I just updated my Macbook Pro to Yosemite and now FCPX has stopped working. The version can't be used with this version of Mac OS X, however there are no updated for Final Cut Pro.
How can I fix this?
I hesitate to even update my iMac to Yosemite in fear that other applications will fail to work after.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I am having the same issue. In my case, I have an very old copy of FCP (version 3.0) that I bought at the Apple Store in Crabtree Valley Mall, Raleigh, NC.
I do not see it under Purchased or Updates when I log into the apple store. To my knowledge this is the same apple id I had when I purchased the software. Could the fact that I bought it on physical DVDs and not from the online store be why it doesn't show up?
How can I update my now ancient copy of FCP so that it will run under Yosemite?
Thanks,
Greg.
Do you mean FCPX v10.0.3? Or do you mean legacy FCP v3? The latter predates the App Store by many years. No legacy version of FCP has ever been available through the store, only on disc. You will have to install from the discs, if the installer will even run.
I'm pretty sure it's legacy. The box says Final Cut Pro 7 and the disc says Installer version 3.0.
It is a box with physical DVDs that I bought at the Apple Store (not App Store) in Raleigh.
The iMac is ejecting my installer DVD after churning for several seconds and there are no scratches on the disc. Other discs in the box can be opened (e.g. motion content, audio content, etc)?
Is there no way to upgrade from this version to FCPX?
DDoes it launch?
No. I think I figured it out. I'm not at the latest version.
mine is working...make sure you have version 10.1.3.
Hi
I updated to Yosemite last night and today I was trying to open FCP X but it isn't opening. How do I update FCP to work on Yosemite??
AAre you using FCP version 10.1.3?
LOg in to App Store with the ID you bought FCPX and check for updates or purchases.
To do this, simply
- Right-click on the "Final Cut Pro" application
- "Show Package Contents"
- Navigate to "Contents" then click "MacOS"
FCPX will launch but it is possible that it is not all the features
OOr update to a version that works in the OS.
I've FCP 10.0.9, I go to App Store but I'm not allowed to update to latest version.
Of Course I've an original version of FCP!
Any advice?
Why aren't you allowed? Does the application appear in the Purchases page? What happens in the App Store? Are you logged in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase it?
It appears in the purchase page, I'm logged in with Apple ID.
When I click on "Install" the message is "Final Cut is already installed on this computer"
Move the app to the trash and repeat the process in the App Store Purchases page.
Final Cut Pro X is not working with Yosemite!
