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.
Steve

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.

Is it possible to resell pre owned/installed Final Cut Studio packages?

I have a general enquiry on the Apple Fial Cut Studio package. I have the commercial package with all manuals etc. which I bought from Apple. I have run into finantial difficulties. I was wondering if it is possible to sell the entire package on eBay easily... if so, what would I have to do? change of ownership etc. If this has to be done what will it mean and how hard will it be to do?
Your help would be MOST appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. It seems to be impossible to find an e-mail address to ask Apple a question like this! How frustrating
MacBook Pro 2.16Ghz Intel DualCore Processor 2Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It shouldnt matter if they have the IP tho surely, because I can travel around the world and still get my updates wherever I have a connection.
But basically what your saying is that I can send the whole package to the second party and tell them with complete confidence that they will be able to register it all online and get all necessary updates etc. as long as my computer doesnt use all that?
Sorry to be a pain, I just dont want to annoy anybody who wants to buy it!

Help with selling Final Cut Studio

Hello, I am selling my mac pro with Final Cut Studio and i was wondering how do I transfer the ownership so the person receiving it can register under their name? I am the original owner and have all the original software and books.

yes.
Of course once you sell it, you can not use that license as the basis for an upgrade version to be installed on your computer. Upgrade licenses require you have ALL the previous versions in your control.

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.

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)

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:

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.

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!

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.

7 Hours to Install Final Cut Studio 2??

I just installed Final Cut studio 2 on my Brand New Mac Pro and it took 7 hours... I installed it on my other Mac Pro back in May and it maybe took maybe an hour. I was just going to ask and see if this was normal or if I should be concerned. I have also put a black magic card in the machine and run into some issues with that as well.
Thanks for any thoughts you may have.

Here's the trick you NEED to know.
Once you know how to do this you will never again need to waste an entire evening inserting DVD's.
1) Make disk images of all your DVD's using Disk Utility. Be sure to save them as DVD/CD Master in the Image Format dialogue box, with no compression added. Save all the disk images to an external drive if possible. Final Cut Pro users all have big external drives, but in a pinch this would work off an internal drive if you have the space.
2) Mount all of the DVD copies on your desktop, all of them at one time. This assumes you have ample memory, which if you are running Final Cut Pro you'd better have.
3) Start the install. Select your options. Then watch the magic as your Mac loads the DVD copies on your desktop until the process is done. It's that easy.
It takes a while to make the disk images, but once you have them saved to your external drive you can use them again when you get a new machine or need to reinstall for any reason. This works with Logic Studio as well as the Adobe suites- I've used this process for years. In the old days we used this process for floppies; works just as well with CD's and DVD's. Once you try it you will be dedicating an external drive to software installer disk images.
Cool, or what?
