Cannot reinstall final cut pro x free trial version

According to the Apple web you can reinstall Final Cut Pro X free trial. Following instructyions I removed all final cut files. It did not work. I then used "ProMaintenance" to make sure all files are deleted. Same unsuccessful result: Unable to install it the second time. I get 2 options: "Buy" or "Quit". Any help appreciated. ty

within the 30d period.
or, do you want on an Apple hosted site like this advice to circumvent DRM of Apple Products??!
to bypass the 30-day-limit is simply illegal. whatever 'the web' says ....
(the web as in 'free apps, free music, free movies'?)

  • Final Cut Pro X Free Trial - Lost Past Files

    I downloaded the free trial of FCP X about 20 days ago and when i went to import and begin a new project today, the past 4 projects and their original files I have worked on are gone.  I have looked everywhere in my external hard drive (where I save things) and when I search under the Final Cut Pro Events/Projects, nothing is there.  I'm a little concerned as the original footage is gone as well.  It's like there's no trace that I ever worked on them.  I know the program auto saves, but all that's on my external drive is the final exported .mov files that open in Quick Time. I opened a new project to see if it deleted the current one I was working on, and it didn't.  As of right now it's saving everything that I've done since Wednesday, but prior to that.... I can't find a thing.  (I've searched the computer/external hard drive/back up files.)

    Unless you have another drive that is not currently mounted, this doesn't sound encouraging.
    Before Wed, were you working from the Finder  in events and projects? Even if you had changed the names, duplicated, organized, consolidated – whatever – if they exist, they should have the extensions you searched on.
    Sorry, I'm having a hard imagining a scenario whereby both events and projects go missing at the same time – short of moving them to the trash from within FCP (which has to be done one at a time) or dragging both the Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects to the trash in the Finder and emptying the trash.
    Perhaps someone else will weigh in with some better ideas.

    Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
    Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
    Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
    1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
    2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
    3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
    4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
    5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
    Any suggestions on what I should try now?
    Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

    Sounds like there is a file you're not getting.  Never do a removal manually.  It's so time consuming and a pain.  There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
    Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
    Reboot the Mac.
    Download from scratch.
    If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
    If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

  • Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

    Hello,
    I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
    I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
    What is wrong?
    is it my Macbook?

    I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
    Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
    Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
    My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
    Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
    Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling final cut pro x 10.0.9

    Hello all Can anyone tell me how to Uninstall and reinstall final cut pro x 10.0.9. Can I redownload final cut pro x I bought it on line. Also I'm running  Lion.
    My problelm with FCX it hangs after a few clicks. I have cleared preferences but no avail.  Help please.
    Can not update to Maverick.

    Hopefully, you can fix before having to uninstall. If you so the only way you can get 10.0.9 is to install Mountain Lion (10.8.))
    Does it hang with all projects? 
    How did you trash preferences? Use this app if you didn't earlier.

  • Reinstalling Final Cut Pro

    Final Cut Pro has been causing me problems. I suspect that it might be due to a corrupted file, as when I trashed the preferences it was still giving me trouble. So I have decided to reinstall final cut pro.
    I reinstalled Final Cut Pro once before about a year ago due to a different problem, but the installation CDs prompted me to reinstall all of Final Cut Studio which takes about 3 hours.
    So I have two questions related to that. Is it possible to just erase and reinstall only final cut pro without having to reinstall the entire studio? And my second questions is, since a corrupted file might be the problem that is causing Final Cut Pro to act buggy, would it be wiser anyway to reinstall the entire studio since all of the programs in Final Cut Studio seem to share files in common?
    Thanks.

    Also note that a clean install will most always provide the best results. A "clean install" includes backing up all data on your boot drive, then reformatting it, then re-installing the OS, followed by the applications and updates.

  • After editing in lightroom, i transferred the photo to final cut pro. However the photo that shows in final cut pro is the unedited version and a bit blurry. Any ideas?

    IIs there an export function from Lightroom? Did you export? Does the exported file contain your edit?
    THe hard drive file size doesn't matter. What matters is the image size, it's dimensions in pixels.
    IN FCP press Cmd-J to see the project properties.

    FINAL CUT PRO X (the latest version). I'm trying to upload my video to Youtube, I am getting flashing and orange bar in the frame timeline. How to make it STOP!? It looks like it's rendering somthng but I just want it to stop flashing. I hope it didn't mess up the video...

    You're in totally the wrong place...  this is the Mac Pro (no Book) forum for hardware.  You want
    Final Cut Pro X: Professional Applications: Apple Support Communities
    Hopefully, FCP X has an autosave feature Like Final Cut Pro Studio so that you may already have a recent copy.  If I were in your shoes, I'd try an ESC or something similar before going to a Forced Quit.
    Good luck

  • HT5103 Why can't you export on Final Cut Pro X the trial?

    I'm trying to export my video on Final Cut Pro X the 30 day free tiral but it is not allowing me to do so, why is that?

    Yes I have the project selected and when I hit share various options for where I want to share the video comes up so I hit one for instance the "Master File" I click on it and set my settings to quicktime and etc., then when I hit next it take me to a screen of where would I like to save the file at so I would put it on my extrenal hard drive. But when I got to check to see if it saved nothing is there. I tried to do Vimeo but nothing is there on Vimeo also.
    Can you save or export on the 30 day trial is that even a feautre?

  • How do I continue editing a project from the trial version of final cut pro to the paid version

    I have been working on a project on the trial version of final cut pro x.  I  bought the full version even though my trial wasn't up yet.  When I opened the paid version my projects from the trial are not in there.  I also closed the trial and opening the paid version and my projects were still not there.  How do I get my projects to show in the paid version?

         I have a 'similar' problem, but your advice above does not work (or does not seem to work).  My Trail version of Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 expired before I completed my first/only movie project. 
         I purchased FCP yesterday.  Now I want to "import" the video files and the movie project (not sure if that's the correct terminology - I am still a newbie) into FCP 10.1.1 -  Please advise?

  • Final cut studio 2 (free trial)

    can i get a free trial version of fcs2 because i whant to try it befor i buy it thanks

    Final Cut Express is a cheap way to get your feet wet. It works with DV, HDV and AVCHD and only costs $199. If you are a hobbyist and won't be working with broadcast tape or tapeless formats, this is the product to get. Sure, you don't get Motion or Color or Soundtrack Pro, but it is still a great little application.

  • Got a second hand G4, wiped it, having trouble reinstalling final cut pro

    my mom and i are working on a second hand G4 with superdrive. we wiped it, reinstalled the basics (3 disc boot series), and moved on to install OS X. everything seemed cool. then i put in the final cut pro disc (we have both 2 and 3 discs for 'upgrades' but i started with the basic one). i put it in, i start to install, it loads almost the entire way and then it gives me an error of 'MDB (or MBD?) was not written. Continue?' i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. i said continue, then once it finishes, i try to open it and nada. does this have to do with Quicktime? it's just a guess but i really don't know what's up. the main reason i got the mac is so i could make slideshows for my family in final cut. help?

    Sorry so long in responding to your comments. I have FCP 1 CD with 2 and 3 upgrade CD's. After installing FCP 1 a comment box requests MacOSx.1.1 update. Downloaded it from Apple website - won't let me install it. I get to select a destination - then it wont' allow me to pick one. Becca and I did not get this error last week, when we started this.
