Upgrade to G5 and FCP 5 from a series of FCP upgrades, 1 through 4

I will be upgrading to FCP 5 on a new G5. I bought FCP 1.1, and have steadily upgraded to FCP 2, 3 and 4. Since the new G5 will NOT have OS9, and since I would need OS9 to install FCP 1.1 in order to upgrade to 2, 3, 4, etc., will I be forced to buy a FULL version of FCP 5, rather than simply upgrading? Has anyone else worked around this problem? Thanks, Michael Lengel

If you've bought the Final Cut Studio Upgrade, then
you'll need the serial numbers for all the apps that
were in Produciton Suite.
Production Suite consisted of FCP HD, Motion 1, DVDSP
3.
An FCP 1, 2, or 3 serial number will not allow an
upgrade to Final Cut Studio. Only an FCP HD serial
number (which is the same as an FCP 4 serial number.)
I'm afraid this is not entirely accurate, Brian.
If you're buying the $499 FC Studio upgrade (aka 'from Production Suite'), then yes, you'll need to provide the serial numbers for the 3 apps.
However, if you're buying the $699 FC Studio upgrade (aka 'from any verision of FCP'), then all you'll need to provide is your original, standalone FCP serial number.
In my case, was the latter (upgrade from FCP) and my original serial number is from FCP 3. Since I did an erase and install of Tiger prior to installing FC Studio (aka no FCP on my system, just like a fresh G5), I was only asked for my FCP serial number. I plugged in my FCP 3 SN and was good to go.
Of course, my original reply reflected the fact that Michael only mentions upgrading to FCP 5. (You're saying that path is different than upgrading to Studio, Brian?)

  • Upgrading MRS Tools and Services from lower releases to 2007

    Hi,
    We have upgraded our CRM Mobile Repository Server to CRM 2007 (see
    details below) and we are trying to upgrade the MRS Tools and Services
    from lower releases to 2007 SP02 as per "SAP CRM Mobile 2007 SP02 -
    Component Upgrade Guide. However, the setup.exe is not upgrading the
    Mobile Repository tools as mentioned in the guide (page 34), but it is
    giving option to install Mobile client. As per the guide, the setup.exe
    program should perform the operations automatically, but it not doing
    the same.
    Any idea why it is trying to install Mobile Client instead of MRS Tools & Services?
    Source:
    CRM 4.0 SP08
    Windows 2000
    SQL Server 2000
    Target:
    CRM 2007 SP02
    Windows 2000
    SQL Server 2000
    Regards
    Chandu
    P.S : I have also opened OSS message, but any thoughts in this regard would be appreciated.

    Hello Chandu
    There are 2 scenarios post MAR upgrdae
    1. When an MDW is installed on the same host that contains the MAR,
    2. When an MDW is not installed on the same host that contains the MAR,
    In both the scenarios, you would run setup.exe present in \Mobile_Client_Upgrade\UpgradePurposeOnly
    folder.
    If the machine is of scenario 1, setup.exe would upgrade MDW along with MRS tools and services. So it will give options to install Mobile client as well.
    If the machine is of scenario 2, It would setup.exe would upgrade MRS tools and services only.
    In your case, I am sure you have 4.0 MDW machine which you are upgrading to CRM 2007 SP 02. So It comes under scenario 1 which i have explained above. There is nothing worng happening with setup.exe
    Best Regards

  • No sms or photos after upgrading to IOS7 and restoring from IOS6 backup

    In preparation for uprading to IOS7 on my IPhone 5, using Itunes 11.1.1.11, I performed a full backup of my device, which was at IOS6 to my computer. Given the issues I'd heard from other people, I then did a factory reset of my phone.  Using ITunes, I then did the upgrade, and when asked about restoring data, selected the only backup available in the list.
    When this had completed, to my horror, I had no photos, videos, contacts, email and settings or SMS messages that I had assumed had been backed up previously. All that was on my phone was my apps and music.
    How do I get my missing data onto my phone from the backup that I took?

    razmee209 I have restored from iTunes, I don't have it backed up to iCloud.
    When I was restoring, it kept going in a loop, after the phone restarted the status bar showed only a tiny bit completed and then that screen disappeared and went back to the "Hello" screen which eventually took me back to the screen asking if I wanted to set up as new phone or restore. After many many attempts I then elected to set up as a new phone and after a little time the contacts, apps, music, calendar etc where all there (although games have reverted back to the beginning) unfortuantely I have no messages and no photos (well a few that had been saved to iCloud).
    I have restored to factory settings several times, I have uninstalled iTunes several times and did it step by step in the correct order and then re-installed.
    I am at a loss as to what to do next, help please
    PS I did the final backup last night

  • Import video and audio from a dvd into FCP

    Is there an easier way to import video and audio into Final Cut Pro - I am playing it on a DVD player and making a digital tape of it. Then logging and capturing it into FCP.

    Hello and welcome to the forum!
    Yes, there are a few ways that are faster. Have a look at this thread http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=3465691
    You could use software, such as "streamclip", or import by plugging your camera into your capture device and hooking your capture device into your computer and capturing by non-controllable device settings.
    Good Luck

  • I did upgrade to 8 and no confirmation, still says I need upgrade, so now what?

    Instructions for upgrade says at end of process, when prompted, place safari icon in applications. Never got prompt. When I go online still get prompt to upgrade. All 9 downloads are on desktop screen.
    Now no longer able to get security seal, says to set up new account (I did), but does not accept .net addys, so now have yahoo.com alternate accnt and still no security seal ...

    You need to delete content from the iPad and/or update it from iTunes on a computer.
    iCloud storage is separate from that on the devices.

  • I need to upgrade but don't know which version I have to get.  Do I have to go through each lower version or can I go straight to 10.8 then get free MAverick upgrade?  I live FAR from Apple store, so download upgrade is preferred.  :)

    Need a newer version of Os to run printer and software.  Confused if I need to get which version to be able to upgrade to MAverick for free.  Also, need something I can download since Apple store is far away. 

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X. For detailed information see this user tip:  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 )
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Before installation you should back up all your data.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    or Mountain Lion:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

  • Upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4 issues...

    I bought both upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4.  I downloaded the upgrades on my MAC desktop computer.  Everything was fine.  When I searched for them in applicatins, it showed both CS5 and CS6 and the same for Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4.  Should I delete CS5 and Lightroom 3?  Thanks in advance. 

    Feel free to remove the older versions if you are reasonably sure you have migrated all your files and have no technical issues. Just make sure to run the proper uninstallers, not just trash the apps. Also be warned that you may need to reinstall LR4 and CS6 to fix broken file associations and shared components like Bridge...

  • Can a macbook pro (2005) be upgraded to mavericks os x from snow leopard?

    can a macbook pro (vintage 2005) be upgraded to mavericks os x from leopard?
    I can upgrade to snow leopard which is required before upgrade is possible but notes on mavericks os x indicates compatibility with new os starts with macbook pro late 2007.

    Sorry, but a 2005 Mac cannot run Snow Leopard. You need an Intel Mac, but you have a PPC Mac. Leopard is as far as  you can go on that model.

  • Can I upgrade FCP from 7 yrs.ago with my new comp purchase?

    I bought the full out FCP in 2001. I am about to buy new mac but cannot drop $1000. Do upgrades work that far apart? I have the same situation for Photoshop too. I don't really want to buy the cheaper abbreviated versions. Thanks!

    No worries. If you just check out the product webpage you'll see this note
    The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
    The important bit for you is where it says +"The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from ... any prior version of Final Cut Pro"+ so even though your standalone version of FCP2 (?) is getting long in the tooth, you can upgrade it to the full Final Cut Studio suite (FCP 7, Motion 4, SountrackPro 3, Color 1.5, Compressor 3.5 and DVD StudioPro 4) all for just USD 299. Pretty bloody awesome really

  • What Is The Legal Situation With Upgrades And The Original Copy Of FCE/FCP?

    Imagine you have an original copy of FCE/FCP.
    You buy an Upgrade and of course use your original serial number to make it work.
    You then register the new product with Apple.
    Can you then sell your original version and keep your legal entitlement to use the Upgrade?
    This question arises from an advert I have just seen on eBay where it looks as though the seller is doing precisely that (if you read their reasons for selling).
    Final Cut Suite
    Ian.

    Hi Ian,
    The answer is NO. It would not be legal for either the seller or the purchaser (assuming the seller purchased & applied an Upgrade to his original installation instead of purchasing a whole new copy with its own full license).
    In the packaged software world, when you purchase an Upgrade you are only purchasing a license to upgrade from a previously legally owned & installed copy of the software. When you enter the serial number of the previous copy you are identifying that copy. Regardless of whether or not Apple actually tracks the serial numbers, your upgrade license requires you to be the continuing owner of the original license in order for your upgrade license to be valid.
    Under the circumstances as they appear in this eBay transaction, the seller would legally lose both their original and upgrade licenses and the purchaser would be illegally installing a previously licensed software package.
    The only way to conduct a legal transfer of license would be to deinstall the original software before selling. Of course, that means you would no longer have the software to use yourself.

  • How to get printed manuals with upgrade to FCP from Motion?

    I upgraded my standalone version of Motion to FCP 5.1 Universal through the mail and wondering how I can get the printed manuals. I realize it's not practical for Apple to mail 40 pounds of books and that the same text is probably on one of the DVDs but reading a physical book makes learning easier than reading on screen.
    Has anyone been able to upgrade from Motion to FCP and get the printed books?
    Thanks,
    DAN

    David,
    Apple provides manuals with most of it's software. I KNOW THIS OCCURS FOR A FACT! Thanks for posting your doubts and other notes but I don't think they are really being crafted towards helping at this point.
    I was actually hoping others might have found solutions rather than looking for salt to rub into the wound. But to help you and the others you have spoken with to understand possible solutions I'm hoping might remedy the problem here are a few that suggestions:
    - Call Apple Customer Support and get them to exchange the misrepresented product through the mail for what was represented.
    - Walking into the Apple store and confronting the sales people with the issue and getting them to exchange the product.
    - Working through Consumer Affairs and getting them to eiother refund or exchange the product.
    - Calling a local TV station to report the fact that Apple shows one product on their web site and in their stores while selling something different with a the same name that is incomplete.
    - Working through the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint against Apple for the misrepresentation and getting them to replace the product for the abused customers.
    - Emailing the support folks at Apple and getting a emailed voucher in return which will allow users to exchange the product int stores.
    I can think of dozens of ways Apple or other organizations could help resolve the situation.
    Printing a color manual at Kinko's seems like a ridiculous expense to me. I cannot afford it and I appreciate you not consistently saying it's a viable solution. I'm actually a bit surprised that you keep responding with no help, confusing unrelated comments, and insist on further irritating the situation.
    I hope my multiple attempts to help you understand what my issue is and possible solutions that people might offer has helped clarified things for you. If you have any further comments though please reserve them so others who may have had actual experiences similar to mine with possible solutions might be able to read this thread without having to see me explaining things over and over.
    Thanks,
    DAN

    Was the FCS on your old machine an upgrade? You will need to enter your original, full version serial first, and then you will be prompted for the upgrade serial number.
