Will FCS 3 work under lion?

Hi (Bonjour)!
I'm currently in the move for renewing my aging LNE station. I already own an unopened FCS 3 box but looking for a new mac. I 'm pretty cold with the new FCP X .
Anyone knows if Final Cut Studio 3 will works under the upcoming OS X Lion? And with the anticipated new desktop Mac Pro?
Thank you.

Hi Michel,
I'm using it with OSX Lion right now on a Developers GoldMaster. The good thing is that Lion is not that much different under the hood to SnowL. It's got some great new features, my fav's being Versions and Resume. But these don't affect the day to day running adversely. Apps will have to be rewritten to utilise some of the features (so FCS3 won't get a look-in then).
So far I've not had issues with any of my main software including the Adobe CS5.5 suite, FCS3, PFMatchit, Parallels, Maya, Nuke, all working as they should - some much better!
Apple have just asked developers to start submitting their Lion apps so it will probably see a release very shortly. Next tuesday if they follow tradition. If you have 3rd party hardware for FCS or Logic you might want to wait until drivers have been released though. My NVidias work fine but if you use ATTO, AJA or Blackmagic cards you are best checking with these developers before upgrading to Lion.
All the best

  • Upgrading CS2 to CS5.5 under Snow leopard, will that upgraded CS5.5 version work under Lion?

    Hello,
    I would like to migrate to Lion from Snow Leopard but before I do so, I would like to know whether Adobe CS5.5 upgraded from CS2 while still under Snow Leopard would then work under Lion.
    Many thanks!

    Thanks a lot Stefan for your answer!
    I am using CS2 premium (i.e. Illustrator, Photoshop, Go Live, inDesign and Acrobate 7 Professional) and wish to upgrade to CS5.5 Design Standard + Dreamweaver.
    But my question is probably more like: if we upgrade a CS2 product to a CS5.5 product, will some PowerPC code still remain in the upgraded version, thus creating compatibility problems with Lion?
    Many thanks,
    Cheers,
    Jonathan

  • Wish I would have known Quicken 2007 would not work under Lion OS.  I had no reason to believe it wouldn't.  Any ideas for me?

    I switched to Essentials while using Snow Leopard in anticipation. Data conversion was pretty good. Nothing critical was lost, but I did have to reassign some budget catergories for past transactions. It was a good opportunity for some cleaning up that I should have done anyway. They have a 60-day return policy on the Quicken web site which was key to my purchase decision.
    I am not affiliated with Quicken in any way other than as a customer. I'd have preferred it if they had updated 2007 but they didn't!

  • Older ipod will not work under itunes11

    My older ipods will not work under itunes 11, Who can help?

    i think at this point we are unsure if the problem is that apple has once again decided to leave something older in the dust (as they've been doing a LOT lately) or that you've found a bug in itunes 11 that will be addressed at a later date. just how old are these ipods? if they were mine and i had to choose between itunes 11 and my ipods i would choose my ipods. right now i would look around the itunes forums and see if anyone else has this problem.

    Not a bummer. What is wrong with the OS you are now using?
    If it Ain't broken don't try to fix it.
    Be Happy you don't have to deal with all the changes and inconsistencies that Lion has created between it and older Mac OSs

  • What USB Webcam will Work under Lion (Mac Mini)

    Only a couple month back, I purchased an "Icecam2" from MacAlley for my Mac Mini. It worked just fine. But Lion doesn't appear to recognize it.
    Any work arounds?
    Are there any cameras that do work with Lion? (none of the once I have seen so far states that it works with Lion)
    Thanks.

    I am currently using 2 webcams from Logitech, the C910 and the older Webcam Pro 9000.  They work with Lion.  I use it with Skype, iChat, Facetime and Yahoo! Messenger. 
    The Mac software that come with the webcams, however, do not have the same features as that of the Windows version.

  • ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Working Under Lion

    Home Sharing is no longer working between Lion and my Apple TV or iPhone. I am able to watch Netflix through my Apple TV (2nd Gen) so I do have connectivity. I have restarted both devices, and updated iTunes to 10.4. Under "Advanced" in iTunes, Home Sharing is turned on. In Preferences in iTunes under Sharing, it says Status: On, no users connected, even though my Apple TV is connected to the network.
    Is this problem isolated, or are others experiencing the same issue?

    I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
    Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
    Apple help people were GREAT!

    I have found my own solution, if only temporary, until another Java update clobbers me…
    I followed  the Java instructions to delete Java 7 at http://java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml
    Then I followed the Apple instructions to get back to Java 6 at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559, which involves using the Terminal application.
    Then I closed Safari, and relaunched.  It is now back to where it has been for the past year, working!

  • InDesign CS4 will not run under Lion

    I have InDesign CS4 and Design Suite CS3. All my other CS3 apps run under Lion. The Upgrade to Lion failed leaving my internal unbootable, so I installed and migrated to an external drive. But after the upgrade to Lion all of the other CS 3 aps run, IDCS4 will not run. I get the following message:
    Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.
    I used the uninstaller and reinstalled. No affect. I made the Library folder visible. No effect. I cant

    There is a very long list of incompatibilities with Lion:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
    I'm sure there are many more that are unknown.
    FWIW, I highly recommend sticking with Snow Leopard for now and when you do upgrade, do so as a clean install.
    John will be along soon to tell you to ignore the man behind the curtain.

  • Will iDVD work in Lion?

    I would like to migrate a copy of iDVD from time machine to my new iMac 27".  Will it work and how do I transfer just iDVD and not all the other applications as well?
    Thanks.
    Dinglehum

    Yes, it works in Lion.  However, you need to transfer both the application and themes which are located in your HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder. If copying the themes to that folder and the app to the Applications folder does not let iDVD find the themes you may have to reinstall iDVD from the disk it came on for your old Mac, if you have it.
    Otherwise purchase a copy of the boxed iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com: iLife 11. That wahy you'll have it on disk along with the discontinued iWeb for future installs if necessary.

  • I have an Advaned Format WD drive,will it work with Lion?Does Lion even support AF?

    I have a "new" mid 2009 MacBook, and I'm replacing everything on it so I can use it for school. I want to use Lion, and decided to get a new hard drive to compliment the upgrade.I ordered a WD Scorpio Black drive...but just realized it had Advanced Format in the description. I noticed alot of reviewers said it worked with their MacBook Pro's, but dont know if they succesfully got AF to work or not...sounds like there would be a serious performance hit if they couldnt get it to work.Does Lion have any way to format the drive in AF?Is it even necessary?

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • Will Microsoft USB keyboards still work under Lion, including programmable buttons?

    The MS Intellitype driver lists compatibility through 10.6.x. I don't want to upgrade, only to discover that my Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is crippled by lack of driver support for all the shortuct buttons it has.

    I heard back from Microsoft Hardware technical support, in a rather vague response:
    Microsoft PC Hardware Technical Support
    August 1, 2011 9:46 AM
    Hi Rochelle,  
    Thank you for your reply.
    Rochelle, IntelliType Pro software is compatible with Mac OS, however as the Lion OS is a latest OS; we do not have any driver for this and hence it is incompatible with the software. But please be assured that as soon as we have the driver, it will be uploaded on www.microsoft.com/hardware/downloads  
    i apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

  • Sound not working under Lion. No output device. Need fix!

    Hi there,
    after installing Lion 10.7 I never managed to get my sound working. Under System Preferences -> Sound I got no sound devices installed. Same happens when I open Audio-Midi-Setup. Everything is greyed out, can't even add something. Audio-Midi-Setup also will CRASH when trying to configure anything.
    I tried already everything as suggested in forums:
    - Repaired Disk Permissions
    - Rebootet several times
    - Reset PRAM
    - Reinstalled OSX Lion again again and again
    - Updated to 10.7.2 (all the same crap)
    - Deleted some plists and stuff as suggested by users
    - Ran Apple Hardware Test from my second SL Applications Disk
    I've spent hours and nothing seems to work with this crappy OS. Apple, we really need a fix for this!
    Lion = Windows Vista!

    Hi,
    not sure if this helps, but you can try. I installed Lion today and found myself in a Czech localization of Mac OS. (I had Czech set as my preferred language, but Czech localization was not available before Lion, so this was new for me.) Since I found the localized folder names extremely confusing, I decided to switch to English. However, after a reboot the sound stopped working and I experienced exactly the same problems as you're describing. Out of desperation I tried switching the localization back to Czech and voila, the sound is working again. Let's hope this gets fixed soon.
