Hi:
I have recently done a clean install on OSX Tiger. (I have a G4 sawtooth 400 MHz upgraded to 1 GHz running Panther before). I back up all my programs and files before erasing the drive.
After the installation, I copy the programs back. Final Cut Pro 3.0 stop working after that. It said on the screen that a required system ID is missing, please reinstall using the original disc. I have final cut pro 1.2, also 3.0 upgrade. 1.2 (OS 9 version) is still installed on my OS9 drive. I inserted the original 3.0 upgrade install disc for OSX, it refused to install. I look at the read me file, and it tells me that I need to start the CLASSIC mode at least once before upgrading so the install program can find the original 1.2 version to upgrade. So I did that, the classic mode started fine. After that the 3.0 upgrade was installed successfully (according to the installer), but I was never asked to key in the administrator's password in the process. I then tried to start the program, the same error message occurred (a required system ID is missing, please reinstall using the original disc). I removed the program, repair permissions, restarted the computer, repeated the installation process again, restarted the computer and then started the program. But I still got the same error message.
I still have both the original 1.2 and 3.0 upgrade discs. Any help is much appreciated.
