Can You Reinstall FCP 7 Over An Existing FCP 7 Install?

I know this must seem like a stupid question, but my exisiting FCP 7 install has gone south and is acting squirrelly as all get out. Is it possible to throw in my FCS discs and just reinstall over the exisitng install? Will I lost my plugins in the process?
Or should I use something like Digital Rebellion's FCS remover first and essentially do a "clean" install?
Thanks for all comments.

Before you do either, have you tried to trash your FCP preferences?
Digital Rebellion also makes a free tool to do just that:

How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

Ho can you reinstall numbers?

Numbers refuses to open - "application not responding" - requiring a Force Quit. How can you reinstall numbers? There is no "download" option from the App Store.

SP,
First, Delete the app in LaunchPad, then Install will be offered in Mac App Store > Purchases.

Can you find if spyware or bugging software has been installed?

can you find if spyware or bugging software has been installed?

Not possible to install any software except from AppStore, unless
the iPhone is jailbroken. Is your iPhone jailbroken or has it been out
of your possession for a few hours so some else could have
jailbroken it?
Restore as new - not from backup.

Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed?

Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed? If so, do you still use the Option key upon restart?

I don't use Bootcamp. However, I do know that with a firmware password, pressing the option key at startup will cause the password entry screen to come up; after entering the password, you will get the boot device choice screen.
So, if Bootcamp partitions normally show up on that screen then it should work just fine, or so I'd imagine.

Can you reinstall OS X Mavericks without losing data

I think something happened to my operating system. I had to reset all permissions using the disk utility and now somethings just don't work right. For example: I can open system preferences, and when I click on iCloud, it says "loading" and then hangs up.
Can I reinstall Mavericks by downloading a copy from the app store and if so, will i lose any data?
Thanks

Hi RevRemM,
I'm not sure this can help but is it possible that you went over the limit of the iCloud data usage? I'm a bit old school but if you reinstall the OS be sure to backup every thing just incase of a problem. I've done a clean install a month ago and everything went perfect even with all my password and setting, since all my document from none apple apps are well clasified elsewhere no issue here. All was sync on the iCloud, thing is if you're having problem with iCloud my guess is that you verify if your material is on the cloud looking at icloud.com. You'll have to redo all your setting but all your document will be intact.
But yes you can reinstall over your actual system but a clean install is alway a bit cleaner.
Hope it help...

Can you intall snow leopard over itself?

Hey,
I know on Lion if you have a problem with the computer that isn't starting up you can reinstall Lion over itself and it won't effect any of your files.
My question is can you do this with Snow Lleopard or any other earlier versions of Macintosh.
I would imagine you will be able to do this with Mountain Lion too.
Thanks!

How can I reinstall FCP 7?

Final Cut 7 is crashing on launch. I went through the usual recommended troubleshooting steps to no avail. Following suggestions, I used FCS Remover to start from scratch. I reached into my cabinet to reinstall from the origianl FCS 2 disks but they won't work with the current generation OS Mavericks. So I tried to reinstall from my FCS UPgrade disks, but since FCP has been removed in previous steps, the installer won't allow that upgrade :-(
Any thoughts?

MtD,
Thanks for taking time to reply. The following is a screen shot of the FCS installer:
Up to this point I have not been asked for any serial #s. As you can see, the Final Cut Pro option is greyed out and therefore not selectable. I don't need to reinstall the other apps as I no longer use them. I only use FCP 7 for legacy projects. When I go forward and deselect those files I don't wish to install, it still doesn't allow FCP to install.

How many times can you reinstall Mountain Lion?

Since I bought the Early 2013 15" MacBook Pro retina laptop used only 17 battery cycles on it now (2.7 with 16GB ram running Mt. Lion) computer I have not reset it. I spoke to Apple and it is registered in my name, I made a new Admin. account and password and Apple had me delete the original owners. I took off anything he had left on it. Applecare also I bought in my name. Apple said I didn't have to reset it and would be fine so I left it. They deauthorized the previous iunes account and the previous owner gave me his ID to deauthorize the computer. It was already deauthorized when I checked. He then changed his password for his security. It runs beautifully and has a Samsung screen.
I deleted the iLife apps and were going to buy them in my name (as his ID came up for updates) but now can't redownload in my name as it says I need Maverick OSon it to do so. I left the Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on it. If I contact Apple will they give me a redemption code for my name or how do I get older versions?
If I reset to new how many times am I able to reinstall Mountain Lion? If I decide to sell it later will I be able to reset it again with no problem for the new owner?
Thank you for your help. This forum is a source for many of us new owners to solve things.

As long as you do the download with your Apple ID, it'll be in your name. Reverting back can be a little involved. If you have that in mind, you should make a full backup of your clean install of ML and save it somewhere. Then you can just copy the image back with Carbon Copy Cloner. External drives are cheap, that's how I'd do it.

Can you send FCP project files through email?

If all of a projects original capture footage is copied to another hard drive and then opened with the copied saved project file on another computer, will the "new" copied project work correctly?
Can you send project files back and forth through email if your both working with the same exact copied footage?
powermac g5 2.0 DC; powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I use iChat to send project files. I've even used it to send a missing media file here and there (overnight, of course). < </div>
iChat is tremendously under-used and misunderstood application. Being able to transfer h-u-g-e files without FTP, connecting to a server, connecting to the target Shared folder or drop box or stooping to the hassles of email is only one fascinating aspect of this cool little tool.
The Macintosh OS is full of such things.

How can I reinstall deleted free Apps which now show as installed but are not actually there?

How can I reinstall free Apps that I have deleted (because ALL stopped working) which now show as installed but are not actually there?
I loaded a bunch of free Apps (maybe too many?) right after I got my 4s yesterday, and at some point I noticed that none of the downloaded Apps would work. The screen would blink when I tapped the icons, but the Apps stopped opening. Resetting the phone didn't help, so I decided to delete all the Apps I had downloaded and start over.
I can get the "Purchased" list to show up by pressing Updates button (is there another way?) but the show as "installed" in greyed-out letter, so I can't figure out how to get them back.

Your iPad screens aren't completely filled up are they? If they are, you will only be able to find them using the search feature on the iPad.

No tool bar in Indesign - can you reinstall plugins? How?

Hi
Recently downloaded the latest updates from Indesign - all EXE and ink files in my computer were taken over by Extension Manager. While getting a techo to fix this - I noticed he deleted a few plugins in Extension Manager, at least I think that's what he did.
Computer now fine, but when re-opening Indesign.
1. No toolbox on left sidebar - tried TAB got nothing.
2. Menu along the top only appears if you click on a text box in previous document
Obviously no toolbar - can't put any text box or images box etc into new document.
When opening Indesign this is what I get.
eg? Can't load Dynamic documentswi.apln transform panel
Install Transform Panel Plug-in, restart Indesign
Also for Graphic Panel, Output miscui.apln requires Swatches plug-in and a few others object style, transparency ui, text colour panel, text wrao, layout adjustment the list goes on.
And never did get that new update - overlay creator uploaded and working - stalls says it can't open after zip file loads.
A/ Do I need to just reinstall the plug-ins they are asking for - how would I do this? Any help appreciated.
B/ How do I get the new upgrade working if I can't run the zip file?
Thanks

Think I'm out of my depth in terms of ability to follow your instructions and experiment. InDesign plugin disabled makes sense - but where to find how to fix it based on your thoughts above, you've lost me!!
Sorry. In one of the myriad of directories, that file may exist. If it does, you may safely remove it -- then InDesign will use all installed plugin files. (If removing files makes you nervous, as it should, then you can just move it to the Desktop or some other temporary location or name so you could always put it back.)
As for Extension Manager I ran it and while everything listed against InDesign is ticked, some are greyed out but they are ticked - (Aside: I can't see any point in this program - I open it and have no idea what's it's supposed or not supposed to do. Other than uninstall stuff. Don't get it's usefulness.)
I think it's not quite fully baked but that they're planning to improve the situation in the future. Think of it as a work-in-progress.
Pretty frustrating this end - have no idea what to do next. Guess whilst I can look for the plugin's txt file - wouldn't know what to do if I did or did not find them!
Yes, do that. Find it and remove it.
What would you suggest? Buy another Indesign? Don't really want to do that -
It also won't help.
Another computer would work. Oh, you might also try another user account on the same computer.
The preference files I'm thinking of should be per-user (I think).
Alternatively I can "open" txt and image boxes in Indesign by placing a photo or copying some txt from word - then delete both but the boxes remain:) Awesome Adobe 2011:)
Gotta say, I don't think this one is quite Adobe's fault. I suppose they gave you (or your technician) enough rope to hang yourself, but it's not like you should expect the program to work if you randomly go in break off a few pieces on the inside and toss them in the trash...
