How can I UNINSTALL Final Cut STUDIO?

I do not want it anymore! How can I Uninstalled??????????????
Thank you!

1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
5) Enter the command lsbom -s (that's a lower case L, not an upper case i)
lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.
7) Press Return to view the list
8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)
9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.
10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
NOTE: This and the instructions in my previous post come from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System.

How do I uninstall Final Cut Studio?

I recently upgraded to a Mac Pro and need to uninstall Final Cut Studio from my 17" powerbook G4. Does any one have a good method for this? Is there an uninstaller? If not can you provide a list of the files and their locations so I can delete them?
Thanks!

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)

How can i remove final cut studio 7?

I would like to completely remove the installation of Final Cut Studio 7.0.3 from my start-up drive prior to upgrading the FCPX 10.0.3; what is the best practice to remove all of its apps prior to installing/upgrading via the App Store?

Thank you Shane,
Although I consider your BEST practice much like cutting off your head to get rid of the headache the Second best solution appears to have worked just as well.

Anyone know how to uninstall Final Cut Studio?

I've attempted 3 installs and at the very end it says there were errors (of course, it doesn't say what errors), and to try again. Well, after 20+ hrs. into this I think it's time to start with a clean slate. But I can't find anything online on how to uninstall Final Cut Studio. I found several links to some mysterious document 93150, but apple's site doesn't have it anymore. Yeah, my luck.
If anyone could help me on this, you're sure to get lots of good karma this weekend, maybe even into the week.
thanks,

Yeah, the Knowledge Base documents to uninstall FCP 4 or higher no longer exist. (only the doc for FCP 3 exists) That being said, the Troubleshooting Basics for Final Cut Pro 5 document does detail how to trash receipts and reinstall. Haven't needed to try it myself (knocking on wood) but I take it you've have and it still hasn't worked out for you?
What, exactly, is prompting all of these installs?

TS1110 How do I reinstall Final Cut Studio 7

1. I used FCS_Revover to uninstall Final Cut Studio 7, and I deleted all files in Library/Receipts.
2. Used my Final Cut Studio disc to re-install, entered my name, serial number,... upto "installation type" step, Final Cut Pro is set to "skip".
What else should I do to be able to reinstall Final Cut Pro 7?

1. Get the free "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com) and trash FCP's preferences.
2. Make sure all hard drives on your system have at least 15% of their total capacity as free space.
3. Make sure you've not set your OS drive as your Scratch Drive.
4. Run Disk Utility to repair all drives.
5. Run Disk Warrior if none of the above helps.
It's very rare that you need to re-install a Mac app to make it work right. Most problems like yours can be solved much more easily, and are due to issues a re-install won't help.

Trying to uninstall Final Cut Studio - files reappearing?

I am trying to uninstall Final Cut Studio, I have tried using FCS Remover and I have tried manually deleting the files (and emptying the trash) but after a restart the files are all reappearing? How in the world is this happening?

what type of files?

How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support?

How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support? Its the latest one (3) btw. The one that has FCP 7
Any input is highly appreciated

It can be installed on (1) desktop and (1) laptop, and you cannot use them at the same time. The idea is that you use the application when you are in your office, and if you need to go on the road, you can use it there, while the one in the office is not in use.

Where can I buy Final Cut Studio?

I have been searching everywhere, but I can't find Final Cut Studio with Final Cut 7 in it. Anyone know where I could buy this? I would love to buy it from Apple, but I can't find it anywhere.

Discontinued.
Call the Apple online store. A few months ago they still had a few copies for sale by telephone only.
Maybe you will get lucky.

Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8?

Can I use Final Cut Studio 3 - notably FCP 7 - on the lastest MacBook Pro (non Retina) (Z0MV-27-4GB-512-HRA Apple 15" MacBook Pro/2.7GHz Quadcore Intel Core i7/8 GB) running OS 10.8? If not, is there a work-around if I have to revisit work done in FCS 3?

I have it running on the latest NON-Retina MBP. And a good friend of mine has it running on his Retina model. Works fine.

What if I have to revisit any one of them? What if I try FCP X and find I prefer FCS 3?
If you need to revisit them...that's why you install FCS3. That's really the only reason I have that on my system, to revisit old projects, and to deal with clients who still use FCP 7.
You really should look at moving on though...not sticking with FCP7. It's 4 years old...two years since it was EOL. Adobe Premiere Pro CC is a very good FCP replacement...although I don't like their "rental" method of paying a subscription to use it. Or you can buy Adobe CS6...but that just lacks enough to make it not quite tempting for me. Premiere CC is spot on...but **** if I don't hate that subscription model. But there's also Avid Media Composer. But that doesn't do a lot of things that I used FCP and Adobe for...

If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.

Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

Can u upgrade Final Cut studio product key from a G-5 platform to a new intel processor?

Not sure here ... you want to upgrade Final Cut Studio or do you want to move the version you have to an Intel Mac? Both is possible if you meet the system requirments.
1. Upgrade FCS
The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
2. Upgrade to Intel Mac
You may run the applications on one desktop and one laptop at the same time
