Re installing Final Cut Studio on my NEW Mac pro?

I originally purchased Final Cut Studio (on a G5 Power PC), Then installed the universal crossgrade,
then installed Final Cut Studio 2. Now I have a New Mac Pro (Intel Chips) How do I go about
reinstalling FCS? do I need the original serial key from the first version or do I just use my
FCS 2 serial Key?

You'll need both keys, but you only have to do one installation.
The FCS2 installer will ask for the FCS2 key. If that passes, another window will open asking for the FCS key. If that key passes, then it's just a normal installation.

Problems installing Final Cut Studio on my new Macbook Pro

I just got my new 17 inch Macbook Pro, and am trying to install Final Cut Studio 3. It installed just fine, and accepted the serial number. The problem is that every time I open the application, I have to reenter the serial number. Once I do that, it runs fine, but the next time, I have to reenter the info again. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
Rob Krampf

do some searching here. I remember other people having this problem. You might also try repairing permissions on your startup drive, deleting your fcp preferences

And creating a new account in system preferences: accounts.

Installing Final Cut Express on a new iMac

I have been using Final Cut Express HS 3.5 since 2006. My old iMac died, and in trying to reinstall the program on the new iMac, I am told that Power PC products are no longer supported.
Is there a workaround or solution? I really don't want to buy the program all over again.

Here is the skinny on FCE 3.5 in Mavericks on your new iMac:
1) FCE 3.5 is a Universal app that will run on Intel Macs; it is not PowerPC and does not require Rosetta. See:
http://roaringapps.com/
2) Similar to FCP 6, there is a "bug" in the installer app that generates the "PowerPC" dialog box and prevents its installation in Mavericks. Use one of these two methods to install FCE 3.5:
A) Pacifist - http://www.charlessoft.com/
B) Use the Terminal method described by Jeremy Johnstone on his blog:

Installing final Cut Studio (2005) on an iMac

I recently bought an iMac with the intent of doing some video editing. I was assured by various people (including the specialist in a local Mac reseller) that I could run the 2005 Final Cut Studio (which I already owned) on the new line of iMacs, but when I tried installing the software it told me I didn't have the required hardware.
Have I just been given misinformation and now have to buy the new studio pack, or is this an issue that can be sorted with a download?

It depends on the version number of your copy of Final Cut Studio.
If memory serves me correctly, the version of Final Cut Studio in 2005 was a non-universal binary, or PowerPC version, designed specifically for pre-Intel Macs. This version put Final Cut Pro at version 5.0 and went up to version 5.0.4.
The Universal Binary version was a paid upgrade and wasn't released until early 2006. At the time, it was a very good deal, however, after multiple extensions, that upgrade program was discontinued shortly before the release of Final Cut Studio 2 in 2007. The UB version allowed the installation of FCS on Intels and Non-Intels. This changed the version number to 5.1.
EDIT: I've heard of people installing pre-UB versions on Intels and having them work, but it's not supported and not recommended.

Although this tutorial suggests creating a bootable drive with the OS installer on it, that's not necessary. You can just create disk images as he describes and mount them.
I am not sure why you did not just post this tutorial instead of requesting me to describe a workflow.
In the time it took me to research a workflow for Pacifist for a link for the OP, it seems he spent 6 hours of wasted time.
Michael:
Have you ever "uninstalled" Rosetta after installing it on a Lion or Mt. Lion Mac? and
I believe you told me earlier you do not use FCS2. Is that correct and if so what is your connection to offering so much repeated installation advice about a product that you do not use yourself?
I note that I also do not use FCS2, but I am attempting to get a copy to attempt to implement the Jeremy Johnstone "Text Edit" solution (no dangers of using Terminal). Unfortunately, all sources of purchasing a copy of FCS2 are just too expensive for me with no ultimate need for the program, after I figure out how to install it.
If you know of a copy of FCS2 that can be "lent" to me for "fair use" educational means of figuring out how to install it (and thereafter erasing that copy from my Mac), please let me know.

Final cut studio 2 on new imac 24'' 2.8 GHz

Hi,
I am, in the near future, starting wedding videography and my idea is to purchase Final Cut Studio 2 and the new imac 24" 2.8GHz with 4gb RAM and the 1TB hard drive.
My question is this, will this computer be powerful enough for me to run the Final Cut Studio "smoothly" while editing HD quality video?
My business will be based on this so i want to be sure!!!
Thanks in advance!

I am, in the near future, < </div>
How do you communicate with us then?
Do not start your business based on a computer and a piece of software. Research the business first, then decide what you will need and then figure out a way to finance it. When you get down to starting your event photography business, the computer is going to be the smallest captial investment you make; do not scrimp on it.
The iMac will only satisfy your needs for a few months but it will do the job. You must also have printers, scanners, backup routines and external drives. Umm, insurance.

Cant install final cut studio on my new mac

hello everybody,
i recently bought a new MacBook Pro ( best 15" model available only because of final cut!). I had final cut (7) on my old MacBook. I synchronized the 2 computers but a i had to reinstall view programs (Aperture, Adobe…- it worked normally).
Here comes the thing. I tried to reinstall final cut studio. It didn't work. I downloaded an uninstaller. It didn't work. I searched the whole library for files that are still there and may block the reinstallation. There were some but after deleting them it still didn't work either.
The error is not known or at least not shown. The installation program just tells me that an error occurred.
My feelings are a mixture of dosserpointment and anger, because this program was the main reason why i bought my 3.000€ mac!
Pleease help me… You are my last chance… any hint could help me

Syncing could be the issue because of licensing or the installer thinking there is some sort of licensing conflict. If Digital Rebellion's FCS unistaller isn't doing the job you only have a few options.
1) Removing everything manually - This can be done but it isn't for the novice.
2) Complete reinstall(presuming you have all of your discs) - Make a disc image of your HD to another drive and then do a clean install. A clean install would be recommended even if you were just upgrading from FCS2 to 3.

Cannot install Final Cut Studio 7 on new Mac Pro

I've just purchased Final Cut Studio 7 (Academic edition) for my Mac Pro (brand new G4 running 10.6.2), and it refuses to install. When I start the download package I get an Alert:
"Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
and just quits. I looked on the specs online (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/) and it states that I need
"ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)"
I have 2 NVIDIA graphics cards, both GeForce GT 120. Are these not Quartz Extreme capable video cards?

First of all you don't have a G4. A G4 is an obsolete computer that doesn't run Final Cut Studio.

Final Cut Studio 2 to new iMac w Lion

Ok I'm seeing I might have an issue right from the start. I just bought a brand new iMac 27" loaded w RAM etc. Obviously it is running Lion and version 10.7.2. I did get Adobe M.C. up and running and all functioning seems fine.
Now I have a brand new Studio 2 with upgrade from my original FCStudio. That also got upgraded a few years back when I was on my G5.
I'd like to avoid nightmares so am asking advice -before I do anything to begin the installation of FCP and its Studio mates...
What do you suggest first... ? And will I need Java to begin?

Read the second half of this thread:
FCPS 2 work on Lion?
Everything you need to know is in there.

Cannot install Final Cut Studio on new Mac Pro

When I go to install Final Cut Studio on my new Mac Pro, it tells me that "Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
I have the ATI 5870 and, just a wild guess here, I'm betting it does support Quartz Extreme.
A software update doesn't help me here because I cannot get the software installed the first place to be able to update it. What should I do?

FCS 1...Final Cut Pro 5.0? Won't work on an Intel. PowerPC only. You need at least 5.1...which wasn't a free upgrade, so updating won't work. You need FCP 5.1, FCP 6 or the most recent FCP 7. Those are the only versions that will work on the newer macs.

How can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new MacBook Pro with Lion?

I just purchased and received a new 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina) last week. I need to install Final Cut Studio 2 on this computer. I have researched this and found that I need to install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD in order to do this. This is the first Mac I've bought ( although I've been working with them for years), so I don't have a Snow Leopard DVD. I am a high school teacher and we use FCS 2 for my classes so buying FCP X is not a viable option for me since I teach FCP 6. The iMacs we use in school run Leopard and were never upgraded to Snow Leopard (budget cuts and all), so I can't even borrow one from my district.
Does anyone know how I can obtain Rosetta? Or another way to install this without it?
Thank you ! :)

There is no way to add Rosetta support because it is not supported by OS X Lion at system level. This has been documented before the release of OS X Lion by itself.
If you really need Final Cut Studio 2, I would return your computer if possible, and purchase a Mac that is capable of running Snow Leopard (all 2010 models, early 2011 MBP and some other 2011 models)

Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
I hope this will work for you.

What do I need to do to install Final Cut Studio version 2 on a new Mac Book Pro

What do I need to do to install Final Cut Studio version 2 on a new Mac Book Pro that does not support power PC anymore

You need to install Rosetta from a OSX 10.6 install disk.
FCS2 is intel native, it is only the installer that requires PPC support.

Help with installing Final Cut Studio package

I have a copy of Final Cut Studio 2.0.1. I would like to know if there is a way to create an image file to combine all disks into 1 file. This would help in installing, since I only have one set of disks. I don't want to risk ruining any of the disks, since I have a lab of 30 computers to install Final Cut Studio 2 on.
I have the following disks:
Final Cut Studio Install
Audio Content 1
Audio Content 2
Audio Content 3
Motion Content
LiveType Media 1
LiveType Media 2
DVD Studio Pro Content
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

Shane, I have all 8 FCP disks saved as a dmg file. I am currently storing these in a share on our NEW Apple XSERVE. I have tried mounting all of the 8 dmg files to the desktop of the iMac, that I'm wanting to install on. But this takes an unusally long time, I cancelled it after a couple days of it trying to mount the images to the desktop.
I'm very green to using Apples, just something that has been dropped in my lap.
Is there a way that I can mount these images in the folder on the Xserve? of is using a portable HDD the only way to do it.
