I can't get Final Cut back on my Macbook Pro

When I first installed Final Cut Studio on my Macbook Pro back in 2007, I manually removed the apps I didn't use that often to save space b/c my hard drive was almost full. I eventually removed all the apps from Studio, dragging them all to the trash can. Also deleted their folders in Library -> App Support to make room on the hard drive.
But now when I try reinstall these apps from the installation discs, Final Cut and others (like Soundtrack, Motion, etc.) are grayed out on the list, so I can't install them.
Did I go about deleting them in an incorrect manner that is now preventing me from adding them back?

You're wasting time because you have chosen to without provision. The first act performed upon receiving Final Cut installation disks is to create disk images of the application disks. Not only for backup but for time saving. Then if/when the time comes that you have to re-install the application you simply mount the disk images and perform the installation from them. This saves you the time of having to manually be there to swap through the DVD installation disks and the application is installed much faster because the installation is being read from your HD vs. the DVD's. Not to mention the time it takes to create the disk images in the first place mind you. Just do that during your off time. Create one when you wake up, one during your morning bike ride, one during your lunch hour, one during your evening bike ride, one during dinner, one while you're watching Survivor, and one before bed. Then boom - the next time you come into trouble and have to re-install everything from OS up you're optimized for a quick turnaround on your FCS re-installation. I do this for Macs in the classroom that need to be wiped clean for new lessons.
It takes about 15 mins. to install Snow Leopard on a blank HD and about and hour and a half to install FCS3 from the DVD's. Hardly a day or two. You can cut the FCS3 installation down to about 15 mins. if the application is saved to disk images on a mounted hard drive. So within 30 mins. you'll have a fresh OS and FCS installation using the method described.

Final Cut on 2.66 Macbook Pro?

Hey everybody, last year I purchased a 2.66 GHz unibody Macbook pro, and I want to start doing my video editing on it since I already use it for everything else. I have used Sony Vegas on a pc until now, and find it to be a pretty decent editor, but I would really rather be able to do it all on my laptop and with Final Cut Pro.
So my question is this, will Final Cut run smoothly on this computer? I tried the demo of adobe premier a few months ago, and HD footage from my HV-20 was really choppy to edit with, and not at all smooth looking in the preview window. From what I've heard Final Cut should run much smoother, but I was hoping someone on here might be able to tell me for sure on if this will work well, Vegas will run a really smooth preview even with hd footage and without any pre-rendering.
Oh, and here is the full specs for the laptop.
2.66 Ghz
4gb DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB + NVIDIA GeForce 9600M 256 MB
Also, does final cut require you to render your footage before you can edit it with a real time preview?
Thanks for any help, and to be clear, I understand that it will technically run on this computer, based on system requirements, I'm just wondering if it will run well.

Welcome to the Boards
You can get it running well, and you should use another Codec (i.e., make the footage Pro Res) Alot of it depends on configurations and what you are doing with the footage. The more things you add (corrections etc.) it can slow things down - some things can be real time, some may not.
A high end tower configured properly (even an older tower) will often perform better than a newer laptop.
In other words, it may or may not be better depending on set up and other factors. That being said, I have done alot of editing on my laptops and it has been fine, but for some things it is not the same as a tower, PC or otherwise. Also my laptops spec out less than the one you have, other than having an express slot to hook up eSata dribes. (You want to have footage on drives other than your laptop drive for better performance.)

Final cut studio 2 and macbook pro 17?

I'm anxious to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, and a new MacBook Pro 17" laptop. Is FCS2 and this laptop 100% compatible? Will I be able to install and run FCS2 on this laptop successfully?
Laptop specs:
MacBook Pro 17" Notebook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, TI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor, dual -ink DVI support, 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, external 500G hard drive for video storage (firewire 800).
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Well those that have tried running FCS 2 on a 17" laptop can't talk. It's not released yet...
However there is no reason why it shouldn't work well. Add an Io HD to the mix, and you'll edit HD on it all day long... we were showing this in the AJA booth at NAB a couple of weeks ago. Apple was running it too on laptops in their booth...
Figure it should be fine. With the advent of Pro Res, there's little you couldn't edit on a MBP... however there are some things you'll not be editing with it, such as 2 k files, or uncompressed HD. Pro res takes care of that though. It's really visually lossless.

Will Final Cut express work with MacBook Pro??

I am new to Mac and got my first Mac, MacBook pro. 2.4GHZ - 2.o Gig Memory.
Will this be enough or is there an hardware requirement that macbook pro does not come with?
iMovie 08 does not have the effects I was using in the old PC. Slow motion, combining many audio tracks, cross fade etc.
Thanks

Final Cut Pro is the same program (to all intents and purposes) as Final Cut Express and requires the same power of computer - no more, no less.
For most people, FCP will not do anything that FCE can't - apart from allowing you to use formats such as DVCPRO etc. that amateurs are unlikely to use. All the filters and transitions are exactly the same except for a couple of insignificant ones.
The only reason for buying FCP is in order to get all the other programs that are bundled with it.

ITunes purchased movies do not run on macbook pro retina display - Error message: HDCP not supported.

Hello community,
If i try to play a iTunes purchased movie on may Macbook Pro 15 Retina, a Error message comes up "HDCP not supported". I try to run it on the notebook screen, I have not plugged in any external device (monitor, beamer..).
Full Error message in german:
Der gewählte Film kann auf dem angeschlossenen Bildschirm nicht wiedergegeben werden.
Dieser Film kann nur auf Bildschirmen wiedergegeben werden, die HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) unterstützen.
Any ideas?

I had this same problem. What worked for me- not sure which one did it, but I went to System Preferences-Displays, and I turned off "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" and I also changed my resolution from "Best for retina display" to scaled "More Space". The other scaling options seemed to do similar.

Problem installing Final Cut Studio 2 on MacBook Pro

I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 on a MacBook Pro / Snow Leopard but when it comes to choosing install options Final Cut Pro is greyed out and just says skip.
I've done some research and found people with the same problem but none of the fixes I've seen have worked. I also have Logic Pro installed - which I installed first - which seems to be causing the problem. I've tried removing Logic but am still seeing the same problem.
Besides a clean install does anyone have any suggestions?

Read this article on how to install final cut pro after logic studio.

My Kingston usb is showing on desktop but not running in macbook pro with retina display...

showing message : kingston is not spourting os x

Its possible to replace it yes. Its not easy, as you have to dissasemble the MacBook to get to it.
The drive you want is not compatible. The drive in current 2014 MacBoock Pro´s is not even a Sata type drive. Its a PCie Blade type drive.

Final Cut Keyboard Template for MacBook Pro

I saw a rubberized FCP keyboard template that overlays the keyboard on a MacBook Pro, but can't remember where I saw it... Has anyone seen one? I might have seen it in a UK publication...

I am running a MacBook Pro with 10.7.5 and I downloaded the OS X 10.10.2 Update Combo, however when I try and open the package the error message "This volume is used for TimeMachine-backups". Which is not true. I´m using TimeCapsule.

I am running a MacBook Pro with 10.7.5 and I downloaded the OS X 10.10.2 Update Combo.
When I try and open the package after accepting the lincence-agreement and upon choosing the install-volume the error message appears: "This volume is used for TimeMachine-backups".
Which is not true. I´m using a timecapsule for backups.
How can I proceed?

I am using a MacBook Pro (2010) with 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB, 1067 MHz, DDR3, Startvolume Macintosh HD.
After downloading the package and starting upgrading it asks acceptance of the license-agreement. After that it asks for the volume were to install. And when I click on the Startvolume Macintosh HD (which is the only available on the machine) it says: "The volume is already being used for Time Machine-Backups".
It doesn´t offer to skip that point or to reconfigure the Time Machine settings.
The point is that my Time machine is not and has never used the Mac HD for Backups. In the past I have used an external drive and since 05/2014 I am using a Time Capsule which is appropriately addressed in the Time Machine settings.
