Final Cut Studio Installation problem HELP!

Hi
Ive just bought Final Cut Studio and have a laptop G4 and a new G5.
I previously had FCP 4.5 in the G4 and updated to 5.1 with Final cut studio.
Then I installed the Final Cut Studio on the G5. Initially I got an error message: "Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
I continued installing the software which took around an hour to load all different parts of studio package.
I tried to open the various programs but when I entered the serial number I get a message "Licensing error, This application cannot continue because the licensing data is corrupt."
I get this error message even when I try to open Motion or DVD studio Pro which I didnt install on the G4.
The licence on FC studio states that the software can be used on 2 computers (one laptop and one standalone) but not at the same time.
So am I able to use the software on the G5?
Many thanks in advance

1. Turn off caps lock on your keyboard.
2. Use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone your internal hard drive.
3. Use the Installation disks that came wiith your computer to Erase and Install Mac OS X on your internal hard drive. Use Software Update to get your copy of Mac OS to the latest version.
4. Repair Permissions.
5. Install Final Cut Studio. Use Software Update to get your copy of Final Cut Studio to the latest version.

Help with installing Final Cut Studio package

I have a copy of Final Cut Studio 2.0.1. I would like to know if there is a way to create an image file to combine all disks into 1 file. This would help in installing, since I only have one set of disks. I don't want to risk ruining any of the disks, since I have a lab of 30 computers to install Final Cut Studio 2 on.
I have the following disks:
Final Cut Studio Install
Audio Content 1
Audio Content 2
Audio Content 3
Motion Content
LiveType Media 1
LiveType Media 2
DVD Studio Pro Content
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

Shane, I have all 8 FCP disks saved as a dmg file. I am currently storing these in a share on our NEW Apple XSERVE. I have tried mounting all of the 8 dmg files to the desktop of the iMac, that I'm wanting to install on. But this takes an unusally long time, I cancelled it after a couple days of it trying to mount the images to the desktop.
I'm very green to using Apples, just something that has been dropped in my lap.
Is there a way that I can mount these images in the folder on the Xserve? of is using a portable HDD the only way to do it.

Help please importing mpeg files to be edited with Final Cut Studio

Hey everyone, new to the video editing thing. I have a JVC GY-HM100U Pro HD camcorder and a MacBook Pro 5,1 with 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 GB 1067 MHz DPR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M & NVIDIA GeForce 9600MGT running OSX 10.5.8. Have recorded footage in mpeg4 and want to now edit using Final Cut Pro 7. Have downloaded Quicktime Pro and am still getting a "the movie could not be opened when trying to import the mp4 file. The movie contains some invalid data" window when trying to open the mpeg4 file. I have also downloaded DivX, FF Player, & Handbrake if these help convert to another supported file format. Please help!

That camera is promoted on the JVC website as being Final Cut Pro compatible.
Have you tried to import the clips via Log & Transfer?
You might also want to read up on the [workflow for that type of camera|http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/professionalformatsandwork flows/#chapter=6%26section=0].
Have downloaded Quicktime Pro....
QuickTime Pro is installed automaticallly with Final Cut Studio. No need to buy it again.
I have also downloaded DivX, FF Player, & Handbrake...
That software is all pretty much useless for working with Final Cut Studio.
MPEG Streamclip is free and much better.

Help in installing Final Cut Studio 5.1 Academic

Help! I had to uninstall old versions of Final Cut Studio.
I now am trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 Academic. Installer rejects the serial number every time. I don't know what to do.
It's a valid serial number; I have the packaging right here in front of me. It's old (purchased November 2006) but that shouldn't matter, right?
Please help.

Hello Brian,
Thanks for the reply. I was able to read the disc on my Macbook Pro and I copied all of the folders on the install disc onto my flash drive. I plugged it into my iMac and it gave me the following error message: The alias "Install Final Cut Studio" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found. Delete Alias, Fix Alias, or OK. Deleting the alias just moves the install file to the trash bin. Fixing the Alias asks me to Choose the item that you want alias to "Install Final Cut Studio" to open.
I could not figure out what to do after this. Any clues?
Thanks again.
Steve

Help! Final Cut Studio broke Quicktime!

A G5 at work used for multimedia production started having a lot of problems, including, but not limited to, QT not launching. I erased the hard drive and reinstalled Tiger (x.4.6). QT launched as it should. Alright! Then I reinstalled Final Cut Studio. Now QT will not launch. Neither will Soundtrack. I deleted all QT prefs, installed the ProAppRuntime.pkg (read that in a post in the FCP forum). Did all the things I could find posted in Discussions. Nothing. I REALLY need this computer to be back up and running. Any and all help would be appreciated!

Sorry for the long delay in replying.
I'd already tried trashing the QT prefs (it was QT that wasn't working). Alas, trashing the FCP prefs didn't help. I erased the hard drive again and started over. This time I installed OS x.4.5, which is what it was running originally. I then installed the FCS apps one at a time. After some painstaking troubleshooting, it turned out that QT 7.0.4 stopped running the second FCP 5 was installed. Downgrading to QT 7.0.3 fixed that. All the FCS apps were then updated to the latest versions, except for Soundtrack. Even under QT 7.0.3, Soundtrack had to remain at 1.0 to work. As far as I know (it's not my computer), everything works fine now.
I've since found a couple posts about QT 7.0.4 not launching if FCP is installed. I guess I didn't use the right search term when I was looking for this before having to erase the HD twice! Oh well.
Thanks for your input.

Help Locating my serial number for Final Cut Studio?

Can anyone help me in Locating a serial number for my Final Cut Studio??-- I dont know where the booklet "installing your software" is --i have all other disks and books-- i need to upgrade from FCP5.1 to 6.2

The booklet is the only place where you can find the serial #.
There is a file on your computer, but it is encrypted.
You might be able to get the number from the splash screen (Final Cut Pro > About Final Cut Pro) but I have heard that it is not displayed in full in some releases. It certainly displays in full on the FCP 7 splash screen.
Should none of the above help, follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861

Help Me about Final Cut Studio Upgrade.

I'm a student studied Editing in KOREA.
I had used Final Cut Studio 5.1 now.
and I wanted to upgrade FCP Studio 7. so I bought Final Cut Studio Upgrade 7 last week.
And then I tried to installed, and I sucessed upgrade once. but it was not perpectly.
So I re-installed from beginning(FCPS 5.1) yesterday.
But now I can upgrade to FCPS 7 from FCPS 5.1.
Because It said "My serial number is not vaild." again and again.
(so I did format my mac book pro. and I installed from beginning, Mac OS X, iLife, iWork...FCPS 5.1. But I have same problem."
I can't understand this situation. and I don't know the solution.
I'm sorry to no support line about software in KOREA. T.T
I need your help!!!!!!!

If your 5.1 version was an academic version, it is not eligible for upgrade.
But you say that the upgrade installed once, but not "perpectly" (whatever that means). Specifically, what went wrong with the first install?
By the way, you don't need to have the older version on your computer to install an upgrade; all you need is the serial number from a legal RETAIL copy. If you own a legal retail copy (not academic) and are still having installation problems, contact Apple.

As i was installing Final Cut Studio i cancelled it while entering the details, to go to bed. I tried to reopen the installer window and it just comes up with a Terminal Text Window, can anyone help?

As i was installing Final Cut Studio i cancelled it while entering the details, to go to bed. I tried to reopen the installer window and it just comes up with a Terminal Text Window, can anyone help?
It may have half installed the software so dose anyone know if i can reinstall or delete what it has installed?

after using FCS remover run disc repair:
shut down the Mac
Hold the Shift key on keyboard and start up the Mac
The Mac will run the repair tasks it takes 10- 30 minutes, then it will boot up normally
insert the FCS DVD in the drive and install FCS again.

*** Help finding update for FInal Cut Studio

I'm running FCP 5.0.4 but need to be on the version my new editor is using (5.1.3). I've tried to go to the Apple site, and I've downloaded the 5.1.3 update, but it won't let me update unless I do some updates in between which I can't find.
Can anyone send me the links I need to get from 5.0.4 to 5.1.3?

It's really important to keep your discs. Ignoring this crossgrade issue, what would you have done had your system drive crashed and you'd simply had to reinstall the software? Always keep your original software discs somewhere safe.
As to the 'unusual and unreasonable' issue, you're not the first or last to complain about this - none of us were very happy about it. But remember that Final Cut Studio when installed is about a 35GB suite of applications and media. There's simply no way that would have been doable by Apple as a download. Imagine the number of people who's connections would have dropped during the download, or who simply don't have the bandwidth to download something that large?
Some things are best done the old way! Anyway - try the XML sequence exchange I mentioned above, that'll save you the money, hassle AND the time.

Need Help Installing Final Cut Studio Version 2.0.1 on Macbook Pro

I am trying to install an old version of Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Studio Version 2.0.1) on my macbook pro (OS X Mountain Lion). When I tried to install it, it said, "power pc applications not supported on this computer". I was told to "uninstall" OS X on my computer, install Final Cut Studio, and reinstall OS X Mountain Lion again. Is this true? If so, how do I do this?

There is a "bug" in the installer application of Final Cut Studio Pro 2 that will fail to work in Lion or Mt. Lion; it will work successfully in Snow Leopard and a subsequent upgrade to Lion or Mt. Lion after the successful installation of FCSP2 will continue to work.
Once Mt. Lion is installed you can use one of these two methods to install FCSP2:
1) Pacifist
2) Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:

Help with Installing Soundtrack 3 alongside Final Cut Studio 2

Hi All,
I am looking for advice on how to install Soundtrack Pro 3 which is part of my Logic Studio Upgrade. I have a Macbook Pro with Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio. I just bought the upgrade to Logic Studio (and not Final Cut) as I mainly do audio work and rarely video editing any more.
The installation instructions say that Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5 have new components which are not compatible with my older Final Cut Studio 2 and will not be installed.
Is there a way to install Soundtrack Pro 3 as a standalone application in another part of my computer, like under a different user or in some way where I can open it independently from the Final Cut Studio 2 program? Or is upgrading Final Cut Studio 2 to version 3 my only option?
Thanks in advance for any ideas,

It's easy... just boot from your OS CD, and choose erase and install from the optional installs button once booted. Run Software update a few times until there is no more to update... This will erase the hard drive and install a new OS on it.
Install whatever.
To boot from this drive, hold down the option key during a startup , and you can pick it from the dialog box that opens. To reboot just select the other drive in the startup disk pref in Apple System prefs.

Help with selling Final Cut Studio

Hello, I am selling my mac pro with Final Cut Studio and i was wondering how do I transfer the ownership so the person receiving it can register under their name? I am the original owner and have all the original software and books.

yes.
Of course once you sell it, you can not use that license as the basis for an upgrade version to be installed on your computer. Upgrade licenses require you have ALL the previous versions in your control.
