Anyone know how to uninstall Final Cut Studio?

I've attempted 3 installs and at the very end it says there were errors (of course, it doesn't say what errors), and to try again. Well, after 20+ hrs. into this I think it's time to start with a clean slate. But I can't find anything online on how to uninstall Final Cut Studio. I found several links to some mysterious document 93150, but apple's site doesn't have it anymore. Yeah, my luck.
If anyone could help me on this, you're sure to get lots of good karma this weekend, maybe even into the week.
thanks,

Yeah, the Knowledge Base documents to uninstall FCP 4 or higher no longer exist. (only the doc for FCP 3 exists) That being said, the Troubleshooting Basics for Final Cut Pro 5 document does detail how to trash receipts and reinstall. Haven't needed to try it myself (knocking on wood) but I take it you've have and it still hasn't worked out for you?
What, exactly, is prompting all of these installs?

    Does anyone know how to get final cut pro x to stop lagging?

    Two things: 1) MORE RAM.
    2) What hard drive?
    I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but the bare minimum to get decent performance out of FCP X is 8GB.
    If you mac supports more, even better - go to 12GB or 16GB.
    Also, the hard drive? Are you editing on the internal drive? That is also a bottleneck. The system drive should not also be used as a media drive; plus, depending on model, it may not be very fast drive to begin with.
    You should use an external drive with a fast enough connection - USB3 or Thunderbolt, if possible; FW800 as a distant third. USB2 may also work, albeit it is a relatively slow connection.

  • How To Uninstall Final Cut Studio

    Anyone know of a way to do this? I have no desire for it to be taking up the space it takes up when I barely, if at all use it anymore.
    Anyone? Looked on Apple's Discussion Forums and found nothing of substance.
    Thanks.
    Not sure if it matters but the version of FCP it came with was 5. I want to remove the whole Studio though

    This page tells you how to properly remove receipts and user preferences so upon reinstall the software update works correctly along with the rest of the program.
    I am not looking to re-install.
    I am leary of apps like AppZapper.
    I was curious if maybe someone had a nice clean list like Adobe does here for CS 2: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=331301

  • Does anyone know how to get final cut pro 10.0.8 (downgraded from Mavericks)

    I have down graded from Mavericks as I don't have the 2k needed to upgrade all my other apps I need a copy of final cut pro 10.0.8, any ideas?

    The problem as stated was difficult to understand so I tried to help out with the part that appeared (to me) to be caused by a lack of space.
    "I don't have the 2k needed to upgrade all my other apps"
    Never heard of the expression about 2k and still don't understand what it means. Is that 2k of English pounds or maybe 2k pounds of flesh?
    For what it's worth, in 1968 I was doing Fortran programming on an IBM computer that had 2K of memory. The computer room was the size of a large living room and we had two card key punch machines, a 120 "line printer" (printed a whole paper-width line at one time), a CalCom half-step plotter (wrote graphics programs for that), and a computer console, probably around 4 to 5 feet wide with rows of red lights. One had to read what was happening in hexadecimal code.
    The programs I wrote were in Fortran and were for transportation planning and the Transportation Engineers. The graphics programs were for Travel Time and Delay Studies and the output was on about 30 or 36-inch wide paper and included things like Average Speed, Running Speed, Stop Delay Time, Percentage of time Stopped, Coefficient of Variation, Standard Deviation, etc. Rand these for AM Peak, PM Peak, Off Peak, and for each direction.
    Back then an Engineer typically used a slide rule and if they were lucky they had a simple desktop Calculator that did add, subtract, multiply, divide, and had glowing wire numbers about 3/4" high would cost somewhere around $500. I don't think gas cost even 30 cents a gallon at the time. The venerable HP 35 calculator didn't come out until later. I wanted one but then they came out with the 45 and finally the Commodore 64 came out. Got one of those and wrote a lot of Basic programs for business.
    As for the 10.0.8, I do have a backup of that although I'll probably delete it now.

  • How to uninstall final cut pro 5

    How do you do this? I have used app delete to erase the files but it didn't get them all. I know this because when I check for updates it still offers me the final cut pro updates. I have searched around but cant find an uninstaller. Help please.

    Warning - This is a long post.
    How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
    There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the
    install discs for each app and go through the following procedure to
    identify the installed files.
    1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
    2) Click to let the installer check your system
    3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
    4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the
    files installed, then select all of them
    5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
    6) Open a text editor & paste the list
    7) If you have a printer connected, print
    8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated
    in the list
    9) Insert the next app's install disc and repeat
    The other way involves the Terminal.
    Using Terminal:
    1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
    2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
    3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
    4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
    5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)
    lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only
    the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
    6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window
    to the Terminal window.
    7) Press Return to view the list
    8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy
    (Command-C)
    9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a
    printer attached.
    10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being
    extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
    NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut
    Pro System.

  • Advice How to Ugrade Final Cut Studio 5.04 5.1?

    Has anyone written anything on how to update my FCS Final Cut Studio 5.0.4 to 5.1?
    I received my 5.1 replacement disks today (and not looking forware to the chore).
    Do I uninstall (trash what folders?) and run the 5.1 disks?
    Any tips will be greatly appreciated...

    Finally got around to running 5.1 crossgrade (with my 5.0x still in place) -- appears seamless -- I just started the #1 install disk and followed all the instructions -- it didn't even ask for the serial...

  • How long does final cut studio crossgrade mail take?

    Hey there, forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this.
    I sent in my final cut studio discs with filled out form in about 4 days ago regular mail.
    I scanned the discs before i sent them off and of course I still have my paperwork (serials) and all that.
    What bothers me is that I check the status and there is no record of it.
    there is also a field that is required for "company" and I dont have a company name so I have no idea if this is screwing up the whole look up.
    Anyway, its probably that they havent recieved my discs yet, since 4 days isnt very long.
    BUT, can anyone clue me in on how long it took to get their universal versions nial cut studio?

    It took mine almost 2 weeks. It took almost a week for mine to show up on the status and when it did, it said backordered. Stayed that way for 4 or 5 days, then got an e-mail saying they had been shipped. Got them this past Saturday.
    Company name doesn't matter. I didn't fill in one on the original form and didn't when used the status form.

  • General Overview on How to use Final Cut Studio to create a Blu-Ray DVD

    I am a new user of Final Cut Studio and need an experienced user to give my a progression guide on how to create a Blu-Ray DVD of my recent Alaska Trip. Last month I spend 8 days in Alaska visiting Denali and Juneau primarily. During that time I took about 100 short video clips (HD 1080p) and 570+ still photos with my Canon 7D. I have experimented with some pieces of the software and have created a Blu-Ray disk using Final Cut Pro and Compressor. However my goal is to create this DVD with menus that will play short clips (some narrated) and still photos(also some narration). I did a short one in DVD Studio Pro this morning but need some general guidance on what progression and programs to use to create this project. I was not able to take my video from the Studio Pro Sequence I created for my 1st DVD I had to take the original clips which were processed using Apple ProRes 422 and copy them in one at a time and then find the audio (on the voice overs) I created and also place them into DVD Studio Pro one at a time. I obviously need some guidance on the proper progression.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's the situation...
    DVD Studio Pro will not do the trick for you - it doesn't do blu-ray discs. If you want to do Blu-ray you've got to use either Final Cut Pro's "Export" command or Compressor's "Burn Blu-ray disc" template. The downside to both of these approaches is that you can't burn more than one title (or movie, etc.) using Final Cut Studio.
    To do what you want to do, you need Toast (at least). Toast will auto-generate menus but will let you put more than one title per slide (so you can put multiple slideshows on the same disc).
    If you want to do full-on customizing of menus and multi-level menus, for that you need Adobe's Encore.
    My suggestion - Get Toast. Encore is close to $800.
    Here's your progression (at least the one I use).
    Edit in Final Cut Pro (ProRes 422 is fine, ProRes 422 LT would do the trick as well)
    Export as QuickTime movies (original settings)
    In Compressor using the H.264 for Blu-ray setting and Dolby Digital setting and create elementary streams for video (.264 file) and audio (.ac3). Make sure these files have identical names except for the extension.
    Using toast, add the video file to the Toast project and it'll find the audio file.
    Burn away!
