It must all be in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.
    When you copy the iTunes folder to the iPod you get the library database with your playlists and the iTunes Music folder containing the music files.
    Since you had trouble doing this with the iPod, why not try copying your iTunes folder to the external drive.
    The method is identical the one for the iPod except you leave out the iPod specific stuff.
    You install iTunes on the new PC, then you drag the newly created iTunes folder out the Music folder to the desktop, then you copy the iTunes folder from the EHD into Music, replacing the one you dragged out.
    When you have done that, you need to check that your account has full control of your iTunes folder - Vista is fussy about that - you will not be able to edit track info if you don't have full control.
    Vista file folder permissions help

  • Need to tranfer Itunes library from old computer to new computer

    I bought a laptop which is a Compaq with Windows 7. I wanted to "transfer" my Itunes library from my old computer to my new computer. In other words, I wanted my Itunes account and Ipod to be on the new computer. So I installed Itunes on my new laptop and synced my Ipod classic to the new computer. I lost all of my music except for the music I purchased off of Itunes.
    I have looked through the Apple articles and have gone through many, many times to copy my Itunes library from my hard drive to the new computer. It does not copy correctly. It shows up in my Itunes library but WILL NOT sync to my ipod. I have also lost the games I purchased off of Itunes. Everytime I try to download the games, it wants to charge me all over again.
    Is there someone out there that can tell me a simple way of tranferring my Itunes library with my games I have purchased to my new computer??? I know it is possible.
    **one more thing, my old computer can't be hooked up to the internet anymore since I got a laptop and my internet is wireless.

    You need to copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one. You should be able to link the machines to each other, either directly with a cross over network cable, or via your internet router - typically wireless models also include one or two wired connections.
    The important thing to is to copy the library files from the iTunes folder as well as the media. If you won't be using the old machine any more then you should also deauthorize it (which will need an internet connection).
    The new computer will need to be authorized to your account before it will copy protected content, such as games, to your iPod.

  • I need help installing PS6 on an additional computer

    I have a new computer and I want to install my PS6 on it. I tried, but it says something about the code being counterfeit. Is this because I have it already installed on my old computer? Is there a way for me to install it on my new computer? Please help.

    No, you get two activations. If the server thought you were using too many, it would tell you that you exceeded your allowed number.
    Do you get a red x when you input the serial number, or you successfully input the serial number and get this error when you attempt activation?
    If you bought it off Ebay or Craigslist instead of direct from Adobe, chances are you got a counterfeit, Adobe caught on and retired the number.
