got my FCS2 upgrade box todayPosted by Dom Stevenson
My Upgrade that I ordered on AppleStore-Sweden April 16 will be sent from Apple Cork, Ireland in the next 24h (I phoned and asked) on my AppleStore status-page it still says shipping May 31 and delivery June 4.
Now I have to wait for my tracking number and wait to the beginning of next week....

Those were the dates I was given on an order placed on May 4th. Until yesterday when I got an email to say it had shipped and guess what turned up today: http://www.avid2fcp.com/?p=40 Martin Baker [www.digital-heaven.co.uk] Unique plug-ins and tools for Apple Pro Apps

It may not be necessary but experience tells me that it would be better to load the entire suite of applications fresh on a new MacOS X.9 volume. I would rather sugest that you clone the volume you have with 5.1 onto another disk and then start fresh on your internal boot volume. I have seen real problems loading a new version of FCP over an older version, so take this as a suggestion.

I am LAUGHING at the moment. IMMEDIATELY after I post this I get an email from Apple saying its shipped and will arrive Monday. My post shows 3:59PM and the email was actually sent 3:57PM.
I had checked minutes before I posted above and the Apple site said May 31 ship. I suspected that was wrong but it's clear they send the emails before they update the order info online. craig seeman Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Geoff Addis Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Mine arrived this morning, as promissed, direct > > from Apple. > > Geoff > > The last time I ordered something from Apple, they > notified me it shipped by email a few hours after > it had already arrived - my FCP 5.0.x to 5.1 > disks. > > I must be Apple's Rodney Dangerfield.
You will probably get it in a few days, the swedish AppleStore now says shipping in 24h on both new and upgrades as all european orders are sent from the same place Apples office in Cork, Ireland.
My own orders status still says shipping May 31, but when I talked with AppleStore yesterday I was promised shipping in 24h.
My Amazon order still says June 13.
Today, the Apple page says different periods for the three FCS2 options, but all are less than a week: Buy New Ships: 1-3 business days $1,299.00 Free Shipping Upgrade from Final Cut Studio* Ships: 3-5 business days $499.00 Free Shipping Upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite* Ships: 1-3 business days $699.00 Free Shipping Drat! What do I do?? I usually never like being the first kid ont he block with new technology, but with my recent work in HD, I feel confident that I need and want this upgrade asap.
I cancelled my Amazonian order and placed new with Apple. I now have a FedEX tracking number and due date of Weds.
It shipped from PA ! Long ways from Cupertino. I hope I'm not paying a lot for books I can't read in the recessed lighting of my edit suite in the dim glow of my monitors, with the Apple design standard of small grey type. Give me a PDF!
