Upgrade from FC6 to FC7 is it required to make a clean install?

Hello
I have FC6 , if I buy the upgrade for FC7 do I need to install everything again as first time when I installed the whole suite of Final Cut Studio 2?. Is a clean install necessary or just the upgrade will be faster?
Is it really worth it to upgrade to FC7?. I am kind of skeptical of upgrades due to some previous bad experiences of regular upgrades of Motion 3
I will appreciate any tips you might have.
Thank you

I have very Good News.
Sunday morning I get a call from Apple Store, and with info I left
in an email earlier that morning, they had me come in and exchange
v6 with v7.
I was quite pleased when I showed up,
that I added a full version of Shake for only a couple hundred extra.
Now the tricky part.
I'm not sure how to do this now.
Everything just received is still in the shopping bag from Apple.
I suspect I have to remove v6, but not sure if uninstall is part of it.
I wonder, with having 4- 1TB drives, could I load Shake on clean drive #3,
and v7, then deal with v6 removal on drive #1?
Or does having the application on drive 3 force multiple drives to
gain access to photos and clips on drive 2.
Maybe it's not a big deal, as drive 1 would have to do the same thing.
I'm still sorta a rookie on the beast.
Maybe I have to do what was said earlier to the other persons post.
Anyone in the Mpls area specialize in MacPro?
Thanks

I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo Edit In Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?

You might also ask for help in the Lightroom forum.
What I have found is that when I upgraded from PSE12 to 13, my Lightroom 5.6 still selected PSE12 in the list of external editors. I had to use the preferences menu to select the right PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13 folder. I got a message stating that Photoshop Elements was already selected as external editor. In that message box, there is a button with the option to 'change anyway', which I did. Now LR correctly opens PSE13 when I choose Edit in Elements.

Try using one of the 2 links in the right sidebar. One under Categories and one under Free.
Try booting into the Safe Mode. If that doesn't work, set up another admin user account and try from there.

Will an upgrade from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard make me loose programs?

I have an old 2007 Macbook pro and I need to upgrade from Tiger OS 10.4.11 to either leopard of Snow leopard because my charger broke and the new charger does not work probably in the older laptops unless you firmare update (which I cannot do as my OS is less than 10.5)
My question is: Will upgrading wipe all the files and programs from my laptop? I have programs that I no longer have the discs, to install them with, for so if they get wiped I will be unable to get them back and they are programs I need on a daily basis. I was just wondering what upgrading from tiger to leopard will actually involve? Will I loose all files/programs so it would be like starting from scratch with a new computer? Or would it not change these things?

Buy an external drive (or two).
Clone your system before you begin.
Repair the drive while at it, Apple First Aid and another 3rd party program.
Make sure you can boot from your backup clone.
Apple Restore is part of Disk Utilty or there is SuperDuper, or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Me, I would take the above precautions. Then I would format your drive with SL DVD, and perform and clean install. Do all the updates. Then use Setup or Migration Assistant.
Look for threads, there seems to be 4-5 a week at least on Migrating, going from 10.4 or from PPC to 10.6.
That is the safest. In theory, and YMMV, you could try upgrade in place, but not without backups, and repairing your drive with SL DVD first.

Upgrading From Final Cut Pro 5 to 6 - can you use full install disk?

Hi,
I have one MacBook Pro running Final Cut 6 (with Final Cut Studio 2), and another one running Final Cut Pro 5 (with Final Cut Studio). We're looking to upgrade the second one to Final Cut Studio 2.
Does anyone know if the upgrade can be done with the disks from the full install box of Studio 2, using the product key from an upgrade? We happen to be in the middle of East Africa at the moment, so shipping is an issue...
Thanks

You CAN install Final Cut Studio with only the upgrade disk set BUT you will need the product key for BOTH the Final Cut Studio 2 AND the previous version.
After you insert the Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade installation disk you will first be asked to input the product key for the upgrade version and then after you will be requested for the product key of the previous version.
After this, the installation process does NOT require any disks from the previous version of Final Cut Studio.

Upgrade from windows vista to windows 7. No audio devices are installed.

Monitor with built in speakers= HP w2007
Desktop= HP Pavillion a6050e
Did support chat with microsoft and they cannot solve the issue.
Running the original disc that came with the monitor did no solve the issue. Running it in vista compatibility did not solve the issue either.
Tried to update from HP support drivers for vista and it didn't not solve the issue.
There are no driver updates fround for windows 7 in hp support.
-audio symbol in task bar shows red x
-device manager shows: other devices/multimedia audio control/the drivers for this device are not installed. (code 28)
----when i try to update the driver it says windows cannot find driver software for your device.
Please help, this is frustrating.

after hours of dealing with microsoft suppor and HP support I got annoyed and tired. I then decided to check out the bios and figured out the solution myself!!!!
when booting computer do F10 setup. Change the audio from auto to enabled. Then the computer recognizes the audio device and installs updates. right click on the audio icon in the taskbar and select playback devices then pick your device.
What a waste of a day..... hopefully this helps out other people and HP/Microsoft needs to put this on their support site.

Upgrading from OSX 10.58 to 10.6 - any problems with previously installed software anyone?

I was wondering if anyone had had any problems with their current software after installing 10.6? (I'm asking because I have a substantial investment in the Adobe Creative Suites and don't want to lose it.) Has anyone had any problems after installing 10.6? Thank you in advance for any replies.

I would check the Adobe web site to see if it will be compatible. If there is an issue you may consider a partitioned HDD and run the two OSs each on separate partitions.
Ciao.

How do I delete Photoshop Elements from my PC - EVERYTHING - so I can do a totally clean install

I did not use adobe to backup and got a new hard drive (actually a SSD). Old hard drive is now F (was C). Have worked with Adobe. No success. Catalogs are messed up because they use the unique identifier of the old hard drive. I have given up trying to fix this and just want to start over so Elements doesn't establish a new catalog that is messed up just like the old catalogs. Where is this information stored besides in the elements database. I have, I think, deleted all versions on my PC and all catalogs I can find, then reinstalled and got a bad catalog again. HELP. I just want to start all over. I have a PC with Windows 7. It has had a number of editions of elements (6,10,13) on the this PC over the last 5 years. Thanks. Paul

Hello Paul,
I would first suggest trying to reset the default preferences of Photoshop Elements to see if that would fix your issue.
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.
Do one of the following:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
However, if you want to delete it entirely you can start by running the uninstaller or then ensuring all files were deleted manually.
Run the uninstaller
Close all applications.
Choose Start > Control Panel or Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Do one of the following:
Windows 7, Vista: If the Control Panel is in a Control Panel Home view, then click Uninstall A Program under Programs.
Windows 7, Vista: If the Control Panel is in Classic View, then double-click Programs And Features.
In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, and then click Uninstall or Remove.
Click next.
Click Remove, and then follow the remaining onscreen instructions to complete the removal.
Remove Separate Files
Note: Some of the folders below are hidden. By default, Windows Explorer does not display hidden files and folders. To show these hidden folders, see Show hidden files, folders, and filename extensions.
Stop the Watch Folders service
The Watch Folders service runs in the background on your computer. The service detects photos that you add to folders that are on the Organizer's watch folder list. If this service is running, then you can't remove all of the folders listed in the next section.
Choose Start > Run (Windows XP) or click Start (Windows 7 and Vista).
Type services.msc and then press Enter.
In the list of services, locate Adobe Active File Monitor V10. If it is not listed, this section.
Right-click Adobe Active File Monitor V10, and then do one of the following:
Choose Stop from the pop-up menu. Proceed to the next step.
If Stop is unavailable (it is dimmed), then the service is already stopped. Proceed to the next step.

I'm about to upgrade to Lion on my Mac soon and would like to make a backup of all my bookmarks, passwords and other settings in firefox to be able to make a clean install of the new OS, how do I do that?

Well, Ihave a lot of passwords for different sites that Firefox keep track of so that I don't have to remember them all when I need to log in on these webpages. Also I have a lot of bookmarks. How do I make a backup of all of this data so that I can make a clean install of the new Lion, install Firefox 5 and then use this backup to return Firefox to the same level as before? Also, I want to be able to have a backup file of all this in case of a crash. Is this possible, and if not maybe a function for the future?

Insufficient Hard Drive Space in Windows 7 after upgrading from XP Bootcamp

I just upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 via bootcamp with success; however, I find the hard drive space diminished. I originally had 32gb partition for xp and continued to use that allocation space since my macbook pro has about only 120 gb total space. I never checked how much space I had from the beginning but now after I installed several applications such as norton, skype, yahoo messenger, etc., I have about 1 gb left free looking at "my computer". I've looked around and found that the minimal requirement for windows 7 is 16 gb. That does not make sense that I have 32 gb and am now left with just 1 gb with just basic programs installed and I do mean basic; no huge programs since I just use my mac as a "leisure" laptop. Please help! I tried googling and looking for answers in discussion boards and can't find an answer.

I don't ever recall seeing 16GB in all my reading. Okay, yes for 32-bit but that really seems... misleading unless Home Basic.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/system-requirements.aspx
As for how large, depends on a number of things like how much RAM, page file, hibernation, temp files, etc. More for 64-bit than 32-bit. The amount needed for rollback drivers, restore points, should also be taken into account. Thumbnails and cache, too.
I use 64-bit version, consumes 65GB, and I really don't have much, and all my data, installers and updaters and such are kept on another hard drive, not the system drive.
At least you can't normally "upgrade" from XP to 7, you have to do a custom clean install so you shouldn't have anything left behind or in Windows.old
I wouldn't install Norton. MSSE is fine, all you need (I did use beta's of Norton 360 v.3 and others too).

I am stuck in Windows 8 after upgrading from XP sp3.

I upgraded while in windows not thinking. I now realize I should have used bootcamp assistant (although Win 8 is not supported).
My problem is I can't boot back into mac os. I hold down the Alt. key during start up but no luck. I can't find any start up disk options in windows.

Can I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.3 and recover the entire hard disk with time machine?

Dear apple users,
I am about to upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.3, so I'm making a TM backup with an external drive. I want to format the HDD on my mac to get a fresh start with the new OS. However, I am a little worried that I might not be able to transfer all the files from my 10.5.8 system to my 10.6.3 (the same computer) I don't have that many programs that I am worried about, but I don't want to loose all the photos.
Will there be a problem if I try to recover the computer from my TM? Or is this just a problem that I have created in my own head?
best regards
Anton

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I highly recommend you to upgrade first. An upgrade shouldn't give you problems, so you will save a lot of time if the upgrade goes well (it should).
If not, then make a clean install. You can restore the Time Machine backup without any problem after installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard, because Time Machine doesn't restore system files. However, you have to restore the Time Machine after installing Mac OS X, when your computer asks you to restore the backup

Problems upgrading from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger

I am having problems upgrading my Mac 500mhtz which currently runs Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther). It starts the installation process, I choose the language that I want (EnglisH) then the next screebbn says " Alert - Thius software cannot be installed on this computer" . The options I have is Resart or Startup Disk . I don't understand whythis happening becasue I meet the requirements. I have about 6 gigs of space ti stall and from what I read Tiger needs 3 gigs. I have loked through many forums and have not found the answer to my question. Does anybody know the answer to this solution. I have also backed up my User profile and are planning on doing a clean install once when installing Tiger.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
That error frequently appears if you don't use the retail Tiger installer discs. Mac OS X installer discs are system specific or retail versions. You don't want to install another Mac's installer discs, for reasons my FAQ states here:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html#SYSTEMSPECIFIC
I'd also look that whole FAQ over and see whether or not you really are ready for an upgrade.
In addition, there is no such thing as a "clean install". Here are the various types of installation options available:

Is it still possible to upgrade from cs5 web premium to cs5.5 ?? If so, where and how?

I can't find any reference regarding upgrading from cs5 to cs5.5
My reason is so i can install the DMXzone Bootstrap extension which requires Dreamweaver cs5.5 (11.5)
Can anyone help please?
Many Thanks

CS5.5 is no longer sold by Adobe so you can no longer upgrade to it. You can upgrade to CS6 since that is still being sold.
Purchase CS6 products:
