Final Cut Studio 5.1 won't install with new imac7,1 running Snow Leopard

Howdy
I bought Final Cut Studio 5.1 (FCP5, Motion2, etc) and tried to install on a very modern machine running snow leopard.
The machine meets all the system requirements, as far as i can tell, but when i click to install, i get the following:
Alert
Your computer does not have the hardware required to run this software. See the Read Me for details.
Is this a graphics card issue?
Obviously i'm a bit annoyed because the of the costs and i thought a high-end computer would be able to run this 5-year old software package.
If anyone can advise me of a way to circumnavigate the problem using the tools i already have, i'd be very appreciative.
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for replies.
It was bought from a reseller and is version 5.1.
I was under the impression that you could only upgrade if you had a previous version of FCS installed. Since i cannot install the version i have, i cannot upgrade.
I did try the 'esc' key but it didn't have any effect at all - this is a good tip though, so thanks for the idea. I'm sure one day i'll need to use it.
I'm close to admitting defeat and selling it on again, but if there are any FCS experts out there with a fix, that'd be super awesome!

  • Buying Final Cut Studio second hand- can I install on Mac Pro?

    I'm going to buy Final Cut Studio software from a friend, who has registered the application with Apple. Can I install the software on my Mac Pro without problems? The previous owner had it installed on a MacBook Pro.

    As long as they delete it from their computer, you should be fine....

  • Final Cut Studio Crash - Just Purchased and Installed - Crashes Immediately

    Just installed Final Cut Studio (1).
    Crashes immediately after open.
    Please help.
    I can provide report (code) if someone that can help needs to see it.
    Thanks,

    It is Snow Leopard. Don't run SL with your version of FCP. So what this means you have to do is back up all your files, erase the hard drive, install the Leopard OS from scratch (10.5), then fully update, then install FCS, and fully update. And stay there.
    If your FCS is an older FCS, you can't run the latest OS, typically.

  • Final Cut X super slow after lion...Ran great on Snow leopard

    I grabbed Final Cut X as soon as it was released before I recieved my copy of Lion. As soon as Lion was installed my system went turtle. I'm staring at spining balls more than I am editing. I had a Mac Pro at the time so as a test I partitioned a copy of Snow Leopard. Zoooooom. It was great.
    I have since bought a new mac and now I'm back to the same terrible performance with no hope of Snow Leopard. Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone found a solution?
    I thought Mountain Lion might correct the issue but it is the same if not worse. Sooooo painful...
    thanks....

    I've heard, but can't verify, that FCS should be installed after Snow Leopard.
    Before reverting your OS, try do a complete uninstall of FCS -

    then a re-install.

  • Visual Studio App Wizard won't install with Visual Studio 2005

    When I try run the Visual Studio App Wizard from the Acrobat SDK V8.1 on my PC it tells me 'Please install Visual Studio 2005 before install Acrobat 8 Plugin Wizard'. I have Visual Studio 2005 installed with SP1. I also have the .NET framework 2.0.50727 SP1 loaded. I see this same problem on two different PC's with the same software configuration loaded. Any known issues with that?

    I've never seen this happen. It's been a while since I last installed the
    v9 SDK and it's plug-in wizard, so I don't remember how the installation
    went.
    I do most of my plug-in work on the Mac, where there is no plug-in wizard,
    so I don't use it - not even on Windows. You do not need it to start a new
    plug-in: Just use either the Starter plug-in from the samples, or the
    BasicPlugin project. This will give you something that compiles and runs.
    Then do a few simple text replacements to give things the proper names and
    use that as your starting point. The wizard will give you a few more things
    in regards to HFTs, but it's not complicated or time consuming to do that
    by hand. The good thing about having to do this every now and then is that
    it keeps your memory fresh about how HFTs work.
    If you want to save yourself some time, create your own starter plug-in
    that you mark up with comments about what you need to replace and why - put
    all the stuff in that you usually need and then just use that every time
    you need to start a new plug-in. Setting up a plug-in framework is usually
    a very small portion of the time that you will eventually spent on the
    plug-in development, so using the wizard will not save you much in the
    overall development time.

  • After downloading the Lion installer, it won't install on my 1 TB Snow Leopard boot disk.  Why?

    The disk has been verified, has shown no other problems and is up to date.  Of the other volumes available in my system, only another (much smaller) with Snow Leopard shows as possible for the installation.  The message for the disk I want to use is "This disk cannot be used to boot your computer".  Computer is early 2009 MacPro with plenty of memory, disc to be used has 500 GB free.  I have previously done a successfuil download of the installer, then a successful installation on another small volume, which is now erased, so I don't think there is a download problem.  This installation was over Snow Leopard, which is what it now won't do on another volume.

    Take a look at:

  • PSE 8 will not install on new imac OSX Snow Leopard

    28. Feb 26, 2010 4:16 PM in response to: docmark86
    Re: PSE8 will not install on Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.1
    I have a new iMac 21.5 screen with OSX Snow Leopard.  I installed IWork and turbo tax with no problem.  Nothing else.
    PSE 8 installation fails after about 80% installation just as install for PSE 8 starts. I've spent hours on the phone with Adobe and they blame it on OSX   Error analysis states:   "Uncaught JavaScript exception: Unable to read Adobe file version for path /Library/Fonts/MinionPro-Bold.otf  Apple techs have also tried."   The latest communications from Adobe instructs me on validating fonts.  We have also tried  CS3 Clean Script since the install failed several times. Case # is 0181442609.    Nothing works and Apple techs are still researching.  Any suggestions from an Adobe professional?  I am new to the Mac environment so any complicated actions may require some "hand holding".
    Thanks to all!
    Doc

    Doc, I would suggest go to the font location which from your post is: <Macintosh HD>/Library/Fonts/MinionPro-Bold.otf. There should be a font file with this name. If it exists, just "cut" it from this location and paste it on the desktop for some time and then try to install PSE again and see if that works.
    If the font file doesnt exist and instead an empty folder names "MinionPro-Bold.otf" exists, then delete the folder and then try to install PSE again.
    In either case, please do attach the installer log file in the forum thread so that I can have a look at it. They can be located at the below location:
    <Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installer/"...Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0...."
    If there are multiple copies of the installer log files, then please delete them and then try to install PSE 8 again. If it fails, quit the installer and attach the new log files which are generated to this thread.
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional won't install with new serial number from Adobe

    Having replaced my PC I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but I was unable to activate registration as it had already been registered and is an 'old product'.  I have contacted the Adobe on-line advisor and was given a new serial number and a file to download. 
    The set-up wizard will not complete even though I type in the new number accurately and each time I've had to abort installation as it says it can't be verified.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or explain what I might be doing wrong please?
    Thank you

    Thank you Bill for replying.
    I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting.  Activation fails each time I've tried.  As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice.  They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it.  I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
    I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
    I'll now follow the link you've given me.   Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

  • IOS AIR app won't install with new certificates

    I've been devloping my first iOS app in AIR for a few months. Testing on up to 3 devices has gone fine. It's time to submit to the app store. I'm developing for a client who wants the app in their name in the app store. So they set up an Apple iOS developer account and gave me access. When I made a new set of certificates and profiles with the new account the app failed to install on my testing device. I've remade all the certificates multiple times and double checked that I have the correct UUID and am not using a distribution profile.
    Is there a problem using someone else's account with keys and certificates made on my mac? What else can I try?

    Hi, you need to apply a migration signature. For more information, please refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff0. html#WSFAB6E5EB-316A-42b0-81A3-0BC232ACD99A
