Upgrading FCP all the way from original version

i'm tyring to load the latest version of FCP on my home computer - using my office software. i started w/ the original version of FCP and after installing it and before i was even given the opportunity to enter my serial number, I got the following dialog box: That application or control panel is not supported by Classic.
there is obviously something going on with the earlier Classic system software that's preventing me from launching. This is software that i bought in '99 - and have since upgraded my home computer to the current OS.
i assumed i had to start with the first version of FCP since all of my subsequent versions are upgrade packages.
any ideas/advice?
thanks
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I can't speak for upgrading to FCP 5 (don't have it) but when I upgraded from FCP to directly to FCP 4, the "upgrade" I purchased only needed to enter the serial number for FCP 2 ... it didn't need to be installed on the system at all.
And as David S already stated, no version of FCP will run in Classic. FCP requires a full OS to run. Classic is merely a stripped down emulation of OS 9.

Does iDVD have all the themes from previous versions?

If I were to get a new iMac with iLife '08 installed will I have all the themes from previous versions of iDVD? Can someone with a new iMac and an older machine with iLife '06 & 05 confirm?
If the are not all there can I move them over and hopefully iLife '08 iDVD will convert them?

My upgrade yesterday maintained all previous themes.
I recall reading this week that you could get old themes from Apple if needed. Don't know if that's a download or snail mail request.
I don't see anything about that here:

TS1362 songs i have purchased on itunes will not play all the way from start to finish....

a group of songs from different artist will not play from start to finish and will skip to the next song 3/4 the way through the song...

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

HT201528 IDVD version of videos pause momentarily about every ten seconds and diagonal lines are ziggy. Image looks good all the way through the process and even on idvd

I am trying to make a dvd from a video I shot with a Sony HD avchd camera on a new mac mini running mac os x version 10.7.4
I'm using an up to date Imovie but copied IDVD version 7.1.2 and the support libraryt from an up to date macbook. The video is about 40 minutes long. It looks beautiful all the way from teh camera to playing it on idvd, but when I play the dvd on a player or in a computer it stops momentariily about every ten seconds and the picture is ziggy on diagonal lines.
Also, if I try to save the movie as a .mov file there is no audio.
Can't I move idvd to my new computer?

Hi
Why is the picture better all the way to iDVD - then degrades on the DVD
• DVD is as standard - interlaced SD-Video
If You need better then only way is via Blu Ray
• iMovie'08 to 11 - can not deliver this any way known to me to iDVD - first step in the degradation process
Use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut to do this delivery to 100% of what's possibly
Jaggy diagonal lines - mostly due to the use of iMovie'08 to 11 as they only deliver every second line in an already limited quality as interlaced SD-Video - taking away 50% doesn't improve a bit
Jumpy movie -. most often due to feeding iDVD wrong frame rate and forceing it to convert - IT DOES this BADLY. I use JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) to do this and it does this even better than pay applications.
iDVD can only deliver 25fps (PAL) or 29.97fps (30fps) (NTSC) - so feeding it
• 24 i or p
• 50p or
• 60p
Will not improve at all.
If iMovie'08 to 11 are only option - Then
• DO NOT - Share to iDVD - as this too degrade the final product
• I do - Share to Media Browser - and as - LARGE - Not HD or other resolution as this too degrades quality
More can be said on this - My long note follows - if of interest.
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

How to update from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Lion or all the way to Yosemite

I have a MacBok Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8. How do I update to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion? Or if I go all the way to Yosemite, do I need to buy and download every Mac OS X between 10.6.8 and Yosemite? Are there any free (and legal) Mac OS X downloads between 10.6.8 and Yosemite?

You don't need to do any of the intervening versions but can go straight to Yosemite in the App Store.
This will of course prevent your Mac from executing any PowerPC code. So you should check to find out if you are using any apps coded for the PowerPC processor. If you have that it will need to be upgraded to a newer version coded for the Intel processor.

Iphone 3GS upgrade but not all the way

I know i can upgrade my iphone 3gs (currently running 3.1.3) all the way to 6.1...
But can I just upgrade part way to 5.1.1?
My friends upgraded theirs recently from 5.1.1 to 6.1 and all they do is complain. 5.1.1 is nice and I would like to upgrade just part way.
Thanks

No. It isn't possible to update a device other than a third generation iPod touch or original iPad only to 5.1.1, and it's only possible for those devices because they're incapable of iOS 6.

Need to upgrade but don't want to go all the way to 9.0.1.

I want to upgrade my FireFox from 3.6 to a newer version but I can't go all the way to 9.0.1. My email service provider doesn't fully support 9.0.1.
How do I upgrade a version at a time.

"_800" --- good strategy DR9. Sorry to hear about you and mabel. Was it your fault? If so, you're a baaaaaaaaaaa-d boy...
I think I laughed out loud in the Apple store when I made Logic crash. Not an evil, maniacal laugh, though I think people turned to see what was going on. But their attention was quickly diverted because there was this other guy in the store who was barking out loud like a dog (I kid you not). He probably had Tourette's which, strangely enough, didn't seem affect him when he answered his cell phone and talked for a while. Once he got off the phone, though, he continued barking. At one point he bent way over and peered under the counter on which the Macs were displayed, presumably to locate the lost dog. A boy, about 13 or 14 stationed at the Mac next to him shook his head in an awkward display of disapproval. I think it was his first time trying out the gesture in public. In response I rolled my eyes at him. Mentally.
The barking man countinued barking as he left the store while I stood there arguing with the salesperson as to why I shouldn't have to show a second form of ID to purchase their fine appliances.
All in all, a surreal experience.
But anyway, I'm home with my date. Now it's time to "get to know her". I've got my "protection" and pretty soon I'll snap the rubber gloves.
Oh, my... now they know about the rubber gloves...

What model Mini?
How to identify Mac mini models
If you have another Mac there are ways to use the other Mac to regain use of the "new" Mac.
Try booting to recovery and see if you can reinstall the OS:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
Doing so depends upon the OS that was on the Mac before and what was done.
Otherwise you will need to boot from install disks.
You can call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE
If you have a Mac with an Intel processor you can order Snow Leopard install disk here
and boot from it and format the disk and instll Snow Leopard.

Can I install Adobe CS3, and upgrade all the way through to CS5.5 on Lion?

Hi,
I have registered Adobe Suite products since CS3 (DVDs) and been incrementally upgrading to CS5.5 on my Macbook Pro late 2008.
I recently bought a Mac Mini Server and I was wondering if I will be able to install my Adobe CS3 (imaged disks or external super drive) then run all my upgrades (see below) all the way through CS5.5 without any issues.
1) Master Collection CS3 DVDs
2) Design Premium CS4 DVDs
3) Design Premium CS5 Download
4) Design Premium CS5.5 Download
I have read somewhere that I could perhaps skip the 2 older CSx, and instead, just install my CS5 from download and enter the earlier serial numbers (CS3 + CS4) requested. But until I receive the Mac Mini with Lion, I cannot try this and confirm if this actually works.
Has anyone performed a similar installation on their Lion OS?
Thank you.

Hi!
My Macbook pro's fans go from all the way off then to all the way on... there is no middle... This only seems to have happened after I upgraded to Lion.

Any help? Please??

Backup your user file folders to a external drive and disconnect.
Hold c and boot off the 10.6.x installer disk,
use Disk Utility to erase your entire drive (select the drive makers name) and format HFS+ Journaled,
quit and install 10.6, use the same hard drive name and user name as before,
log in, Software Update, restore programs from fresh sources,
return your files into their respective folders.
Carbon Copy Cloner your new fresh install to the external drive, it's hold the option key bootable.
Wait on Snow for aother 6 months, then clone again and disconnect, give Lion another whirl by holding option while clicking on Purchases in MacAppStore to download the installer again.
If you want to make "hold c" boot DVD's of Lion and Snow Leopard disks follow these links.

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Yan

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.
