Final cut studio stall on running package scripts

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

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 can I Final cut studio 5.1 running on osx lion

I have a old version (Final Cut Studio 5.1) and I would like to use with OSX lion. How can I make that run, don´t want to downgrade!!!!!

I want a brand new Jaguar and a 4000 acre ranch in Wyoming. But just like in your case, it ain't gonna happen.
You'll either need to upgrade the software or downgrade the OS.

Final Cut Studio 2 Manuals in Package ?

I just got my Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade and the box had 4 Manuals for Final Cut Pro 6 and one for Color. There were no manuals for Soundtrack, Compressor, Motion, etc. Is that because I got the upgrade ? Did people who got purchased Final Cut Studio 2 for the first time get manuals for everything ?

I don't even believe the full new purchases had anything more than what you had in the way of printed manuals.
Rest on pdf files.

Acrobat X pro (OSX 10.8.2) installation stalls at "running package scripts"

Can anyone help resolve this installation problem?

Rave,
I have the same problem (10.8.2) trying to install Acrobat Pro X from the DVD. When I select just the Acrobat installation from the payloads folder on the DVD it's just Acrobat that's hanging at the "running package scripts" message. If I force quit the installer and restart the computer, Acrobat 10.0.0 will start up, but will not update to 10.1.5, giving DW006 and DW050 errors. If I do a total install from the DVD, same problem, so it appears specific to Acrobat. Thank you for the tip on getting the installer log. Please let me know if you need the whole 5 page .txt document or if this is enough to diagnose from.
Thanks,
Sean

Mac Acrobat install stalls while running package scripts

I just purchased the update to Mac Acrobat XI Pro, and while the download went smoothly, the installation process is stalled near the end. I can't quit the program and it doesn't seem to want to advance. Suggestions about how to proceed?
So, here's the deal: I've recently udgraded to a new iMac with OS X10.9, from an older Mac Pro with OS X 10.6.8. I migrated my CS6 apps over and they all work fine, except I've been getting those Acrobat update notices, and they've always failed. So, I mistakenly unistalled the olde version of Acrobat, 10.1.8 before buying the update from Adobe today. Now I can't get the update to install on the new iMac, although it installs and runs just fine on the old Mac Pro. But of course I want to transistion away from the old to the new and I'm stuck with no Acrobat on the new machine.
The installer is throwing line after line of these errors:
Nov 23 15:46:45 Big-iMac.local installd[476]: ./preinstall: sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
Nov 23 15:46:45 Big-iMac.local installd[476]: ./preinstall: sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
Nov 23 15:46:45 Big-iMac.local installd[476]: ./preinstall: sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
They just keep going, and going...

Hi James,
You need to contact Apple regarding this as it's clearly a permission issue.

MacBook Pro Problem with Final Cut Studio

For some reason Final Cut Studio will not run on my MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It loads then disappear. The only version that worked was 5.0 but felt very slow so im thinking it was using rosetta. After reinstalling OSX hoping that would help. Still that didnt help. I installed 5.1 then used Apple Software Update to download all the update. All update was install but still nothing works. Well if this post seems similiar to someone else post please point me to the right place. any answer will help thanks. I've read the support CPU but didnt see any information on whether it support the Core 2 Duo.

no reason it shouldn't work, and work very well at that.
do none of the FCS apps work, or is it just FCP?
if you have just finished a full reinstall, then for good measure you should run Repair Permissions from /Applications/Utilities/Dissk Utility
it may also be that the preference files are corrupted (try FCP Rescue http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ )
also try the prebinding thing ... see this post by Brian Conner http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3961108&#3961108 or the apple technote http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93984

Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade version and Lion

I was all set to buy a new Macbook Pro, and I know Final Cut Studio 3 will run on Lion, but I've just realised that my version of Studio is an upgrade from 2. Since Studio 2 doesnt seem compatible with Lion am I at a dead end here in trying to get FCP 7 etc onto a new machine? Can I install it without installing Studio 2 first?
Thanks

You just do the install for studio 3. Or am I missing something? It will ask you for both the serial numbers of fcp studio 2 and 3. But you will have to install rosetta from a snowleopard install disk to run the installer.

Trying to install Final Cut Studio on my Lion Notebook

Hey guys,
I bought a MacBook Pro with Lion on it but I can't seem to install Final Cut Studio 2 without Rosetta. I have the Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade discs which are universal but I cant install FCS3 without first installing FCS2. Anyone have any ideas?

> Will I run into any issues if I install Final Cut Studio 3 to run in conjunction with Final Cut X?<
That's been a running topic and I've found the posted discussions to be mutually exclusive. Maybe it depends on the hardware platform. Dunno. Might search the FCPX forum too.
Please post back if you figure it out with your own experiences.

A few final cut studio 5.1 questions...

i was wondering if final cut studio 5.1 runs on these 3 settings.
will it run on leopard? or do i have to go to tiger
will it work with a NVIDIA geforce 9400m graphics chip?
will it work on an intel core 2 duo macbook?

Just to clarify; USB and Firewire are about the same speed, but transfer data in very different ways. USB transfers data in packets (short bursts) while Firewire transfers data in a sustained stream. Most NLEs will require a sustained stream for editing or capturing ... they often see the shorts breaks between the bursts of data in a USB transfer as dropped frames and may report errors.
The same thing can happen when editing or capturing to your boot drive; it's busy running the OS, all applications (including FCP), reading and writing to the project file and running all the background processes. When you add playback of a video stream to that workload, you might often receive an error message (dropped frames) usually due to data throughput errors. That's why it is recommended to store media used for video editing on a drive other than your boot drive. Since a laptop doesn't have but one internal drive, you're limited to an external Firewire drive to keep things happy and running smoothly.

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 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!

Final cut Studio package is it worth the money ?

I have the most recent iLife package along with Toast, and Photo to Movie. My main goal is to make high quality photo slideshows to play on a TV. Will the Final Cut Studio Package really produce a better looking product, or does it just give me more control over what I can do with the images?

The Pro Apps allow for the use of conventional DVD-R media (like Verbatim DVD-R) as well as "Digital Linear Tape" or DLT which is what professionals prefer to write to rather than burning to standard DVD-R media.
Do a search on the DVDSP forum for DLT devices like the Quantum DLT4000 to learn more about this process.
Standard DVD-R media (for the most part) has significantly higher error rates as opposed to DLT which is extremely precise. From DLT an exact Glass Master can be produced which is like the "mold" for all future commercially pressed DVD copies which in turn also has far fewer error rates than conventional DVD-R media since it is pressed rather than burned to the surface of the media. Hope this makes sense.
This entire process is much more conducive for mass distribution of DVD's and can be very costly for small or what is called a "short run".
I can't give you an opinion on FotoMagico since I do not use it. Fred Shippey & others know much more about this app than I do. Anyway, I sure hope the above is semi helpful & good luck to you!
