Just got my G5 - can't install my older version of Final Cut

Hi there - I have Final cut pro 2 and the version 3 upgrade. I'm trying to install on my G5 w/OSX but ran into a snag. First I found myself installing OS 9 from the OSX cd but now, when I try to start Final Cut Pro 2 (so I can register it and install my v.3 upgrade, I get the following message, "That application or control panel is not supported by Classic" (after Classic tries to launch).
Is it possible to get this installed on OSX?
Thx!
Bill

The installer you referred to is not an actual 9.2 OS ... it's merely Classic. FCP (and many other intense apps) won't run in Classic; they require a full OS to operate.
Have you tried installing the FCP 3 upgrade? It will ask for the FCP 2 serial number but as I recall, an older version doesn't have to be on the system.

  • I can't install an older version of flash player and the new one won't work.

    I've read on the boards everyone says to run the Adobe uninstaller prior to trying to install the older version and I did, but the download still says it can't install the older version because it isn't the current version. And the current version isn't running on my computer. All I have is a black screen. I need the adobe flash player to for work purposes and it is really hindering my ability to function at work without it. Can someone please provide some kind of help that may actually work? Because I've uninstalled and reinstalled this several times. I have tried adjusting settings...everything I have found on the boards so far.

    My experience (going back to a G5 iMac in 2005) is that you MUST install the lower version first in order to run two different versions on the same machine. I did it that way with CS and CS3, then CS3 and CS4, and later on my MacBook with CS4 and CS5. Now my Mini has CS5.5 and CS6, but I've always had to install the lower CS version first or the higher would keep the lower from installing.
    So you will probably have to remove CS4 and then reinstall them both in the proper order.
    Is there any particular reason you want or need both? In my case, I already had CS 3 and installed CS4 in addition, but later removed CS3 as I found CS4 was able to do everything CS3 did and then some. In fact I'm unaware of anything aside from some older filters that would run better in CS3 than CS4.

  • I need a new license of final cut. Can I buy Final Cut X and use that serial on an older version of Final Cut?

    I work in a small studio and we hired a new editor. We are staying on an older version of Final Cut Studio and need a new license/serial so we can run it on the new machine without having the 'protection error' over the network.
    We CANNOT upgrade all of the machines at this time - we are in the middle of a few projects and need to keep the workflow going smoothly.
    If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio can we use the license on our old product and wait to install the new one until we can upgrade all of the machines at the same time? we're still on studio 6.
    Thank you!

    >If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio
    The newest version of Final Cut Studio was FCS 3 (aka FCS 2009) which contained FCP 7.  It has been discontinued by Apple and recalled from retailers.  If you can still find a legitimate copy to purchase, you can only use the serial number for that version.  Serial numbers from other versions will not work.

  • Flash player v10.02.159 won't install - how can I install an older version?

    Hi all, any help will be appreciated.
    I've read all the relevent posts in this forum and tried the various suggestions. (used the Adobe uninstaller, used the various packages on the x64 help page; clean installs and uninstalls with RevoUninstaller Pro) shockwave for director is on Firefox, but would not even download on IE. (I don't use IE anyway, but...)
    I am running XP pro x64. I have Firefox v3.6.16 and Internet Explorer v 8 32 bit. I don't have the 64 bit installed.
    When I updated to v 10, it wouldn't install on either browser. The error message for the Flash player 10.2 installer reads:
    I am also running Chrome. I never updated the player, so it works on there (thank goodness!) (Nothing shows in the extensions folder)
    I tried to install an older package, flashplayer 9r280_win.exe and Brothersoftdownloader_for_Adobe_Flashplayer. - clean installs and uninstalls each time., also with no luck.
    Can someone tell me how to install an older version until the 64 bit version works for me? Or - if there is a fix that has not been posted yet - I'm game to try.
    Ta

    You could try if the MSI installer works better; download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    If it does not, archived FP versions can be found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

  • Can i install an older version of facebook

    My nephew has a iPod touch 2nd generation which has an iSO 4.2.1 and will never be able to upgrade the software beyond iSO 4.2.1. So, the new Facebook requires 4.3 software, obviously not going to happen. Is there a way to install an older version of Facebook so that he can still access Facebook without all the 'bells and whistles' of the 4.3 version?
    Thanks

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Can I install an older version of Reader on my iPad?

    I have 4 iPads that we installed Aobe reader on approx. 6 months ago.  We thought we had locked down all of them to not update, but missed one.  The one that updated now no longer matches the training materials we created for the process the iPads are used for in our environment.  Is it possible to install an older version of Adobe on that one ipad? 

    Apple doesn't support having earlier versions of apps in the App Store.

  • How can i instal an older version of an iphone app?

    Two apps (NYTimes and NPR Player) stopped working on one of my two iphone 3G's:  the app logo comes up, then it's back to the home screen.  One of these apps (NYTimes) was recently updated, so I figured I'd go back to an earlier version.  I was able to retrieve the .ipa file from the recycle bin, put it in the folder with the other apps, "hid" the recent version (after having de-installed it from the phone), but I can't seem to be able to fool iTunes into installing it on the phone.  I guess somewhere it knows what the latest version is, and won't accept any substitutes.
    My other 3G is identically configured but it can (still) run these two apps.  I know it's an old model, but it's still useful.  My "main" phones are two 4S's.
    Any thoughts or ideas?  Thanks,
    -- Bob

    You shouldn't need to.  Just update the iTunes application or download the newest version from here.

  • Can I install an older version of Lightroom?

    I bought the Creative Cloud deal but can't install Lightroom 5 because I have Windows Vista.  Is there a way to get Lightroom 4 with it instead?

    On Windows XP, when I switch to Lightroom 4.4, I do get a button which says Download Lightroom 4.4.
    However clicking that button gives the following message
    You are running an operating system that Lightroom no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements below for a full list of supported platforms.
    That message is correct for XP.
    But if you're running Vista, I would expect the download the start. Have you tried different browsers?

  • Can I install an older version of software?? Nokia...

    Hi,
    in my nokia n97 mini I do some update via Nokia Ovi Suit to version 30.0.004 and my digitalizer goes creazy. It doesn't work like before;/ I want to try install some older software but I don't know where I can find it and how to do this. Can someone help me??

    Hi szop44,
    Once you have updated your device, it is not possible to go back to the previous software. If you have any issues with your device, you can either reinstall the current software or visit a local Nokia care centre for further assistance. 
    Also keep in mind that we no longer produce the N97, so we won't release any updates for this device anymore. 
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I install an OLDER version of iTunes-- on a Mac?

    I upgraded to iTunes 9.1--- and now it won't connect to the iTunes store. How can I go BACK to an older version. This is terrible--- and Apple is NOT HELPING!
    It seems to be a common problem.
    Help!

    to downgrade to a previous iTunes version, you could try this user tip that seemed to have worked for some:
    +1) Quit iTunes.+
    +2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
    +3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
    +4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
    +6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
    +You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
    +And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.

  • How can I install an older version of FireFox to test our site?

    I am in QA for SimpleTuition. We get feedback about showing hidden fields on older versions of Firefox, but I cannot test the fix on the current version. I need to install Firefox 5.?

    For those that really need to test an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.

    '''Users should be on either 3.6.21 or 6.0.2'''
    Changed response because poster wanted Firefox 5 so response for 3.6.21 is not

  • Can't install an older version of Photoshop

    I'm trying to install my copy of PS CS3 on 10.6.8, Snow Leopard and it won't let me finish installation. Any ideas? The two bars are1/8th finished and then it says cannot install software. In the beginning it promts me to install the CS4 disc, then the CS3 disc, then CS4 and to CS3, over and over again.

  • HT4589 Why did final cut x lose some fonts?  how do I retreive and reinstall fonts from Final Cut X 10.0.7?  that that isn't possible can I reinstall the previous version of final cut x?

    Why did Final Cut X 10.0.8 lose fonts?  How do I get these fonts back (namely Chapparal Pro and Trajan Pro)?  If that is not possible, can someone tell me how to reinstall 10.0.7?  Thank you for your help.

    Great suggestion, but I don't have the Time Machine running to help solve that issue.  If I hadn't had a backup of those fonts on another computer, where would you have recommended that I go to get them? Is there a free Apple font bank online?  Thanks again.
    I have these fonts, and did not install them specifically, so I had thought they must have come standard with OS X.
    However, I did find an online list of the fonts that came with Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5098?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US; and likewise for Mountain Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5379
    These two fonts are NOT in the list. Googling further seems to show that these fonts are from Adobe, so they may have been installed together with some Adobe software.
