Re-Install FCS 3

Question. The first time I installed my upgrade of FCS 3, I didn't include the content. I changed my mind and decide to go ahead and put it on all on my external HD, so I popped in the install disc. I thought the install would just skip the files that were already installed and go straight to the content discs, but it seems to have installed 2 GB of data on my main HD before moving on to the content (which I directed to my external HD). Does the installer duplicate the program files already on the main HD? Or by clicking on the content this time, some of that--which I cannot direct to folders of my choice--was added?

Irritatingly, the installer reinstalls all the apps, even if you just want the content. t shouldn't duplicate the existing app files, just overwrite them, so no net use of disk space there. But some of the content can't be redirected, so you do lose some space to that.

How can install FCS 2 on a MacBook Pro??

I'm trying to install FCS 2 on my MacBook Pro, and the system prompted me: "powerpc is not supported".
My MacBook Pro is:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50d)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Somebody has a solution for this matter?
Thanx a lot!

Install "Rosetta" from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD first.
There are already several threads here about this.

How can you install FCS 3 on a computer that already has FCPX?

Ok so, I wiped my computer to install Lion, and then installed FCP X. I now want to install Final Cut Studio 3, but it won't let me install Final Cut, Motion, or Compressor (the other apps install fine). Presumably this is because I have downloaded the new versions of those respective apps from the app store.
I know you can install FCP X on a computer with FCS3 on it (and still be able to use both versions of FCP) but can you do the opposite? If so I haven't found out how (short of installing on a different disk/partition of course). I tried moving FCPX out of the applications folder (in hopes that it was as simple as the installer checks the apps folder first for another copy of Final Cut) but that simply moved an alias and as far as I can tell, FCPX cannot be moved out of the applications folder.
Anyone have any ideas or experienced something similar?
Thanks!

Hey Brad thanks, but the link you provided is the opposite of what I need. That link is for if you want to install FCPX on a system with FCS 3 already on it. I have FCP X already installed and need to install FCS 3 on the same drive.
I cannot move the FCPX, Motion 5, or Compressor 4 applications to a new folder, because when I do it only moves an alias over for some reason (not the actual application).
@Ronnie yes I know I can install another copy of OSX on another drive/partition and install FCS 3 on that, but I am trying to not have to do that. Clearly FCPX and FCS 3 can exist on the same partition if you install FCS 3 first, so why can't I do it if I already have FCPX installed? Seems silly. I also do not want to have to reboot each time I want to go into FCS3, not to mention all of the disk space I would lose by installing the OS on one of my other internal drive (which currently are all filled with Media drives, so I would have to repartition a sizable chunk of one of them just for FC Studio).

Installing FCS Academic

I am about to install FCS academic. I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. I understand I may install my one copy into both.
Does it matter which one I do first?

as far as i know (i have academic also) your serial number is all you use to install, and the registration will allow two installations to be registered under your serial number. so you can install them in any order and it doesn't matter.

Volume Issue after installing FCS 2

Hi I recently got Final Cut Studio 2, I previously had Final Cut Studio 1. I have two hdd in my PPC G5 tower and I wanted to install Final Cut Studio 2 on my secondary drive (which is running Tiger), b/c I was working on a project in FCP 5 on my primary HDD (running Leopard). All the programs worked on the secondary drive but when I restarted and booted up the primary drive I tried opening the programs from that HDD while running Leopard and all the programs won't launch. I really can't afford to install FCS 2 on that drive B/C I do not want to replace FCP 5 at the moment. Any suggestions on why this is happening?

YOu need to run the applications from the drive they are installed on. If you installed FCS 2 on the TIGER drive, then you need to be booted from TIGER in order for it to work.

Issues installing FCS 2

I installed FCS 2 upgrade on my MBP and all went fine. Things work exactly as they should but when I went to install on my Power Mac G5, it installs fine but doesn't hold the information. I upgraded from FCP 5 to FCS 2 with the same serial numbers. It takes the SN off of the sheet from the FCS 2 box and opens the program but won't store it. Any ideas?

Are both computers connected to the same LAN and running (or attempting to run) FCP at the same time?
This might be the cause of your problem. While the license permits use on one desktop and one laptop owned by you, they may not be used simultaneously. If as above, both are on the same network there will be a serial number conflict.

Just got a MBP 15" 2Ghz Intel Core I7, 4GB memory, LION 10.7.1 and I want to install FCS it's says that is not compatible ? any suggestions?

Cannot install FCS 1 on new iMac

I just purchased a new quad core 27" iMac, but when I go to install FCS 1 (which is what i have for this serial number) it says that i "do not have the right hardware" to run it.
Im guessing because this is a new computer and FCS is old.
1. So question one, is there a way to still get this to install?
2. If not, I have a version of FCS 2 only on a separate serial number and it is installed on my MBP. If I install the same serial number copy on two computers on the same network will it allow both to run?
Thanks

Final Cut Studio 1 was released at NAB2005 and was NOT a universal binary app.
It is only compatible with PPC, not an Intel Macs, such as your new iMac.
The first UB FCS was released about year later is a $49.95 cross grade
Luckily, you can upgrade to FCS3 for about $250.00 if you shop.

Where are installed FCS content files?

Okay, here is a really basic one for someone...
I installed FCS on an old machine, and left the content files on an external drive.
I installed the new FCS and I believe (if I read the instructions correctly) that new content files were stored on my internal drive by default. I don't think I selected a different location during the process.
My question is, where are all of the content files? I deleted the ones on the external drive. Just wanted to figure out if I had correctly installed the new ones... Thanks!

Installing FCS 3 (upgrade) on new MBP with Mountain Lion

Hi:
I just bought a new MBP with Mountain Lion installed. I have FCS3 upgrade, which I have now on my Mac Pro tower. I originally bought FCP version 1 back in 2000, so I've had it for quite some time.
When I insert the FCS install DVD into the MBP, the disc spins up and then spins down.... and nothing happens. Nothing opens, no dialogue box, not sign of any activity.
What am I missing here?

Open the finder window and click on the DVD to open it up. Make sure you have the first DVD disk...
I have FCS 3 (FCP 7) running in ML with no problems. I did a clean install of ML first... and installed the FCS 3 upgrade after that... But, make sure you install QuickTime 7 before you install FCS 3... FCS 3 with turn QuickTime 7 into the Pro version.

I installed LiveType from FCS 2 too...

Installing FCS on more than one computer

Guys, I bought my Final Cut Studio 3 years ago and installed it onto my Power Mac G5.
But now I'm considering getting a Mac Book Pro in addtion to my G5. Will I be able to install my current Final Cut Studio onto the MBP aswell?

You'll find the answer in detail in the FCS Software License Agreement that is packed in the FCS box along with the disks and manuals.
In short, you can have FCS installed on one desktop and one laptop as long as you are the owner of both.

Already installed fcs and now want move parts to separate harddisk

hello. i have final cut studio already installed on my macbook pro. and now i want to free up some space on my harddisk. i know it is possible to move audiocontent to a separate harddisk. (and maybe other parts too?) but how do i do it (after fcs already installed)? is there some tutorial or explanation out there?
pls help
thanx
teupaksa

You can move your FCS content to other drives very simply, below is an example for LiveType:
The LiveType library lives here: Hard Drive/Library/Application Support.
Copy the LiveType folder to your external drive and verify that is has copied correctly. (use "Get Info to compare)
Delete the original folder.
On the external, make an alias of the LiveType folder and drag that back to Hard Drive/Library/Application Support.
Delete the alias on your external.
Content for Motion is found in: Users/Shared.
Content for Soundtrack Pro is found in: Hard Drive/Library/Audio/Apple Loops.
Content for DVD Studio Pro is found in: Hard Drive/Library/Application Support.
The above procedure can be used for those too.

Unable to install FCS-2

Looking for some answers...
I'm attempting to do an upgrade from FCP 5.1 to FCS-2 (FCP-6). At the end of the first install disk, the process hangs-up at the point where it's almost complete -- I get the following messages:
"Running package scripts" & Install time remaining: About a minute".
The HD stops spinning, and I've let it sit at that point for over a hour; I made multiple attempts. I have to Force-close to get out of it. Naturally, FCP 5.1 is now inoperative.
I also ran System Update and repaired permissions several times.
System: MAC Pro 2 X 2.66G Dual Core Xeon, OS-X 10.6.3, 5 GB ram.
Anyone else seen this?
Thanks.

Well, I seem to be the only one that has had this issue, so I thought I'd post the outcome, to possibly help someone else down the road.
I wound up running the installers on each remaining disk (or set), and all went well. Fortunately, I hadn't used any special directories during my last FCS install, so the default directories used by the install routines worked out fine.
There was probably a glitch on the initial installer disk that prevented the routines for the remaining disks from working properly. All's well that ends well.

Is it posiible to install FCS 3 on a brand new iMac (with topped specs)? It will come with Mavericks and that might be an issue....

I'm wondering if it is even possible to install the FCS 3 on brand new out-of-the-box Mavericks OS.... I need FCP 7 for my work. I allready installed FInal Cut Studio 3 on my Mavericks MacBook Air, but that OS was an updated one, from the previos version. It works greate (rendering is a nightmare though :-)).
The thing is that i have read meny post about People unable to Install Finac Cut Studio 3 on a brand new - not updated - Mavericks....
Will i I be able to install Final Cut Studio 3 on a brand new iMac with Mavericks out-of-the-box?

Yes,
I have friends who have FCS 2009 (aka FCS 3) running on 10.9 machines from fresh installs.
Be aware that if you use a third party output device (Kona, Decklink, MXO, etc) you must have the updated drivers as well.
One friend had such issues with his Blackmagic Intensity card in a MacPro that he went back to an earlier OSX to find stability.
