Thanks for the note.
When I insert the FCP 7 upgrade discs in my new iMac, the install icon is greyed out.
That doesn’t happen with even my FC6 discs. But when I put the FC 7 discs in my old Macbook Pro, running Snow Leopard – the install icon is active. So that’s the issue.
If this upgrade is made for Lion, I don’t understand why it won’t recognize the FC 7 install disc.

So you are saying if I do a clean install, it will work? I’ll give it a shot. I just hope I won’t need a version of FC 6 on my computer for the upgrade.

Just purchased and iMac 2.5ghz i5 mid 2011 machine that shipped with Lion.
Was working on a Macbook Pro circa 2008 running Snow Leopard and just copied/ported my files, settings, and applications thru Wi-fi network to the new machine.

Now after reading your posts, I’m wondering if I should wipe and start again as my applications include Final Cut 6 and the CS4 Production Suite (after I updated the Java).
Final Cut 6 seems to be working, but I don’t want to get into a project and find out the hard way that it’s not. So I’m going to do some tests on FCP 6 and see if it snags or hiccups.

What are the bugs that folks see with this and will an upgrade to FCP 7 fix them (assuming I can find a copy now it’s been terminated by Apple.) I’m also a little concerned that if I do a clean install and start again, installing FCP 6 from the discs, Lion won’t recognize the them because there is no Rosetta software.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
