My Final Cut Studio Box disc package Icon disc will not load, kicked out by MAcBook...any advice...disc player works nothing wrong with it.

My Apple Mac Harddrive went for a real bust up about a month before my warenty expired...Apple repaired no problem...I had exstended warrenty...
but when the computer came back it was not the same...
I also did not have time untill now to start sorting through the mess, one of the things I am sorting.... is to get my Final Cut Studio Pro 7 up and running...
I bought the disk set (box) with the lap top, back when I first bought my MacBookPro, everything together ......I loaded the disks package onto the computer back then no problem and have had the disk in a cuboard since then.....
I tried to reload the package onto my computer but the first disc....the ICON disc just keeps getting kicked out....
without it I cannot load my Final Cut Package....
What should I do?

FWIW, I've had malfunctioning optical drives that could play video DVDs, but not read installation DVDs…or able to read install disks for Apple apps, but not third party apps.
the disc version (Final Cut Studio Pro7) that was sold as a box set with everything included (motion/color and so on) is not realy supported by the newer Apple's as you now have to buy Final Cut X Online, download and pay for everything seprately.
It's true that Apple stopped supporting Final Cut Studio applications, but I don't know any reason why they shouldn't install and function with newer OS versions and Macs (as long as a working DVD drive can be connected).

    My MBP will not lot start up. It chimes on but will not load up the OS. Any Ideas on how to reboot, btw i do not have the OS Disc.

    The System DVDs that originally came w/your MBP has the troubleshooting tools.  Suggest that you find them.
    Do you have any 3rd party utility DVDs?  If so, they may work.  DW would be your best choice.  Does wonders.
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Disc Labeling??

    Hello,
    Does Final Cut Studio 2 include any disc labeler software? If not, does anyone know what software I may use, or a free program that is available out there?
    Thank you.

    Does Final Cut Studio 2 include any disc labeler software?
    No.
    If not, does anyone know what software I may use....
    Is this for printed DVD labels?
    I use *CD Label Print* -it came with my Canon iP 4500 printer and prints directly onto the disks. Don't put paper labels on your disks -that's asking for trouble when they come off inside the player As Jim recommends, design it in Photoshop and import your artwork into the program.
    You might find something free or cheap on versiontracker.com

  • Hello.  Can I install a Final Cut Studio 3 Upgrade package using a serial number from an old Final Cut Studio 1 package?

    I would like to install Final Cut Studio 7 on my Macbook Pro (2012).
    I may be able to get an upgrade package, which will mean I need a previous version of Final Cut Studio to install it.  I have an old Macbook with Final Cut Studio 1 on it.  Could I use the serial number from that version of Final Cut Studio to activate the new upgrade on a new computer?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thank you Jim.

  • Final Cut Studio 2. Should I wait for 3? And which new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I'm in need of some advice. I have used Final Cut pro since it's early days having owned 1,3 and 4.5HD. I also used Motion 1 a fair bit. My video editing worked declined in the last 3 years so I didn't upgrade my software and computer as it wasn't necessary. BUT things are getting busy for me again and I have quite a few projects to complete in the next year and motion 1 and FCP 4.5HD just don't make the grade anymore (actually I love 4.5 but motion 1 was always buggy). the 17 isn't out of my budget but in terms of convenience I don't want to go that route again (I now have a 17inch PB from 2004). My questions...
    1. Should I wait for FCS 3? I heard it will be released this OCT. I don't want to have to pay 700bucks foor an upgrade to FCS3 only a few months after I get 2. Is 2 plenty good enough?
    2. Should I get the 15inch 2.66 with dedicated 9600/256mb or 2.8 with dedicated 9600/512 graphics card? I'm thinking the 2.8.
    apart from this point there isn't much difference between the 2 computers (along with L2 cache)

    1) There is no set release date for FCS 3 (sad but true) in fact there is no "official" information anywhere that confirms FCS3's existence ... whatever you've heard or read is pure speculation and basing purchasing decisions on such might be a tad risky. My advice would be that if you need FCS2's functionality right now then buy it now, especially if you are working commercially (ie you're going to get paid for this) ... but if you don't need it yet then common sense would be to bide your time.
    2) Despite your reservations, get the 17" MBP. There are no current 15" MBP's that are a good long term purchase suitable for professional editing work. How long do you expect to use this purchase? 1 or 2, maybe 3 years? or 5 years? Sooner or later you will want or need to connect a bigger, better, faster storage system to your laptop in order to keep up with your editing needs, especially as we hurtle towards affordable Digital Cinema solutions for consumers and pro's alike. NONE of the current 15" laptop lineup for Apple offers ANY suitable form of expansion facility. Sadly they have dropped their "Pro" appeal, at least with respect to Pro video editing needs.

  • HT201541 Final Cut 10.0.8 about 18 months will not open since I updated to Yosemite.

    I purchased Final Cut 10.0.8 about 18 months ago but now it will not open --- since I updated to Yosemite.  How do I update Final Cut so I can use it again?

    You download the update from the App Store using the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
    You should read up about the newer versions before you update as the application has changed substantially since then.

  • Final Cut Studio 3 installed - and in FCP and Motion, video comes out white

    My system meets all the requirements, I've got QT 7.6.4 (and it is pro registered). I did a fresh install of FCS3. When I load anything into an FCP project, the audio plays but video just comes out white (with the exception of an mpg I tried bringing in that did show properly). Also, in Motion, when I load a template, it shows drop zones but all of the graphics are not visible, even when going into "layers".

    The video is QT clips and FCP movie (QT exports) from previous work in older versions. It does play fine in QT, so that's not the problem. I also checked and indeed RGB is selected, so it's no an alpha problem.
    When I import an mpg, it shows fine in the Viewer. When I import a jpg picture into a new project, it shows as a multicoloured rough image. Video clips just show as white. If I drag that jpg down to the timeline, it shows as White in the Canvas.

  • Mozilla is my default internet browser. Mozilla won't load when I click the icon nor will it load when I click on any web link within an e-mail. What do I do??

    It won't load when I double click the icon on my desktop or when I try to open it from the space bar. When I do these things nothing happens. The only way I can get on the web is with Internet Explorer.

    Delete the shortcut on your desktop and then go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.
    In there, right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose ''Send To'' | ''Desktop (create shortcut)'' to create a new one.
    If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 installation

    Upon installing Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade my harddrive crashed. I thought I had more room than I actually did. I just got a new hard drive and I want to install final cut studio 2 again. Do I have to reinstall all of my final cut studio 1 discs and then do my upgrade discs or can I just install the upgrade discs?
    Also, I can't find my studio 1 discs and I've registered them, how do I replace them if I need to?

    I found my serial # through my email because I registered it. However, upon installing the upgrade discs its telling me that the # is not valid. My email reads my serial # without any dash symbols. Do I need to have dashes? If so where are the suppose to go?

  • Major meltdown - Can't seem to reinstall Final Cut Studio 6

    Hello All,
    My Final Cut stopped working. Specifically, it couldn't find the compressor application. I decided to "zero out" my MacBook Pro, and reinstall the operating system. I intended to then reinstall Final Cut Studio 6.
    All went well with the "zero out" and reinstallation of the OS Mac OS X (10.4.11). However, when I attempt to reinstall FCP 6, after the first audio content 1 disc, the system asks for the reinsertion of the Final Cut Studio Install disc. I then get a message that the installation failed, and please try again.
    Well, I've tried 5 times, and no success.
    Can someone advise where to from here. I'm dead in the water.
    Thank you.

    I was instructed to purchase the upgrade ($300), as it will only require my serial number, and I'm told my version will not be supported soon enough as the OS evolves.
    While Apple may not be supporting FCP 6 any more, FCP 6 should definitely still install on your OS. You also should be aware that FCP 7 is not supported on OS X 10.4 so if you do choose to upgrade, you will need to also buy Leopard or Snow Leopard.

  • Help with Installing Soundtrack 3 alongside Final Cut Studio 2

    Hi All,
    I am looking for advice on how to install Soundtrack Pro 3 which is part of my Logic Studio Upgrade. I have a Macbook Pro with Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio. I just bought the upgrade to Logic Studio (and not Final Cut) as I mainly do audio work and rarely video editing any more.
    The installation instructions say that Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5 have new components which are not compatible with my older Final Cut Studio 2 and will not be installed.
    Is there a way to install Soundtrack Pro 3 as a standalone application in another part of my computer, like under a different user or in some way where I can open it independently from the Final Cut Studio 2 program? Or is upgrading Final Cut Studio 2 to version 3 my only option?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas,

    It's easy... just boot from your OS CD, and choose erase and install from the optional installs button once booted. Run Software update a few times until there is no more to update... This will erase the hard drive and install a new OS on it.
    Install whatever.
    To boot from this drive, hold down the option key during a startup , and you can pick it from the dialog box that opens. To reboot just select the other drive in the startup disk pref in Apple System prefs.

  • Trying to install final cut studio 2 but disk unrecognisable

    Hey,
    I've recently had problems with compressor so I thought I would do a clean erase and install to reinstall compressor. Lo and behold I go to put my disk into my macbook's superdrive and installer refuses to kick in. It keeps seeing the disk as a blank disk and treats it as such. Would anyone know why this is so?
    The disk doesnt have any scratches on it and is usually kept in its sleeve in the final cut studio box that shipped with it.

    One possilbility is your optical drive. Try some other install disks from other software to see whether anyread issues surface. (I recently had to replace my drive that was displaying similar symptoms.) If you have a cleaning disk, you could also try that.
    Good luck.
