Can´t reinstall Final Cut pro on my Macbook without Firewire

I can't install final cut pro in my new Macbook, should it be because of no firewire port.
It says "hardware problem"

Firewire port is not required to install Final Cut Pro. Take a look at the Final Cut Studio system requirements and cross-reference it with your system specifications to discover what hardware your computer is lacking.

Thanks, I have found this on the "APPLE" support site; Final Cut Pro X: How to remove and reinstall Final Cut Pro X on; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5149, which after reading through increased my trepidation ! Your directions are frightingly concise but Just what I needed..

Can you use Final Cut on the new Macbook without a firewire port?

I have a new Mac Book and am SO aggravated about the lack of a firewire jack. before I go buy a new video camera, can you even import video to Final Cut Express with a USB camcorder since it seems to ask for a firewire connection? Please, if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.

So why did you buy it? Most Macs have Firewire.
Most computers, never mind Mac, have Firewire... so you have to forgive him for assuming a premium-priced MacBook would have conformity to a common standard like Firewire 400.
USB camcorders use formats that use high compression to store the video files thereby lowering quality. This may be good enough to give you "decent footage" if so, then you won't have a problem using a USB camcorder. However I have never been happy with the quality that a USB camcorder provides (they always look grainy to me).
Moreover, AVCHD editing is a mess in it's current state. Files from camcorders may or may not work on the mac and even with a recent Intel machine and editing is very time consuming as there is lots of rendering needed to be done to output and archive projects. Clearly computing hardware and software has not caught up to AVCHD potential yet so it's astounding that Apple's consumer MacBook is incompatible with the way most people are transferring and editing video TODAY.

Can I run Final Cut Pro on a Macbook?

Hello,
Can somebody tell me if it is possible to run FCP on the new Macbook 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo laptops?
Are there any reported problems?
Thanks
Evanssent

It is possible but not recommended. The FCS specs are here.

Color and Motion won't even open but using FCP has been done. It depends on what kind of footage you plan on using. If you want to do HD you will have problems. SD should be okay.

HT3696 just wondering whether i can install final cut pro in my macbook air intel corei5

just wondering whether can i install final cut pro in my macbook air wth intel corei5 64bit

yes, you can. Its on mine.
If however you plan on anything other THAN simple cuts and simple edits, youre barking up the wrong tree.
Heavy layer and graphics additions or any serious vid. edits is not the forte' or platform for the macbook Air.
see here for the details:

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

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 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

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 ....

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.

Can I reinstall Final Cut X the correct way?

I downloaded Final Cut X and Motion 5 thinking they would sit on my Mac Pro Desktop until I installed them. I would then follow the Apple partiitioning instructions. Unfortunately, it appears that they both installed as they downloaded. I have not opened either yet.
How can I start over?

Not sure if you are aware that Apple recommends a separate start-up disk installation when one has the earlier version of Final Cut Studio. Or, they recommend partitioning a single start-up drive. I did neither thinking that after I downloaded the software I would be able to then install it after I prepared the disk. Hence, the dowload apparently has already installed causing me to hesitate to open the new version since Apple suggests keeping the old and new version very separate, which I have not done.
How might I fix this problem? This is why I asked "Can I reinstall Final Cut X the correct way?"

Can't Find Final Cut Pro with my admin user!

It was there, but I changed the name from the person I bought the macbook15 from and now all the settings and apps are set default.
Is there a way my main account (set to admin) can find Final Cut Pro (and maybe others) to appear on hard drive without having to use the old name and password?
If I create a new user with the name of the original account is simply says "Username already used". In other words, If I am to use the old username, I have to change my main admin account and go through that all over again.
Admin should mean, total control of the computer...
Also does deleting/changing the original user actually delete programs?? It shouldn't, the hard drive files should be left alone. I can't find Final Cut Pro on the drive at all, it seemed to only appear when I'm using the original user name.
Thoughts....discussions??
I'm using the latest Macbook Pro 15 and updates.

HT4664 Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?

Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?

depending on what model: for sure yes, it does!
I did use FCPX on an old MacMini, c2d, 2.26GHz with 8GB Ram (using proxies made editing easy).
My actual work-horse is a MacMini i5, late 2012, 16GB Ram, plus some ext. usb3 drives = perfect for my needs! (costs vs. power)
I'm using two cheap 2.5" Toshiba 1TB usb3-drives, combined with MacOS' built-in DiskUtility as a Raid0 = 150mbps for under 100€ ... not professional (=raid0 contains a small risk of data loss), but again: best €-vs.-HP ratio

Can't share final cut pro latest version across my macs.

I have purchased, for quite a bit of money, the latest Final Cut Pro for my macbook pro - 10.5.6, I think it is , - I really find all these decimal numbers meaningless, confusing and difficult to remember.
Still, I want to share the purchased fcp app so I can use it also on my macbook air.
Trouble is, my macbook pro runs on snowleopard, and the macbook air, which I bought more recently runs on mountain lion,.. no, just Lion....
This latest version of FCP is not supported by Lion (10.7.4), so my macbook air can't download it.
The solution to this problem may seem obvious to many, but I can't see it. And the problem is just nuts!
Any clues as to how to get my - later version - macbook air to work with the latest version of Final Cut Pro would be much appreciated. Taa

Lousy Fool
Sigh, the wink at the bottom really doesn't help you to get away with the patronism in your answer you know.
I know what OSX systems each of my macs run - 10.6.8 for the mcp and 10.7.4 for the mbair.
I don't want to "stress software update in the same apple menu" and move from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, because its my understanding from researching reviews on this forum, and from my own experience that updating the operating systems on macs can cause hassle. If I am wrong in this then thats my learning.
Finally, with regards to my expectations, it was a trainer at an applestore , fully aware that I was using these two operating systems, who suggested I upgrade my final cut pro. My expectations were that he knew what fcps compatibilities were.
Finally, what kind of company releases an upgrage system is compatible with an earlier version of its own software (10.6.8), but not with a later one (10.7.4). I do have expectations of apple being better than this.
This is only the second time I've come onto an apple forum to ask a genuine question that foxes me, and the second time I've received the kind of reply that its intended to put one down. Be aware of how your answers come across please.

Can't Open Final Cut Pro X

I can't open Final Cut Pro X. The problem seemed to start when I deleted some old backups. Help?

Close FCP X and re-open holding the Option key.
This will allow you to create a new Library, do so.
If the newly created Library works OK then there is a corruption issue in the current one that doesn't open.
Try a backup, usually found in your Home>Movies folder.
