Selling My iMac G5 How Do I Deauthorize Final Cut Studio 2?

I'm selling my iMac G5 and planning on doing a clean instal of OS X. Before I do this, do I need to deauthorize Final Cut Studio 2 and if so how?

YOu don't. Just reformat the drive and you should be good to go.

How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support?

How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support? Its the latest one (3) btw. The one that has FCP 7
Any input is highly appreciated

It can be installed on (1) desktop and (1) laptop, and you cannot use them at the same time. The idea is that you use the application when you are in your office, and if you need to go on the road, you can use it there, while the one in the office is not in use.

Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
I hope this will work for you.

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)

If I clean install my Mac, how will I reinstall Final Cut Studio?

I'm experiencing a blue screen issue with my iMac 10.6 with Snow Leopard. And I'm resorting to doing a clean install. I'm thinking this will remove Final Cut Studio and it's applications, making me reinstall them on a fresh computer.
Will there be an issue reinstalling this license on the same computer? Because I can not go into the computer now to uninstall FCS. I've been sifting through the forums and Google and haven't found an answer.

>Will there be an issue reinstalling this license on the same computer?
No. It'll install fine. There is no way to un-license it from your machine, like Adobe and Avid require, because you don't license it. It's just installed.
Simply reinstall from the original disks and you will be fine.

How ca i download final cut studio

hi how can i download final cut studio

You can't. Not only is it discontinued...and has been for over a year. Apple never offered is as a download, only a physical box with DVDs. FCP-X is the first downloadable version.

How can I UNINSTALL Final Cut STUDIO?

I do not want it anymore! How can I Uninstalled??????????????
Thank you!

1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
5) Enter the command lsbom -s (that's a lower case L, not an upper case i)
lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.
7) Press Return to view the list
8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)
9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.
10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.

How do i install final cut studio 5.1 on lion?

please help
says does not support power pc
must be a way to install
no idea though

Actually, V5.1 will run under lion. The problem is the 5.1 Installer is a PowerPC app and is not supported by 10.7.
A number of clever people have come up with work arounds. The key element is to get Rosetta installed on your 10.7 disk so that you can run the PPC based installer.
Try doing a search for this process.
Good luck.

TS1110 How do I reinstall Final Cut Studio 7

1. I used FCS_Revover to uninstall Final Cut Studio 7, and I deleted all files in Library/Receipts.
2. Used my Final Cut Studio disc to re-install, entered my name, serial number,... upto "installation type" step, Final Cut Pro is set to "skip".
What else should I do to be able to reinstall Final Cut Pro 7?

1. Get the free "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com) and trash FCP's preferences.
2. Make sure all hard drives on your system have at least 15% of their total capacity as free space.
3. Make sure you've not set your OS drive as your Scratch Drive.
4. Run Disk Utility to repair all drives.
5. Run Disk Warrior if none of the above helps.
It's very rare that you need to re-install a Mac app to make it work right. Most problems like yours can be solved much more easily, and are due to issues a re-install won't help.

How can i remove final cut studio 7?

I would like to completely remove the installation of Final Cut Studio 7.0.3 from my start-up drive prior to upgrading the FCPX 10.0.3; what is the best practice to remove all of its apps prior to installing/upgrading via the App Store?

Thank you Shane,
Although I consider your BEST practice much like cutting off your head to get rid of the headache the Second best solution appears to have worked just as well.

How to uninstall extra Final Cut Studio apps?

I just purchased a MacBook Pro with a 160 GB hard drive, and installed all of Final Cut Studio on it. I knew the installation took up a lot of space, but sheesh, I'm only left with about 45 GB of space, certainly not enough for me to be comfortable! At any rate, I am now interested in removing Studio apps that I don't use as often to save hard drive space. Do I have to completely uninstall the entire suite, or can I selectively uninstall? What is the process?
Thanks!

Well, sheesh. Is Uncle Grump always supposed to be nice? Where's the fun in that?
Hard Drive>Library>application support>motion, livetype, soundtrack pro
Couple of ways to do this, I think. Trash the offending folders, then do a custom install,
Or just start again, paying close attention to the prompts.
