Installing FCP (V2/V3 on iMac G5)--Urgent!

Okay, I have some editing to accomplish (putting a reel together) and I'm in the process of upgrading everything... I would like to use FCP on a loaner G5 iMac while I wait for my QUAD to be delivered. I have FC Studio Cross-grade on the way that will solve all of the world's problems--right? Yet, I don't have any current FCP or FC Studio components.
I own FCP V2 and the V3 upgrade... I was using this painfully on my G3 Pismo years ago... I also have a B & W G3...
Any ideas? I see my options as follows:
a) Try to install FCP 3 on the G5--probably will not work--bad idea.
b) Use iMovie... not powerful enough--bad idea.
c) Get a temp. license from Apple for FCP 5??? Is that possible?
d) Install the old $h#t on the old G3...
e) Something you suggest?
Well, any thoughts?
Thanks,
Robert

a) Won't work. The upgrade to FCP 3 require that FCP 2 be installed, and since you don't have OS 9 running...you can't do this. Even in Classic mode I hear that installing FCP 2 doesn't work.
b) If it isn't powerful enough for you, it isn't. What kind of reel is this anyway? This should be fine for straight cuts and dissolves.
c) Not possible.
d) This is your best bet. In fact, this is your ONLY bet in my book. And FCP 3 works fine on the older machine.

I used to own mac book pro 17" and had fcp studio 2 on it. I decided to purchase imac 27" i7 second generation and tried to install fcp studio2 on it but I get the following error "you van't open the application FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"
I need help to get around this as i didn't like Final Cut Studio X

How to format my G5 and install FCP?? Plz help URGENT

Hi Everyone,
Since I installed FCP suite my compressor never worked, So I decided to format my mac and reinstall Tiger and FCP.
Can some one give me a quick steps on how to format my mac. Never done it before..
Thanx so Much

I know how it sounds but blieve me I tried everything. I gathered the process of reinstalling Tiger is not as bad. Just insert the DVD and follow instruction.< </div>
Umm, well, the Scorched Earth Method is drastic and cannot be undone. But,m yeah, it's easy.
By the way is there a prefrence on how to install FCP or just put cd's and follow wizard. eg. Is there a sqequence on what to install first.< </div>
Put them in and follow the instrucitons.
Thnx alot for ur reply David.< </div>
No problem, we just hope you don't get BAD advice here.
I hope compressor works after this < </div>
There is no reason at all to believe it will work after reinitializing your system. None at all. There's hop, but no rationality.

I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success. Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug) I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years. I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

TS2521 how to install final procut 7 in iMac

I want to install final procut7 to my iMAC, but they not go though. The massge show on is "powerpc applicstions no longer support"

Final Cut 7 will run on your iMac under Mountain Lion. Take another look and see if the version is 6 or below... FCP 6 or 5.1 will run on your iMac but the installer is an powerPC app and will not run under Mountain Lion. Ask in the Final Cut Studio forum on how to install FCP 6/5.1 on your iMac.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io?view=discussions
FCP 5.0 and below are powerPC apps and will not run in ML.

Problem installing FCP 6, Boris Caligraphy titling problem

Bought FCP 6, at Apple store... can't install -- its grayed out--- and checkbox. HELP! Please. Using iMac OS X 10.6.8 amd had to dispose of academic version of FCP7 along with 'little snitch' before trying to install FCP 6. This was shipping new in box, but is ALSO an academic version. Why would it matter ?Going on 7-hours today alone. Mike, Rat, anyone, Bueller, sos...

You bought FCP6 (Studio 2, I assume) from Apple? It has been superceded for like 4 years...
The last time I installed FCS2 on an iMac, I had a problem with the prokit version. Look here
ProKit 6.0.1 breaking Final Cut Studio - Digital Rebellion
for an explanation.
That may not be it, but it's a decent bet.
You need to mail me as I suggested, I could have been on this hours ago.

Re-installing FCP 6

I changed computers and tried to install FCP 6 from Time Machine but it didn't work. I tried copying FCP from Applications in old computer and installing that way but it didn't work either.

Pro apps must be installed from the original install discs (or a complete set of disc images). Migration or simply copying the app icon in the applications folder won't do it - there are too many related files that get installed into the OS system folders, not just the app itself.

Installed FCP has white screen in viewer

I have Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 in my newer model macbook pro (Version 10.9, 2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7, 8 GB ram). This computer went down, so to finish up a few projects while it was in the shop, I installed my Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 using the original discs into my imac (Version 10.9.1, 2.8 GHZ Intel, 4 GB RAM) and another Macbook pro (10.6.8, 2.3 GHz Intel Core 5, 4 GB ram). In both of these computers, FCP was properly installed, but it would not play video that I shot with my JVC HM-GY100 camera. After I capture the video, footage appears as just a white page in the viewer. With my normal Macbook Pro, the video is captured and it works with no problems, it can be seen in the viewer and does not have to be rendered. The footage has the following information. 1920 x 1080, mpeg-2 Video, Linear PCM, Time Code, Color Profile: HD (1-1-1). I have checked the viewer and canvas and they both display RGB. I got my MacBook Pro back from the shop. The same footage that would not play in the newly installed FCP on the other computers, loaded up perfectly in my MacBook Pro. Would love to use the Final Cut Pro on a desktop computer for a future backup. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to get FCP working in the imac? Thanks for any help.

You are probably viewing the alpha channel only.
At the top of the viewer are three buttons. The rightmost one controls the view settings. Select RGB and life should be good again.
cheers,

How many times can you install FCP?

Hello everyone, new to the forums here. I've searched throught he forums but couldnt find an answer to my question.
I'm in the middle of installing Final Cut Studio 2 (waiting to put in the next disc) when my buddy came over and mentioned that you could only install FCP one time and never install it again on any other computer. This worries me because in January I was going to get a new Mac Pro and un-install FC from my Macbook Pro so I could use it on the new computer. Is this possible? Or once I install this on my laptop is it permanent?
Thanks in advance for the help

Ok so you can install it on as many machines as you like but can only use (or have one activated through registering) one at a time. I know this is a touchy subject with piracy and all, but I thought it would just be rediculous if I installed this on my laptop, and 6 months down the line wanted to install it on another computer that I own.

I have an imac 20 in. The old hard drive crapped out on me. i put a new harddrive in and am now trying to install linux. But the imac doesnt recognise any keyboards

Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

Hi
I am planning to install window 7 on my imac ( version - ox mountaion loin - 10.8.2, purchase this year in may 2012) but before installing the same pls let me know what i would required means - is there required any special software or hardware.... or is there any different cd for mac windows.....
Thanks,
Punit Garg

You require Windows 7.
Windows 7 is the same and will run the same as it would on a Windows computer. All programs that run on a windows computer will run on your Windows once installed. You will need anti virus software for your Windows partition. Microsoft Security Essentials is free and it works well.
Read the help files before installing http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/.

I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete. What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.

You unzip and put the .keylayout files in /Library/Keyboard Layouts and then logout/login and then check their box in system preferences/language & text/input sources and then select them in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
