Trying to upgrade to Studio 2! Help!

Hello... I am just trying to upgrade my FCP Studio to Studio 2. It keeps asking for original software serial number. I cannot find it anywhere, a FORMER employee had reign over all our software. Tried to find original discs and/or install book for #. How can I recover the original serial number??? I tried the serials from the individual apps (i.e FCP, DVD SP, etc.) those do not work. HELP!
Kevin

My problem is we cannot find the booklet mentioned that would have the SN in it. The fellow employee was fired and extremely bitter so I cannot expect much help from him. It was the first version of Final Cut Studio... and I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 (upgrade). He should have registered when first purchased, but no way of knowing since it is impossible to get through to Apple Support to check. I was hoping there might be a file hidden somewhere within the program I could access to gain the SN.
This is a pain!
Thanks for all your advice so far!

  • HT4623 I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says ' Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS. Help any

    I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says " Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS to IOS6. Help anyone?

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

  • Got an error message while trying to upgrade to ISO4! Help!!!

    I have upgraded my 3G phone with ISO4 software upgrade as requested by the system. The phone activation failed as Apple could not activate at that stage. Now my phone will not cut on, it stays on the Apple screen. I tried to restore the Iphone and it gave me another error message (unknown error 21). Help

    I too have the same problem, was upgrading to ISO4 great until it was reinstalling the back up, has completely stopped working, just keeps trying to reboot itself, it appears in itunes but you can not do anything with it not even restore to factory settings! Was upgrading on a new computer as was having difficulties with a laptop and 7 yr old xp desk top, do I dump the iphone or take it to an Apple shop (not that they care!) tried restoring on 3 computers same message!

  • HT1338 I have a Power Mac G5 running 10.4 and am trying to upgrade OS.  Need Help.

    I have a Power Mac G5 with an OS 10.4; what upgraces are available?

    Leopard 10.5.8 is the last operating system a PowerPC Mac can be upgraded to.
    Everything else newer requires Intel.
    The DVD for Leopard are getting expensive since Aple has stopped producing them.

  • Error when trying to upgrade SQL Azure database using DAC Package in MGMT Studio - "Unexpected XML Content"

    Hi there,
    I am trying to upgrade a database running in SQL Azure from my local dev box which is running SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp1 (Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64))
    I extract the dac with no problems from my local database. However, when I try to upgrade the Azure db I get the below error.
    This error occurs just after I browse to select the dac package and click open in the browse window. I.e. It happens before I actually try and apply this dac to the Azure database. Something is going wrong, presumably, when the package is parsed by management
    studio.
    I am running Visual Studio 2010 Premium Sp1 if that matters, plus all the various updates required for Azure development..
    Thanks for your help!

    Hey there, and apologies for the lack of response.  Are you still having this issue and still needing help?
    Thanks Guy

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You have a hardware problem.

  • Tried to Upgrade to Yosemite - Mac Got Locked! - HELP!!!

    Today I tried to upgrade my late 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina from Mavericks to Yosemite. After launching the installation, the computer restarted and within 30 seconds it displayed a screen asking for a four-character password and the following message "Enter your system lock PIN code to unlock this Mac."! I cannot bypass this screen and I have no clue what this password might bemas I never set one.
    I called Apple Canada and was with them for four hours on the phone. No result other than the fact that my computer appears to be iCloud locked. I only remember experimenting and trying to lock it once through my iClold account 6-8 months ago and the procedure had no effect on the Mac at that time (although it locked my iPnone and iPad). The Apple guy thinks that that the very old command might have activated now. But how do I unlock it my computer now?
    On the phone, Apple advised me to go to an Apple Store to see the Genius Bar. But the earliest appointments are available on Wednesday next week and Saturday I need to fly to the UK on business for a week and all my work files and presentations I need to make are on the locked computer.
    What has Apple done to my computer? How could they lock me like this out of my data? Please let me know what do I have to do to recover access to my computer and data as soon as possible?
    Many thanks.

    I did the same thing, I realised what I did wrong after it was too late and ended up with the 'white no entry sign' on the black screen.
    I did manage to sort it, but because the solution happened so fast, I can't recall the exact details, but here is a general guide:  Please read all of this before following the sequence I went through.
    After much messing around searching the net on another machine and getting nowhere I decided to do a re-install the system.  I started the Mac holding down Command-R.  I then opted to re-install the software thinking that I was going to lose everything.  I clicked on the Install button and it would not let me re-install the system because the drive was locked.  This turned out to be an amazing stroke of luck.
    I then went to Time Machine out of curiosity more than anything else, and this is where I can't remember exactly what happened.  I think I went to see if there were any backup, knowing there was not! but it gave me the option to 'unlock' the drive.  I did this, immediately shutdown and re-started and I was then able to get back in as normal.  I then went straight into Filevault and made sure that it was switched off.
    I hope that helps.

  • Tried to upgrade my phone online using Loyalty Discount - Online sales Rep no help

    I tried to upgrade my phone online to take advantage of the online discount and also use  a loyalty discount.  The price of the phone is correct until it I get to checkout, the loyalty discount is then removed and only the online discount is applied.  I IM the online sales rep, but the person was of no help, telling me that all discounts had been applied.  After about 15 to 20 minutes of trying to explain that the loyaly discount was being removed at checkout, I just gave up and cancelled the order.
    I later tried it again, only to have the same problem and the same result from the online sales rep.
    What good is a loyaly discount if you can't use it?
    I am not sure if this is by design or if there is a glitch in the site, but the sales rep could not see my loyalty discount on my account and could not explain why this was happening.
    Do I need to go to a store to take advantage of the loyalty discount?

    Thanks

    It may depend on the type of store you go to.  Corporate stores are different from third-party retailers (who often carry cell products other than Verizon as well).  I would say call the specific store you plan to go to and ask before you go.

  • What do I do now that Photoshop CC has encountered an error while trying to upgrade. Suggesting retry does nothing. The numbers (49) appear, but I don't know what that signifies. Help?

    It is recommended that I ask for help, which put me here. What I really need is some customer service — not a chat room!

    Quit Creative Cloud desktop application .
    Launch Photoshop cc 2014 application from C: > Program Files > Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 .
    Once launched , click on Help menu in Photoshop cc 2014 and select Updates option .

    Launch Photoshop cc 2014 application from Applications folder:

    Error 49 occurs while updating the application , when Creative Cloud app  does not have reference / Access to installed CC app, so that it can apply updates for the same .
    You can try to update from CC app  like Photoshop itself and check.

  • I am trying to upgrade my PC iTunes to 10.6 iget an error message that states an older version of bonjour canot be removed contact your tech support group. Can someone help?

    I am trying to upgrade my PC to iTunes to 10.6 version, and i get an error message that states the older version of Bonjour cxanot be removed contact your support group. Can anyone help.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • I have Itunes 10- i am usinf windows 7- i am trying to upgrade my itouch 64gb 4.2.1 to ios5 - but keep getting an error meassage at he end saying check network connection- timing out- yet network is on??? Help!

    i have itouch 64gb, i have itunes 10 loaded -trying to upgrade to Ios5 - at the end of the long dowload is says- chack network connection-=  network times out- yet network is on as is Ipod- whats up?

    I'm not certain thats the problem. I stopped antivirus, I set screensaver to NOT trigger and yet it took me FOUR DAYS to completely sync my ipod touch. Stupid me decided to try it with the iPad and guess what...it's been three days and STILL timing out.
    I don't think Steve Jobs died; I think they upgraded him to iOS5, he crashed and they could not restore him.
    THIS UPGRADE *****. They rushed it out the door to get the fancy-dancy voice command thing on the iphones and yet that feature does not help ipod or ipad users.

When i use the installation disc it tells me that the serial number is located in one of the installation booklets, and it doesn't explain to me which one. Can you help me?
