Final cut pro HD 2 not working with new updates

recently purchased a new imac. Most of my old programs were not supported. I updated to 10.9 from 10.5. Now, all the programs are running except Final Cut pro HD 2. I get a message sayin"power pc applications are no longer supported" Any suggestions? I read in an old discussion (from 2011) that I might need to download Rosetta?

... or you maybe able to run your version of Final Cut under virtualization software.
I do not know which version of FCP the OP is using as I do not recognize his designation of Final Cut Pro HD 2.
However, last weekend I attempted to install Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6) into Snow Leopard installed in Parallels, as a test.  It failed!
Final Cut's installer suggested the following problems: not enough VRAM - 64 needed; 0 present (even though Parallels is set for more than the minimum required VRAM); and a missing video card.
I attempted to work around this problem by using Pacifist to install FCS2, which worked, as far as the installation was completed.  However, when I attemped to run FCS2, a dialog box came up with indicated that same two problems and then it quit.

  • Final cut pro x dissolves not working

  • Final Cut Pro 2nd monitor not working properly?

    Been here before a long time ago, can't remember how it was resolved.
    Working in a new edit suite, FCP Studio.  Two new Samsung monitors (not my choice).  I want one to be my playback monitor.
    I set:
    Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings
    > Digital Cinema Desktop Full Screen
    > View > External Video > All Frames
    But all I'm getting is a black frame on the 2nd monitor.
    They've also got one of those very flat alluminum keyboards ... where F12 becomes a sound control.  I'd love to know how I can change the function key to work as an FCP action / 2nd monitor toggling on and off.
    That's two questions.  Would be most appreciative of an answer for either.

    Hey Andy,
    I did the first half of your suggestion, but not the second half.  Heading down to the studio this morning ... set up in a tiny white chapel looking out across the silvery North Atlantic ... and will try the second half of your suggestion.  Will also see if there are two graphics cards installed in the Mac Pro.  Will also check out the Window > Arrange in FCP (something I should have checked first off).
    I talked to a filmmaker who previously worked on the system, only to discover he never uses the second monitor as a full screen, but rather as a large 'bin'.  Interesting.
    If worse comes to worse and I can't solve it I suspect I could size the canvas window to super large and drag it over to the second monitor.
    Will post back when I've tried the latest suggestions ...
    Thanks you mucho guys,
    Ben

  • How do I make final cut pro 10.0.9 work with os x yosemite

    Was slow to upgrade desktop to Yosemite. Now find that Final Cut Pro version 10.0.9 will now open or work.  I've seen several posts - and have attempted those solutions but before I can get to it, the program automatically shuts down.  Any suggestions?

    Upgrade to the latest version of FCPX, which is necessary in Yosemite.

  • Is Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 working with OS X 10.10.3?

    Apple just updated OS X Yosemite to 10.10.3 and I'm using Final Cut Pro 10.1.4. Are there any reports of compatibility problems using FCPX with the latest
    OS X update?

    During an editing session yesterday of about 6 hours my Mac shut down twice for no apparent reason.
    This is the first time this has happened on this machine.
    Looks very much like a Kernel Panic to me.
    I was pushing the machine hard and it was heating up using AVCHD PAL 1920 x 1080P footage.
    Could be just too hot and it didn't it??
    Also getting a (new for me) Background Tasks busy when shutting down, there are no BG Tasks running that I'm aware of.
    The only thing changed is the move to 10.10.3.

  • Final Cut Pro won't fully open with new OS 10.10.3

    final cut pro version 10.2 will not open with OS 10.10.3. Rather, it starts to open in my project, then hangs up with the spinning wheel that never stops. I upgraded the OS to this one just last week and haven't been able to open fcp cc since then

    1. Can I rename the library as I wish to reflect the project topic?
    - Libraries can be named anything you wish.  Rename them in the Finder.  Or simply name them when you first create them.
    2. Can I safely drag it into the external drive so everything is in the same place and space is saved on the computer? I realize upon FCP start-up I'd have to locate the library to re-establish the connection.
    - You can move Libraries to any location you wish in the Finder.  If you don't want your media to do offline (relink), you can select the Library in the Browser, go to the Inspector, click the Consolidate button.  This puts everything physically inside the Library so it is self-contained.
    3. The library (on the computer hd) seems to create new libraries sometimes. One when I used FCP the first time. Another when I restarted using option/command, etc. Another with a little test video when I first purchased the program. Can I delete every single library (now in the movie folder) other than the one I am working on, or does the FCP system somehow need to hang on to one or more other libraries?
    - There has to be one Library open when you launch FCPX.  If you closed all your Libraries before quitting FCPX, then it will create a default Library in your Movies folder.  You can move unneeded Libraries to the trash in the Finder, FCPX doesn't care.

  • Final Cut Pro 4 won't work on new Dual Core PowerMac

  • Final Cut Pro X Export not working

    Running Final Cut Version 10.0
    Just upraded to OS X Mavricks.
    Go to export project in Final Cut - nothing happens. It's as if I clicked on nothing. Tried using the shortcut command+E - also nothing.
    Export Audio works but not Export Movie.
    Tried exporting using Compressor but given that program is a $50 piece of garbage, that didnt work either.
    What gives???

    Ok, found it !
    First of all, update FCPX. Then, you will not found your project. It's normal, it was my problem. But, the answer is just here: you need to udpate you file too. It's explained here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24788882#24788882
    Tell us if it's working.

  • Facetime not working with new update

    I updated my Ipod touch with the new operating system and facetime does not work anymore.
    I didn't update my husbands and his is working fine.
    I checked his options and we have the same set up.
    I even turned off facetime to reactivating it, thinking that it would need to be reactived and there is no difference.
    I tried to back up to the cloud to downgrade it, but it won't show me the status of the cloud, nor will it let me back up to it.
    Any suggestions ?

    Your welcome.
    It will work but you will have to contact your carrier to get a different plan.
    For instance I'm with AT&T on a grandfather plan unlimited data in order for me to use 3G - I will need to update my plan to "shared data plan". 
    I'm not willing to lose my unlimited data, just to use facetime over 3g when it works on wifi.  But that would be up the the user on what they feel is more important.
    Hope that clarifies things.

  • Final Cut Pro and Compressor not working

    I know this has been asked before, but I didn't find a solution to my problem yet.
    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, I can't export any movies.
    I get the following message: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
    And when I send the movie to compressor, I get the video rendering error: 60.
    I'm at a loss and would really apprecciate your help.
    Thanks

    It's probably the flux capacitor ... just give it a gentle but firm tap about 2 inches below the indent (just behid the mounting bracket) ... don't leave the tap on when you go out though or you will flood the bathroom.
    Hope it helps

  • CD/DVD PLAYER not working with new updates

    Yesterday or more accurately last night I updated my firm ware, Pro applications and system update at the same time.
    I'm very sad to say, now my brand new baby that I've had for mearly 2 weeks, does not have cd/dvd capabilities.
    It simply doesn't recognize the disc or mount it to the desktop. It's reading it, I can here it, it ejects it fine
    when I put the eject button.
    But I can't access or burn anything....HELP!
    New Imac (intel core 2 duo 2.33 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   updated firmware 1/23/07

    Like to ad today I tried a manufactured Music CD and it mounted and worked...automatically asking me what I wanted to do with the disc and opening itunes as I have in my pref's.
    This is good, I will now try a software disc...
    OK, that's working too, so far I'm just not able to recognize
    a blank cd, I will now try a blank DVD.
    OK, this worked too...
    Now going to try a different blank CD.
    OK, that worked too, not going to try a reinstall now
    of the system software, not going to worry about the firmware...
    must have been a defective CD I tried at first,
    can't believe I didn't try some other stuff before
    coming here, but it was good to read some others
    problems and solutions anyway.
    for the moment this problem is fixed....

  • Why do my apps not work with new update?

    A bunch of my apps crash and won't open since new update. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    you may need to update the particular apps that are causing you crashes. Go to the app store and tap "updates".
    You can also do this via itunes, click on "apps" on the left, then updates on the top and update all. then re-sync your phone.
    Hope this helps!
