Updating Final Cut Studio

I updated to Final Cut Studio 5.1 and registered it. When Updates became available I went to the update page signed in and put in the serial number as usual and I got the message: (YOU APPEAR TO HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE FINAL CUT STUDIO UPDATE).
Each time an update comes out for FCP Studio 5.1 now I am unable to get into the page to update my software. The page acknowledges I have registered the software but all I get is the message and can't move any furthur. I just wiped out my entire hard drive and did a new installation of all my software and I still have the problem. My system is stock with no 3rd party added hardware and no Virus software.
Who do I contact to get it fixed?
Any help will be appreciated

I started having problems as soon as the first update came out for FCP 5.1. I was unable to get into the download page. I got the same message then as I get now. (YOU APPEAR TO HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE FINAL CUT STUDIO UPDATE). I downloaded the updates and did not have software update install the updated. I saved them to the hard drive. When I tried to apply the updates several would not install ( FCP 5.1.2, Motion 2.1.2 and both Pro App updates). I Finall got the software updated by using Software Update to "Install" each update. Downloading to disk and then updating did not work.
I hope I answered your question?

Can't update final cut studio 5.0.1 to 5.0.4

I am trying to upgrade my original version of final cut studio to 5.0.4. I have scoured the web for info and have tried everything to force the update. I've downloaded the 5.0.4 update file from apple. The installer window prompt tells me: THIS INSTALLER PACKAGE NEEDS TO RUN A PROGRAM TO DETERMINE IF IT CAN BE INSTALLED. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE. When I continue I get: FinalCutPro5.0.4Update cannot be installed on this computer. This updater is only able to update an existing Final Cut Pro 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, or 5.0.3 application. Please make sure the application is located in the Applications folder, and is called "Final Cut Pro". My hardrive apps folder has a file called 'Final Cut Pro HD' (it's 5.0.1). Then someone told me to move the original pkge file from the library to desktop to prompt the updater. Nothing seems to allow me to upgrade? I'm running OSX 10.3.9 and was running Quicktime 7.1.6 Now because Apple tech support told me to run the updater on everything so that Final Cut might be recognized I upgraded to 7.4.5 I hope I'm not going to regret the QuickTime upgrade? I need 5.0.4 because 5.0.1 is not recognizing my P2 files.

Thanks to you both, I found the misplaced booklets with the new serial number and am in the process of installing right now.
I've gotten so many new toys in the past couple months it's been difficult to keep everything straight...but what a great problem to have!

Updating Final Cut Studio 2.01 and workflow between FCP and AE

Hi. I am currently working in FCE 3.5 and am considering purchasing Final Cut Studio 2.01 (new and sealed) as opposed to the latest version since I am running a PowerPC G5. Am I assured of being able to download all the updates for Final Cut Pro 6 and exactly which version would be the latest and final one? Was there ever an FCP v6.5? I do mainly animation/motion graphics and work in After Effects (along w/ Flash, Carrara, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). I understand that the workflow between FCP (as opposed to FCE) and AE is greatly enhanced. Can someone give me an idea of what advantages this new workflow will offer in terms of what I'll be able to accomplish that I can't do now w/ FCE? Also, any other comments on how FCP (as compared to FCE) will benefit me as an animator will be greatly appreciated. Lastly, am I correct in assuming that I will be able to open my FCE 3.5 project files in FCP 6 but not visa versa? Thanks. Jack.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I see that I will need some 3rd-party support in order to realize the benefit of a Final Cut Pro/After Effects workflow. Have another question. What are the kinds of filters that you can keyframe in FCP but not in FCE? And are there many filters in FCP that are not included w/ FCE? As I deal mainly w/ animation as opposed to footage of live video I am trying to justify the investment in Final Cut Studio 2 in terms of it being a benefit to me as an animator. I currently use FCE 3.5 (which includes versions of SoundTrack and LiveType) and After Effects CS3 plus other graphics programs. I would love to be able to work within DVD Studio Pro as iDVD is so limiting as an authoring program but am not sure how much I will benefit from switching from FCE to FCP. This is what I am trying to nail down.

Update final cut studio

Hi,
Im working with a final cut studio 6.01 and I would like to know if I have to pay for the update to 6.04?
does the serial number that I have when I bought 6.0 works for 6.04?
thanks

UPDATES are free. You can usually tell an update because only the last of the 3 numbers changes.
UPGRADES you pay for. Usually the first or second number in the name changes.
I think I've got it right this time. Last time I wrote about them I got Updates and Upgrades mixed up!

Final Cut Studio crash after OS 10.6.5 update

10.6.5 and Final Cut Studio.
Final Cut studio is not working after 10.6.5 update. Have spinning ball of death on many projects and exports from FCP crash Compressor and DVD Studio Pro (or they crash of their own accord)
Question: Reinstall FCP??
Question: is anything lost when deleting current FCS??
Do not want to roll back to previous OS. Have done too much stuff since, and it's complicated.

Question: Reinstall FCP??
As a last resort, maybe. Have you tried using Disk Utility to repair permissions?
Did you install the ProKit 6.0.1 update? There are some threads here that advise not to do so.
You can find out by opening the Software Update pane in System Preferences and looking under the Installed Updates tab.
Question: is anything lost when deleting current FCS??
The applications, accompanying media content, associated libraries etc will be removed. You will not lose project files or media that you have imported from cameras or other sources.

*** Help finding update for FInal Cut Studio

I'm running FCP 5.0.4 but need to be on the version my new editor is using (5.1.3). I've tried to go to the Apple site, and I've downloaded the 5.1.3 update, but it won't let me update unless I do some updates in between which I can't find.
Can anyone send me the links I need to get from 5.0.4 to 5.1.3?

It's really important to keep your discs. Ignoring this crossgrade issue, what would you have done had your system drive crashed and you'd simply had to reinstall the software? Always keep your original software discs somewhere safe.
As to the 'unusual and unreasonable' issue, you're not the first or last to complain about this - none of us were very happy about it. But remember that Final Cut Studio when installed is about a 35GB suite of applications and media. There's simply no way that would have been doable by Apple as a download. Imagine the number of people who's connections would have dropped during the download, or who simply don't have the bandwidth to download something that large?
Some things are best done the old way! Anyway - try the XML sequence exchange I mentioned above, that'll save you the money, hassle AND the time.

Update Final Cut Pro Studio 7

OK I re installed again Final Cut Studio 7.0
But I know the latest version is 7.0.3
How can I get this download?
Apple does not has it anymore.
Thanks for all help I can get

It's here:
Pro Applications Update 2010-02

Final Cut Studio Fail After Pro Application Update 2010-1

Final Cut Pro crashes when loading project.
Motion crashes when loading project.
Compressor won't allow me to "submit" my batch from the 'name batch' stage.
I didn't try DVD Studio or Color.
Problems started as soon as I updated. Anyone else have similar problems? I tried dumping my system preferences but that didn't help. I haven't modified or customized FCS at all, I don't have any unusual plugins - I hardly even set up customized window configurations.
Using latest Final Cut Studio (MB642Z/A)
Final Cut Pro 7.0
Compressor 3.5
Motion 4
Running OS X 10.6.2
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 21.5" iMac
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Thank you for any feedback. If others have similar problems, I can wait for next update (hopefully soon) otherwise I have no clue where to start.

FINAL CUT STUDIO APPS. WONT ALLOW UPDATE

HI,
I HAVE FINAL CUT STUDIO 5.0 INSTALLED IN MY MAC PRO. I DOWNLOADED ALL UPDATES (FINAL CUT 5.1.2, ETC) WHEN I GO TO INSTALL, IT SAYS IT CANT FIND ANY PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF FINAL CUT INSTALLED , EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE RIGHT THERE IN MY APPLICATION FOLDER....
ANY IDEAS
THANKS

the upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1 is not a downloadable upgrade. Search the forum for "cross-grade."

Final Cut Studio 2: needing to update older version before install

I am trying to install FCS 2 upgrade from FCS, but it tells me I have an older version and that it "needs to be updated" before I can continue. The manual says that "To avoid compatibility issues, the Final Cut Studio installer requires you to update all Final Cut Studio applications to the version included with Final Cut Studio 2." I am not sure what this means, since I am just now installing FCS 2. I've read the messages here about upgrading from FCP 5.0.4, my FCP version, to 5.1 via a crossgrade on disks from Apple. Does this mean that I need to buy this crossgrade before I can finish the upgrade to FCS 2? This requirement is not listed on the FCS 2 box, but I can't seem to find anything else that would "update" my older version. And is this true for each of the other applications in the suite?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No, you don't need to buy the crossgrade. I just updated the PPC version of FCS to FCS2 yesterday. (I had transferred these applications over to my new Intel Mac from a G5 even though I knew they wouldn't run on the Intel Mac until I could update with the Universal version). What I did end up having to do was to manually delete everything from the PPC installation (applications, preferences, application support files, etc.). Then install from the FCP2 disks, having your old FCP registration number ready to enter in the dialogue box that comes up when you try to upgrade. While the installer says you are upgrading, in fact it installs the new universal versions of the applications.

Final Cut Studio 2 Update Security -- Putting Serial # in for "Update"

I am still working with FCP Studio and FCP 5. I have heard that when I purchase FCP Studio 2 with FCP 6, the first time I go do a "Software Update" it will ask for the Serial # for the FCP Studio 2. Is that true? I am just curious. I have already ordered FCP Studio 2. Will it always ask for the Serial # when I do an "Update?" Is there any other security upgrades from Final Cut Studio 1?
Thanks in Advance

Software update has nor required this.
But downloading the items manually from the Apple update site for FCS2 does require this.
Don't know of any "security updates" for FCS? What are you referring to?
There are some for the OS, etc.

Final Cut Studio 5 not updating in software update

I have final cut studio 5, which I upgraded to from FCP4 through their update program and 199.00. When I run software update, no updates show up for any of the pro applications.
When I had FCP4 on my old computer, the updates used to show up and I could install all of them directly from software update. I know that their are updates, cause I can manually download them off of the apple site, but they never show up in software update. does anyone know why this would be happening?
Could it be a confliction due to some sort of registration issue? or does apple just not use software update as a means of updating the pro applications anymore? Thanks in advance for any help.

I am running version 5.1 It just dawned on me that I have all of my pro apps in a folder called "final cut studio" does software update seach the applications folder to see if certain apps are installed, a if so, would this be why it isn't seeing it and not showing the updates?

Final Cut Studio - no access to Updates..

hello,
I installed my copy of Final Cut Studio it runs well (except Motion2) but if I try to upgrade it to the latest FCS 1 version of the software the installer on the website asks me for my Apple ID - but I dont know which one I used for installing my company software - it's for sure not my personal Apple ID.
so how can I get info about the company Apple ID name that i might have used whe installing it originally?
please let me know - I still have to use FCP 5.0.1 - and there is a software update available even for FInal Cut Studio (not the 2nd version of it)
Please let me know - thnkas,
roman

Your Apple ID is the same one you use to log on to these discussions.
You enter that first to get access.
Then you need your Final Cut Studio number to download.
Have you tried using "Software Update" ?

Final Cut Studio update and FCPX

So I've not noticed until now, but I now have a need for it. I need to update my Final Cut Studio 3 to the latest Pro App update. I have an editing gig that is requiring me to use FCP7 but I recently installed it to my new Macbook Pro and it's really unstable. I've had it crash on me way too many times.
However, I have FCPX on my laptop as well. When I tried updating the Studio using the Pro Apps, update, it said it installed, but when I check the versions, it made no changes! So I'm wondering how I can actually update my Final Cut Studio 3 suite while I still have the FCPx and new Motion and Compressor installed on the same computer....
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Justin

ML should have no effect as I have both versions installed with no problems.
Which app are you trying to update?
You should use Software Update for FCS 3
What version have you got?
Do a "Get Info"
