Help - installing final cut studio keeps failing

I am trying to install final cut studio - I selected all options for download, got to the part where the audio content 1 disc was asked for, at some point in that it asked for the original install disc - which I put back in, and then the installation failed.
I attempted re-installation 3 more tomes - always failing at this point.
Anyone experienced this or know what I should do now?
ThankYou

Hello
I did as You suggested and it still fails at the same place, with the same generalised message - ie "the Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail".
Can it be an issue to do with licensing? My co-worker and I work in the same organisation - he has it loaded onto his macbook pro and said it had two "usages" available, and so I would be able to do the same(the organisation owns the software). I may be a bit innocent(!) but it wouldn't suprise me if programmers embedded such checking procedures to take place during installation - and the message given in relation to it be general - like it's failed but not specifically saying why. Or am I being overly "worried"!!!

  • Need Help Installing Final Cut Studio Version 2.0.1 on Macbook Pro

    I am trying to install an old version of Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Studio Version 2.0.1) on my macbook pro (OS X Mountain Lion). When I tried to install it, it said, "power pc applications not supported on this computer". I was told to "uninstall" OS X on my computer, install Final Cut Studio, and reinstall OS X Mountain Lion again. Is this true? If so, how do I do this?

    There is a "bug" in the installer application of Final Cut Studio Pro 2 that will fail to work in Lion or Mt. Lion; it will work successfully in Snow Leopard and a subsequent upgrade to Lion or Mt. Lion after the successful installation of FCSP2 will continue to work.
    Once Mt. Lion is installed you can use one of these two methods to install FCSP2:
    1)  Pacifist
    2)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:

  • Help with installing Final Cut Studio package

    I have a copy of Final Cut Studio 2.0.1. I would like to know if there is a way to create an image file to combine all disks into 1 file. This would help in installing, since I only have one set of disks. I don't want to risk ruining any of the disks, since I have a lab of 30 computers to install Final Cut Studio 2 on.
    I have the following disks:
    Final Cut Studio Install
    Audio Content 1
    Audio Content 2
    Audio Content 3
    Motion Content
    LiveType Media 1
    LiveType Media 2
    DVD Studio Pro Content
    Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Shane, I have all 8 FCP disks saved as a dmg file. I am currently storing these in a share on our NEW Apple XSERVE. I have tried mounting all of the 8 dmg files to the desktop of the iMac, that I'm wanting to install on. But this takes an unusally long time, I cancelled it after a couple days of it trying to mount the images to the desktop.
    I'm very green to using Apples, just something that has been dropped in my lap.
    Is there a way that I can mount these images in the folder on the Xserve? of is using a portable HDD the only way to do it.

  • Help in installing Final Cut Studio 5.1 Academic

    Help! I had to uninstall old versions of Final Cut Studio.
    I now am trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 Academic. Installer rejects the serial number every time. I don't know what to do.
    It's a valid serial number; I have the packaging right here in front of me. It's old (purchased November 2006) but that shouldn't matter, right?
    Please help.

    Hello Brian,
    Thanks for the reply. I was able to read the disc on my Macbook Pro and I copied all of the folders on the install disc onto my flash drive. I plugged it into my iMac and it gave me the following error message: The alias "Install Final Cut Studio" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found. Delete Alias, Fix Alias, or OK. Deleting the alias just moves the install file to the trash bin. Fixing the Alias asks me to Choose the item that you want alias to "Install Final Cut Studio" to open.
    I could not figure out what to do after this. Any clues?
    Thanks again.

  • I am trying to install final cut studio on my computer. I get to where it asks me to insert audio disc 2 and it fails.

    I am trying to install final cut studio on my computer. I get to where it asks me to insert audio disc 2 and it fails.How do I continue to install?

    What I've done to get around the problem of quircky DVD readers is to create a disk image of each of the installation discs and store them on an external firewire drive. When I need to install/reinstall, I open the images and put them all on my desktop then launch the installer from disk 1. Since all the disks are available, the installation happens without any intervention from me and is done within 30-45 minutes. (your time may vary depending upon computer variables)

    It may have half installed the software so dose anyone know if i can reinstall or delete what it has installed?

    after using FCS remover run  disc repair:
    shut down the Mac
    Hold the Shift key on keyboard and start up the Mac
    The Mac will run the repair tasks it takes 10- 30 minutes, then it will boot up normally
    insert the FCS DVD in the drive and install FCS again.

  • Why Can't I Install Final Cut Studio?

    I have a MacBook Pro which is about 12 months old. It has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and 8G of RAM. I have been trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1. Yeah I know that is an OLLLLLLLLLLLD version. Why I chose not to update is neither here nor there. I was about to update when Final Cut Pro X was realeaded and FCS vanished into the ether. I really only wanted DVD Pro but when that wouldn't install I went back to Square 1.
    The specificationa as stated are:- "These discs contain the files required to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 on either PPC or Intel based Mac computers."
    The error message that shows up on the screen when I click on the install package is:- "You can't open the application Final Cut Studio pro.mpkg because Power PC applucations are no longer supported."
    This is despite the stated specifications and the fact that there is a Universal Icon on the discs.
    I am also having a simillar but not the same problem with iLife '06 but i'll start another thread on that.
    I'm confused, thanks for your help in advance.

    Your problem is you are running Lion as your OS (10.7) and Lion does not support Rosetta which is required to run the INSTALLER of FCS 2. If you were running Snow Leopard, you would have been able to do the install.

  • Can i install Final cut studio 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on OSX lion

    Is any body who can help me on giving me some direction on how to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on my OSX Lion, if it's doable. Thanks

    The easiest way is to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD first.
    There's also a way of doing it via Terminal that's been posted here a couple of times. A search should bring that up.

  • Problens with installing Final Cut Studio

    When I am trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 I get the error message
    Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough priviledges.
    I have been through andd made sure that I have admin rights
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    don't know if this will help, but the first thing i would do is use the disk utility to "repair permissions" on your hard drive.

  • My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

    My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

    I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project.  Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels.  I resampled the stills and everything was fine again.  Hope this might help.

  • Cannot install Final Cut Studio on new Mac Pro

    When I go to install Final Cut Studio on my new Mac Pro, it tells me that "Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
    I have the ATI 5870 and, just a wild guess here, I'm betting it does support Quartz Extreme.
    A software update doesn't help me here because I cannot get the software installed the first place to be able to update it. What should I do?

    FCS 1...Final Cut Pro 5.0? Won't work on an Intel. PowerPC only. You need at least 5.1...which wasn't a free upgrade, so updating won't work. You need FCP 5.1, FCP 6 or the most recent FCP 7. Those are the only versions that will work on the newer macs.

  • Kernel Panic(s) after installing Final Cut Studio

    So I've been using this Mac Pro for 10+ months.
    10G Ram, 3 internal hard drives, OSX 10.5.8.
    Been running Logic Pro and Aperture and other small apps with zero problems.
    Recently, the only change to my computer is I installed Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio Upgrade.
    Past 3 days I've gotten 2 kernel panics. (Report said something about FBD Memory?)
    (1st one, I was using Mpeg Streamclip to transcode footage.
    2nd one, I was only running Safari.)
    I repaired disk permissions, used diskwarrior, did the hardware diagnostic test thing, nothing came up.
    I asked Apple Genius but they just said reduce everything to 'base config' and troubleshoot from there.
    I wanna ask you guys, do you know of any obvious existing conflicts between the software that might be going on? Am I missing something obvious?

    Have a look at System Profiler and if you have ECC errrors on the third slot (after rendering some time), you might have the same problem like me and it's not solved yet. But you can take out the third dimm or run smcFanControl and raise the speed a little. Both helps in my case as a workaround.

  • How can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new MacBook Pro with Lion?

    I just purchased and received a new 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina) last week. I need to install Final Cut Studio 2 on this computer. I have researched this and found that I need to install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD in order to do this. This is the first Mac I've bought ( although I've been working with them for years), so I don't have a Snow Leopard DVD. I am a high school teacher and we use FCS 2 for my classes so buying FCP X is not a viable option for me since I teach FCP 6. The iMacs we use in school run Leopard and were never upgraded to Snow Leopard (budget cuts and all), so I can't even borrow one from my district.
    Does anyone know how I can obtain Rosetta? Or another way to install this without it?
    Thank you ! :)

    There is no way to add Rosetta support because it is not supported by OS X Lion at system level. This has been documented before the release of OS X Lion by itself.
    If you really need Final Cut Studio 2, I would return your computer if possible, and purchase a Mac that is capable of running Snow Leopard (all 2010 models, early 2011 MBP and some other 2011 models)
