Best way to uninstall FCP 5.0 and then install 5.1 on my MBP

hope this is not a dumb question... i installed FCP 5.0 on my MBP not knowing that i should have done the 'universal crossgrade' to 5.1 first. I'm kinda new to Mac, so how should i do the install of 5.1? should i completely uninstall all the FC Studio Apps (FCP, motion, DVDSP, soundtrack pro, live type) first by just deleting them from the 'applications' folder and then install all the 5.1 apps? or can/should i just start with the install of 5.1 without deleting the 5.0 apps? Also, does anyone have any thoughts on running Motion on the Mac Book Pro? Using the 5.0 (non universal) version of Motion, the app would never open past the "opening startup screen" which is how i found out that i should get the universal crossgrade, so hopefully this will solve that problem and run smoothly??? thanks for any help in advance...

your best bet is to wipe your harddrive and do a clean install of the os and it's updates, then your software.
simply deleting fcp from your applications folder won't uninstall the application.
do a search in the motion forum for operating on a macbook pro, you'll find people do with great success.

    I don't think this will fix your problem with restoring your iPhone 4 though. That is likely a seperate issue.
    but i can do it with any windows?
    Yes, you can theoretically restore your iPhone with any computer running the most current version of iTunes (10.6.3) unless there is some other issue.
    I get error code(21)
    According to this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21:
    "These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."
    Do you run any anti-virus or third-party firewalls on your computer? Try disabling them and trying the restore process again. It may be possible that one of these security applications is interfering with the iPhone's ability to authenticate with Apple's servers.

  • What is best way to UNINSTALL FCP studio2

    I just upgraded to FCP Studio 2 and things are not right. Compressor is not working and missing elements, soundtrack pro is messed up and I'm not too sure about motion and color. What is the proper way to uninstall so I can do a fresh install.
    Message was edited by: ronsuss

    If it were me, I'd perform and erase and install of your OS, update it, then install the Studio 2 software. You'll need the old serial number is all from the earlier version. This is what I've done for years with new FCP software, or any time a new OS is installed. It's served me extremely well.
    Keep in mind if you're going to use the same startup disk, you need to back up the data you intend to keep. like mail, docs, and maybe fonts you've added. I use a second hard drive for this myself, and migrate from old startup disk to new once I know that the new install is good to go... After a while I trash the old startup disk for a new install down the line. Works wonders.

  • Best ways to run FCP 10.1 and FCP 7 on same machine?

    I though I understood this complication was resolved with the introduction of FCP 10.1.  Is having FCP 10.1 and FCP7 on the same drive and partition still a problem.  I have partitioned my SSD Boot drive in case if it is, however had planned on using only half for Applications ONLY and the other half for occasional projects.  I really didn't want any applications (FCP 10.1) on a cluttered partition.
    I thought I read about a work around to keeping FCP 10.1 and 7 together in the same application partition.  It had something to do with just taking all the application out of the old Final Cut Studio folder and just dropping them in the (root) folder.  If this is really possible, this sounds like the best solution to my issue.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can lend me.

    Yikes.  Ok Ok.  Im going to load Mavericks then load FCP 10.1 in the same Applications folder as my current Final Cut Studio.
    If anyone has any second thoughts or additional warnings please let me know.
    I will give an update ASAP.
    Thank you.
    As Ian has discussed loading the apps is a piece of cake.
    What can happen if you have updated over one or more Operating Systems is that any "bad luggage" contained in a previous system can be inherited.
    That is why a "Clean install" is done.
    Another thing worth considering is using another drive altogether to load Mavericks "Clean Install" and boot from that. It's called dual boot.
    This would leave you existing drive and stuff untouched.
    Your call on this.

  • Best way to transfer video between iphone and mac wirelessly?

    Please suggest me the best way to transfer files between mac and iphone wirelessly.Mainly for videos.

    If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

  • Best Way to Aggregate Multiple Announcement Apps and Possibly External RSS Feed

    Hello,
    I have two separate announcement apps (one in sub-site A, and one is sub-site B). I am trying to create a webpart that will display content from both apps together.
    I have tried to setup a CSWP and have been able to set the query to pull in the data (Although it shows expired announcements, which I would need to eliminate). Now, I am trying to customize the display of the CSWP, including the property mapping values
    to display the announcement title (currently working with the URL as a link) and body (truncated like the announcement summary view if possible).
    How can I get the body from the announcement to display? The 'body' field isn't listed as an option in the drop down list of mapping values. Do I need to toggle an option on the separate announcement apps, create a column, map a field, or some combination?
    Also, I'd like to know if it is possible to add in an external RSS feed. Or, if there is a completely different way to approach and accomplish this, please let me know.
    Thank you

    Best way to keep files on IMac and Macbook Pro in Sync

    Hi ...
    Using the Migration Assistant would be tedious and time consuming.
    You can setup an iCloud account and sync your Macs since you have Lion installed on both. If you have iCloud enabled, if for example you add a bookmark in Safari, that bookmark will sync via your Wi-Fi network to the other Mac automatically.

    Get a third drive if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, set it not to exclude that drive, and drag the files to it. If you're moving an iTunes or iPhoto library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose the moved library.

  • How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?

    Hi,
    How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?
    I've got a new computer and I want to uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on the new system. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but a bunch of other applications have easy 'uninstall' functions right in the application toolbar. Why doesn't Quicktime?????
    Thanks.

    I've read that Q/T is not just a simple application but in reality, a major component of the OS. This is where it varies from other similar acting apps like WMV, AVI, FLV etc. To butress this statement, in a vague way, I remember seeing a graphic of the Mac OS when Apple was first pushing "X". QuickTime was in the same general area of depth in programming as UNIX.
    So, you might not want to delete all of QuickTime just the Reg Key which should/could/might put you back to the non Q/T Pro functionality and thence legal to install on another machine.
    Just be certain that the version on the new machine is the same as on the old machine or expect to buy a new $30 key.
    Cheers-
    Mark
