Q: I couldn't install Final Cut studio 2.0.1 after installing Mountain Lion 10.8

After installing Mountain Lion 10.8, I couldn't install Final Cut studio 2.0.1-the same software that I had bought and used with Snow Leopard. Please advise.

Final Cut Studio '09, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

A:

As I mentioned earlier, there will be an hours long period of "apparently" nothing happening after you hit RETURN in Terminal after typing (or better yet, copying and pasting) the instruction line into it.

 

I had suggested you attempt this at a time when you could then go to sleep and see what appears in the morning when you rise.

 

Try it again tonight...

    Hi Michael and Nick,

     

    Here's the whole story. I left Terminal on and running since our last conversation. When I checked and saw nothing happened, I tried to launch FCS disc for installation. I got the same "no longer supported" message. Therefore, you got my "nothing happened" message earlier.

     

    But as a habit, I thought I would give this painful and unpredictable process a second chance. So I started Terminal again. When I copied and pasted your instruction line in again, the installation suddenly occured. And bingo, this installation issue is successfully solved.

     

    Thanks to you all. I am checking to see if the applications programs run properly. If there's any problem, you'll see me here bugging you guys again.

    Great news!

     

    Please come back and CONFIRM that installation was successful, so that I can confidently support this approach to installation of FCS2 into Mountain Lion!

    More importantly, with confirmation, I am able to properly advise other Final Cut Studio users on how to install in Mountain Lion!

     

    How long did installation take, after you initiated the instruction in Terminal the second time?

     

    A THANK YOU to Jeremy Johnstone; whose blog alerted me to this tip.

    Works!!! (Mountain lion)

     

    1.You will not see the usual installation window and you will not see anything happening besides the info in the terminal.

    2.You will not have the option to select installation of any additional content like audio loops. You can install those afterwards using the other disks. (each disk has an installer pkg which works on Mountain Lion)

    Thank you for this additional confirmation!

     

    Can you respond with a step by step instruction set for future installers of FCS2 in Mountain Lion!  Thanks!

     

    I will then link to your instruction set post in the future...

    Will do. Still testing and running updates.

    One new development is that LiveType content can't be installed using the disc installer shortcut.

    The terminal trick works, you just have to substitute the file names in the path. 

     

    DVD studio pro is acting funky, will see how it does after updates.

    You mean, like these:

     

     

    DVD Studio Pro Content

    $ sudo installer -package /Volumes/DVD\ Studio\ Pro\ Content/Installer/DVDStudioProContent.mpkg/ -target /

    Motion Content

    Audio Content 2

    $ sudo installer -package /Volumes/Audio\ Content\ 3/Installer/AudioContentforSoundtrackPro7.pkg/ -target /

    LiveType Media 1

    Hi Michael,

    Something I don't understand: FCstudio has 9 disks. Terminal installed 01 disk (installation disk) by itself. What about the other disks?

     

    Final Cut Pro is doing fine. I haven't been able to try all other programs but SoundTrack and DVD StudioPro showed a message like "some of the items of the project will not be properly imported." every time I opened an old project. I continued anyway. The file appeared to be fine regardless. I saved that project and opened it again, I didn't get that message anymore.

     

    One more thing: I didn't type the dollar/money symbol ($) from your instruction line  in. I did try, but Terminal kicked me out.

    Yes, I should have left out the "$" sign.  It is merely the Terminal prompt character.

     

    I posted the list above, for most of the other discs.  Try these and let me know if any are still missing instructions.

    Hi,

    All the other disks can be installed after you install the Main FCP disk. Each disk has an install package in it that works. The only discs that don't are the LiveType content discs.  You have to use same method MichaelLAX described just with a slight modification.

    1. put the LiveType content disc1 in and in the terminal use:

     

    $ sudo installer -package /Volumes/LiveType\ Media\ 1/Installer/LiveTypeMedia1.mpkg/ -target /

     

    2.Once install is successful swap in the second LiveType content disc and use:

    $ sudo installer -package /Volumes/LiveType\ Media\ 2/Installer/LiveTypeMedia2A.pkg/ -target /

     

    G.

    Hey guys,

    Just got a Macbook Pro a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to install FCS 1 with Final Cut 5, will this work for this version?

     

    Also, for the FC users in this thread-would it be worth it just to upgrade to FCS 3 or skip that and go onto FCPX?

     

    Thanks!

    to all in this thread, I have been having all kinds of issues transitioning from my mac pro to my new imac and when I tried to reinstall my Final Cut Studio 2 and got the error code I was about to scream.   I looked for and found your solution, and so far so good.  Oddly, only the FCS install disk had to be installed using the terminal.  the other disks are being loaded normally.  I am just glad I didn't have to buy another FCS program. 

     

    thanks, this has been a great help.
