Final cut studio 2 installation stalled out

I just purchased my macbook pro and I am installing final cut studio 2 for the first time on it. It seems that the installation has stalled out on the first disc at the point where it says "finishing installation: running proappseffects installer script". Its been running proappseffects for over 2 hours now but there are no errors in the installer log. Anyone have any ideas?
Just so you know, I am installing an upgrade ser # and have never had the previous version on this laptop. I am assuming that this is not an issue but maybe I am wrong.
I may just start from the top...

I finally tried to quit the installer and it wouldn't let me. Then I tried to restart and as I was doing that it requested the next disc. So I guess I am good now.

Final Cut Studio Installation Hangs at 100%

I am in the middle of installing Final Cut Studio 2 and the intaller seems to have stalled. I inserted the Live Type Media 2 disk and the installer reached 100% of that portion and has not budged for 2 hours. It says 1 hour 11 minutes remaining.
The is a kbase article that says it is OK for the install to stop at 100% for a few minutes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2114
But I have been waiting over 2 hours. Should I force quit the install? If I do, how do I reinstall correctly?
Thank you

I'd think you're OK so far. The applications are actually installed already if you got that far. What isn't installed are the templates... they can be installed after the fact so I'd think you could quit, look to see if you have the LiveType templates (look in the file menu in Livetype). If they are there, you can just put disk one in the machine, and turn off all other installs save the disks that you didn't get to yet. Again, they are just the templates and media for Motion DVD sp etc... the apps are all installed from the first disk.

Final Cut Studio Installation Quesiton

I have a question about installation. It may be a bit obscure so bare with me. I had an older version of final cut and my friend did not. I read that you can use the serial number on Final Cut Studio twice (a laptop and a desktop I believe) so we were thinking of splitting the cost of the newest version of Final Cut studio.
This wouldn't be the "upgrade" version. What would happen on the computer that already has final cut? Would the computer automatically replace the older version/upgrade, or would I wind up with two versions of final cut? Should I just delete the old version first?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

You can't "split" a license with a friend.
You need two licenses.

Final Cut Studio Installation

Hi,
I just bought Final Cut Studio from Apple Germany. Could someone reassure me as I have some doubts ! Can I install FCP Studio in English even if it's bought in Germany ?
I know that some softwares are coming in only one language : iLife 06 for example.
Thanks
Abyss mages

I believe FCP supports multiple languages. The only real issue is the installation, license and support information may be in the language of country where you purchased the software.
If in doubt, call Applecare. Installation support is free for 90 days.
good luck.

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

Final Cut Studio Installation Failed?!?!?

I just spent a bunch of hours patiently feeding my Macbook Pro all 7 of the the installation DVDs…. When it was done I ran software update which installed something to do with Pro Apps…. then I tried to Launch FCP 7 and it cannot be found…. there is no evidence that EVER installed FC Studio on this machine--what could be going on????
I appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Robert

Nothing in your Applications folder??
What version of FCS are you trying to install?
What version of Mac OS X do you have?

Final Cut Studio installer doesn't allow FCP to be installed?

Hi all,
I've put a fresh copy of Leopard 10.5.4 on a dual g5 2.7Ghz with 4GB of RAM and hoping to install FCS2 onto it. Prior to doing this, I installed Logic 8 and Firefox - that's it.
When I installed Leopard, I wiped the drive so nothing is there. However, when I launch the installer, FCP is grayed out and I can't choose to install it. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do here?
Thanks!

It's because you have to install FCP.
It only shows as an optional install when it is already on your drive (If you left something out the first time, then changed your mind).
Although grayed, it still has a check mark next to it, right?

Final Cut Studio Installation Problems

Firstly, the specs: 2.8ghz 8-core Mac Pro, 2GB RAM, nVidia 8800GT, 10.5.2
The problem: I am installing FCS1 for the first time ever and am having difficulties installing some parts of it before the Mac Pro reboots on its own. Sometimes I'll finish a disc, sometimes I'll finish installing the program and I have to install the content separately. I even left a disc to install and when I got back home, the screen had told me to restart (kernel panic?). Kinda ***** that you get the computer of your dreams and problems like this happen...
I have managed to fully install (I hope) FCP, LiveType and part of its contents, DVDSP and its contents, Compressor, Qmaster and Cinema Tools. Not going to bother with Sountrack Pro as it's not something I want yet.
The one disc it that I can NEVER finish however is Motion. I have installed the program but I can't get the content to finish installing.
Can anyone think of what can be wrong? All my discs are genuine and are in perfect condition.
PS. The instructions says to install any program by putting the FCS disc first. Is it all that bad if I don't? (ie. install the program/content through the disc itself)

Thanks for the responses. Kernel panics suck. I had one more out of nowhere and another one after I restarted after that kernel panic! That's seriously 2 kernel panics within like a minute. Haven't had one since but that's really not good...
- The only things I have plugged are my keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers and power cord.
- I was installing as per the instructions but after so many restarts I started trying installing using the disc itself (ie. when I got to installing Motion, I would insert the Motion disc and use the install options from the disc rather than using the FCS install disc first THEN inserting the Motion disc when prompted...seems to work both ways but both ways I am getting restarts)
- FileVault is not on.
Will probably try an erase and install if it doesn't install properly but the end of the day...

Final Cut Studio Full sold out?

Anyone know where I can get it? Everyone seems to be sold out. Is this because of the universal version? Does that add anything to the bundle/upgrades for FCP, DVDSP, Motion? I just came from the PC side and just got my new G5. I have no way to edit. I dont really want to go to e-bay.

Final Cut Studio 2 installation hangs under Snow Leopard

I've since seen this on two machines and have filed a bug with Apple, but wanted to post to give people a heads up.
When attempting a new installation of Final Cut Studio 2 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6, the install hung with "about a minute remaining."
Examination of the running processes using "top" showed one thread spinning in user space using 100% of the CPU:
<pre>/Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/QuickTimeMPEG2Pro.pkg/Contents/Resources/ConfigureMim eTypes -rescan -verbose</pre>
Running the same thread by hand succeeded immediately, so manually killing the spinning process seemed to have no ill effects and allowed the installation to proceed as expected.
Just to be safe I manuallly ran
<pre>/Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/QuickTimeMPEG2Pro.pkg/Contents/Resources/ConfigureMim eTypes -rescan -verbose</pre>
again after disc 1 was finished installing but (obviously) while disc 1 was still in the drive.

Hello,
I fortunately came across this discussion. I want to install FCS2 on my iMac which is now running under Snow Leopard and I also got stuck at "about a minute" remaining time.
But it seems that the answer to solve this is give in an answer William has given. The only thing is, I don't get it what to do.
I typed in the word Top in Terminal I saw that it is indeed "hanging" on ConfigureMimeTypes. Through "show contents" I got to the ConfigureMimeTypes file (at least I think that is what I should do). But then...?
Another thought was, that I had to install the QuickTimeMpeg2Pro.Pkg. So I have tried that also. But then the same happens, it got stuck at "the remaining one minute issue".
Can someone please tell me what to do?
Please consider the fact that I'm not a very technical person and that english is not my native language.
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
Richard

Final cut studio stall on running package scripts

Final Cut Studio installer is hanging on "running package scripts." Any thoughts?
Ronan

Nothing specific, but here's a user tip with best practices for installation
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
and if you've previously had fcp installed on this system, as mentioned in the user tip, be sure and wipe all traces of the app using digital rebellions uninstaller, before reinstalling.

How long does installation take for final cut studio?

how long does final cut studio installation take?

Hi, David,
Is it really that much faster to read an external drive than to read the CD drive? Up to 20 X faster? Or is it that something is seriously wrong with my CD drive?
thanks,
Michelle
External hard drives are 10x (more or less) faster than CD's/DVD's to read and write too. Is faster to rip a DVD/CD and put it on a hard drive and read/write from that file than it to read and write to a DVD/CD.
DVDs/CDs are old school for holding data and... Apple doesn't use them any more... Not to long you will see and end to DVDs/Cds (blu-ray too).

Having trouble installing Final cut pro from Final cut studio 2

hi,
I have just recently got a new mac pro and first installed Logic Studio and all it's components.
I just tried to install Final cut studio 2 and all it's components.
I was able to install most of the components - Live type, cinema tools etc but not Final cut! the tick box is grayed out on the menu! the hard drive is fresh and I've not installed a previous version on that drive ever, when i move the cursor over the final cut option i get a yellow box and it says:
"TT NEWERALREADYINSTALLED"
Help!
Thanks

From this support article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1110
Take the following steps to resolve this issue:
1. If it is still running, quit the Final Cut Studio Installer.
2. In Finder, navigate to /Library/Receipts/.
3. Locate the file named ProMediaIO.pkg and drag it to the Trash.
4. Run the Final Cut Studio Installer again.

Can Remote Desktop install Final Cut Studio?

Hi,
I'm planning a large rollout of Final Cut Studio 3 to a network of 36 MacPro's. I use Apple Remote Desktop to install as much as possible, but I've never been able to install Final Cut using ARD due to it being a multi-disc installer and requiring the serial number during the install. The best I've been able to do is push installer disk images out to the computers, then run the installer manually on each via screen sharing. Not horrible, but a lot more time consuming than it should be.
I don't see anything in the Final Cut Studio installer on using ARD, but I thought I'd check here.
Thanks,
Mitch

Thanks. My method thus far is similar. I image each disc to a folder, then put the discs away (pretty much standard procedure for any install really). Remote Desktop lets you push the image files out to all computers simultaneously - freakishly fast using multicast networking. The image files are then local to each machine. I'll then sit at the admin station, and using Remote Desktop's screen sharing jump between each computer starting the installer and pasting the serial number. When done, I trash the installer image files from the local computers.
I've played with imaging full systems, but I always think of "one last thing" that needs to be done to configure then I'm back imaging again.
Most applications that use the pkg/mpkg installer format install great over Remote Desktop. Even some that have serial number entry during install have workarounds (Filemaker lets you create a plist containing the serial for example). Even Adobe has come around with CS4, not using the standard format but packaging their multi-disc installer with configuration info for simple network installs.

Final Cut Studio 2 keeps crashing

Hey guys,
so I did quite bad with FCS and now I'm crying. It started all when I tried to fasten up the boot process. I killed some processes, and apparently also some QMaster which made that the Compressor did not work. A simple reinstall of FCS caused that compressor would start, but not show anything. So I decided to delete all FCS with the FCS Remover tool and do a clean, nice reinstall. After installing and updating FCS, Final Cut Pro, Motion and Soundtrack do not work anymore. DVD Studio, Color etc still work, but I don't need them. The complete error log below.
To sum up:
- Destroyed my installation of Compressor
- Reinstall did not fix anything, but FCP worked
- Uninstalled using FCS Remover
- Reinstalled
- Installed updates
- Software now crashes immediately
- Used reset and relaunch, still not better
any idea?
thanks
Thorben

Sorry, this is a bug with v1.0.3 of FCS Remover. It removed some frameworks but did not remove the corresponding package receipts, meaning that the Final Cut Studio installer was fooled into thinking that the files existed and were up-to-date when they weren't. This is now fixed in v1.0.4. Apologies for any inconvenience.
1.0.4 is now available:
