Installing Final Cut Studio to disk other than the startup disk?

Is it posable? if so, how. My startup disk is only 20GB and I have an 80GB in the case too, but no tiger install disk. It takes 30GB to do a full install.

The applications need to reside in the default location - on the startup disk. However, all the support files can be placed in other locations.
The apps = 5GB or so. It is all the support files that take up the space.
good luck.

  • Problens with installing Final Cut Studio

    When I am trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 I get the error message
    Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough priviledges.
    I have been through andd made sure that I have admin rights
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    don't know if this will help, but the first thing i would do is use the disk utility to "repair permissions" on your hard drive.

    Hi The Bunnell Farm-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
    Legally you must have only one copy installed at any one time on any one machine. By definition, you would need a second purchased copy in order to run it legally on the 2nd Mac.

  • 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 2 because "PowerPC applications are no longer supported"

    Bought a brand new 15" MacBookPro OS X 10.7 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7 and tried to install Final Cut Studio 2. Got the error message "You can't open the application FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Oh no, does this mean I have to spend more money!???

    I'd like to provide an update on this situation in case anyone is in the same boat I am.
    I went to the Apple store today. I asked if I could downgrade my operating system. They said no, since it came pre-installed with Lion. I asked if Final Cut Studio 3 was compatible with Lion. They said yes, for the most part. They said there was an issue exporting video in 1080p.
    Of course, conveniently Apple is no longer selling FCS3 and the ones on Ebay I saw have gone up to more than $650 a copy. I am out $400 for stupidly buying FCS2 a few months ago, which is now useless to me. I told the Apple guy that I'm not buying FCS X until they work out all the kinks. This leaves me with this laptop that I bought for video editing with no editing software to use.
    I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually considering getting Premiere Pro now for Apple, which is supported in Lion and is running a deal for 50% off. (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os) If Apple doesn't start selling FCS 3 again, they are really not giving me any choice but to switch!

  • Help with installing Final Cut Studio package

    I have a copy of Final Cut Studio 2.0.1. I would like to know if there is a way to create an image file to combine all disks into 1 file. This would help in installing, since I only have one set of disks. I don't want to risk ruining any of the disks, since I have a lab of 30 computers to install Final Cut Studio 2 on.
    I have the following disks:
    Final Cut Studio Install
    Audio Content 1
    Audio Content 2
    Audio Content 3
    Motion Content
    LiveType Media 1
    LiveType Media 2
    DVD Studio Pro Content
    Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Shane, I have all 8 FCP disks saved as a dmg file. I am currently storing these in a share on our NEW Apple XSERVE. I have tried mounting all of the 8 dmg files to the desktop of the iMac, that I'm wanting to install on. But this takes an unusally long time, I cancelled it after a couple days of it trying to mount the images to the desktop.
    I'm very green to using Apples, just something that has been dropped in my lap.
    Is there a way that I can mount these images in the folder on the Xserve? of is using a portable HDD the only way to do it.

  • What do I need to do to install Final Cut Studio version 2 on a new Mac Book Pro

    What do I need to do to install Final Cut Studio version 2 on a new Mac Book Pro that does not support power PC anymore

    You need to install Rosetta from a OSX 10.6 install disk.
    FCS2 is intel native, it is only the installer that requires PPC support.

  • 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)

  • Kernel Panic(s) after installing Final Cut Studio

    So I've been using this Mac Pro for 10+ months.
    10G Ram, 3 internal hard drives, OSX 10.5.8.
    Been running Logic Pro and Aperture and other small apps with zero problems.
    Recently, the only change to my computer is I installed Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio Upgrade.
    Past 3 days I've gotten 2 kernel panics. (Report said something about FBD Memory?)
    (1st one, I was using Mpeg Streamclip to transcode footage.
    2nd one, I was only running Safari.)
    I repaired disk permissions, used diskwarrior, did the hardware diagnostic test thing, nothing came up.
    I asked Apple Genius but they just said reduce everything to 'base config' and troubleshoot from there.
    I wanna ask you guys, do you know of any obvious existing conflicts between the software that might be going on? Am I missing something obvious?

    Have a look at System Profiler and if you have ECC errrors on the third slot (after rendering some time), you might have the same problem like me and it's not solved yet. But you can take out the third dimm or run smcFanControl and raise the speed a little. Both helps in my case as a workaround.

  • Why Can't I Install Final Cut Studio?

    I have a MacBook Pro which is about 12 months old. It has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and 8G of RAM. I have been trying to install Final Cut Studio 5.1. Yeah I know that is an OLLLLLLLLLLLD version. Why I chose not to update is neither here nor there. I was about to update when Final Cut Pro X was realeaded and FCS vanished into the ether. I really only wanted DVD Pro but when that wouldn't install I went back to Square 1.
    The specificationa as stated are:- "These discs contain the files required to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 on either PPC or Intel based Mac computers."
    The error message that shows up on the screen when I click on the install package is:- "You can't open the application Final Cut Studio pro.mpkg because Power PC applucations are no longer supported."
    This is despite the stated specifications and the fact that there is a Universal Icon on the discs.
    I am also having a simillar but not the same problem with iLife '06 but i'll start another thread on that.
    I'm confused, thanks for your help in advance.

    Your problem is you are running Lion as your OS (10.7) and Lion does not support Rosetta which is required to run the INSTALLER of FCS 2. If you were running Snow Leopard, you would have been able to do the install.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.
