How to uninstall FCP Studio 2

Anyone out there knows how to uninstall FCP Studio 2?
Thanks,
Rogelio

The following is the method that worked for previous versions, and I assume it would work for FCS2:
Warning - This is a long post.
How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the install discs for each app and go through the following procedure to identify the installed files.
1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
2) Click to let the installer check your system
3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the files installed, then select all of them
5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
6) Open a text editor & paste the list
7) If you have a printer connected, print
8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated in the list
9) Insert the next app's install disc and repeat
The other way involves the Terminal.
Using Terminal:
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 (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: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System.

  • How to uninstall FCP Studio?

    Hello, can anybody provide a link or instructions on how to uninstall FCP Studio? I need to reinstall it to a lower version (5.1.4 to 5.1.2) due to older project files and compatibility with other systems. Thanks!

    If you just want to get back to FCP 5.1.2 you will need the 5.1.2 updater which Apple doesn't make available for download.
    To reinstall 5.1 Apple read this Apple Doc:
    Remove receipts and reinstall Final Cut Pro
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337
    Skip step 11 (updating with Software Update)
    Update with the 5.1.2 update.
    This worked for me.

  • Uninstall FCP Studio?

    Greetings,
    I am selling my powerbook and want to uninstall FCP studio so I can put it on my new Desktop.
    (I did not have any projects on the machine- so I did not need to do any back-up.)
    I removed all FCP folders from finder and trashed them.
    Is this all I need to do?
    It's my understanding that you can only run FCP on one machine at a time so;
    When I go to re install FCP Studio onto the powermac- how does it know that I have uninstalled. off the powerbook?
    Thanks

    Search is your friend; a simple search for the word "uninstall" yielded several results including this one: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68bd31a4

  • 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

  • How to uninstall logic studio

    hellow...
    I have installed the logic studio install disk 1 and disided i dont need it.
    I erazed the apps but stuck with 7 gb contant of this disk and i have no idea how to get rid of it whitout erazing an importent system files...
    I sarched the net and found a very complicated ways of deleting and whitout geranty it w'ont ****** up my other apps.
    Does anyone have an idea what to do???
    And how it can be, that a super company like apple didnt thougt to put an uninstaller in her on software?!?!
    This is one of the things that puts her os behind (i still love it).
    I'm an engeniring software student and one of the most importent things we learned is to clean our on garbge.
    thanks...
    **Sorry for my bad english i'm from Israel (and apple d'ont realy care of a little contry like mine to open a sopport in hebrew).

    You need to delete the application, delete the Application Support/Logic folder, delete the installed jam pack loops and instrument content (which get installed to your GB libary AppSupport/Garageband), then you also need to check the AppSupport/Audio folders for things like impulses and preset settings.
    Check both system and user app support trees - by default, Logic will install preset content into the system areas.
    This will get rid of the core stuff - if you really want a full list, you need to go into your package receipts, as there are a lot of other support frameworks and packages that also get installed by default (Applications like Soundtrack Pro, Mainstage, support apps like the loop utility, Compressor, and all kinds of video frameworks, Quicktime and other stuff).
    There isn't a quick "uninstall" option.
    So I really don't recommend a "clean" uninstall at all, just remove the content.
    What version of Windows do you recommend, if you want to use Windows
    apps on your mac ? (XP ? Vista ?)
    Why are you asking me? I can't stand Windows, and have no idea of what windows applications you want to run.

  • How to uninstall Logic Studio 8

  • How to uninstall Developer Studio 2.0.4

    Would someone explain how I can uninstall SAP Developer Studio 2.0.4?  I have lost the original installation package.  I ask this question because I am interested in installing the latest SAP Developer Studio Trial Edition.

    Hi,
    This can be done in any one of the two ways.
    1 Approach
    First goto control panel->add and remove programs and locate the installed developer studio and remove it.  If Developer Studio is not existing there, then follow the second approach.
    2nd approach.
    Start  uninstallation of  the existing Web Application Server, then it asks for what are all the components you want to uninstall.  Then, select only Developer Studio to uninstall the Developer Studio only.
    thanks,

  • How Well does FCP Studio Run on a MBP?

    I've been debating whether to wait on a MP update or pickup a new 17" MBP. How well do all the Studios programs run on the new 17" MBP?
    Thanks

    How well do all the Studios programs run on the new 17" MBP?
    Exceptionally well. You can also get an Express Card adapter and run super fast eSATA external drives too.

  • FCP Studio and Logic Pro on same rig?

    Can Logic and FCP be used on the same system? I originally bought my rig to use both programs, but I have had HUGE issues with my rig crashing since I bought it. Logic (w/ Video Track) crashed when using 3rd party plug-ins or when just using internal sounds. Tried all sorts of fixes, and had my pro tech-xpert investigate these issues a few times over 3 months. Right now, I have to totally shut down every 20-30 mins. to insure smooth operation of Logic w/o plug-ins, or very minor plug-in use (less than 3 tracks) w/ or w/o Video Track.
    I've heard that Logic 7.2 can only use up to 2 GB RAM, and previous to the .2 rev Logic couldn't access my Quad processors. Is this true? The latest solution to these issues is to remove 4GB RAM and just use my rig for Logic. Is this the only solution anyone knows of? (my tech-xpert says my issues all seem to be memory-related)
    I hadn't tried to start FCP Studio on my rig at all. In fact, my tech-xpert uninstalled FCP Studio during a 48-hr repair/test. I did have issues w/ DVD Studio Pro crashing my rig when I tried to burn a DVD.
    Any and all help/suggestions appreciated in advance.

    Do you have the newest driver for the mobile pre?
    I sometimes use a Fast Track Pro and it works on 10.8 But sometimes have problems right after selecting it as input.
    I like M-Audio gear but if you are having trouble with two of there interfaces now, maybe you should look into another brand.

  • How do I uninstall FCP X Trial (I want to purchase and re-install "properly")?

    I installed the FCP X Trial app and have decided to purchase and go forward with FCP X, but have some questions:
    I see from the Apple FCP installation best practices document (HT4722) that it's not advisable to install along with Studio (instructions I did not follow in my hasty installation the Trial version) and I know Larry Jordan has some alternative views on FCP X installation which sound good to me, so I think I'd really like to carefully remove (unistall) the Trial version without damaging my current Studio installation (which I want to retain). I will then proceed with a carful installation fo the purchased X apps (and have not yet completely decided on which path I will take with that.
    So how do I uninstall?
    And does anyone here have any thoughts on the best way to install X given that:
    1. I will continue using both X and Studio (but of course won't run them at the same time). I simply cannot divorce myself from Studio completely, but want to start using X in certain projects that are conducive to it.
    2. I do NOT wish to do any partitioning (hate partitions).
    Thanks!

    Unlike the old FCP 7 there is no mystery about uninstalling FCP X.
    Simply drag the application to the trash and delete it.
    To install FCP X and FCS on the same disk (and partition) read the last 2 sections of this Apple Fact Sheet. (You didn't read far enough through it).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4722
    Which method you use depends on which item you wish to have put in its own folder.
    Both methods work perfectly.
    Just to avoid any misunderstanding these are the titles of the 2 pertinent sections:-
    Install Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 on the same disk as Final Cut Studio (2009)
    Restore the Final Cut Studio (2009) applications to their original location

  • 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,
    -w

    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?

  • Re-Installing FCP Studio, Uninstall First?

    Can anyone give me some advice? I have been having problems first with Compressor, and now I can't even open FCP. A friend suggested I reinstall everything.
    My question is: do I have to uninstall everything first? If so, does that involve trashing just "Final Cut Pro" - or also "Compressor," "DVD Studio Pro," etc., since they all come together on the FCP Studio discs.

    OK. Will download and try that now.
    Here are the details: first Compressor just stopped working. When I tried to export a FCP sequence using Compressor, I would get an error message that said the file name was already in use. And then the batch would fail. It was frustrating because it came out of nowhere. But FCP was still working.
    Then a seemingly separate issue: yesterday afternoon, I installed a printer driver using the original OS X disc. After that, FCP stopped opening. When I try to open the application, I can see the icon blink for a moment on the dock, but it closes again jsut as quickly. I've tried opening it from "Applications", from my project - nothing works.
    So. Not sure how to proceed. I will try FCP rescue right now.
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Installing FCP Studio Uninstall Express HD 3.5?

    I just bought FCP studio(Academic Version), but before I install it should I uninstall Express(version above.) ? Live Type ? Soundtrack? I was planning on using Express on another machine so would like to have these programs on that since I paid for both.

    You do not need FCE HD 3.5 before you install FCS. The installation for FCS will be shorter because LifeType (including livetime fonts (about 6GB) don't need to install. You can use both versions on one machine. However when you install FCE HD on another machine you may not use the program (FCE HD) the same time. Look in the legal information.
