Problem installing Final Cut Studio 2 on MacBook Pro

I'm trying to install Final Cut Studio 2 on a MacBook Pro / Snow Leopard but when it comes to choosing install options Final Cut Pro is greyed out and just says skip.
I've done some research and found people with the same problem but none of the fixes I've seen have worked. I also have Logic Pro installed - which I installed first - which seems to be causing the problem. I've tried removing Logic but am still seeing the same problem.
Besides a clean install does anyone have any suggestions?

Read this article on how to install final cut pro after logic studio.

  • Problems installing Final Cut Studio on my new Macbook Pro

    I just got my new 17 inch Macbook Pro, and am trying to install Final Cut Studio 3.  It installed just fine, and accepted the serial number.  The problem is that every time I open the application, I have to reenter the serial number.  Once I do that, it runs fine, but the next time, I have to reenter the info again.  Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

    do some searching here.  I remember other people having this problem.  You might also try repairing permissions on your startup drive, deleting your fcp preferences

  • Final cut studio and macbook pro

    hi i have final cut studio 2 currently installed on my imac, and it kinda slows my general use of the computer
    i bought a new macbook pro (the new one with aluminum casing), but its only the base, and i have not upgraded it in any way, so it is as it comes
    and basically i was wondering, if i installed the entire final cut studio 2 (and aperture), how would it affect the general speed of the machine when doing other general tasks not FCS related:
    a) while FCS is running
    and b) while it is not running
    i also want to run games off of my MBP so i really dont want to compromise speed

    It needs to be filled with RAM, and when running Pro Apps, in the faster graphics processor mode. Mail, etc. will likely run fine along side them. I'd not play games when rendering though.
    When they don't run, they don't affect anything but disk space 60 gigs for it all including Templates... RAM is the key to running multiple apps on any given Mac.
    Nice Mac too. I just saw one the other day for the first time. I love that new trackpad the most. It's likely a lot faster than my 2.3 laptop, and I can run all the apps at the same time no problem with it. But ya need to fill up the RAM. I like that it's so green.

  • Trying to install final cut on my macbook pro. HELP!!!!!!

    hello
    i have a macbook pro. i am trying to install final cut. when i put the disc in and follow the prompts, it tells me that my computer no longer supports this power pc application. if i download os x mountain lion, will i be able to install final cut on my laptop? i think the problem has something to do with something called rosetta. but im not totally sure. does mountain lion have anything to do with rosetta?

    What version of Final Cut do you have?
    There are versions that are Intel, but the installer is a PowerPC app. I have Final Cut Express 3.x and it is working on Lion and ML. If you have a working version of Final Cut on a Mac with Snow Leopard, you can manually copy all necessary files from there to your new Mac - that is how I got it to work (my installer is PPC also). Following are the instructions that I followed (although they are for deletion, it does not matter - it gives all the locations, so I just copied the files to an external and put them in the exact same spots on the new iMac):

  • Final Cut Studio on MacBook Pro

    Will all Final Cut Studio 2 programs and features run efficiently on a new MacBook Pro 13"? If not, what MacBook Pro would be the cheapest to run it on?

    Greetings,
    I just upgraded to a new 3.06 GHz 17 inch MacBookPro with 4 GB of RAM from the previous generation 17 inch MacBookPro with a 2.33 GHz processor. I have noticed a tremendous increase in performance and ability to render and export with ease and alacrity.
    Having said that, my general question is: Does anyone have any general advice for hardware/ video setup configurations? I am very well versed with iMovie (ha!), and now I am seriously trying to graduate to Final Cut Studio. I have made a few clips and played around with various transitions, filters, etc, but does anyone have advice for what settings I should be using?
    Oh yeah, I have a Sony AVCHD Camcorder (HDR-CX7)... I am not a fan of the CMOS chip, but nonetheless, it is what I have at the moment.
    Any feedback will be appreciated.
    Cheers.

  • Problem Installing Final Cut Studio

    I am trying to load Final Cut Studio on my Mac Pro Tower and it told me that i need to have an Intel processor. How do I fix this problem?

    Understand that running the final cut apps on a g5 is not supported. The PPC architecture of the G5 is quite different than that of an intel machine.

  • Problem Installing Final Cut Studio Upgrade

    I recently purchased the Final Cut Studio Upgrade. When I went to input my SN for FCP 6 to install the upgrade, it rejects it as invalid. Have FCP 6 on my computer operating just fine. what gives?

    Check to make sure your current FCP install (FCP 6) isn't an academic or Not-For-Resale version; neither is eligible for upgrade.
    If you have a legitimate retail version of FCP 6, make sure you are entering the exact serial number as found on the two stickers affixed to the front of the booklet titled "Installing Your Software" that came packaged with FCP 6.
    Be careful to enter a 0 (zero) instead of an uppercase O and a 1 (one) instead of a lowercase l (L) or vice versa. The serial number should be 1 letter - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 numbers - 3 letters - 3 letters - 1 letter with 3 numbers

  • 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)

  • Need Help Installing Final Cut Studio Version 2.0.1 on Macbook Pro

    I am trying to install an old version of Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Studio Version 2.0.1) on my macbook pro (OS X Mountain Lion). When I tried to install it, it said, "power pc applications not supported on this computer". I was told to "uninstall" OS X on my computer, install Final Cut Studio, and reinstall OS X Mountain Lion again. Is this true? If so, how do I do this?

    There is a "bug" in the installer application of Final Cut Studio Pro 2 that will fail to work in Lion or Mt. Lion; it will work successfully in Snow Leopard and a subsequent upgrade to Lion or Mt. Lion after the successful installation of FCSP2 will continue to work.
    Once Mt. Lion is installed you can use one of these two methods to install FCSP2:
    1)  Pacifist
    2)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:

  • I have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

    i have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

    FCE was discontinued nearly 3 years ago and is no longer supported.
    I don't know whether it's possible to install it on Mavericks and if you do it may not perform properly.
    Final Cut pro X and iMovie are the only Apple apps that are supported.

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.
