Q: I wish I'd never installed Lion...
Just found another issue after installing Lion (things I wish I'd known first):
Compressor 2 just packed up as it 'couldn't connect to background services".
So I followed the advice given here (which I've had to do before under Leopard and Snow Leopard too): http://support.apple.com/kb/ta47672?viewlocale=en_us
Trouble is, I now cannot reinstall Compressor as Lion tells me it cannot cope with 'PowerPC' software.
Aaarrghhh!
This means that if I need to reinstall FinalCut Studio 5.1.4 I won't be able to - even though it works under Lion.
Does anybody have a workaround for this ridiculous situation?
Thanks.

Perhaps a better rule is ALWAYS CLONE YOUR STARTUP DRIVE BEFORE UPGRADING/UPDATING ANYTHING. Works for me. If things go south after the upgrade, I can clone back to my startup drive and be back at work in an hour or two. I actually clone to a second internal drive so I can just restart off the alternate drive and be back at work in minutes.
