Installing FCP 4 Without A DVD Drive?

i have a 800mhz powermac g4 quicksilver, and i'm trying to install FCP 4. it doesn't have a DVD drive (the FCP 4 install disc is a DVD). i used my powerbook and target disc mode to install tiger on the powermac, and i'm wondering: can i do the same thing with FCP 4?

Migration Assistant
Install on PB, Migrate to QS
OR
Try using TDM backwards...
Turn on the PB, Boot QS while holdiong down "t" then boot OSX off the QS drive on the PB, install Final Cut.
OR
Create a Back-up file of the install disk (using Disk Utility) and install off that on the QS.

  • How to install Leopard without working DVD-drive?

    I have a MacBook Pro 3,1 (A1226) without a working DVD-drive and I would like to replace the existing 80Gb drive with a 320Gb drive. The hardware is no problem, I did that a few times already, but how to get the OS working?
    I have an TimeMachine backup on a USB-disk of the 10.5.8 (9L31a) installed system. I do not wish to upgrade because there is some old licensed software on it that does not work with a newer OS.
    I also have another MacBook Pro (with 10.7.5) I could hook up with an Ethernet-cable. Theoretically even with a Firewire cable I do not have right now. But when I buy extra things I should perhaps better get an external hard disk enclosure for the 320Gb?
    Please advice.

    Am gonna solve it in another way. I will just get a so-called "9.5 mm PATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure" and put the 320Gb drive in that one. Sorry to have distracted you.

    Perhaps you can copy it using a different computer, from the disk to a USB key.
    However, external DVD drives are cheap and in my view essential.

  • How do I install 10.4 onto a computer without a DVD drive?

    Can I put the DVD into a different Mac with a DVD drive, grab the software off the disk, transfer it to the mac without a DVD drive and install from there? Thanks,
    Chris

    I found a way to do it from an iPod, but I dont want to do that. I have an external Firewire HD that I use for our backup drive but I dont want to whipe that.. although, I use that external drive as my boot drive on the older machine, so I guess I can just hook that external HD to our new Mac, pop in the DVD, reboot the new machine and boot off the DVD and then upgrade the older OS on the firewire. What do you think?

  • How to install itunes without cd/dvd rom support?

    Hi,
    Everybody knows when you install iTunes to any windows device, you will have a problem with your dvdrw afterwards. Till day, every installation i made end up with losing my dvd-rom.
    There is 3 solution to this problem, but those solutions never worked for me and last time i used my company notebook without it's dvdrom for over a year.
    Now, i reinstall my notebook with Windows 8.1 Update 1 and i want to install iTunes for my music but i can' let iTunes do the same thing again.
    Is there anyway install iTunes without cd-dvd 3rd party/usb/firmware driver support?
    I search on net and i found this link but it's way too old

    QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
    Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

  • Installing Programs Without The Disk Drive Icon Loading On Desktop

    Hey,
    I am super anal and don't like any icons on my desktop and I am wondering how, when installing programs, you can install them without the disk drive icon being left on the desktop?
    Thanks.

    Oh, right, sorry, one thing I didn't mention. I DO like to have CDs and DVDs and such show up on the desktop when I (seldomly) have them in my computer.
    So, is there any other way? If I uncheck the CDs and DVDs line then this solves the disk drive icon but also gets rid of my CD icons.

  • How do I Install 10.4 on a G4 without a DVD drive

    I have a G5 (10.5.8) and an older G4 still running 9. I would like to install 10.4 on the G4. However, It has no DVD drive. The system installation discs I have are the are the " black" version. I tried to buy a DVD burner, but the closest I can come is a DVD R/W with a 10.3 system requirement.
    Some thoughts:
    - Can I put the install discs on my G5 and target the G4 through the ethernet connection I share with it as the installation destination. If so, how is this done.
    - Can I get a CD version of the installation discs ( hopefully without paying for it again)
    - Can I copy the discs to Cd on my G5 and would they be useable
    Anyone have any ideas
    Thanks

    Can I put the install discs on my G5 and target the G4 through the ethernet connection I share with it as the installation destination. If so, how is this done.
    Close, put the Install Disc in the G5, boot the G5 in to Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Boot the G4 with the Option key held down, see if the Install Disc in the other Mac shows up as a boot choice, as the G5 is now a big expensive Firewire Disk & DVD Drive.
    Can I get a CD version of the installation discs ( hopefully without paying for it again)
    Nope.
    Can I copy the discs to Cd on my G5 and would they be useable
    Nope.

  • Installing CS6 on a MAC Airbook without a DVD drive.

    My company purchased 14 copies of CS6 and I have received the software DVDs. However, I need to install a few of these copies on MAC Airbook laptops that do not have a DVD drive. I am not able to copy the contents to a server to install from there. Is there a way to install from the web and use the serial number I already paid for and received? Suggestions?

    Ms JacKAY wrote:
    I wouldn’t think that the trial version would work but I’ll give that a try.
    It works well since the Trial version code/features and the purchased version code/features are identical. The serial number is the only difference.
    Many non-Adobe customers people run the Trial for a while then purchase a serial number and activate the installed trial without any need to re-install.

  • Help! installing 10.4 without a DVD drive

    I hope someone can help me. I need to upgrade my system from 10.3.9 to 10.4 in order to run my new iPod classic. My eMac doesn't have a DVD drive and when I went to buy one it says I have to have 10.4 installed in order to run it My work computer (eMac) has 10.4 installed on it. can I hook up the two computers with a Firewire cable and copy the system folder over? I "got" a version of it on CD from a friend but it doesn't have a "boot drive" so the computer won't boot up from it. I'm getting very frustrated, have had my iPod for about a month now and haven't even been able to hook it up because of this.

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A and M9639Z/A . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray).

    I think that you are lost. This is the discussion area for the iBook G4.
    You probably want to post in the iMac CRT G3 discussion area.
    Is this a USB DVD drive or a FireWire DVD drive? The iMac can not boot OS X from a USB drive of any kind.
