I plan to buy iMac w/Mountain Lion How do I un-install FCE and MSoft Office 2011 from old iMac and reinstall

How do I uninstall FCE (v 4.0.1) from old iMac (OS 10.6.8 2GHz Intel Core Duo)?
Can I re-install on new iMac I plan to buy with Mountain Lion?  I have install FCE CD.

I couldn't remember from my earlier experience what the software was that worked, but I found FCS Remover on my Mac in Applications, so that's what I plan to try.
That will do the job removing all the FCE related files.

And I was surprised to learn the new iMacs don't have a DVD burner which I use all the time on this iMac and my newer Macbook Pro.  I suppose that's why the prices start at $1299?  I will look, but does the Apple store sell DVD burners?  And assuming so, do any of you have recs?
As Keith mentions Apple sells one as an optional extra.
There are others on the market as well.
My experience is to do some serious homework before buying any unit to make sure it is compatible with your specific Mac. Some users have been very disappointed.
I use an OWC (Other World Computing) bluray burner with several types of connections and it works fine.

Lastly, it has taken me about 4 years to master FCE.  I am willing to go to FCP X if those here can advise me about 1)how tough is the learning curve if you're good at FCE and 2) is it a better program?
Question 1.
Totally different to FCE and you need to forget most of what you learnt there to adapt to FCP X.
Most dramas occur learning FCP X because users try to think and use FCP X the the old way.
It took me some adjusting to get into the new methods and thinking and terms used.
Advice: Read the manual and unlearn FCE. Search the FCP X forum or ask a specific question, the info there is mounting.
Question 2.
Better is a subjective term.
I have sold all my old legacy FCP stuff and moved on to FCP X.
As a broad statement it makes it easier for someone who knows little about editing and the quirks of codecs to Import and Edit a Project.
That being said the underlying complexity of the app is very powerful.
Like all apps it's not perfect, the current version is 10.0.8 and I made the shift at 10.0.7 when it had matured to the extent I was personnaly happy to make the jump.

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion update but couldn't install it and now it's gone.

    Hi.
    I bought a Macbook Pro today, asked for the redeem code to download Mountain Lion update and received it OK. After the update downloaded, it said there was an error and the update disappeared without being installed. I can't download it again because the code has been used, help please, no idea what to do.
    Thanks!

    In the app store, click purchases at the top , and download there.
    If it's not visible, click "store" on the top bar and "view my account."  You can unhide it there.
    If you had a problem downloading, before you do either of the above, you may want to trash the contents of /var/folders/ (found by "go to folder" in finders "go" menu, top bar).

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Check if your computer is compatible with Snow Leopard > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it's supported, cal Apple to buy Snow Leopard > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade.

  • I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
    I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

    Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
    Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
    Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
    Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
    Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
    Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
    Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
    Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
    Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
    Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
    Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
    Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

  • Having problems updating (buying) OS X Mountain Lion. I believe I have whats needed,

    Hi, I am having problems when trying to buy OS X Mountain Lion. When trying to download it I get that my computer is not compatible.
    What can I do (have updated and now have OS X 10.6.8)?
    What is second best (if I cant get Mountain Lion)?

    The following macs are compatible with Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)

    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    If your computer doesn't meet these, Lion is the next step up from Snow Leopard.

  • Why I couldn't buy mac OS Mountain Lion on my credit card. It says some verification !?

    Why I couldn't buy mac OS mountain Lion on apps store?

    Just look at the card you are using. It will ask you to verify your method of payment and all of that but that again is just to verify its you downloading the OSX from the APP Store. I looked at my account and Apple will send you a reciept for the payment of the OSX from the APP Store ($32.08 with tax). They have only charged me once.
    Note: You have to wait for it to download completely, before you go to install it on another computer. This allows the purchase to register on the Apple Database. You will then be able to download on the other computer from the APP Store. It will prompt you for billing information which is just a verification method and then it will download to the computer. From my experience it did not charge me twice. My bank posts transactions rather quickly, so I was able to verify this when I did it on my second computer.

  • I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install?

    I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install on my 24" Imac?

    As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
    Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
    I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

    HI,
    If you have any sort of Back up such as a Time Machine one you could "restore" it to the Applications folder if you know which date it last worked.
    Other than that it is the Mountain Lion Restore process (Restart the Computer holding CMD and R)

  • I Just upgraded to mountain lion os x to 10.8.1 and I have a problem with restart my computer

    I Just upgraded to mountain lion os x to 10.8.1 and I have a problem with restart my computer.
    Now my computer is stuk on restart and wont turn on.
    Can somone help me with it?
    Thanks.

    If Mende 1's suggestion doesn't solve it you might find the following useful:
    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Hope this helps

  • Going from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion, how do I download the correct software versions from app store for apps like iPhoto etc.

    I have a somewhat older iMac and after installing Mavericks the computer slowed down and the harddrive died. I just got a new harddrive installed and they had trouble getting mavericks to work on it also so they installed Mountain Lion which I am pleased with. I have purchased apps from the app store such as iPhoto and Pages, etc. so I thought I would easily be able to download them for mountain lion. When I look for the apps to download on the app store it lists the versions I had with Mavericks. iPhoto for example says I can download it for free but in the compatibility sections it says it requires OS 10.9 or later. Where can I find and install versions of my software such as iPhoto and iLife that will work again with Mountain Lion?

    Try downloading an app. There are those here who believe that the MAS will determine that you have OS X Mt Lion and actually download the app that your kit needs.
