so i just bought my new imac last night and I'm trying to install final cut and it won't let me install it cause not all the hardware requirements are met. I have no clue what requirement I don't have. does anyone know what I'm supposed to do?

what version of fcp? do you have enough HD space?

its fcp 5. This is my first mac so I'm not sure where took look and see how much hd space I have

is fcp 5 for intel or powerpc macs? that might be a dumb question, I don't know how old fcp 5 is.

do you mean the imac is new to you, or new as in the latest version?

its for powerpc macs. and the mac is new to me, I just bought it from the apple store last night

and i am assuming powerpc is pretty old? haha

yea if FCP 5 is for power pc only, it won't work on the new intel imacs....but nice buy, those things are pretty sweet.

If it is a legit copy you are probably eligible for a cheap upgrade.

yeah I've been saving up since the summer for it. and that explains why it won't install. thanks for the help!
