Final Cut Studion 2 Install Failure on 1st Disc

I had to reinstall FCS2 after a reinstall of Leopard (along with all the updates). When I checked the FCS2 libraries, none of the pro apps could find any of the content files. The files were there, but somehow the links in FCS2 got messed up, so I figured I would reinstall FCS2 and save myself some grief trying to figure out what got broke.
Famous last words....
When I try to install FCS2 (4 times now), I start the install from the main install disc, go with the defaults, and it fails about 2 minutes in with the following error:

I've installed from these discs before without any problem, but this time it errors out with the same problem every time.
I have checked and repaired the permissions on the destination HDD, but no joy.
Can anyone tell me why the installed failed and what I can do so the install will continue?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

Thanks, X
All the ram has been replace with new Crucial sticks as when I had the box in for service in Dec (still on Apple care, now not), a daughter card was replaced and I was told I had bad ram. Prior to servicing, the AHT failed almost immediately on a FAN error.
I was doing extensive testing this weekend to, hopefully, eliminate any possible problems on my end, which I have pretty much done, short of wiping the startup drive. I guess now I am only left with making a bootable backup, and dropping the box off with service (hopefully, they will grandfather the SO from Dec to this work) and let them do what the will.....
Anyway, I pretty sure you are right about it being a hardware issue as +99% of the kernel panics occur on CPU3, and the majority while current task is Kernel_task
Thanks for the input...

Final Cut Studio install failure

Hi everyone,
I recently bought the Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 3 etc... and I keep getting an error message that the "content is damaged and that I need to contact my manufacturer" It also prompts me to insert the Install DVD but does not automatically eject the DVD Studio Pro Content dvd. I manually ejected the dvd and it gave me the error message. I even returned the Dvds and got a new set from the store I purchased them at. I still got the same message.
I don't know what else to do!!!! PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

You need to call Apple - not an Apple store. They include 90 days of support for install issues.

Final Cut Express installed when I bought my machine will not open, can not find any upgrades

Final Cut Express installed when I bought my machine will not open, can not find any upgrades. I am working on Mac Os10.6.8.
It always worked before.

There are no upgrades to FCE any longer. Apple has discontinued the product. If you need to reinstall the version you have from the original install discs, use this app to uninstall it first: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/

Final Cut Pro installed on an image interfearing with multiple LDAP Binds??

Hi guys, have an issue here a bit different from anything I have been able to find concerning binding to LDAP.
The situation is this: I am tasked with administering about 90 iMac's and 3 xServes in 3 labs in our school district. 30 of these machines have Final Cut Pro installed. Therefore I have 2 images created and successfully served by one of our xServes. The other xServe is didicated to Open Directory, and the 3rd is just a file share server. The non Final Cut Images have been applied and bound to LDAP and AD successfully, however, when it come sto the images WITH Final Cut Pro, I was only able to bind one machine to LDAP. The remainig machines tell me that the object allready exists (which it should not because these are all new machines and have never been bound, imaged, or configured in any way prior to this) and it gives me the option to "Overwrite". When I choose overwrite, it creates the machine in Workgroup Manager, but never bindes the machine to LDAP and gives me an "Unknown Error".
Now it seems to me, that this is a problem specific to Final Cut Pro. What do you guys suggest?
It is worth mentioning that we do have a vollume license for FC Pro and it is the default installation with no modifacations made to the install configuration.
I have also posted this issue in the xServe forums.

Look here - http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
And remember "Search" is your friend. This topic has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum.

After a failed install my mac thinks I have final cut pro installed.

I tried installing Final Cut Studio and halfway through it I accidentally hit the cancel install button when it asked me for a disk to continue the install. No bid deal, I'll just run the install again, right? Wrong, the second time around it only gives me the option to "Upgrade" Final Cut Pro. So my comp thinks I have Final Cut Pro installed already. I used Appdelete to toss all of the half installed software, but apparently there must be something on my comp still because the installer only offers the upgrade. What do I do? Thanks everyone.

Look in Hard Drive/Library/Receipts.
Remove all .pkg files that refer to FCP.
Those files are the reason your computer thinks FCP is installed.

Final Cut Studio install problems

Well I was thrilled to get Final Cut Studio 2, but cannot get the thing installed. Looking to do a 100% uninstall so I can start fresh
I have the following disks:
1. Final Cut Studio
2. DVD Studio
3. Livetype1
4. Livetype2
5. Motion
On my first install everything went as planned and it asked me for serial number. I made it thru the first disk with no problems, and the 2nd one installed for awhile, but suddenly stopped. A message popped up saying to put the Final Cut Studio disk back in. When I did that it failed. So I followed these steps:
Delete the User Preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Pro user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
Remove the "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
Remove the "Final Cut Pro User Data" folder from the Preferences folder.
Remove receipts and reinstall Final Cut Pro
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Final Cut Pro. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then install Final Cut Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Final Cut Pro. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Final Cut Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs and serial number handy before starting this.
Open the Applications folder.
Drag the Final Cut Pro application to the Trash.
Go to /Library/Receipts.
In the Receipts folder, select the "FinalCutPro.pkg" file.
Choose View > as List to view the contents in a list.
Click the Date Modified column header so you can easily see all of the receipts that were installed at the same time as Final Cut Pro.
Drag the FinalCutPro.pkg receipt to the Trash, as well as any other items that have the same modification date within 3 minutes of the FinalCutPro.pkg's modification date.
Click the Name column header to sort the list alphabetically.
Drag any other receipts whose names begin with "Final Cut Pro" to the Trash.
Insert your Final Cut Pro installation disc and install Final Cut Pro.
When finished, use Software Update (under the Apple menu) to update your software to the latest version.
I started a fresh install, but noticed it never asked me again for my serial number. I was skeptical, but the installation went on and I made it all the way to the last disk, but when I put the Motion disk in the computer seemed to struggle to read the disk and eventually asked for the FCP disk to be put back in which resulted in another error.
I have tried several times since then to get this thing installed but keep failing. I worry about how it never asks me for a serial number. Are there some files that I am not deleting?
I have also tried to install one disk at a time and installing without Content.
Using a brand new Imac

Not sure if this is related but I've upgraded from FCS 1 to FCS 2 and all went well. I've now started to install all the various application media and Motion fails around 75% through the installation. I've tried to do a disk image of the disk but again that fails approx. 75% of the way through with the error "I/O error"
Tried the Soundtrack Pro media this morning and got through the first disk and again about 75% through disk 2 the installation failed.
Maybe Apple has bought a job lot of 'cheap' DVD's to save some money? I'll pop into an Apple store and see what they have to say!

Final cut 7 wont open after final cut x install OR 3rd party software

I had installed FC x a week ago, did all the steps, even got FCP 7 to open... if I remember correctly. I came back from a short week off and now I cannot get 7 to open. It starts up loading the drivers and then I get the warning sign "Final cut quit unexpectedly" and I can send the report or ignore etc.
I'm not sure if this was an issue from final cut x or if it is because of a driver download I made from sony today. (link below)
http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/pro_hdv/fcp_plugin/
Motion 4 opens, DVD studio Pro opens, FC x opens. I tried trashing the prefs and that didn't work
Any other ideas? Do I need to reinstall 7?
Thanks for your help.

Repair permissions in Disk Utility. If FCP continues to crash…
why not trash FCPX and see if FCP7 then launches?
Either way, it won't take very long to download another copy of the new app.
Also – Digital Rebellion's Pro Maintenance Tools has a Crash Analyzer. There is a trial version so you can evaluate.

Lost 1 final cut studio install disk

hi
i have my serial number and all install disk except dvd pro. just can't find it.
final cut studio 5 bought in 2006
mbp 17'
running snow leopard 10.6.8
what can i do?
thanks

Hi Shane
i was doing a fresh install of FCS because i had done a clean install of snow leopard on a 15" mbp
informed through reading in this discussion forum that it is always better to fresh install applications rather than migrate them
then i found i was missing the DVD SP disk - so i did the FCS install unchecking dsp and qmaster.
after the FCS install i don't see DVD SP in applications folder. [or am i missing something?]
YOu can install and use DVD SP in the basic way, just no themes. And you can have the installer not ask for the content by doing a custom install and unchecking it.
on a 17" mbp - i do have both - APPLE QM and DVD SP - - i am just about to do a clean snow leopard install on this one too. but first have just "plain" installed SL so that the 2 mbp have the same OS so i can miigrate files back and forth - or forth and back.
will a migrated DVD SP and a migrated QM work with the reinstall of the rest of FCS for which i do have the original disks [with a software update to bring them to the same version 5.1.4?]

Can I have two versions of Final Cut Pro installed on my Mac

It is posible to have Final Cut Pro 7 & FCP X installed on my Mac Pro.. currently I'm using FCP 7,

Yes.
Final Cut Pro 7 and the other FCS apps will be moved to a subfolder in your Applications directory.

Importing XML to Final Cut 7 - Critical Failure

Hello!
I've been trying to import an XML file that another editing company gave to us and have been met with failure. Tried to do it twice and got the same message both times: "xml translation aborted due to critical error".
The client used Adobe Premiere Pro, and the XML file in question seems to have the COLOR logo on it. I assume that they put it through color and then sent us the XML.
We should have all the media needed; they gave us a duplicate copy of the drive they worked off of.
I don't really have much experience at all with XML, so any help is appreciated.
I took a screen capture of the error log; hopefully I can attach this.
System info:
Mac Pro 5,1
16GB RAM
Final Cut 7
System 10.6.8

You're asking a lot of an XML.
Something to try:
select all clips and copy them. create a new timeline with the same sequence properties. make sure CTI is at beginning and paste.
in this new sequence, select a clip that has not had speed changed (100%). right click on it and select copy properties. select all clips and paste properties.
BE ADVISED THAT THIS WILL CHANGE ALL CLIPS TO THE SAME PROPERTIES AS THE ORIGINAL.
this may reset all your In & Out points to their proper duration. if so, you can then adjust the timing of the requisite clips as necessary.
For best results using XML files, there should be NO: effects, dissolves, "black slugs," audio mixing or anything other than a plain vanilla straight cut.
HTH,

Final Cut 6 install question

Hello. I'm about to upgrade from Final Cut 4.5 HD to FCP 6 and was wondering if the new version will overwrite FCP 4.5 or will I still be able to open FCP 4.5. I'm in the middle of a project and I want to be able to keep editing in 4.5.
Thanks.

INstalling a new full rev of FCP creates a new application package and leaves the previous installation alone. However, there may be tons of auxiliary files from your 4.5 that could get overwritten. It's a weird gamble. You could just clone your system drive and then do the install of the new Studio.

Final Cut Studio installed on two computers?

Hi all --
Can Final Cut Studio be installed on two Macs? I have a laptop and desktop and would like to be able to use it on both machine (one at a time).
Thanks!

sometimes i have a project that will disable my desktops ability to run while it is processing.
is there any way that i can run FCP6 on my laptop at the same time and still be legal?
Also, I just purchased this laptop last week (macbook pro), i had a powerbook g4 1.5 processer. Is it ok that i just trashed the FCP files on my old laptop and uploaded FCP onto my new laptop or is there another way? sorry if this question is in another thred..
thanks

Final Cut Studio - Install on Two Macbook Pros?

I just purchased the academic version of Final Cut Studio. I have been reading the forums and have discovered that it is possible to install this on one desktop and one laptop, and both work as long as you are not working on them at the same time.
However, I have not been able to find if it is possible to install Final Cut Studio on two Macbook Pros. Does it have to be one desktop and one laptop or is it limited to two installations total? The license agreement says one desktop and one laptop, however how would it know if it were two laptops?
Thank you for your feedback.

Used by you doesn't mean used by someone else that doesn't own the computer
I'm an editor. Been one for several years. Any company I've worked for and edited with FCP has been on the company's computer and software, not owned by me. Are you saying that an editor for a company is expected to purchase their own computer and software in order to edit for a cooperation? Unlikely. A freelance or independent editor may have their own system that they edit on, but I am talking about an editor as an employee at a cooperation (where personal computers are restricted) or Macs and software that are available at an educational institution like an Apple Authorized Training Center.
I went to Apple Campus as a requirement of becoming ACT and "used" Final Cut pro on a computer that was not owned by me. Several others have done this and will continue to do so because it's a loophole that is apparently intended in the SLA for these reasons. Unless you're saying that Apple is breaking their own SLA agreement and advising others to do so in their training facility requirements which states:
The AATC is responsible for:
• Providing all hardware and software described in this document
The definition of the word "used" in this circumstance begs further clarification. Until that happens one can assume that the ordinary circumstance of its meaning for this situation is open to various interpretations.
OK so let's say I agree with your comment even if I don't. It still doesn't mean that if I owned a laptop and desktop that I can't use both at the same time according to the SLA. Only that they can't both be used at the same time over a network. So If I was encoding or rendering video on my desktop I could still use the laptop to edit at the same time.

Any idea what should i do ?? should I delete all related files including in the Library etc.. and if I have to do this, how ?
Thanks

Ran into same problems. Tried many things. Finally removed Apperture because with FCS Remover, it says not to do a complete uninstall if you have other Pro software on your computer. (This is a new computer and I didn't have any pics in Apperture yet). After removing Apperture, I removed ALL of FCP with FCP remover. Then I installed ONLY Final Cut. Yeah! It installed. So I got brave and installed only Motion. It worked fine as well. Then I got greedy and tried to install Live Type. Got hung up again on the "running package scripts". Ugh. Out of time. I really wanted these three applications at least. I'm bummed that I can only get two of them.

Final Cut studio install problem.

Just installed Final cut Studio, problem is i got everthing, except FCP7. why? I tried to reinstall but its not working...
Help!

You can't install FCP 7 if FCPX is already on your system. Remove everything with this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
Install FCS3 first, run all updates then download FCP X again. AppStore knows that you already payed for it.
