Which Final Cut Versions will work on my iMac G5 (iSight) and which won't??

I have a copy of Final Cut Pro and it installs fine but when i go to open it, it says that i do not have an AGP graphics card and will not work. (I have the standard card that comes with an iMac G5 (iSight)). I have looked on the web and found conflicting informatiom about which cards can run it. I have also been told that FCP 5 will not run on an iMac G5 but that FC HD will. Can anyone tell me the REAL answer??
imac G5 isight Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have also been told that FCP 5 will not run on an iMac G5 but that FC HD will.
who ever told you that was wrong
FCP 5 is designed to work with the PCI-e graphics cards
you have to hack FCP 4.5 to get it to work with the PCI-3 graphics cards

Which version of Final Cut Pro will work with Mac Book 10.75?

I can not put Final Cut Pro 9 on my Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
Which version of Final Cut Pro will run on Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
Thanks

Ok, first, your questions's answers:
FCS1 had a full version & an upgrade from any version of FCP. You only need the serial # handy when installing FCS upgrade.
Now FCS2 has TWO upgrade versions: one was for FCS1 ($499), the other was from any version of FCP ($699).
NOTE: Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.

Here's something else to consider: with the march away from the PPC as a whole & your upgrade cost to FCS3 is $299, I would be very careful how much you spend for the older copies.
If FCS1 or 2 is too hard to come by or cost what it did originally (or more), you may want to consider picking up a (used or new) Intel Mac with ATI or Nvidia graphics. even the newest mini might surpise you & get you by until you can afford something else.
Good luck!

Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

Thanks Tom.
So I will need upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work?

If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work? My current version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.6. Thanks.

Apple is not telling you the Complete story about Lion.
The installer for FCP 6 is Power PC code/ IBM CPU code, which Lion does not support.
FCP 6 is NOT Power PC code, it will run on Lion and Mountain Lion, as I have read on many posts.
The solution??
Solution condition where FCP 6 installed and upgrading OS to Lion
Do nothing, its already running OK
Solution condition where FCP 6 not installed and OS Lion installed.
Connect a firewire drive to your MAC and install the old OS on it (eg snow leopard) ,
Reboot to that OS
Install FCP 6
Reboot to your new OS (EG Lion)
Run FCP 6

Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite

Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite?

me too version 10.8. It would have been nice to know yosemite was going to crap out my primary video editing software! I use this for my video editing for my business video production and it would have been nice to know ahead of time or here's a crazy idea how about the software developers who are making millions off final cut pro sales release a fix BEFORE apple roles out yosemite for free. I don't have time to chase down every blog in the world to see issues etc. The reason I bought a mac is I just need it to work so I can work on my business.

Which iphone version will work all over the world?

Hello there.Im from Pakistan.Need some info related to iPhone. Next month i'am going to Canada and planing to buy an iPhone 6 from there.. So im confused which version will work fine here in pakistan.. Kindly guide me about the version which should i buy. I want a version which works all over the world.. Waiting for reply, thankyou!

An unlocked iPhone should do the trick. You need to get it in an Apple Store. I have traveled around the world with my British unlocked Iphone and I've had no problems switching between sims.
Good luck! By the way, revise your phone while you are on the shop, you don't want to find any defects when you are back in Pakistan.

Who has Final Cut Studio 2 working perfectly?

Does anyone here have Final Cut Studio 2 working perfectly across the board? Meaning..All the effects, sound loops, templates, media...etc all show up with no problems except the occasional crash here and there.
I am about to reinstall the OSX from scratch to install Final Cut Studio properly. Also....I plan to install all of the option media on a seperate hard drive.
Any suggestions? Advice?

For starters, I know its an error on my part. I am not talking about isntalling an upgrade. I recenlty brought Final Cut 2 academic. I know Final Cut Studio when it comes to the actual editing process, I just need help with the installation process.
My Final Cut Studio is is still very very usable...I prodcued an entire pageant with it. I just want it to work perfectly. In Motion...some of the media is missing, in soundtrack, some of the music files are missing.
When I installed updates for Final Cut and Motion.....motion started crashing and certain effects stopped showing up in Final Cut. I solved the Fianl Cut Problem, but still have hte missing media problem in motion.
Also, I installed all the optional media on my internal hard drive. 120 to be exact. Now I am down to 2 gig of space.
I am goign to buy a portable hard drive and store the optional media on there along with video, render files, etc.
What I am asking is....for the people who have Final Cut Studio 2 working properly...can you guys tell if you installed any final cut studio updates...if so which ones....also, what version of the OSX are you guys running.
I am really not frustrated are mad....I know it's error on my part....now....I am trying to get it right.

Does Final Cut Studio 2 work with Lion?

Does Final Cut Studio 2 work with Lion?

As Final Cut Studio consists of several applications, either go to your System Profiler under Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info, and select Applications to determine which applications are PowerPC, or visit this website and check the version info of each application to see what works and what doesn't:

Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
There are no markers.
Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
Thank millions for a solution.

It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite. I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating.

Can't get Final Cut Express to work on my I Mac desktop

Hi All,
I just purchased an I Mac - the first in my life. I simply couldn't get Final Cut express to work on my station cos it keeps telling me I need Accelerated Graphics Port. I wonder what it is. My Mac fulfills all the specs for Final Cut Express to work, but it keeps prompting me that I need the AGP when I click on the icon. If you have any clue and even bette, the remedy, can you please drop me a msg here, thanks!

I guess you purchased the Intel based iMac, but you have Final Cut Express version 3.0 or older. This version is for older Macs based on PowerPC.
If this is the case, as a temporary solution you may simply bypass the AGP error message by pressing ESC when this appears, and then you'll be able to work with FCE 3.0, even though emulated by Rosetta.
The best solution is to upgrade to FCE 3.5 (99$) that is Universal and works natively on Intel.
In any case if you look for AGP in this forum you'll find many posts on this topic.

Doe Final Cut Pro 7 work in Yosemite?

Does anyone know if Final Cut Pro 7 work in the new Yosemite upgrade?

Thank for the advice and link, Meg, but your are overly paranoid RE CleanMyMac 2. For fear of hijacking this tread (FCP + Yosamite) I will be very brief. (And, no, I do not work for MacPaw and am generally not a fan of their software.)
I've been a Mac-man since '84, and still have my 512k Mac SE (Yes, I still have it working). Now I am a Certified Computer Forensic Examiner and know very very well what goes on under the hood of OS X, am very familiar with the directory corruption that seems so persistent in the HFS+ file system, the relatively unstable permissions and all the crap that doesn't get cleaned out or managed "automatically" or at all by OS X. I don't need Arabic, French, Spanish, Danish or any other of the multitude of language iterations of OS X and/or other Apple software that unnecessarily sapping gigabytes of space on my machine. If I drag an App to the Trash there can be a multitude of extensions, drivers, settings/plists files and other junk that does NOT get removed with it... and if the average user discovers how to get into their relatively hidden Users/(Profile)/Library and try to remove stuff manually they are very likely to screw up their OS or break their other software. I have tested CleanMyMac 2 in a lab environment and, while the original was kind of screwy and less effective, CleanMyMac 2, does an excellent job of getting rid of totally unnecessary, disk-bloating CRAP from your drive and does it in a manner that is way more efficient and reliable than trying to do it manually. I've never had a negative experience with CMM2 and have found it to be no more difficult to remove manually than any of a bunch of other software.
While it does nothing to correct permissions errors or fix directory issues (sorry OS X Disk Utility ***** at that), I've found it to do an excellent job at locating and cleaning out all the stuff that OS X simply does not do on its own and does result in a more efficient, slightly faster-running machine.
Again, Meg, I appreciate your trying to help me out and provide caution regarding "cleaning" software. I, myself remain generally dubious about other products from MacPaw (particularly Gemini). It is certainly your right to avoid all of it and even Troll my feedback regarding CMM2. But lab results don't lie and my experience has consistently shown CleanMyMac 2 to be useful and non-destructive to my system and/or other software.
...... And it was an effective utility I used to get my FCP 7 to work again.

My final cut pro will not update on my iMac, it will update on my Macbook.

my final cut pro will not update on my iMac, it will update on my Macbook. I have OS X Yosemite on both systems, my macbook has final cut pro x version 10.1.4 and my iMac shows no updates available and is on version 10.1.1. I have tried looking in iTunes for the same update that is installed on my macbook under the same iTunes account, but it doesn't show any updates. I tried deleting from my iMac and it won't delete so I can reinstall it. any suggestions?

You need to be logged into the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID in order to see your updates. You speak about iTunes: maybe you meant that just as an expression to refer to your Apple ID, but just in case you didn't: you do NOT use iTunes to download mac software. You use the App Store application, available under the Apple menu.

HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Sorry for being unclear.
When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list). I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account). I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro. When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite. FCP was working fine until the upgrade. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

What Flash player version will work to run BBC news streaming on my Mum's old imac OS 10.4.11 ? Th version Flash 10.3 will not install and an earlier version download 10 may do the trick. Anyone know how to fix this or where to get such a download?
Adobe don't seem to offer an alternative.
Any ideas please.

AVCHD support in FCS2 / Final Cut version 6?

Does the new version Final Cut studio 2 and Final Cut version 6 support the new harddrive cameras that record in AVCHD? .. both Sony and Panasonic has newly released cameras.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I haven't seen a mention of this anywhere so I bet it doesn't. Of course it hasn't shipped yet so no real way of knowing.
