HT4928 I need to reinstall FCP X

I need to reinstall FCP X but in the app store it says I installed it and I do not have the possibility to download it again. Same with iPhoto. I have paid for these apps. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thx
Tim

Dahveed,

Do i need to reinstall programs and applications like FCP after upgrading to the new Lion OS?

Do i need to reinstall programs and applications like FCP after upgrading to the new Lion OS?

I've installed Lion over Snow Leopard and all my non Apple software is still here - you may want to check if your software will work with Lion and I would definately recommend having a bootable backup in case anything goes wrong

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

Do I need to uninstall FCP before installing FCP Studio 2?

Hi all, I have Final Cut Pro Studio, FCP 5.1.4, Academic version, and recently got Final Cut Studio 2, and just wanted to check to see if I needed to completely reinstall FCP, or would just installing FCP Studio 2, do the trick?
Thanks

I'm still trying to figure out my plan of attack for installing FCS2 when it arrives today.
Randy, do you at least delete the apps before installation, or do you just put the DVDs in and go?
Most folks around here preach the complete reinstall of the OS and then installing FCS2...you don't agree?
Just trying to get all opinions here...you are cleared of any blame when/if something goes wrong!

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.

Need to reinstall FC Studio?

I had to re install Tiger because of some read/write issues discovered during a tech tools scan. I didi "archive and install" and most things are ok. FCP and Compressor and soundtrack pro and motion will not open. FCE, DVDSP4, live type and soundtrack are ok.
do I need to reinstall FC studio apps, or is there something I'm missing that's faster?
thankx

Probably better to just bite the bullet and reinstall. I had exactly this problem. I had done a reinstall of the OS to allow itunes to manage my ipod correctly and had to reinstall a few of the fcstudio components.

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

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.

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 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

Adobe Bridge is not fuctiong correctly, I need to reinstall CS2

I have Adobe CS2, I recently took a ton of pictures in Large and Raw with my Canon Camera. When I upladed then to my computer and wanted to work on the .RAW images my Bridge will not allow me to adjust the .RAW images. I am assuming I need to reinstall my CS2. How do I do this with out losing my activation codes.
Thank you

No, do not uninstall/reinstall. What you need to do is reset preferences. Hold down the Crtl key and start Bridge. You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options. That should get you back to normal.

I received a gift card and when I redeemed it an error message said that I had some itunes files missing and that I needed to reinstall itunes. Will I still have all my credits when I download itunes?

I received an online gift card for Father's Day. When I tried to redeem the gift then I received a error message saying I had some itune files missing and I needed to reinstall/download itunes. Will I still have my previous purchase credits after downloading and reistalling itunes?

You will, because the credited funds are on your iTunes account, not the application. When you reinstall iTunes just configure it with your old iTunes account and your credits will be there waiting for you.

I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

Hello,
As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
Thank you for any help.

all of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any file or library that has anything to do with itunes except safari and quicktime are fine. im about to pull out whats left of my hair.

Okay, that's got one thing ruled out at least.
Can you check something for me, big? I'd like to see if iTunes launches with the Bonjour Service disabled.
In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes. Does it open this time?

I need to reinstall my operating system for 10.5 after seeing a file folder and question mark flashing on my start up screen. Can anyone help me with this?

Hello,
That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
See if DU even sees it.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
