Unable to install FCS2 on a new mac that has better spec's than min. req,

I got 2 new MacPro's with 2x 3.2Ghz Quads, 16gigs RAM, Nvidia 8800GT's, Snow Leapord fully updated, Each has the OS on VelociRaptor Drives and a extra 3TB of space......
My problem is when I try and install Final Cut Studio 2 on them...It says
I dont have the "Hardware" to install the app. Last I checked the above spec's
were better than the minimal requirements.
So I am wondering if anyone else has this issue and what they did to work around this. Do I need to download a patch or a hotfix ?

They install on as many as ya want...ya just cant run it at the same time from 2 machines. So I am fully aware of those issues. We have 5 copies of FCS we work from. I am simply transfering software to a new machine and giving the slower computer to a coworker who is part-time (plus she doesnt use FCS so it gets deleted from old one).
Per the point when it "errors"....it's in the begining when the install software checks the hardware. The check comes back as "not having the hardware to run FCS".
It's really odd and I cant figure it out.

  • 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.

  • I have a bunch of files in pages '08 and have no way to access them on my new mac that has pages '11

    Does anyone know how to access files on an external hard drive from an old computer? I have all my documents on an old hard drive and want to access them. I have pages '11 on my new mac. Does anyone know how I can open them. It says I have to save them to 'pages '09' but I can't open them to do that! I have my iWork's '08 disc, but have lost the book that has the pin or code or whatever.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Reid

    There is no such thing as Pages or iWork '11. The latest suite of iWork apps are sometimes referred to as iWork '13 as that is the year they were released.
    iWork '08 does require a serial number whether it is installed from the retail DVD or the downloaded trial. I suggest you buy the retail box of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon.com or eBay. Be sure to run Software Update after installing & before running any of the applications. You can also download the standalone updater from this page.

  • HT4413 Migration Assistant for a brand new mac that has been used already?

    My dad bought a Mini but has been using it for a few months but didn't transfer anything from his old Mac. All his address book entries and files are still on his original Mac. Can Migration Assistant still be of help to transfer over the data without erasing what he's accumlated on his new Mac? Is it going to write over his email for instance?
    Thanks!

    Migration Assistant is not the tool you need to use at this point. Instead you should manually copy the data you want from the old computer to the new computer. If both computers have Firewire ports then use Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old computer into TDM and the new computer normally. You should then find a disk icon for the old computer's drive on the Desktop of the new computer.
    Before you do any of the described file copying below be sure you have quit Mail and Address Book if they are now open except where directed.
    For Mail you open Mail and select Import from the File menu. Check the top option to import from Apple Mail. Navigate on the old computer to its /Users/username/Library/Mail/ folder and then locate a folder named "Mailboxes." Select the folder and click on the Open button. Select the mailboxes you want to import and click on the Import/OK button. This will import the old mail to a new set of mailboxes in Mail under a mailbox named Imported. You can then move the old mail to wherever you want in Mail.
    For contacts locate the /Users/username/Library/Applications Support/AddressBook/ folder. Copy the entire folder to the new computer to the same location on the new computer.
    Last, navigate to the /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ folder and copy these preference files: com.apple.mail.plist and all beginning with com.apple.AddressBook. Copy them to the same location on the new computer.

  • How do I add music from my iPod to my new Mac that has an existing library?

    My MacBook was stolen sometime ago. I have managed to save my music in IPod.
    I had bought a new Mac since and have downloaded some music from my cd collections and iTune store,
    Hoe do I sync the iPod to the new computer without deleting any music from the me computer?

    Hello timfromsalem,
    It sounds like you need some guidance for transferring media from your device to a new computer. I have linked to an article which will instruct you on how to manage your media:

  • Got a new Mac that has Yosemite and am now getting an internal error message

    I went from OS X Mavericks on my old MacBook Pro to Yosemite on my new MacBook Pro - and now Presenter Express 10 is not working. I see myself on camera and start recording but when I try to play back I get an "internal error" message. Someone else posted on 2/15 they were getting this message but it doesn't seem like it's the same issue - ? I don't even get a chance to select different views - just the yellow shows up before the error message.
    The resolution is on the default of 1440 x 900, which is what Presenter's Help page says it should be at.
    I have Presenter Express installed and am not using it via a subscription. I did encounter problems with Photoshop with Yosemite and had to install Java 6 plus completely uninstall and reinstall Photoshop to make it work. Am wondering if I need to uninstall and reinstall Presenter Express?
    ****EDIT*** If I DO have to uninstall and reinstall - I just went to my account page and although all my software purchases and serial numbers are listed I can't click to download anything. I don't see a page where I can do this for Presenter Express (although there is one for other apps). All I can find is a purchase page with the free trial option.
    ****EDIT***** Just tried playing back a video that was still in Presenter from before I moved to new my Mac and it won't play. "application encounter an internal error"

    Thank you for your response Rajeev, yet I have a few concerns about it.
    As I said, my screen resolution is what the Presenter Help page says it should be for a MacBook Pro: 1440x900.
    1. In addition to the Photoshop problem I had when everything was migrated from my old MacBook Pro running Mavericks  to my new one running Yosemite, I also had a problem with Dreamweaver and what was a permissions problem. Is that what is going on here with Presenter 10? Adobe techs refused to talk to me since my versions of both programs were a couple years old.
    So I called Apple, as it was clear it was a permissions issue that would not allow me to open up my Dreamweaver files.
    To address the permissions problem with Dreamweaver, Apple had me create a new user account with admin rights, and in doing so (although the tech PROMISED it wouldn't happen even though I voiced my concerns about it) ALL my stored passwords were wiped out. They ended up having to give me a big Apple store purchase credit because it took me hours to add all my passwords back in manually - and some I didn't have written down. If I create another new one, I bet the same thing is going to happen.
    2. The permissions problem in Dreamweaver was solved by creating a new user account with admin rights. I did not have to do a clean re-install. However, the Photoshop problem required the Java 6 Runtime download from Apple, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop. Since I have been in the process of moving and my Creative Suite discs were in a box, I first tried downloading it from Adobe. But when I opened it up and clicked on the install icon, an error message came up that said Apple will not allow downloads to be installed unless they are purchased from the Apple store, or are an from an "approved vendor" (or something like that). I was like, WHAT???? But fortunately I found the box my software was in and reinstalled Photoshop from it.
    Naturally my concern is if I download Presenter 10 again (I do not have it on disc) I will get the same Apple error message. I had massive problems with the previous version of Presenter and Adobe techs spent hours and hours with me trying to fix the problem - and actually made some things worse. I finally requested a free copy of Presenter 10 Student edition (I am a full time student) as compensation for all my time, and that is the version I have and is registered with Adobe.

  • Unable to make purchases with my new Mac in iTunes Store.

    I am unable to make purchases with my new Mac in iTunes Store.
    I can buy with  my iPhone or my company lap-top (Windows) without any problems. Only with my brand new MacBook Pro it is impossible.
    When I try to authorize my Mac, sure dialog window appears and I give my ID and password. Then I get error message: "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." The same message I get, when I try to deauthorize.
    If I try to buy anything (pushing button "Buy"), then I get following error message:
    "iTunes couldn`t download your purchase. You don`t have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store--Check for available downloads".
    But I have such a permission!!! I can see it!!!
    I have even made so, that "everyone" and "staff" also  have permission "read and write" in folder iTunes and all subfolders.! :))
    When I ask for "available downloads" immediately I get the same answer: " iTunes couldn`t download your purchase. You don`t have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store--Check for available downloads"
    I have done:
    1. I have used the Terminal to correct the permissions (in Finder it looked correct anyway).                    -          NO Result.
    2. With Disk Utility I have verified and repaired Disk permissions. (There were approx. 10-12 incorrect values and 3 of them  concerned iTunes and other - Jawa ).           -           NO Result.
    3. I have moved all iTunes files in Thrash and installed iTunes again (previously downloaded from App Store ).                    -          No Result.
    4. I have verified Disk permissions with Disk Utility again. There was nothing wrong, but in spite of this I have pushed the button "Repair Disc Permissions".          -          NO Result.
    5. New installation of iTunes again.           -          No Result.
    Can it be, that the reason of a problem are not correct transferred data from my old MacBook?

    with my new Mac
    You have a warranty.  Take advantage of it!  Call tech support or call the iTunes store.

  • I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

    I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
    Thanks!

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

  • Re installing premiere on my new mac

    how can I reinstall the program.  I had a PC with the program and it crashed and now I need to install it onto my new mac.

    The link is still on the Adobe site's download page.
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us
    Just re-download it and use the serial number you already own to activate it.

  • Serial # not accepted when I'm trying to install LR5 on my new Mac

    I have LR 5 installed on a a PC. When I try to install LR on my new Mac my "old" serial # isn't accepted.
    Will the serial # be accepted if I uninstall LR from my old computer perhaps?
    Or will I have to buy a new license?

    Did you get this serial number from Adobe or an authorized Adobe reseller or did you get it from Amazon or somewhere else where the origin is not clear?  I ask this because sometimes serial numbers can be stolen and Adobe doesn't know for a while, but eventually they black-list them in newer versions of the software. 
    Is this a situation where you purchased an upgrade and aren't entering the previous version's serial number?
    Is the bad serial number indicated immediately upon typing the last digit with a red X instead of a green checkmark next to where the serial number is entered, or is the serial number indicated as bad after you log into Adobe during the install and registration process?
    Did this serial number come from a download or from a box?  Maybe one of these types of purchases only allows activating on a single platform.  Maybe you'll need to chat with Adobe about it, via the Chat links on their support pages.

  • I have premiere elements 4.0  and have installed it on 2 PC's, which I have upgraded and am unable to install it onto my new PC.

    Please help, I bought Premiere Elements 4.0 about 7 years ago and have upgraded my PC for a 3rd time and am unable to install it onto my new machine. Please can someone tell me how I can get it installed without having to buy a new version.

    sir don
    Several considerations.
    Adobe allows you to use the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. If you want to install that same purchased activated serial
    number on a 3rd computer, then you are going to have to remove Premiere Elements 4 from one of those other computers. There is no Deactivation option within the opened 4 program, so I suspect the regular uninstall the Control Panel way will do the job. (There may be a deactivation message in the uninstall dialogs when you are uninstalling the program.)
    What computer operating system does your new computer use? I have found Premiere Elements 4 to work on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit. But, I have not been
    using it a lot lately except for troubleshooting for others here.
    Please let me know if I have targeted your question. If not, please point out what I have not and give more details of what you seek.
    Thank you.

  • Installing CS6 on my new Mac

    I had CS6 on my windows computer and did not deactivate it before uninstalling.  I am now having difficulty installing it on my new Mac.  Can you advise me please what I need to do?
    Thanks

    You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, but those two machines need to be using the same platform (PC vs Mac) for Creative Suite software.  If your software is the PC version then it will not install on a Mac.  You will need to cross-grade the platform version - and since you are dealing with CS6, it is possible (not for earlier versions). To do that see the instructions on the following linked page...
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l
    You should get the PC installation deactivated.  To do that you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone -  they can take care of it.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:
