Just to add , I have seen comments saying remove any intel references & others saying remove installation?

Please can you let me know specifically what part if code to remove??? I couldn't put it all here as not enough space, but hopefully it's near the functions at the beginning if not I will post remainder of code. Please help. I have a video project I need to start as soon as possible.

Thanks

Let me guess, i386 is intel.

I am sorry I cannot help you more. I have no experience with FCP7. Other guys would chime in most definitely.

No , problem. My problem specifically is I need to get my footage from my 500D DSLR into final cut.
The version I have installed is 4.5 , but this doesn't work as I need the prores422 seemingly.

That's what has led me to trying to install a newer version & run into the problems.

Will it not work with FCP6?

Yes, FCP6 also have prores codecs. I am not in my quad right now. And actually I am in an airport, but once I get to my quad I can confirm if prores 422 is there.

That would be great if you could do that when you get some time , if you manage to sort it before you reply I will let you know.

Change this:
Code: 
function isIntel()
{
    return (system.sysctl('hw.byteorder') == '1234');
}

To this:
Code: 
function isIntel()
{
    return true;
}

It's essentially checking whether the CPU is big or little endian (the order data is stored in) and using that to determine whether you're running Intel or not.

Hi , I did this but it still gives me the "this software needs intel" error

----------

Is it not to do with the function installation check ?
I thought that was going to work there. I'm not sure what I try next other than buy a copy of FCP 6 . I really want to get this one working though

----------

I got it. I changed the installation check part. With the same trick you mentioned returned false.

Thank you so so much you are a lifesaver . I have a video project that I would rather do on my Mac as my laptop isn't cutting it.

Thanks

Sorry, I'm not thinking properly today. Obviously the function should return true not false because you want it to think you're running an Intel.

Ah so that would have worked also then? If I had put that to true . I think I have fluked another solution.
Phew.

This is the code I removed to get it to install:

<installation-check script='installationCheck()'/>

Removed the whole line and it gave me no errors when installing on g5 2.3 dualcore

That's what I did when I installed on my quad G5. Runs more reliably than then when I did pacifist.
