HELP!!!Can't install FCP on my MBP

Good Day All,
I currently bought a new Mac Book Pro, it has an I7 processor, 8GB of RAM and 120GB Solid State Hard Drive.
Now, I have an old Final Cut Studio Version 5...
In my old Mac Book Pro I was able to install it now problem, now it's telling me I don't have the hardware to make it work.
Help PLS!!!
Thanks in Advance!

I see...Sorry...just one last question..for learning purposes...My old MBP was an Intel Core 2 Duo. It's still an Intel yet I was able to install it on that.
What changed?
Thank you for your Assistance!

  • New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.

    I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL.  Is it not compatible?  Is it really a PowerPC program???  I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago!  Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.

    How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
    First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
    After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
    If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

  • Can't install FCP on my new MacBook Pro

    I just realize that I can't install FCP on my brand new Macbook Pro. Does anyone knows of any solution that would let me install FCP. According to the notes FCP will not install on Intel Core Processors.

    It would be useful if you -
    A. told us what version of FCP/FCS you are trying to install
    B. told us the error messages you received
    In the meantime, Final Cut Pro 5.0 and earlier are not supported on intel macs. Time to upgrade. If you have a regular retail version of FCP, the upgrade price is $299. Academic and Not For Resale versions do not qualify for the upgrade.

  • How many times can you install FCP?

    Hello everyone, new to the forums here. I've searched throught he forums but couldnt find an answer to my question.
    I'm in the middle of installing Final Cut Studio 2 (waiting to put in the next disc) when my buddy came over and mentioned that you could only install FCP one time and never install it again on any other computer. This worries me because in January I was going to get a new Mac Pro and un-install FC from my Macbook Pro so I could use it on the new computer. Is this possible? Or once I install this on my laptop is it permanent?
    Thanks in advance for the help

    Ok so you can install it on as many machines as you like but can only use (or have one activated through registering) one at a time. I know this is a touchy subject with piracy and all, but I thought it would just be rediculous if I installed this on my laptop, and 6 months down the line wanted to install it on another computer that I own.

  • HELP Can't install itunes 9 on Windows 7  64-Bit

    I've just bought an iPod Touch and can't install itunes on my notebook. (Which means I can't use my iPod)
    I've downloaded itunes for 64bit, but each time I double-click it, a window opens and say "The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
    and it says the itunes installer encountered an error before itunes completely installed.
    I went to Asus service center, but they said that itunes is not compatible with the new Windows 7 and I should bring it to Apple iBox instead.
    I've gone to 2 iBox and they don't understand the problem at all, and they didn't find any way to help me.
    This is so disappointing. I can't even find an email address to contact Apple directly.
    Help is so much appreciated. Thanks..

    iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
    1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
    2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
    Good luck, hope this helps.

  • Replacing macbook with pro, can I install FCP again?

    I'm on the verge of buying a new Macbook Pro to replace my dying Macbook, but need to know if I'll have to buy a new copy of Final Cut as well. The included documentation states that Final Cut Studio 2 can be installed on 1 laptop and 1 desktop, and I understand that one serial can't be used twice simultaneously on the same network, but is it not possible to install it for a second time on a new laptop instead? I'm not trying to trick the software or anything, it just seems ridiculous that I would have to buy a whole new copy of an incredibly expensive package just because my computer needs to be replaced. Everywhere I look people reiterate the "1 laptop and 1 desktop" allowance in the terms of agreement, but I can't tell if that's semantic or if the software actually determines what kind of computer it's being used on and communicates with a database.
    Thanks for any advice! Having to re-purchase the whole studio would be both infuriating and financially debilitating.

    If you are getting rid of your old macbook, then why would you not be able to install on a new one, as long as you delete it from you old macbook if you re-sell it.
    I'd be more worried about compatibility... Will FCP Studio 2 be compatible with a new Mac Book, I'm not sure... From a quick search I did, it seems to crash with Snow Leopard...
    You may need to purchase an upgrade. And should you purchase an upgrade, don't install the old version first, just have the serial # ready.

  • Can't install FCP 5

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and was getting ready to install FCP 5 (and later upgrade to 6),
    but when I click on the installation icon I get this message:
    " You can't ope the application Final Cut Studio.mpkg because the PowerPC applications are no longer supported. "
    I was not expecting this since I had FCP installed in my old computer which is also an intel based MacBook Pro (2007).
    Why am I getting this message? My system requirements are good.
    Any way around this?
    Thanks!!

    You don't need to install FCP 5 before FCP 6. Everything you need is on the FCS2 install disc. All you need is the serial number from FCP 5.
    That said, you still can't install it on Lion unless you install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 6 Snow Leo disc first.

  • [HELP] Can I install a new version of Windows 7 on my Lenovo G550?? (+ One Key Rescue???????)

    I bought a Lenovo G550 with 4GB DDR3, T4300, 320Gb. It came with Windows 7 BASIC installed and I'd like to install a version of Windows 7 Professional I have here. I want to do a clean install!
    Well, when I started the installation, the disks were partitioned as follows:
    1. 200 Mb - System;
    2. 233 GB - Hard c: \ (where I believe that Windows 7 Basic is installed)
    3. 30.2 GB - Lenovo (here are the drivers, totaling 800MB used!)
    4. LENOVO_PART - 14.8GB [OEM] (is a hidden partition! Probably the One Key Rescue. He says CAN NOT INSTALL, OEM is because, for the MANUFACTURER)
    The question is: if I delete the first 3 partitions, leaving only the hidden partition (Lenovo_PART-14.8Gb) and install Windows 7 Professional, will work?? If later I want to restore the system using the discs created by One Key Rescue, will work too? That will give an error?
    PLEASE HELP! Windows 7 BASIC sucks!
    (Thanks to google for the english translation)  

    OK - I was under the impression that you had a brand new machine and did not have to restore any data stored already.  If it were me - I would back up all of my data - not with True Image - but just back it up.  Then I would do a clean install of Windows 7  (getting rid of all those partitions) and either create one or two.   I just use one and then do regular images wtih Acronis True Image - but you could create two - one for the OS and applications and another for all your data directories. 
    I don't know how you would do a new install while trying to create the partitions exactly the way Lenovo has them when the machine is delivered.  (I don't think Lenovo does either)  So - I would make it simple and just get rid of them all after your data is backed up.   If you have new applications loaded, I would just install them again.  Not the most convenient but in the long run you will have an easier system to back up and manage. 
    I'm not a fan of Lenovo's instant restore proceedure, because A: it is complicatied, and B: it doesn't buy you anything if you crash your hard drive anyway.  It is really only good if you A: do regular backups with the instant restore, and B: either have a virus or corrupt some data and need to use it.  You can do the same thing by using the Microsoft system restore point proceedure.  So - to me it is just a gimick and makes your drive a mess wtih hidden partitions, etc.  
    That would be my approach.  I would NOT try to backup your current configuraton with Acronis before installing a new OS.  It can be done - but I think it will be very messy.  A much better approach would be just to delete all of those partitions with the Windows 7 install proceedure - then create just one or two new partitions as you install the new OS.  Then start using Acronis to do regular images on your drive.  You can also do incrementals so it only takes a couple of minutes each day. 
    Installing Windows 7 is a piece of cake as it finds all the drivers for you.  Just make sure you have it connected to an ethernet cable.  Then install your applications and then load your data back.  Very straigtforward. 
    The advantages you will get will be:  A:  You will get use of your entire hard drive space.  B:  It will be much easier to manage and back up.  C:  Using Acronis to backup your drive will be simple  D: If you ever lose data you can simply use Acronis to restore the directory or data file, or E:  If you lose your entire hard drive you simply get a new one and then restore from the Acronis CD and point it to your last backup image. 
    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Help, can't install OS 10.2 on my 2003 Imac G4

    Hello Lads,
    I picked up a 2003 IMac flat panel at a college auctio, and it's hard drive is wiped. I tried to install 10.2 retail disc, and the mac does not recognize the disc. I know the computer is OK, as my 10.5 disk is recognizes on the boot up, can't install of course, but it goes to the install page. The 10.2 does nothing, no disc icon on any of the boot up options?
    The tech at Mac said 10.2 would be fine, but isn't any suggestions? do I actually need 10.3?
    Thanks to anyone who answers.
    Donald Bowman

    The original OS X version that came with the earliest 2003 iMac was 10.2.3. The last 2003 model required 10.2.7. So depending on which exact 2003 model you have you would need either the original discs that came with the computer or a retail copy of Jaguar at least one sub-version greater than the one originally installed - 10.2.4 or 10.2.8 - or you need any version of Panther or Leopard. Of course the machine's RAM configuration must meet the minimum requirements of 256 or 512 MBs, respectively, and to use Leopard the computer must have an 867 MHz or faster CPU.

  • ***Can't install FCP on my new MacBookPro

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and rather than migrate anything from my old PowerPC Mac, decided to re-install all my apps. The problem is, when I pop my FC Studio 2 install disc into my MBP, the finder window briefly comes up and then disappears. When I double-click on the DVD icon on the desktop it happens again, never allowing me to get to the icon to install FC Studio 2.
    I tried popping it into my iMac and the finder window came up perfectly with the icon that I need to double-click on to install...
    So what's happening here? Why won't my MBP recognize my FC Studio 2 install DVD?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just by chance are you running Parallels? If you have Parallels open and running Windows, it controls the DVD drive and on the Mac side the DVD appears to be not working. If this is the case I would suggest you quit Parallels and complete your installation.
    None of our machines are running Parrellels.

  • Help Can't Install Maverick "disk doesn't use the GUID Partition-"

    I have an imac and i'm using bootcamp fro windows 8.  so I have Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP Partitions. both partition have Master Boot Record as the Partition Scheme.  When trying to install OS X Mavericks it rell me that "This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. ..." it tells me to use Disk Utility to select the disk ->partition -> select Volume Scheme and then Options... but option is grayed out... I can not change it and so can not install Mavericks... how do I solve the this issue without losing any data in mac and in windows? without deleting partitions if possible?
    thanks

    GUID is a drive map layout. You can only change it by opening Disk Utility, highlighting the physical drive and choosing the Partition tab. Then change the partition layout to anything other than Current. The Options button below that will then be active and you can then finally change the drive map from whatever it is now to GUID.
    Note that since you must repartition the drive, you WILL lose everything on all partitions. So you MUST back up everything FIRST to another drive. This can be a clone to another physical drive, internal or external. When you clone it back after repartitioning, the drive map does not change.
    To check your current drive layout, open Disk Utility and click on the physical drive you want to install Mavericks on. Example:
    Then look at the lower right of Disk Utility's box. If you see anything other than GUID Partition Table, as shown below, then you must repartition the drive.
    The other main problem is that you have to have another drive to boot to before you can change the one that needs to be repartitioned. Clone your current drive to another physical drive, not another partition on the same drive. Once the clone is complete, boot to that drive and you'll be able to repartition the drive you need to change.

  • Help.Can't install Photoshop Elements 2 on MBP

    I'm trying to install Photoshop Elements 2 on MBP.I know its not universal but figured I'd run it under Rosetta. When I double-click on installer nothing happens.I even tried dragging shortcut to desktop but still nothing.I believe Elements 2 is OSX compatible.Anyone using Elements 2?If so how do you install it?
    Macbook Pro 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I was able to install Elements 2 on my MBP without a hitch, but I'm using a European OEM version so something may be different about my CD.
    I noticed that the installer wants an admin password right away, so maybe it has something to do with your user account? Have you tried installing under a different account with administrative privileges?
