Upgrade for Studio 2 Academic

I have FCP Studio 1 Academic sitting on FCP 1-4. Need to upgrade to Studio 2 via Studio 2 upgrade ($699). Is a clean install the best route?
danke

It is my understanding that academic versions are NOT upgradeable.
A clean install is always the best way to go with FCP/FCS.

Howdy Biswajit,
The IMAQ and Vision ActiveX controls you are using with Visual Basic 6 do not install with Measurement Studio. They are installed when you install the IMAQ software and include support for Visual Studio 6. Upgrading to Measurement Studio 8.0.1 will have no effect on your IMAQ controls since they are not related to one another. Purchasing Measurement Studio Professional or Enterprise packages allows you Visual Studio 6 support for other ActiveX components. Refer to this link for a list of ActiveX components included in those packages.
If you are asking about using the ActiveX controls in .NET, then take a look at this KnowledgeBase entitled Do NI-IMAQ and NI Vision Support Microsoft Visual Studio .NET?
Hope this clarifies things!

Upgrading from Logic 7 Academic to 8 re:passwords & serial numbers

Today I bought the Logic 8 upgrade from the Apple store. When I tried to run the upgrade procedures
it asks for the Logic 7 Academic serial number. All I can locate is the XSKey Serial number and when I enter it says it is invalid. Is there another serial number hidden somewhere so I can get up and running on Logic 8?
Thanks

There are several ways to answer your post - let me have a go at three:
1) The serial number for Logic 7 is on the front of the "Installing Your Software" booklet that came with Logic 7
2) The normal installation process for Logic Studio allows for either serial number to be entered or for your XSKey to be plugged in, though several people have reported problems with this. Search the forums for "serial number" and you'll find plenty of posts like your own.
3) Your main concern, however, should be that you may not be eligible for an upgrade. Logic 7 Academic is (at least in the States) not a valid upgrade path to Logic 8. You have to buy a new licence and that means paying full price unless you still qualify for academic pricing. That ruling does not seem to apply worldwide and I've even heard of people in the States who have been able to upgrade from an Academic Logic 7 licence to Logic 8. SOmetimes they had a non-academic licence number, sometimes they had a non-academic XSKey. I did hear of someone who bought an upgrade as you did who was able to get their money back but there's no guarantee.
If you fall foul of number 3, don't shoot me - I'm only the messenger ;o)

Upgrading to universal from academic

I don't know if anyone will know the answer to this (I may just need to call the Apple Store) but I thought I'd post here first. I know Apple is offering an upgrade from FCP5 to FC Studio Universal for $99 in February, but does anyone know if this will cover the Academic version of FCP5? As I'm a college student with a budget, FCP5 for $200 (I guess my local bookstore had it mispriced because Apple Store listed it for $500) + $99 to upgrade to Studio looks like an amazing bargain. Anyone have any info on this or should I give the Apple Store a ring? Thanks!

For $199.00 you get the whole taco or Enchilada, or whatever.

Final Cut Studio 2 Academic

As an educator and producer, I am considering a purchase of Final Cut Studio 2 Academic version. Is this an exact copy of Final Cut Studio 2, or are some features omitted to offset cost reduction?

As a student, I can say that the academic price was right, but NOWHERE does the apple site say that it is non-upgradable. I was SO disappointed when I found out that I'll need to spend ANOTHER $600 just to buy ANOTHER piece of non-upgradable software. After two purchases it would've already been cheaper for me to just start with a full commercial version and get the cheaper updates. If you know you'll be upgrading in the future, I'd say get a commercial license. If you don't think you'll need to or will want to upgrade, go academic.
Good luck,
-Brian

Scared to upgrade to Tiger; will I have to purchase upgrades for my apps?

Hi,
I have been looking for info on application support for Tiger, and I am either looking in the wrong place or it does not exist, because have searched and have not found a definitive answer.
I work in the video industry and I have spent a lot of money on programs that I use all the time in my G4 PowerMac running 10.3.9.
I have:
Final Cut Pro HD;
DVD STudio Pro 3;
Adobe Photoshop CS
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX
Also, I have an old scanner that I love that DOES have support for OSX, but not Tiger specifically.
I am wondering if any or all of these apps work as is in Tiger or am I going to have to purchase upgrades for these programs to work with Tiger. Is there any where I can look up specific support issues for my apps before I upgrade and find out, "oops, that don't work here."
I was content to stay in Panther since why "fix what ain't broken", as they say, but I do feel I am getting left behind. All MAC mags I use to love to read for tips and tricks now only pertain to Tiger and widgets and spotlight look super cool.
Any help would be appreciated.
G4 PowerMac MDD 1.25 Ghz DP; 17 PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your apps are all going to work just fine. The scanner? Check for an update to the software. Probably be just fine.
Here's the thing, though. it sounds like you do not have a backup on an external. If not, all bets are off. You are jumping with no net. Good luck.

Final Cut express upgrade for intel macbook pro

I need help i used to have a G5 desktop and got DVD Studio Pro 3 and then i got Final Cut pro 4 with Upgrade, i try to install this software to the intel Macbook Pro wich i have 2 gig of memory, but if I install DVD Studio Pro 3 and Final Cut pro 4 it will run too slow and there is also the error pf agp graphic card missing i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster i need help on which is the best upgrade for the intel mac so i don't have to purchase the software again i saw on www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade there are some option i call apple and they told me to buy the Final Cut Pro 4 or HD (4.5)for $199.00 but i want to make sure this is what i need to do! help

Yes you need to crossgrade to 5.1
The offer only lasts until the end of December and after that it'll probably go back up to $699.
Also I wanted to point out that you're in the Final Cut Express forum asking about Final Cut Pro. Not a huge deal but in the future you might get better results asking Final Cut Pro related questions in the Final Cut Pro forum.
i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster
Your HP runs Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro faster?!? Huh...Bwa?!?
By this I assume you mean your HP runs comparative programs faster (Avid)

Upgrading to Studio 8

Hi,
I have a Web site that uses a dreamweaver template. In this
template, I've inserted 10 swf files. These files were created with
Studio MX and the swfs don't play correctly in IE 7 beta (they show
up with that grey border and I have to click them before they
work). 8 of these swf files are buttons that contain a movie that
is supposed to animate on mouseover. There is also a top button
that is supposed to animate on mouseover.
Here's my question: The Javascript code, provided as a fix,
is too difficult for me to use (I'm not a programmer) and I'm
wondering if upgrading to Studio 8 will allow me to update my site
so that I don't have to deal with the javascript? I want to just be
able to insert flash button swf and other swf and have them show up
in IE 7 beta without hassle.

I think, unfortunately, the answer to your question is "No,
upgrading will not help." The problem isn't with Flash, the problem
is with Microsoft and Active Content in general.
Why don't you try out Geoff Stearns' SWFObject:

Here's even a video tutorial on using it:

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

MCE DVD±R DL upgrade for Powerbook

I have seen a DVD±R DL drive upgrade for the powerbook on MCE's website for $150. I would like to know if anyone has this upgrade, and if it is any good, as I am looking into getting it!

How much does DVD-RAM cost compared to regular blank DVD's? Either one is a good buy. MCE's burns dual layers at 4x while OCW's burns dvd-rams. I guess it depends on which you'll be burning more.
I found this at Wikipedia, though I am not sure how up to date it is:
"The optical drives in Apple Macintosh computers do not support DVD-RAM operation, but a third party DVD-RAM-compatible drive can be connected and used with software such as DVD Studio Pro."

Issues after upgrading design studio 1.3

Hi Experts,
We have upgraded design studio version from 1.2 to 1.3. Before upgradation our application was working fine and we didnt get any error. After upgradation, during runtime we are getting 2 errors and a warning. We are getting the following errors while clicking “Sales chart tab” and we couldnt find the cause of the errors.
During runtime, we are getting the below warning message for a text box. We are displaying aggregated value of a keyfigure (undelivered quantity) in a text box using onload function in application properties and the scripts are as below.
var Qaunt0 = DS_4.getDataAsString("006EIO21E0Q3UY91YLO5Y0ATQ", {});
TEXT_1.setText(Qaunt0);

I was facing the same issue and was able to fix with the following steps.
- Login into Web tier box as The Administrator or same user which was
used to install BIP Web tier
- Stop TomcatRun Repair of the Design Studio install (BIP AddOn)
- After install stop tomcat if it started, go to tomcat/work directory
and delete everythign there
- Run wdeploy tomcat7 deployallStart Tomcat and wait 10 minutes
Hope this works.

Upgrading from Studio 1 to Studio 2

I'm about to upgrade from Studio 1 to 2 and wanted to know if there is anything I need to uninstall/delete before I do so. Basically, I know I can put in the discs as prompted, but am I duplicating a whole mess of files that I don't need to, or is it updating what it needs to and not creating tons of duplicate files. Also, what about the STP loops, LiveType files, etc. Am I going to have to delete the ones that came with FCP Studio 1 after the install?
Any advice would be great....
Steve

It appeared to add the new stuff, but I didn't do an exhaustive check since I don't use Soundtrack much. I've got lots of folders of "apple loops for sound tracks" but only unique ones in the library folders. I moved a bunch of stuff around some time ago (Final Cut Express, Garage Band, etc.)
The LiveType folders appear to be unique.
So, I'm surmising that I didn't get duplicates or old stuff eliminated, but just new stuff added / updated (there are some full 5.1 sound files).
I have tons of space on my system drive (500GB drive), so I tend to be a pack rat unless I get confusing lists of sounds, effects, etc. with duplicates. Then I clean up.

No upgrade to Studio now?

I've been running Final Cut Production Bundle version 4.5 for some time now and have been thinking about upgrading to Studio 5. However I have noticed that the upgrade does not seem to be available on the Apple ONLINE STORE here in the UK anymore.
I presume that this is because the new Universal version will be out soon but my question is...
Does anybody have an idea on if there is likely to be a direct upgrade path to the new version from the Production Bundle or should I upgrade to Studio 5 now whilst I still have the chance via stock held at my local Apple reseller?
Having only had a Mac for a few months I don't know what has been the norm in the past concerning skipping versions during upgrades.
Brian

Im in Edinburgh and I am about to buy the upgrade

Confused: Upgrading to Studio 2

I'm confused and feeling very stupid. I've been using Final Cut Studio, with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4. I just bought the upgrade for Final Cut Studio 2, but when I try to install it, the only application that's enabled is Color. All the others are grayed. When I hold the cursor over the grayed applications (to find out why it's not possible to install them), it says the current versions are old and need to be updated. But... that's why I bought the $499 upgrade! What am I missing? I feel very stupid.

With this upgrade, it is best not to install it over an existing install.
Clone your boot drive using Carbon Copy Cloner to another drive.
Then do a clean install of OS and updates and then FCS2 and updates.

Does logic 9 from the app store have everything that you would get if you were to buy it in the store?, and are you able to upgrade to studio later on?

Hi
Logic Studio is not available anymore, so unless you can find an "old stock" copy somewhere, you will never be able to upgrade in the future.
Logic Pro 9 has all the content from the Studio box available for download, with the exception of the 20G of Soundtrack Pro content. Soundtrack Pro is no longer available at all.
Logic Studio also contained several other applications: Mainstage, Compressor (available separately from the AppStore), Waveburner (no longer available), plus some other utilities.
