hey

my friend has a a powerbook G5 and he had sent final cut erxpress to my mac book pro...

now the problem is that its asking for the AGP grapichs card on my end...wouldnt it work automatically...considering i have a more powerful machine than my friend?

help me out pls...

cheers

PowerBook G4

and the copy of Final Cut Express might be a PPC application, since you have an intel mac, it will either emulate the ppc application into rosetta (meaning it'll run the app at less performance), or it will spit chips.

ok, so then how do i get access into it, cause when i want to open the program, it comes up with the error that the AGP graphics card is missing...then it wont open..??

There's two things to contemplate:

1. PPC version of Final Cut. You need version 5.1 or higher (which is a universal binary). Check what version of Final Cut you're running.

2. Did your friend just copy the app across? If so, this isn't good idea. You need to actually grab the original disc/disc image and *install* the program. Simply copying it across generally causes issues like the one you're having.

By the way, friends just can't give you software that you don't have a license for, that's illegal. *wink wink nudge nudge*

really common complaint. decryption, how dare you infer cruticus didnt pay for final cut...

although, you really dont want to run anything under rosetta if you dont need to. get a universal copy for your intel machine.

final cut express 3 and above are universal i think.

That's why :P

fyi final cut express went universal in v 3.5 so thats what hell need. and a powerbook g5 man one of those.

I'm sure his friend has a volume license...
