Final Cut studio won't install- "powerpc apps no longer supported"

I'm trying to install my old copy of final cut studio 5.1 and it tells me 'power pc apps are no longer supported', however this is a universal copy of studio 5.1 (intel or powerpc) and it's being installed on an intel machine. Any thoughts?

There are lots of threads on this subject if you do a search, but the answer is that you need to install Rossetta from a  Snow Leopard disc to be able to run the installer.  Also, I believe you need to update to 5.1.4 before you launch FCP and even then it's not a guarantee that the software will be trouble free under Lion.

  • Latest Final Cut Studio Won't Install On G4 Powermac.

    I have a friend with a dozen or so Macs!
    He has just purchased Final Cut Studio with a multiple use licence and installed it on his G5 Powermac successfully but it won't install on his G4 because the "standard" video card is not up to it (according to an Apple compatibility checker that he downloaded).
    The obvious solution, that Apple would certainly approve, is for him to spend a further £150 on a new card.
    However, is there a hack he could use to get it to work with the old one?
    Ian.

    Aw, Jim: you're too kind!
    ..I'm (still) just a know-nothing newbie! [..I hang out with the unmentionables, over at iMovie Discussions..]
    Well, I've been to Holland, dawdling thro' the dykes ..and I've been playing with my HDV cameras - silly me: I upgraded from FCP3 to FCP HD 4.5, but - of course! - it didn't do HDV, so now I'm just waiting for my "cross-grade" universal FC Studio to arrive, so that I can play with DVD SP, as well as edit HDV 'natively'. (..I upped to a quad G5, as the wait for imports to transcode into the 'Intermediate Codec' was just too, too mind-numbingly -s-l-o-w- ..and exports took 10x real-time on my G4 Mac mini/PowerBook/whatever.)
    But I'm typing this on an FCP multi-coloured keyboard (..or, I should say "Mark IN, Next Edit, Marker, spacebar, Track Tool, Render Quality/Toggle, Pen Tool, Mark IN, Snapping/Toggle, Edit Selection, spacebar, Track Tool, Hand Tool, Mark IN, Slip/Slide", etc, as you aficionados would know it..) so I am really trying..
    Whenever I see a picture of dear old Albert, or read about him, or watch a video clip or impersonation of him, I always think about your glimpse of "the patent clerk" at Princeton long ago..
    ..meanwhile: back in 2006; I've got a big cheese-grater, nice fast hard discs, and am waiting for my raid controller to arrive (to run these two 10,000 rpm 'Raptors' ..the 72GB ones, which do work inside an Apple, unlike - apparently - the later ones..) [why can't they have more genteel names, like 'Daisies' or 'Flowerpots'?] ,,and I have all this footage to finish..
    I've still got to complete shooting, and cutting, a TV programme about (..ssshh; don't want to say..) but I'm pretty much determined to do it all in iMovie HD ..just as a matter of principle ..though what that principle is, I'm not sure ..maybe "This program should be good enough for anything!" ..though I may cheat when it comes to colour-correction, or something equally obscure or abstruse ..or do I mean insecure and ostrich?
    Good to speak/write with you..
    OK: now go ahead and click 'Report this post' ..see if I care, you snooty genii who can actually make sense of and use FCP.. ..
    EDIT: removed a bracket; one too many - doh!
    Edit: Just added another one, as there was one missing ..darn this punctuation..

  • G4 867MHz powerbook + Final Cut Studio won't install

    My g4 867MHz powerbook should be able, on paper at least [memory, etc], to cope with Final cut studio, but the installer tells me that it can't. Why? Is there some shortfall with the video card or something? Any ideas?

    how much free space do you have on the system drive?

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks?

    Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard? 

    It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
    I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
    http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
    Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

  • Final Cut Studio Pro 2 Install - Skip Final Cut Pro itself - TT_NEWALREADYI

    Dear All,
    I hope you can help. I have just bought a new Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM, with OS X 10.4.10 running. It came with iLife 08.
    I installed Logic Studio 8 (which was successful), and have been trying to install my copy of Final Cut Studio 2. When I run the installation, the options appear for custom install, but FInal Cut Pro, Compressor and QMaster are greyed out, and the action identified for them is "skip. If I rest the mouse over any of the options the text TT_NEWERALREADYINSTALLED appears.
    I have tried uninstalling the Logic Studio components with AppZapper, and retrying the install of Final Cut Studio, but no matter what I try to do, it won't install Final Cut Pro.
    Can anybody help?
    Kind Regards,
    Nick.

  • Final cut studio pro 6 install problems and error message

    Purchased a new macbook and am having trouble installing Final Cut Studio Pro 6- get this error message: You can't open the appliction FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported  - have never seen this before, any clues?

    The installer requires Rosetta to be present, but Lion doesn't include it anymore. You can try to install Rosetta from a Snow Leopard disc using the "Optional Installs". Note that this is not officially supported: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4769
    There have also been reports that Lion will break most plugins for FCS 2 and FCS 3.

  • Final Cut Studio 2-Error Installing

    Hi,
    I insert the Disk and after a minute I get the following message:
    "There were errors installing the software"
    Previously I had FInal Cut Express which was removed. I noticed instead of an install I am getting an "upgrade" when installing?
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Which version of Final Cut Studio did you purchase ... the full retail version or an upgrade version?

  • My laptop Final Cut Studio won't allow me access.

    I have a fully licensed Final Cut Studio including an upgrade for a few years now. It's installed on my PC and Laptop. This morning for some reason the version on my laptop is asking for a serial number before allowing me access. But even when I enter it it rejects it as invalid! How do I access it?

    are you sure you're entering the correct serial number and entering it correctly?
    Is this an upgrade or a full install?  If an upgrade, it may be looking for the original serial number rather than the upgrade number.
    If I remember correctly (and I may not be) the serial numbers are in groups of three and each group is either numbers or letters not a mix.
    Also, you might want to do the normal troubleshooting steps like repairing permissions, running disk repair on all drives (particularly your startup drive which you'll have to do after booting from your os install disk or another bootable drive), run diskwarrior (if you have it) on your startup drive and deleting fcp preferences

  • FINAL CUT STUDIO Can't install

    I have a G5 and a retail Vers of Final Cut Studio.
    I trashed all previous Final Cut Pro files before I started to make room.
    When I start Installing Disc 1 I got an error message:
    ALERT Licencing error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges.
    I tried installing it on my partners side as well because its his computer, same thing happened. But I went ahaed and installed it anyway. Then tried to open Motion, Soundtrack Pro etc...and was asked to type in the Serial again. Then I got another error message:
    The Application cannot continue because the Licensing data is corrupt.
    help!

    Try this. A bit tedious, but there you are:

  • Final Cut Studio Won't Remember Serial Number

    Hi -- I am new to Final Cut Studio. I've just finished installing Final Cut Studio on my computer. I have registered the software via the internet and yet, every time I open one of the applications from the suite, it requests my serial number.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew

  • Any ideas on why Final Cut Pro won't install?

    I tried to load in my version 6.0 of Final Cut Pro Academic into my computer at my music school and at the point when I loaded in the disk after "Audio Content 3", I think it was "Studio Pro Content" or "Motion" disc (sorry I can't remember which disc) a black sort of veneer came over the screen and said, "You must restart your computer"...
    It was in a KP crash I think because all the fans were going crazy and all I could do was hold the start button for 6 seconds and the computer shut down. I had a problem loading in LOGIC Pro once and the fix was to repair permissions. So I did that and then restarted and tried to reinstall Final Cut Pro but at the same disc the computer went into a crash. I have recently done checks of my RAM and all 4.5 GB seems to be fine. I checked all my system requirements for the Final Cut Pro software and I have more than enough of everything. BTW I have a PowerMac 2.7 Dual with all the latest OS, and current downloads, etc.
    Obviously the disk could be bad but the full software, all disks, loaded fine on my home computer. Could it be that I should totally uninstall Final Cut from my computer at the music school and try again? Any ideas - thanks!

    hey i may just be talkin out my arse here, but r u sure yer comp has ALL the requirements to run final cut pro? if its hd, it might require more stuff that u dont have yet. we had to go out and buy a new mac with all the requirements that cost over like a 1000 bucks, so make sure u have all the requirements. we thot a good mac wud be sufficient, but no, it needs to be like one of the best macs there is!!! here they are i think: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs.html good luck!

  • Install - PowerPC applications no longer supported

    My Mac recently crashed. In recovering my hard drive I was unable to recover and 3rd-party Apps - which includes my Adobe products, and purchased apple/mac programs.
    In trying to repurchase some Apple/Mac programs I was "forced" to upgrade my OS to the most current (mountain lion) as some programs were no longer available in versions that would run on an older OS.
    I'm now trying to reinstall my Creative Suite 2 and getting the following message: You can't open the application "Adobe Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    I looked around at other questions/discussions on this topic, and even tried the "remove launch pref" download that I found somewhere on here - but it didn't work.
    after spending many hundreds of dollars getting my computer repaired - i don't want to have to spend many many more hundreds of dollars buying a "new" version of Creative Suite. My version is just fine for what I need/use it for and it's ALREADY PAID FOR!
    How can I get my software to install?
    thank you.
