Need to install fcp studio 2 on my new second generation i7 iMac

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

There are some possible solutions in this thread.

  • Do I need to uninstall FCP before installing FCP Studio 2?

    Hi all, I have Final Cut Pro Studio, FCP 5.1.4, Academic version, and recently got Final Cut Studio 2, and just wanted to check to see if I needed to completely reinstall FCP, or would just installing FCP Studio 2, do the trick?
    Thanks

    I'm still trying to figure out my plan of attack for installing FCS2 when it arrives today.
    Randy, do you at least delete the apps before installation, or do you just put the DVDs in and go?
    Most folks around here preach the complete reinstall of the OS and then installing FCS2...you don't agree?
    Just trying to get all opinions here...you are cleared of any blame when/if something goes wrong!

  • Problem Installing FCP Studio 2 on SL 10.6.2

    Hello All
    when trying to install an original FCP Studio 2,
    the installation gets stuck towards the end. (around 95% of the first general installation disk).
    this has happened 3 times.
    After rebooting, the programs seems to be in the application folder.
    but they are missing many files and meterial.
    ( because i did'nt get a chanse to go through the other Content disks... )
    did anyone had a problem installing FCP Studio 2 on SL ?

    Here's a way to work around the possiblitily of a damaged disk or an intermittent dvd reader.
    Insert your FCS install disk, make a disk image of it (using Disk Utility) and leave the image on the Desktop. Eject the FCS install disk, and create a disk image for each of the FCS disks.
    Now, with all the images on the desktop, double click on the install disk image and start the installation process. It should take less than an hour to install EVERYTHING.
    Once the installation is complete, copy the disk images to a safe place. You'll have them available if you ever need to reinstall FCS.
    good luck,

  • I need to install iWork 9 on my new mac that has Pages 5.2 that will not open my older Pages docs. How do I ensure that the 9 will open them instead of the 5.2

    I need to install iWork 9 on my new iMac that currently has Pages 5.2 which will not open my older Pages docs. I do not want the 5.2 to interfere with the opening of my docs in the 9. How do I ensure this without removing the 5.2 (that might improve with age)? If I rename the 5.2 for now, will that work? Thank you for any assistance.

    Just install iWork '09 and make sure you update it to the latest v4.3:

    You can run both Pages '09 and Pages 5.2 but will need to right click on your files to open them with the right version, because all Pages files have the same file extension: .pages.

  • Need Help Installing an OS on a new Hard Drive

    H, I just installed a new Hard Drive on my G4. My problem is I cannot find the original G4 install discs.
    I do have OSX Panther discs which I bought later. Can I use these to install a new OS?
    How would I do this as the new Hard Drive is brand new and probably not formatted? Do I power up the mac and load the Panther install disc 1 or is this not the correct procedure?
    Also I have an external LaCie CD drive because the one in the mac doesn't work. Will the external LaCie CD drive be recognized when I put the OSX Panther discs in it to install an OS on my new Hard Drive?
    Sorry for so many questions but I don't want to mess this up.
    Thanks

    Thanks for replying Thomas. Well my G4 Hard Drive was shot so I took it out and installed a new one so I have to reinstall everything (new OS & all applications). I tried to use Super Duper to Clone the HD but the HD was too far gone, so now I need to install an OS on the new Hard Drive.
    I can't find my original G4 install cd's. I do have Panther OS discs and an iLife disc I bought awhile back. Can I use these instead of the original G4 install disc?
    Here's the process to install a new OS as I understand it. Please correct me if I am wrong or am missing a step.
    1) Put the first Panther install disc in the cd tray.
    2) Power up the G4 while holding down the "C" key
    3) Follow the installation instructions
    Thanks!

  • Install FCP studio to external drive

    I want to install FCP studio to my macbook pro and install all supporting media to an external drive so i don't waste space. has anybody done that.
    thanks
    macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    As Jerry notes, templates can be installed on a non-system disk.
    Pay close attention during the install process when you are given Options. A number of people have clicked through those moments without paying much attention and placed all there support files on the system disk - much to their dismay.
    good luck.

  • Installing FCP Studio Uninstall Express HD 3.5?

    I just bought FCP studio(Academic Version), but before I install it should I uninstall Express(version above.) ? Live Type ? Soundtrack? I was planning on using Express on another machine so would like to have these programs on that since I paid for both.
    MacProG5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You do not need FCE HD 3.5 before you install FCS. The installation for FCS will be shorter because LifeType (including livetime fonts (about 6GB) don't need to install. You can use both versions on one machine. However when you install FCE HD on another machine you may not use the program (FCE HD) the same time. Look in the legal information.

  • Need to install FCP 5 on old computer - lost password

    Hello all.
    I want to install an old copy of FCP Studio 5 I have on an older Mac Mini (so my 10 year old daughter can learn the basics).
    I have no idea where the serial number is - does anyone know a workaround so that I can install without one - or get a replacement?
    Thanks
    Adrian S

    There is no workaround...no legal ones anyway, and we cannot talk about those on the official Apple site.  You can try to call Apple and see if they have anything for you...which would really only work if you registered your copy. But even then...FCP 5...that's ancient in Apple years. They stop support once the new version is announced! 
    Serial number is on the paperwork that came with the software...locate that, and you'll have it.

  • Need help installing Ubuntu Studio on my PPC G5 Powermac

    I currently have a Powermac g5 PPC G5 DP 2.3. I have 10.5.8 running fine. I want to set a new partition and want to install Ubuntu Studio as my great love is recording and I'm dying to run Ubuntu as a new toy! What's the BEST build of Ubuntu Studio that will run on a PPC chip? How do I install it - will it boot from the DVD or CD? Also will it give me a dual-boot menu to choose what OS I want to use? Any help would be great as I'm a novice to Linux although I tried out a live CD on my Windows 7 laptop and was liking the new "drug"
    What partitioning software will I need (hopefully to repartition on the fly) and what build of Ubuntu Studio works with a PPC and maybe some instructions is what I'm needing... HELP!
    I do use Ardour and Mixbus on my Mac and actually enjoy it. OS X RULZ but I want to experiment with Ubuntu.

    Hi Pat, it looks like it's Intel only...
    Supported platforms
    IA-32, x86-64

    No idea if the original Ubuntu Studio 8.04 was ever ported to PPC.

  • My hd has failed and i need to install an ox on a new drive, where can i download it from?

    I need to download a ox onto a new HD as my old HD has failed

    If you still have the original install DVD that came with your MacBook use it to format and reinstall the operating system and applications. If you do not, you may be able to obtain it by calling Apple. Give them your serial number and be sure you ask for the original disks that came with it. You do NOT want a generic retail installer.
    If you have upgraded the OS on your MacBook since then, you will also need to repeat the process for that.
    Of course a better course of action would be to restore your new hard drive from a backup that you made previously. Does this exist?
    Best of luck.
