Problems installing previous version of Final Cut Studio on new iMac.
I just purchased the new Intel 2 duo core iMac, but am having an impossible time installing my older version of FC Studio. I have it installed on 3 of my older single duo core Macs (including a not so powerful MacBook), but when I try to install on my new iMac, it completely freezes up in the install phase forcing me to Force Restart (by holding in the power button) the computer. The strange thing is that it acts like a completely normal installation, and even begins to actually install, but then once it starts installing the “Boris Language Pack” it instantly freezes.
Any insights as to why this is happening would be incredibly appreciated.
Thank you

If you are installing on Leopard on some new machines it can take a VERY long time. WAlk away from it for a few hours if it freezes and make sure it’s frozen.
Otherwise, I think you can add it to the list of LEOPARD problems.

Actually, the new iMac I am attempting to install it on was purchased before Leopard was released, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to let it try to install for a few hours and see what happens. Have you heard of this happening on Tiger?
Thanks a lot for your input, I truly appreciate it.

Try a custom install by only installing FCP. See if that is what is hanging the install.
RUn software update on the iMac and make sure that it’s up to date.
One License on four machines is a stretch.
