Will FCP 7 run in Mavericks 10.9.1

Hi,
I'm running an iMac 27" (mid 2011) 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB.
I have a question about Mavericks (10.9.1). I called Apple and they couldn't guarantee that FCP 7 or any other third party programs such as Toast 9, DVD SP4, Compressor 3.5.3, Streamclip, Motion 4.0.3, Epson NX 415 scanner, etc.
I'm especially concerned about FCP 7 because, although I have taken and plan to re-take the FCP X Rippletraining tutorial for which I need Mavericks to run FCP X on, I still have some ongoing FCP 7 projects that I want to be able to run.
Apple suggests backing up my current OS (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) on Time Machine and re-installing if necessary.
Have you heard of any problems with Mavericks and FCP 7 and any other 3rd party programs that run OK on Mountain Lion?
Thanks,
Phil

Yes, I've heard of problems. Just today someone said that Log and Transfer didn't work properly...kept crashing the system.
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1181053
There have been reports of it not launching, exporting out of sync...saying CODEC NOT FOUND when working with XDCAM. How far ranging is that? Dunno. We only hear about the problems on the forums, not the successes. If you sat in the waiting room at a hospital you'd think everyone was sick, that there was some sort of pandemic.
I do know others that have reported now issues. But it all depends on what part of it you use...I guess. The OS wasn't designed for FCP 7 in mind. If you must use it to earn a living, I HIGHLY recommend you install it on an older OS, or keep around the older computer that you have it installed on to revisit those projects.

It won't run "on" Mountain Lion as it is a new OS. It will replace Mountain Lion. While pricing hasn't been announced, I doubt it will be free.

Will FCP Run on Older Mac Towers

Can I run FCP on a Macintosh G5 1.8 GHz PCI-X tower? Would a Power Macintosh G5/1.8 DP (PCI-X) work any better?

How far back can I go where it won't hurt me? I don't have enough money to purchase a new computer. I was running everything on an MacBook, but I fell in the slushy NYC snow and it slid out of my bag. It is fried and finished. I'm trying to purchase a refurbed tower unit. I found G5 towers for $350. I realize that is not the best scenario, but it is all I can afford. That's why I originally wanted to know if I could run fcp v6 on a G5 tower that is not intel based.
My reasoning was that a few years ago that was all we had to work with. So why not revert back and make lemonade from the lemon situation I find myself in:)

Will iTunes 10.7 run under Mavericks?

Hi,
I just can't get used to iTunes 11, and I don't yet have any IOS 7 devices which would require that I do so.
I want to downgrade to iTunes 10.7, but will it run under Mavericks? I do want to upgrade to that.

OK I HAVE TRIED THIS. i updated to mavericks without even thinking about itunes 11, unfortunately it wiped my 10,7 but i got rid of 11 and did the pacifist way and got 10.7 again only to find it completely ****** my system, all of a sudden songs are stopping at random points, process ituneslibrary.blahblah keeps self quiting and popping up annoying warning messsages, also NOTHING could be updated or redownloaded off the app store while 10.7 was installed.
i attempted to fix permissions, this only made my itunes entirely inaccesible, now i have bitten the bullet and gone to 11, be smart and don't fall for it, if its too good to be true (ie free os) theres often some catch related to self interest brewing behind the scenes. theres such a headache involved with downgrading an os so really don't jump in, osx 11 is right around the corner, the new features are easy to overlook, my pc does run cooler but i lost the last version of itunes i enjoy operating and the piece of mind that it was my computer to do with it what a choose. like come on you got rid of front row and coverflow, weren't they the two big things innovated for osx in recent times that really made the mac feel less like a computer and more like a personal experience? oh thats right, money to be made. excuse me but when innovation was a regular thing for your company the focus was never on "what features can we steal from the next osx to make our customers buy more activity specific products?" before you are the sinking ship merely being pointed in the right direction realise what made you great and don't stop, not the weight or the thinness, it's the usability and the personification

After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works except iPhoto. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it work on Mavericks?

After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works BUT all my photos were lost. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it run on Mavericks?

If you have iPhoto from iLife '11, then I would first install it on your computer. In that way you would be able to get the new iPhoto free since you are running Mavericks.
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

If I upgrade to Mavericks will FCP 6 still work?

I have no intention of switching to FCP X but Snow Leopard is getting outdated for some applications. Will FCP 6 work if I upgrade to Mavericks?

I got an email today from a client who's buying a new macbook and wants to run fcp7 on it. Told him he might be better off buying an older machine.
Buying an older machine is an option, but quite honestly, if your client is doing his work for professional purposes (whether for himself or 3rd parties) I would suggest that he purchase TWO older Macs (preferably the same model).
Then he can set them both up and have a backup situation when the first one fails. In the case of using a new Mac, this is not as important, as one can always run out to the Mac store, come home with a new replacement and restore their backup/clone and be up and running with little loss of time. That scenario is not possible with a used Mac.
Hardware drivers can function in Parallels, through USB, but not firewire. What kind of hardware drivers are you talking about?
Lastly, I have finally found a local source who will "loan" me his copy of FCP 6 for educational/research purposes!

My FCP 10.1 is freezing at "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in library/applications support/ final cut pro... What do I do ???

Had the same issues. For me, I found unmounting any external drives and relaunching FCPX worked.
Mavericks seems to have some issues with launching Final Cut, so its best to launch and then plug in any external drives - hope that helps.

I was going to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mavericks 10.9.2, but the installer program notified me stating my appleworks 6 app will not run on the new set up. is there a procedure to keep or switch my documents in order to obtain the mavericks upgrade?

I can't say personally since I never used AW, but see if these articles help:

I suggest that you clone your current drive with 10.6.8 to an external drive. If you have any issues after upgrading to Mavericks, you can boot back into 10.6.8.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. If you need help creating your clone, let us know.

Office 2008 and Mavericks, Will it run in the new OS?

I have an iMac running Mountain Lion and I have the Office 2008 suite.
Will the suite continue running if I upgrade to Mavericks?
I have a Mac Book Pro that when I upgraded to Mountain Lion from the one before a few applications including Parallels were not compatible. I had a windows license and my other copy of Office 2008 quit working. Dont want to pay more money for new software to Microsoft to begin with. I gave up the Windows environment but I cannot give up Office, I can't afford to buy the newer version when what I have works for what I do
I already lost a copy of MS office for Mac

See https://discussions.apple.com/message/23547845#23547845 where the answer is yes and no. From that thread it appears Office 2008 will run on Mavericks but some people are having trouble with it.
Note, MS will not be supporting Office 2008 on Mavericks. Mavericks-related updates will be applied to Office 2011. So if you upgrage to Mavericks try Office 2008 but if there are issues be prepared to shell out $140 for the home/student 2011 version (or more for the version that includes Outlook).
Is there a compelling feature in Maverkicks that would compel you to upgrade? If not stick with ML to avoid giving MS more money.

12-month old iMac running Mavericks will not run Yosemite

I have an iMac 21.5", bought new in September 2013 and currently running Mavericks with no problem. The OS is on the internal Mac HDD while Time Machine is on an external HDD. Previous OS updates have installed OK.
Yosemite however will not run. After installation I can log in with no problem and all seems well -- the first time. All attempts to log in after the first produce the Apple logo and progress bar, but the bar advances only about one third of the way and hangs up, even when left for an hour or more. Nothing at all can move it -- all I can do is reboot by powering off/on. No login appears, just -- the logo and progress bar, which starts to run then stops as before.
If I reinstall Yosemite then I get one login as before, followed by the same failure -- I have now re-installed three times.
I have tried rolling back to earlier (pre-Mavericks) OS versions on Time Machine before installing Yosemite -- same result.
Right now I am back on the previous Mavericks. All is OK and I can live without Yosemite, but I am becoming concerned for future-proofing my apps. Newer versions, for Yosemite, are not going to run.
Any help would be appreciated please.
Best wishes to all.

Sadly it did not last. Yesterday it again froze on login and this time Safe Boot got me nowhere.
No doubt if I carry on experimenting I can sort it out, but I can longer justify the long breaks from my work. I have rolled back via Time Machine to my last Mavericks-based save, and there it stays until someone at Apple gets to grips with Yosemite. Or replaces it, which I expect won't be long . . .
It just is not good enough to tell the consumer that they must accept bugs with a new release, or that it's all their own, or their system's fault or that they should get help from a support forum -- any clerk should be able to sit down and just use it. If a machine was running OK with an existing OS, then it should seamlessly switch to the new without calling for a Masters in IT to figure it out. No ifs or buts. We pay a premium price for a Mac and deserve better than this from Apple.
From my standpoint, Yosemite is without doubt the worst beast of an OS -- from any source -- that it has ever been my misfortune to encounter. This is my third Mac over the years, and at this rate it's my last -- for all Microsoft's failings, I have never encountered anything like this with Windows.

Will GB 10.0.3 & FCPX 10.1.4 run on Mavericks?

Hi
Worries about old app have so far kept me from updating to Yosemite. I see I have updates to my Mavericks system:
Will GB 10.0.3 & FCPX 10.1.4 run on Mavericks?
Would I receive updates that weren't applicable to Mavericks?
best
elmer

GarageBand 10.0.3 and Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 work with OS X Mavericks. In both cases, you will still receive updates for these apps always that they are compatible with OS X Mavericks (if not, the Mac App Store will not let you install them).

Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?

Is there a compact flash and SDXC card reader with USB3 and or thunderbolt connections that will work with new MacBook Pro retina laptops running OSX Mavericks please?

Yes, I too had this problem.
I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.
MacBook Pro Retina running 10.8.2 (12C54)
Lightroom running 4.1
Hope that helps.

Will my copy of FCP run on the Intel machines

I currently have a G5 with a PowerPC chip and I am looking at purchasing one of the new MacBooks. However, I heard a rumor on the internet that my copy of FCP, which was purchased a year ago, will not run on the Intel machines.
Is this correct?

http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
Ok I found the link. So I have the entire Final Cut Studio Production Suite that I bought this Spring. So that means it will just cost me $49 for the upgrade?
Does the crossover effect any other applications?

Will my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 run on Mavericks?
I have a 2007-08 model iMac, running Snow Leopard.
Thanks!

Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks into it and "dual-boot" to determine which flavor of OS X you are running. DO NOT install Mavericks over your Snow Leopard environment as Mavericks will destroy it!
You can then experiment using Mavericks all you want with the ability to boot back into Snow Leopard as needed.

Will FCP X Run Smoothly On This iMac?

I am thinking of purchasing the 27" 3.1 GHz iMac with 12GB RAM (default 2x2 with an additional 2x4). Will FCP X and Motion 5 run smoothly on this or would I need to upgrade to 16GB RAM, 3.4 GHz, and the AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB?

This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance. It should help you set things up correctly if you decide to go for FCP X - a truly amazing application.
Make sure you're using the latest version - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
First, check that you have at least 20% free space on the Hard Drive that your System and your Media, Projects and Events are on.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
Create Optimised media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
If you are short of drive space, use ProRes 422 Proxy (FCP X Preferences > Playback) - but remember to select High Quality when you export your movie.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot.
Move your Projects and Events to an external HD (make sure it's formatted OS Extended - with journaled on or off) and run from there.
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.
