Compressor questions
I bought a mac pro in January and migrated my software; fcp, etc. from my macbookpro.
The first time I tried to use compressor after the migration it gave ‘no read or right’ errors. I worked around by using quicktime. Today I tried again and received the same message so I checked my drives and found the system was the only one with read/right permissions. I changed the admin to this and tried again. Same errors on compressor.
I don’t know what else to try. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Using version 3.05

Migrating the Final Cut Studio apps won’t work. There are too many supporting files it installs throughout the system that Migrating doesn’t get. You need to install the apps from the original DVDs.

Thanks. I have the discs and will do an new install. Hope I don’t loose anything in the process?

You won’t lose anything. Make sure you run the system update too, to get fully current.

Thanks again, Shane. Before I get started, my discs are an upgrade from previous. Since I haven’t done this in awhile, will that matter? Should I do a complete install with all the discs?
Thanks.

Just have the original serial number handy. Install the upgrade, it will ask for that number/

Shane, install won’t work due to FPS being version 6.06. Error says it no longer supports power pc’s, which I no longer have. Working with a mac pro, 8 core with 36gb of ram. Any way to work around this?
Thanks.

You are trying to install FCP 6…FCS2…onto a NEW computer, running MacOS 10.8, Mountain Lion…right?
FCP 7 (4 years old) isn’t supported on that OS (meaning Apple didn’t test it to make sure it works, and plug any bugs)…they certainly didn’t take into account the 6 year old FCS 2. The only way to install that onto your computer is to use Pacifist to hack things a bit.

Bummer. It’s actually a refurb from mid-2010 running lion, not mountain lion. Don’t imagine I’ll find any hackers here, in the middle of the Caribbean. :{

Ah…Lion is a tad easier. If you have a Snow Leopard installer, install ROSETTA from that (do a Custome Install). Then the FCS2 installer will work fine.
Mountain Lion is the one that requires Pacifist.
