How do I reinstall FCP X?

Having trouble with FCP X since latest update and need to reinstall. App store says 'installed' even though I've put FCP X in the trash.

Hi ..
Try this...
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
The App Store has no way of knowing that you have moved the app to the Trash. The only way to delete an app and all it's associated files is to use a utility like > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com

How can I reinstall FCP 7?

Final Cut 7 is crashing on launch. I went through the usual recommended troubleshooting steps to no avail. Following suggestions, I used FCS Remover to start from scratch. I reached into my cabinet to reinstall from the origianl FCS 2 disks but they won't work with the current generation OS Mavericks. So I tried to reinstall from my FCS UPgrade disks, but since FCP has been removed in previous steps, the installer won't allow that upgrade :-(
Any thoughts?

MtD,
Thanks for taking time to reply. The following is a screen shot of the FCS installer:
Up to this point I have not been asked for any serial #s. As you can see, the Final Cut Pro option is greyed out and therefore not selectable. I don't need to reinstall the other apps as I no longer use them. I only use FCP 7 for legacy projects. When I go forward and deselect those files I don't wish to install, it still doesn't allow FCP to install.

How do I uninstall FCP X?

My friend has FCP 6 and recently updated to FCP X.
The movie we're making was originally opened on another computer with FCP 7.
Now when we try and open in FCP X it's not compatible.
How do I uninstall FCP X? Then, how do I reinstall FCP 6, without loading the prior update of FCP 10?
All help much appreciated, thank you!

Use FCS Remover to unistall the apps http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
If the project has been opened and saved in FCP7 you will not be able to open it in FCP6. You need an XML export from FCP7 to be able to recover the project.

How to uninstall and reinstall FCP 7 ?

I just found out that my FCP 7 on Mac Pro is corrupted and wouldn't capture DV format although it would capture HDV without problem. FCP 7 on Mac Book Pro works fine.
What's the most efficient way to uninstall and reinstall FCP 7 from the Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade?

Better, yet a clean install of Mac OS X and FCS:

How do I uninstall FCP Studio?

I have had FCP since they released the universal version. It has worked perfectly on my computer. I had an external harddrive connected to my computer. It recently stopped working and I had to return it and received a new one. Since I disconnected the hard drive, FCP also started to not work. Every time I would try to open FCP it would begin to open, the icon would bounce, and then it would close. I went to the apple store (waste of time) and they told me to uninstall FCP and reinstall it. Well, I thought that this would be an easy task. I attempted to just trash the entire FCP Studio and reinstall it, but every time I do, all the other programs except FCP reinstall...FCP just has a choice to UPGRADE it and even when I do that now I can't even get FCP to begin to open. I'm totally confused. How do I get FCP to work again on my system? ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

hello...
to totally uninstall FCP there is a great little application called appzapper which i use. I removes all associated files and doesn't leave a trace.
go to appzapper.com

Trying to reinstall FCP 3...asking for original CD

Hello all-
Maybe someone can help. I'm trying to reinstall FCP 3. I'm getting a message asking for the original CD. When I pop it in the same message comes up.
How do I fix this?
By the way, I'm on 10.4.11
Thanks

I do not believe FCP 3 will install under 10.4
You need to either upgrade FCP to a current version or revert your osx installation to 10.3

Remember When? Pitfalls of reinstalling FCP 4.5

I primarily edit for personal use and pleasure, not for a living. I'm one of those who has a system that has worked for me and I've stuck with it. But, now, a problem has developed that requires attention.
I can no longer capture footage. My FCP system properly edits previously captured footage but the system freezes when I try to capture new footage. It freezes whether I use capture now, capture clip or batch digitize. I get the spinning beach ball and have to shut down my computer to escape the freeze. I end up with a hugh, unusable file that I have to trash. I am playing back on a Sony Beta SP UVW 1800 deck and digitizing through a Blackmagic Decklink SP card at 8 bit uncompressed.
I've noticed, leading up to the inception of this problem, that FCP was not retaining all of my settings all of the time. I would quit FCP, reopen it and it wouldn't open to the last program I was editing. Often the capture settings would be changed. And occasionally, upon starting FCP, the window requesting that I register FCP would pop up. I registered when I purchased the system.
I have rebuilt the permissions, run Tech Tools and Disk Warrior, trashed the FCP Prefs (manually and by using "FCP Rescue") and unplugged all of my external drives to attempt to capture to the internal hard drive. Interestingly enough, when I tried unplugging the external drives I was able to capture properly on the first attempt but the computer would freeze on the second capture attempt.
I am guessing that now I should try reinstalling FCP. I've never done this and am nervous. I've searched this forum and printed out suggestions on how to remove the FCP application and preferences. My question is this: Are there pitfalls to reinstalling for which I should be aware? I'm concerned about loosing QuickTime. Should I be? As you veterans will remember, FCP 4.5 doesn't play well with QT 7.X. Do I need to be concerned about the rest of the production suite? Motion-Live Type- Soundtrack-etc. And, finally, what don't I know about reinstalling that might prevent a disaster?
Thanks for any help anyone might be willing to offer.

clean wipe and install of os X?
is that necessary....im afraid of this problem of not being able to run compressor, snowballing into a problem of not being able to use the computer for anything. in backing up critical files...how do i know what files are associated with an application for example....i have some programs that i no longer have the software for...how do i know what files i need to archive in order to return them to the drive later and guarantee that they will work?
basically...at this point i could care less about compressor...i need to get final cut HD working and i need to protect all the other applications currently on my computer.....
is htere any possible way of just tooling around with FCP related files instead of doing a system reinstall?
thanks.

Uninstall Reinstall FCP X Missing Projects, Events, Libraries

My situation is a mess. Once I updated FCP X to Mavericks, it went bad. FCP would not export. It would not stop rendering. I had no option but to uninstall and reinstall it. Prior to doing so, I went to "movies" and copied "FCP Events" and "FCP Projects" and pasted them to an external. Well, as you all know, the updated FCP so brilliantly (heavy emphasis on sarcascm) created this library crap that I don't quite comprehend yet. I reinstalled FCP and I pasted projects and events into movies. I cannot access events and projects that I previously had. I know that I must still have them (right?) because I copied and pasted everything. But FCP is not reading them for some reason. I don't know how or where to properly paste the prior projects and events into the framework of the new version in order to make them accessible.
Secondly, how do I go about storing my FCP media on an external so that FCP reads from the external. I am editing on a Mac Air (I know I am an idiot for buying an air for editing) and my hardrive is almost full.
I know this is no where near to being as clear as need be to illuminate my host of problems. You patience, further inquiries and answers are more than appreciated.
Thanks!

You have to use the update function to update the old projects and events to libraries.
Copy your current projects and events folders to the external drive into folders called Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events. Run the update function and select the external drive to be update.
There is a great deal of information available online about this update. You might start

Can I install ONLY Compressor 1.2.1 without reinstalling FCP 4.5?

I need to reinstall Compressor 1.2.1 (the earlier version before I update) because of the dreaded "cannot connect to background process" (paraphrase) error. I can get to the custom install screen and uncheck everything except Compressor, but I can't uncheck the FCP app itself. Do I have to reinstall FCP, too, just to reinstall Compressor?!?!
I have 4.5 HD and am using a G5 dual 2 (NOT Intel) with 1.5GB of RAM, and am running OS X 10.4.8.
Thanks in advance...
Lloyd

Thanks... just one more quick question:
After I re-installed Compressor 1.2.1 and restarted, I got an error message saying "An item in the Startup Items folder ("/Library/StartupItems/Qmaster") does not have the proper security settings." and then the rest of the message... My question is, do I need to have Qmaster running if I'm not using a cluster? It seems like no matter what I do now, I can't get Compressor to work (reinstall it without my Ethernet cable attached, reinstalling only the Compressor .pkg file/bundle, etc.). Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong or what I have to do to get this to work? I tried to bypass Compressor and let DVDSP 3.0.2 handle all the encoding, but no matter how low I make the MbPs, I still get an error message that it's too high. I also have chapter markers, so I'm not sure of a work-around.
Again, I'm using the FCP 4.5 HD package. Is this common? I'm thinking of using iDVD...it's not as professional, but at least it works.
Thanks,
Lloyd

How can I reinstall FCPX without losing my projects?

I've never had problems with FCPX until the other it stopped working. I had a font that wasn't supported (which I have since deleted form my system) and the spinning wheel appeared. Skimming the clips works but as soon as I click on anything the spinning wheel starts again and freezes the app. I need to save the edits of a short feature that I have near completion (100+ hours in) while reinstalling FCP, any suggestions on how to do this safely? Thanks

You didn't have to reinstall the whole OS, that is rarely nessisary.
Move the FCP X app from the Applications folder to the Trash.
Launch App Store, go to the Purchased tab.
You'll see an "Install" button next to FCP X.
Click it, let it install, you're good to go.
My course outlines it all.

My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!
Deb
