Studio 3 upgrade

I am making a fresh install on a fresh drive. Here is what I have to install: Snow Leopard and Studio 3 in upgrade version. My question with the upgrade version of Studio 3 is this: Do I have to load my 5.1 FCp Studio 1 software and then load the Studio 3 upgrade over top of it, or can I use the Studio 1 password when asked and just proceed to load Studio 3 upg without loading Studio 1 first?

Do I have to load my 5.1 FCp Studio 1 software and then load the Studio 3 upgrade over top of it,
No need.
or can I use the Studio 1 password when asked and just proceed to load Studio 3 upg without loading Studio 1 first?
Insert the FCS 3 installer disc and enter the SN that came with it. You will then see a dialog to the effect "You have entered an upgrade serial number, please enter the original serial number". That's when the FCS 1 serial needs to be entered.

Problem Installing Final Cut Studio Upgrade

I recently purchased the Final Cut Studio Upgrade. When I went to input my SN for FCP 6 to install the upgrade, it rejects it as invalid. Have FCP 6 on my computer operating just fine. what gives?

Check to make sure your current FCP install (FCP 6) isn't an academic or Not-For-Resale version; neither is eligible for upgrade.
If you have a legitimate retail version of FCP 6, make sure you are entering the exact serial number as found on the two stickers affixed to the front of the booklet titled "Installing Your Software" that came packaged with FCP 6.
Be careful to enter a 0 (zero) instead of an uppercase O and a 1 (one) instead of a lowercase l (L) or vice versa. The serial number should be 1 letter - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 letters - 1 letter with 3 numbers

Is there a difference between final cut studio and final cut studio upgrade

i wish to buy final cut studio and was going to buy from the apple store but they recently stopped selling i have found on amazon two final cut studios one call final cut studio and the other called final cut studio upgrade the upgrade one is cheaper so this makes me think is this just like an expansion and do i need the original but both have the same pictures, descriptions and specs so are they the same thing just with different names or what? please help

Final Cut Studio is the full install...where the UPGRADE means that it requires you to have a previous version. It is cheaper because it only works if you have a previous version.

Installing studio UPGRADE on new imac with no Logic installed.

Been running Logic Pro (7) on an old mac and have now bought a lovely new imac and also purchased upgrade to Logic Studio.
Do I need to install old Logic Pro before using the Studio upgrade discs? Or can I go straight to the Studio installation and simply plug in the dongle/key into the usb at the appropriate time?
I'm assuming because the old Pro version is pre-intel etc it is a somewhat redundant exercise to load it. But I don't want the Studio installation to stall because it 'can't find' a valid version of Logic to upgrade from.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's even the same disk just labeled differently.
I'm almost positive it is. In other words, it's not the install disk that makes the package an upgrade or full version, it's the license which is tied to the serial number.
If, theoretically, you owned an upgrade disk with serial, and a full version disk with serial, and you installed from one disk, but typed in the serial number that came with the other disk, you'd end up with a perfectly good install that was tied to whatever serial you put in. I don't think it'd matter what disk you used.

Reselling Final Cut Studio Upgrades?

Several years ago I upgraded a full version of Final Cut Pro 2 to Final Cut Studio 2 to Final Cut Studio 3. Both FCS 2 and 3 are all full-retail upgrades, not academic upgrades. Quite frankly, my company is not doing much high-end video production so I'm thinking about selling my Final Cut Studio upgrades so I can purchase a new Mac, but I have a few questions.
Since I upgraded from Final Cut Pro 2 to Final Cut Studio 2 to Final Cut Studio 3 do I have to sell everything as a bundle or can I sell each upgrade individually?
Does it matter if I registered the software with Apple?
If so, how can I find out if the software is registered?
Thanks!

Installing Studio Upgrade

I have just done a new install of OSX on my Macbook Pro. I want to end up with my FCP 7.03 on it. My question is, must I install Studio 2 with the FCP6 AND THEN install the Studio upgrade that contains the FCP 7?

Well everything worked fine until I got to trying to update to 7.03, I logged in on this log in and it wouldn't recognise either my Studio 2 serial number or my Update number.
I seem to recall this happening before and I actually re-installed the 1st FCP 6 installation disc as well, then it recognised the s/n. I'd rather not do this. Any ideas?

Why my final cut pro 5 in install disc look dim and saying upgrade. I make it with studio upgrade to FCP 7. Now saying FCP 5 upgrade and dim

Hi, I used Final cut 5 and 1 year ago I buy it studio upgrade and I make 7. Everything was ok. Now I changed my computer again with mac pro. I started to install in new computer and I see Final Cut Pro 5 dim and saying upgrade. Was not optional cause for dim..Want it 2 media disc too and look like ok but not working..cant started studio upgrade. Anyone can say something please ?

There's no need to install the old version (5) of FCP on the new computer. Just start with the newest version. You will be prompted to enter the old serial number during the install process of the upgrade version.
If you've already installed version 5 on your new computer, use this to remove it:http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/ Then install the newest version only.

Final Cut Studio & Logic Studio upgrade issue

I am mainly audio based but have been working on projects more recently with Final Cut Studio 2 to deal with the video. As I use both Logic Studio 8 and Soundtrack Pro 2 a lot, and Final Cut Pro less, I plumped for the upgrade to Logic Studio which also contains STP 3 and Compressor 3.5 which seemed the right thing to do.
However the install info and dvd doesn't want you to install STP 3 or Compressor 3.5 if you have Final Cut Studio 2 as they "contain updated components that are incompatible with Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier. If the Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system, it automatically deselects the checkboxes for Soundtrack Pro and Compressor in the Custom Install pane."
Personally I didn't want to run to the expense of upgrading Final Cut as I don't use Motion, Colour or Cinema Tools and although I am working heavily in DVD Studio Pro they haven't done anything to upgrade that application (boo!)
So what's the deal? Am I unable to upgrade ST Pro to version 3 and also unable to benefit from the upgraded Compressor even though I've actually paid for an upgrade that promised me these options, and no mention until I'd opened the package that there would be any incompatibility issues with Final Cut Studio 2!
Anyone know what these 'incompatible components' are?
Sounds like sharp practice and bad product integration to me...

I just spoke with someone in Apple Reseller Channel Sales and he told me that what is shipping now is strictly the Universal version. So, if you order a Final Cut Studio Upgrade from FCP HD ($699 retail, IIRC), you will receive the FCS Universal version in the big box with all the docs.

Studio Upgrade

When I installed my Studio upgrade (FCP7) I lost the menu item that used to say " export using Compressor". Is there something I can do to get it back?

That one was now replaced by the send to compressor.

Am I eligible for $299 Final Cut Studio Upgrade?

I own the following versions of Final Cut Pro. Some of them are very old.
Final Cut Pro 1.2 (Academic)
Final Cut Pro 3.0 (Academic)
Final Cut Pro 4 (Non-Academic, Upgrade version)
Will my ownership of any of these versions qualify me for the new $299 Final Cut Studio upgrade? And how does the upgrade work, does one just input their serial number from a previous version (I ask because none of my owned versions are currently installed)?
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated!

Not quite sure how your FCP4 upgrade works as the previous academic versions were not upgradable.
The Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade version requires a non academic, full retail (non-upgrade) FCP serial number as the basis for upgrading.
However, when in doubt about this, best to have a conversation with Apple directly as they are the ultimate authority on whether this will work or not.

Help Me about Final Cut Studio Upgrade.

I'm a student studied Editing in KOREA.
I had used Final Cut Studio 5.1 now.
and I wanted to upgrade FCP Studio 7. so I bought Final Cut Studio Upgrade 7 last week.
And then I tried to installed, and I sucessed upgrade once. but it was not perpectly.
So I re-installed from beginning(FCPS 5.1) yesterday.
But now I can upgrade to FCPS 7 from FCPS 5.1.
Because It said "My serial number is not vaild." again and again.
(so I did format my mac book pro. and I installed from beginning, Mac OS X, iLife, iWork...FCPS 5.1. But I have same problem."
I can't understand this situation. and I don't know the solution.
I'm sorry to no support line about software in KOREA. T.T
I need your help!!!!!!!

If your 5.1 version was an academic version, it is not eligible for upgrade.
But you say that the upgrade installed once, but not "perpectly" (whatever that means). Specifically, what went wrong with the first install?
By the way, you don't need to have the older version on your computer to install an upgrade; all you need is the serial number from a legal RETAIL copy. If you own a legal retail copy (not academic) and are still having installation problems, contact Apple.

Logic Studio (upgraded from express 7.2) on a laptop and tower??

Hi. I had Logic Express 7.2 and bought and installed the upgrade to Logic Studio on my MacPro Tower.
I am buying a MacBook Pro and would like to install Logic Studio on that, as well. I understand that the license for Logic Studio allows one tower and one laptop. Does that still apply in my case for the upgrade to Logic Studio? i.e., will I have to first install logic express 7.2 on the laptop then "upgrade" to Studio, or can i just install Studio on the macbook pro and run it on both machines? Hope that all made sense!!
Thanks,
Rob

You don't have to install Logic Express on your MacbookPro. Simply install Logic Studio. After you type your Logic Studio upgrade serial number, Logic will ask you for your original Logic Express serial number

Anyone have any idea where I can purchase FCP 7 Studio upgrade?

Anyone have any idea where I can purchase a new copy of FCP 7 Studio upgrade?

The two places I knew about have sold out. (fwiw - these were new retail, not upgrade). Your best bet may be finding someone on craigslist or ebay who is switching to Avid or Premiere and getting rid of the FCS suite. Buyer beware and all that.
Good luck,

Please help~~ about secondhand logic studio upgrade from express

i bought a logic studio 8 from ebay, its upgrade from logic express 7. the seller send me full package of logic studio 8 upgrade and one license label of the logic express 7 which stick on the license sheet of the logic studio 8. i did not get the full package of the logic express 7 but only get one license label of logic express 7. can i use this package of logic studio upgrade in my studio ?
the seller sell all the s/n for me include the license of express 7, but i only get the license label of express 7, is it enough to own the license of this logic studio ?

I'm afraid you may have to take this up with the seller, as it seems he didn't deliver what was listed for the bid. Because we are now on Logic 9, I'm unsure as to the effectiveness of updating past iterations of Logic. If all else fails, contact Ebay and/or Apple support.

Need to make space in my Hard drive to install Logic Studio Upgrade

ok. Here's my problem:
I have a 1st generation Mac Book Pro. That means 100Gb of storage.
I've been using it for professional audio recording since then with Logic Pro (6 or 7 I think) and I made necessary upgrades when they were available in both Mac book and Logic. So, now my Mac has 2.16 GHz processor, 2GB memory RAM and is running Mac OS X 10.6.3
When it comes to Logic, I am in Logic 8, trying to make the last upgrade of Logic Studio but looks like there's no more space available on my laptop. At this point, I moved any other data that I don't need. My Hard drive is almost full of a data that most of it supposedly needs to be replaced or skipped. I'm talking about additional content of audio coming on Jam Pack, etc... The installation program allow me to put some of the data in other hard drives (about 22.68 GB) but still is not enough.
Is there any way to solve this? May be uninstalling programs and data that later will be installed again with my upgrade? I don't want to make a mess before asking.
Probably is time to get a new computer. If this is the only option please somebody tell me! but if is not, I refuse to spend the money. My laptop is working fine...
Thank you
Fran

Well, first i would decide what you need the computer for. If you use iPhoto and iTunes, maybe moving the libraries to external HD may free up a significant amount of HD space.
Also, look for apps you don't need anymore, look for ancient data that can be zipped&archived away. That's a lot of work, but is worth the time, because you get to know what really is on your HD. I have so many small apps&tools lying around on my HD clogging space, but in fact i only used them once or twice in a lifetime, so better delete them.
BTW: Make sure you have enough space on your HD not only to install Logic studio but have some extra GB's for the OS to shuffle data around. No OS likes a full HD.
My strong suggestion would to give your Macbook to a trustworthy Mac store where they install a bigger HD and copy everything over to the new one.
