Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
I hope this will work for you.

  • Help in installing Final Cut Studio 5.1 Academic

    Help! I had to uninstall old versions of Final Cut Studio.
    I now am trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 Academic. Installer rejects the serial number every time. I don't know what to do.
    It's a valid serial number; I have the packaging right here in front of me. It's old (purchased November 2006) but that shouldn't matter, right?
    Please help.

    Hello Brian,
    Thanks for the reply. I was able to read the disc on my Macbook Pro and I copied all of the folders on the install disc onto my flash drive. I plugged it into my iMac and it gave me the following error message: The alias "Install Final Cut Studio" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found. Delete Alias, Fix Alias, or OK. Deleting the alias just moves the install file to the trash bin. Fixing the Alias asks me to Choose the item that you want alias to "Install Final Cut Studio" to open.
    I could not figure out what to do after this. Any clues?
    Thanks again.

  • Trying to install Final Cut Studio on my Lion Notebook

    Hey guys,
    I bought a MacBook Pro with Lion on it but I can't seem to install Final Cut Studio 2 without Rosetta.  I have the Final Cut Studio 3 upgrade discs which are universal but I cant install FCS3 without first installing FCS2.  Anyone have any ideas?

    > Will I run into any issues if I install Final Cut Studio 3 to run in conjunction with Final Cut X?<
    That's been a running topic and I've found the posted discussions to be mutually exclusive. Maybe it depends on the hardware platform. Dunno. Might search the FCPX forum too.
    Please post back if you figure it out with your own experiences.

  • 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)

  • I am trying to install final cut studio on my computer. I get to where it asks me to insert audio disc 2 and it fails.

    I am trying to install final cut studio on my computer. I get to where it asks me to insert audio disc 2 and it fails.How do I continue to install?

    What I've done to get around the problem of quircky DVD readers is to create a disk image of each of the installation discs and store them on an external firewire drive. When I need to install/reinstall, I open the images and put them all on my desktop then launch the installer from disk 1. Since all the disks are available, the installation happens without any intervention from me and is done within 30-45 minutes. (your time may vary depending upon computer variables)

  • Installing final Cut Studio (2005) on an iMac

    I recently bought an iMac with the intent of doing some video editing. I was assured by various people (including the specialist in a local Mac reseller) that I could run the 2005 Final Cut Studio (which I already owned) on the new line of iMacs, but when I tried installing the software it told me I didn't have the required hardware.
    Have I just been given misinformation and now have to buy the new studio pack, or is this an issue that can be sorted with a download?

    It depends on the version number of your copy of Final Cut Studio.
    If memory serves me correctly, the version of Final Cut Studio in 2005 was a non-universal binary, or PowerPC version, designed specifically for pre-Intel Macs. This version put Final Cut Pro at version 5.0 and went up to version 5.0.4.
    The Universal Binary version was a paid upgrade and wasn't released until early 2006. At the time, it was a very good deal, however, after multiple extensions, that upgrade program was discontinued shortly before the release of Final Cut Studio 2 in 2007. The UB version allowed the installation of FCS on Intels and Non-Intels. This changed the version number to 5.1.
    EDIT: I've heard of people installing pre-UB versions on Intels and having them work, but it's not supported and not recommended.

  • I have installed Final Cut Studio 3 on my laptop. I want to sell it, how do I transfer ownership?

    I have installed Final Cut Studio 3 on my laptop. I want to sell it, how do I transfer ownership?

    Ownership of what? The laptop, Final Cut Studio, or both? If you mean FCS, either with the laptop or separately, you need to give the purchaser (this from the End User License) "all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, original media, printed materials and this License".  You don't need to transfer ownership of the laptop, per se, though if you have AppleCare on it you should transfer that coverage to the new owner of the laptop.

  • 7 Hours to Install Final Cut Studio 2??

    I just installed Final Cut studio 2 on my Brand New Mac Pro and it took 7 hours... I installed it on my other Mac Pro back in May and it maybe took maybe an hour. I was just going to ask and see if this was normal or if I should be concerned. I have also put a black magic card in the machine and run into some issues with that as well.
    Thanks for any thoughts you may have.

    Here's the trick you NEED to know.
    Once you know how to do this you will never again need to waste an entire evening inserting DVD's.
    1) Make disk images of all your DVD's using Disk Utility. Be sure to save them as DVD/CD Master in the Image Format dialogue box, with no compression added. Save all the disk images to an external drive if possible. Final Cut Pro users all have big external drives, but in a pinch this would work off an internal drive if you have the space.
    2) Mount all of the DVD copies on your desktop, all of them at one time. This assumes you have ample memory, which if you are running Final Cut Pro you'd better have.
    3) Start the install. Select your options. Then watch the magic as your Mac loads the DVD copies on your desktop until the process is done. It's that easy.
    It takes a while to make the disk images, but once you have them saved to your external drive you can use them again when you get a new machine or need to reinstall for any reason. This works with Logic Studio as well as the Adobe suites- I've used this process for years. In the old days we used this process for floppies; works just as well with CD's and DVD's. Once you try it you will be dedicating an external drive to software installer disk images.
    Cool, or what?

  • Can't install Final Cut Studio

    I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.6 and am trying to install Final Cut Studio. When individually do Livetype or Motion it works. When I do the Final Cut disc I get this error message.
    "Your computer does not have the hardware required to run this software. See the Read Me for details."
    My computer should have necessary specifications with 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    What should I do?

    That could very well be a Pre-Intel version of FCS. It won't install properly on an Intel Mac.

  • Installing Final Cut Studio Now Safari doesn't show QT

    I just installed Final Cut Studio on my Macbook running 10.4.7 which installs version 7.1.2 of quicktime pro. But now Safari won't play any quicktime movies though my Firefox and Flock browsers will play QTmovies. I'd download and reinstall quicktime normally but Final Cut Studio doesn't give me a serial number for QTPro so I suspect that if I reinstall quicktime I'll wind up with no more quicktime pro or at the minimum I'd have to uninstall Final Cut Studio and reinstall to get QTPro and might be back in the same loop
    Anyone have any experience with this or think of a way around getting Safari to show quicktime movies?

    But now Safari won't play any quicktime movies though my Firefox and Flock browsers will play QTmovies.< </div>
    You might try the Quicktime forum here on apple.com. All I can tell you is that yours is the first post I can recall describing this particular issue with an installation of FCP.
    I'd download and reinstall quicktime normally but Final Cut Studio doesn't give me a serial number for QTPro so I suspect that if I reinstall quicktime I'll wind up with no more quicktime pro or at the minimum I'd have to uninstall Final Cut Studio and reinstall to get QTPro and might be back in the same loop< </div>
    Your Pro license is part of the FCP install now so it will be still be there, it's not associated with the QTPlayer any longer.
    You can force a reload of earlier versions of QT by going to your Library and searching for receipts for QT updates. Delete them and Software Update will pull down a new update file for you.
    Umm, on second thought, wait for a few more hours till some other folks respond to your inquiry.

  • Cannot install Final Cut Studio on new Mac Pro

    When I go to install Final Cut Studio on my new Mac Pro, it tells me that "Final Cut Studio Installer requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
    I have the ATI 5870 and, just a wild guess here, I'm betting it does support Quartz Extreme.
    A software update doesn't help me here because I cannot get the software installed the first place to be able to update it. What should I do?

    FCS 1...Final Cut Pro 5.0? Won't work on an Intel. PowerPC only. You need at least 5.1...which wasn't a free upgrade, so updating won't work. You need FCP 5.1, FCP 6 or the most recent FCP 7. Those are the only versions that will work on the newer macs.

  • Unable to install Final Cut Studio 2.0

    I had the previous version of FInal Cut Studio and just purchased Final Cut Studio 2. I chose to uninstall Final Cut Studio first by dragging all the studio programs to the Trash figuring I didn't want to chance having two versions of Final Cut Studio on my computer.
    I then went in to install Final Cut Studio 2. It allowed me to install the items such as Motion Content, LiveType, Audio Content, Studio Pro, etc. The option for selecting Final Cut Pro was greyed out and said skip. I don't know why but it's like it already thought it was on there and would just upgrade it. I tried it several times but always had this same set of options.
    I went on then and did an install of Final Cut Studio hoping that when it came to installing it would actually work right. Well it installed all the supporting programs but not Final Cut Pro. How can I properly install the whole suite?

    The FinalCut Suite 5 I'm running is misbehaving so before I install the new FinalCut Pro 6 Suite, I'd like to uninstall all of FCP Suite components and _all of their settings and customizations_. How do I make sure the new install is _absolutely clean and nothing from the previous installation effects it?_
    Thanks,
    Uri
