Can't Re-install Compressor or Q-Master

This all began with Compressor not submitting a batch, instead giving this error:
"Please restart your computer or verify your Compressor installation is correct"
So per various postings and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888, I moved forward with reinstalling Compressor and Qmaster, following all the steps Apple suggests, including uninstalling Motion. However, when I run the FC Studio installer, all packages but Motion are grayed out as well as the Continue button. I checked my Receipts folder and no Final Cut/ProApps receipts appear to be in there. So now I'm stumped.
FWIW, my Compressor issue seems to have arisen after upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. And I have Final Cut Studio 2.

Upgrading is bad. Final Cut Studio is complex with lots of files and frameworks dotted about the system. When you upgrade, it's very easy for these files to be removed, replaced or set with incorrect permissions. That's why it's recommended to install your OS from scratch or at the very least, remove Final Cut Studio and reinstall it.
Here is a guide to reinstalling Compressor / Qmaster:

"Quicktime MPEG-2 playback disabled..." - Can't re-install Compressor!

I just updated my system to SL today. Because of the MPEG2 playback problem in QT, I followed the instructions on this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3176
Since my updates including Pro updates were always done and that I'm usin LS 2009, I followed the last set of instructions on that page.
But when I get to re-installing Compressor from my install DVD, Compressor cannot be checked at all so I can't install it. I've still got the old Compressor in the Trash, but I've already performed the other operations.
What now? Thanks for any help!

Use this to uninstall Compressor the proper way: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm
FWIW, it is often best practice when installing a new OS to do a "clean install." That involves backing up or cloning your boot drive (or better yet, install a brand new one), then install the new OS, repair permissions, run Software Update, repair permissions, then install the applications. Repair permissions after each install and be sure to run Software Update as well.

If you install a brand new hard drive, or if you cloned your old one, the old hard drive or the clone can serve as a backup should you ever need to revert back to your old system

Can I re-install Compressor 4 on a second computer? If so, how?

I recently bought Compressor 4 through the app store onto my MacBook Pro where I am learning FCP X. I now wish to install it on my MacPro. How do I do that? Thanks. [email protected]

You can install it on both computers with one purchase. Make sure both computers have the same (Mac) App Store account before you down load Compressor. Once you pay for it and download to the first computer you can download it on the other computer. The second computer will have an install button for Compressor.

I try to install my creative suite master collection (student version) on my new mac. the point is that when I want to write the product key. The computer does not accept the number 3. so what can I do ?

Can you use the number 3 key elsewhere?

Can't open and (re)install Compressor, Qmaster & Qadministrator

Okay, so have bought a mac with FCS3 a couple of weeks ago. I installed almost all of the Studio software without any problems, except for Compressor Qadministrator and Qmaster.
I'm having a problem starting up these three programs. If I want to open them they give the following error: "You can't open Qadministrator/Compressor/Qmaster because it's possibly damaged or incomplete" (please note this is not the exact message, it's a rough translation from Dutch).
I tried reinstalling Compressor, but everytime I try the Compressor option in the FCS installation menu is greyed out.
Has anyone encountered this problem before and does anyone know a solluton for this? I'm pretty new on Apple software so it might be something I could have easily overlooked. I already tried doing software updates (completely up to date).
Thanks for your help!

Compressor is part of the default install for FCS. If you want to only install parts of the Studio, you can use Pacifist:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
This will let you select exactly what you want. Make sure that you always uninstall/reinstall Compressor and QMaster as a set.

You can't get there with GUID/GPT.
There are tips on making a USB flash device that is bootable.
You can set aside a small 6GB partition somewhere and put Windows 7 installer there and run it WHILE IN Windows.
Windows Vista can be upgraded in place to 7 RC.
You'll need NTFS (30-50GB).
Windows doesn't support FW for booting.
You can create a drive that has Master Boot Record.

How to install creative suite 5 master collection?

I am having two files of Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection[Windows] -
1) Disk1.iso - 7.09 GB [7.09 GB after extraction]
2) Disk2.iso - 6.10 GB [6.17 GB after extraction]
NOTE : I am not having the DVDs or CDs of the CS5 master collection. I am just having the files on my hard disk.
I extracted them with WinRAR. After that I got the extracted files of both disks. I navigated to ..../...../Adobe CS5/Disk1/Adobe CS5/Set-up.exe. The Disk1 is having setup files. The Disk2 is having only a folder named 'payloads' and many folders within that too. But there is a folder with the same name on Disk1. But the 'payload' folder of Disk2 is very larger in size as compared to that of Disk1. And there is no such 'set-up.exe' file on Disk2.
The setup (on disk1) runs perfectly. I want to install CS5 master collection completely (I mean that including all the softwares like Ps, Pr, In, Ae, etc. and all other contents). But I am wondering that how can I completely install CS5 Master Collection when only contents of one disk is installed. So, I not installed that because I wanted no problems.
Can anyone tell me that how can I install this software completely? Do I have to copy contents of 'payloads' ( which is on disk2) to the 'payload' folder of Disk1?
Will I require to first burn the ISO files on two separate DVD and then begin installation process? Is the Disk2 just having waste contents?
Please tell me the whole installation process after clicking the "install" button.

Yes, you have to copy the contents of Disk2 to Disk1 contents the way you said. Or you can follow the steps in following kb article to install the software -

(see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

I am trying to install CS 5.5 master and I have mac 10.7. Why does it say my machine doesn't meet minimum requirements?

What processor are you using? Which Mac are you installing this on? How much memory do you have installed? You can find the system requirements listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-master-collection.ht ml#main_CS5_Master_Collection_system_requirements. You will want to make sure that you meet or exceed each of these requirements.

Can't un-install Creative cloud due to Core Sync

Hi I have a problem with my Adobe Creative Cloud in that when I un-installed it through Control Panel a it's folder was left in the Program Files x64 and there is a file in there called CoreSync_v_1_1_0_x64.dll which is preventing me from deleting the Creative Cloud File which means I can't re-install CreativeCloud because when I try to re-install it it says I don't have access to that file although I am an Administrator account and have access to do anything with that file!
I am completely confused and don't know what to do
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Hi there,
Here are the specs for my computer.
MacBook Pro
Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014
Version 10.10.1 (14B25)
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I have the original install discs for CS6 Master Collection.
It use to work on my old laptop which is a mid-2010 macbook pro
I am using an account with admin priviledges.
When I migrated the information from my old laptop to my new laptop, all the software copied over, but wouldn't launch.
So I tried to reinstall the software with the original discs and I get this...
I've used the adobe cleaner and tried to uninstall everything and reinstall everything, but I still get the above screen.
On top of that, I'm trying to install the creative cloud app, and I finally got it to install, but it just has a blank screen.
Ideally I would like to have my CS6 installed and also the creative cloud app.
both aren't working. please help!

Can't Re-install Mail

I am running Leopard 10.5.8 on my iMac and I am trying to re-install mail from my master DVD (10.5.4), but when I try to open it I get a message saying 'This version of mail will not run on this computer'. How can I solve this?
Thank You.

You need to reinstall 10.5.8 but you need to use the Combo Updater in order to update the version you reinstalled to the current version. Download the Combo Updater at support.apple.com/downloads/.

Hi MarcoMazzone,
Please open finder and then go to Applications/utilities/Adobe Installers/
You might find the uninstallers for CS6 ( design prem/stndard or master collection) or Photoshop CS6.
If you see any of them just double click on the uninstaller and follow the prompts on the screen to uninstall the product.
Close Adobe application manager and reopen it, You will see the photoshop as available.
Thanks
Kapil Rupani

Since installing Firefox Sync my master password is requested randomly.

Since installing Firefox Sync my master password is requested randomly. is there a way of stopping this happening.

Somewhere around Firefox 29, Firefox changed how Sync accounts work. Please see this article for more information: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]. If you can't do that in Firefox 33, you may want to install Firefox 29 temporarily to do the account change, and then update to Firefox 33. This article has information on how to find clean old versions of Firefox: [[Install an older version of Firefox]].

Why is it in a disk image? (I use CarbonCopyCloner, not SuperDuper).
I call it that because I thought that was what SD termed it. When I open any of the backup files, they mount like a disk image so, to me, that's what it is. Sorry if my terminology confused things.
Pondini wrote:
Can you boot your Mac from the drive? If so, it's just a normal clone, not a disk image.
I believe so. (However, it's a ML system and all the other computers in the house, except the dead one, still run Snow Leopard.) In any case, the file is a sparse bundle.
Pondini wrote:
If so, your solution is easy -- use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up. Select From Another Disk when asked if you want to Transfer your data. See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for the gory details. It can transfer everything but OSX -- apps, user accounts and data, settings, etc. It's similar to Migration Assistant, but avoids some possible problems.
That sounds ideal. However, my Master Plan ran into a snag late yesterday. I tried to create a backup (using SD) to get the latest stuff into an image, but SD gave an error message when it encountered one of the files (the Parallels app, which happens to be the very app that we're most keen to migrate over intact. The error message (using AAA and BBB in place of the full paths) read:
Error copying /Volumes/AAA to /Volumes/BBB of type 8 due to error 7: Argument list too long
The file in question is one of the files internal to the Parallels app itself
(Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher)
so I don't know if I have options to work around this and have SD go to completion. SD aborted when it hit that error.
I have a couple of days to play around with this, to try to get a more recent backup. Otherwise, I'll have to ponder the alternatives.
Thanks for the good discussion and tips!
