Final Cut Pro won't install on my hackintoshes?
Hey guys,

I tried to install final cut pro today on a dell inspiron 1525 (duo core, 2gb ram, 8400m gs) and a intel quad core (8gb ram, gtx260) and the installer is telling me that the my hardware doesn't meet the specifications. Both easily meet requirements and I'm wondering if it's just my copy?

Has anyone else come across this? I googled and searched here but didn't find anything like this.


TIA

QE/CI enabled on both. I have been digging all day and the only thing I read that people had an issue with was VRAM. Appearently 128 is needed and my 8400gs has that and my 250gtx has plenty.

It doesn't tell you what hardware is insufficient... just says it can't install. I'm very surprised by this.

I have Logic Studio installed on my Hac. It's an apple product, but I'm not sure if it has anything similar to Final Cut

Try installing with pacifist or maybe this can solve it:
  1. In Finder, navigate to /Library/Receipts/.
  2. Locate the file named ProMediaIO.pkg and drag it to the Trash.
  3. Run the Final Cut Studio Installer again.

Perhaps this could be an issue solved through chameleon with the correct plist so your system can be recognized as an original mac, like a real macpro model and serial number. Don't really know, that's just an idea.

I ended up finding out that an older version of Final was the issue. I ended up finding that the new version of 7 would accept the card (8400) but the version I tried with 4.5 was looking for AGP graphics card after I got it to install using the pacifist method and actually looking into the requirements plist.

Thank you guys so much!
