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 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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

I want to uninstall Final Cut Studio. Or some of its apps. How?

I want to uninstall some of Final Cut Studio's apps to make room on my MacBook Pro's hard drive. I just came back to Mac from PC, so I'm a little out of practice on Macs. Can someone help me? Thanks.

AppZapper
It comes with 5 free zaps before you have to purchase, but the price is good.

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 do I uninstall final cut pro x?

Hi there.
Is there a proper way to uninstall Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and the new Compressor from my system (10.6.8), or can I just thrash the 3 apps?
I'd also like to make sure to delete the downloaded additional content, and that my Final Cut Studio (FCP 7.0.3, etc) that's also in this computer doesn't get affected.
I searched hi and lo and couldn't find any answer of discussion about it. The manual also doesn't say.
Thank you.

Hi there.
I have a way for you to uninstall FCPX, but it may be incomplete (as in it might not delete everything). Do not use this if you have Final Cut Studio and you want to keep it as this will render it useless and you will have to reinstall. First delete the program itself. If you are using a developer preview of Lion follow these steps:
1. Open Launchpad and find FCPX, Motion 5, and Compressor
2. Click and hold on the icon, then click the x in the top left corner of the wiggling icon.
3. Skip down below after the Snow Leopard Part.
Snow Leopard Steps:
1. Find a Mac uninstallation program (Here the one that I use: http://www.freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/)
2. Launch App Cleaner.
3. Click on the application folder in your dock and find the 3 apps.
4. Drag them into the window that appears when you open App Cleaner.
5. Click delete, and then type the administrator password if it asks for one.
6. Skip down below.
Remove (I think all) of the additional content:
1. Click on finder.
2. Press CMD + Shift + G
3. Copy and paste this (replacing username with your actuall username): /Users/Username/Library
4. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.
5. Follow Step 2 above.
6. Follow Step 3 above except paste this (and don't replace anything): /Library/Application Support
7. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.

Uninstall Final Cut Studio Pro 2 (buggy)

Really Frustrated with FCPS2, can any tell me how to remove Studio from my system. I need to go back to 5, but need to clean out the buggy Final Cut Pro Studio 2

You can do a "clean" install of your OS, or you can:
http://proapptips.com/tips/article.php?story=20060927223215377&query=reinstall
the clean install is the most hotly debated topic right now, other than the utility of "Content Creation with Final Cut Studio" forum. you decide. good luck.

Uninstall Final Cut Studio

Ok this may have been addressed but I could not seem to find any info. I am looking to update to Final Cut Studio 2. I want to buy the full version. However I have Final Cut Studio installed how can I unstall it and then install the new version without any issues. Thanks in advance

Welcome to the discussions!
Apple agrees with you: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305389
The procedure is to trash the applications, and their respective folders in Library>Application Support.

If I clean install my Mac, how will I reinstall Final Cut Studio?

I'm experiencing a blue screen issue with my iMac 10.6 with Snow Leopard. And I'm resorting to doing a clean install. I'm thinking this will remove Final Cut Studio and it's applications, making me reinstall them on a fresh computer.
Will there be an issue reinstalling this license on the same computer? Because I can not go into the computer now to uninstall FCS. I've been sifting through the forums and Google and haven't found an answer.

>Will there be an issue reinstalling this license on the same computer?
No. It'll install fine. There is no way to un-license it from your machine, like Adobe and Avid require, because you don't license it. It's just installed.
Simply reinstall from the original disks and you will be fine.
