I have a Macbook Air mid 2013 with 4 Gigabytes of RAM, a processor speed of 1.3 GHz, Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB, and 250 Gigabytes of storage. My OS X is Yosemite 10.10. My Final Cut Pro X isn't updating. It is still 10.0.3 and won't give me new updates. I need the update because the application won't work on the new Yosemite update. How would I go about fixing this?
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I was having a similar problem. I have a Mid-2015 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro, and I was running Yosemite. I wanted to update to FCPX 10.3.2, but when I clicked update it would grey out and I would get a status symbol that would just spin in perpetuity. I tried updating to Sierra 10.12.3, but same issue. It wouldn't update from the purchases section in App Store. Searching Final Cut Pro, and then clicking the Update button from the results page did nothing. Clicking update from the FCPX app store page did nothing. Finally, in About My Mac, clicking Software Update from the Overview tab led me to a page that showed all available updates. Clicking update on FCPX finally worked from this screen. Hope this helps someone.

WWhy won't it update? What happens in the App Store? We can't see your computer. You have to tell is what's happening.
Mine does the same. At first I could push the update button and it would just "ghost" out. So I put the APP in the trash then took it out & now its telling me i need to purchase it through the App store. The APP itself has has Circle X on it and says "Wont work with this OS X" What now?
Is the application on your Purchases page of the App Store when you're signed in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase it?
FCP 10.1.3 is the only version I believe that will work with Yosemite.
My app store won't even show the update, there is no option. It won't even show the application in the purchases section.
Are you signed in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the application?
Wait, the people at the genius bar in the Apple store said that when I buy a second hand apple the apps on can still be used and updated. Now, they have failed me. I demand a refund or at least enough store credit to buy Final Cut Pro X (Again). I had to pay extra for my computer because of your service.
You're not going to get a refund from anyone here. We're just users like you. This is a user to user forum. You might try getting a refund from the Apple Store, though I've never heard of it being done.
I Got the new download. My program now has an x thought it. When I did the last "new" update it didn't allow me to export videos or movies anymore. With this yosemote update i can't even open the program or upgrade in apps. I have a video potentially lost and no idea about purchase info. A friend put it on my computer. Is there a way of getting a newer final cut with out losing videos/ movies ?
YYou have to buy the software.
Tom, I'm having similar issue. I have bought FCP 10.0 and have it on an old mac book pro. when i try and upgrade a pop up tells me that my video card is not compatible with the update, so it won't let me update.
I have just bought a mac mini, when i go to the app store to download FCP, it gives me the price. To download i need to buy it again. I have download motion 5 and a few other , already purchased on the mac book pro, bits and pieces no problems.
I have copied FCP to a hard drive and copied it across to the mac mini, but a cross goes across the icon; when i double click on it a pop up telling me that i need to update the version before i can install comes up. this takes me back to the above problem, my video card on the macbook is not compatible with the update.
Please help.
Thank you
ASate you logged into the App Store with the Apple ID that was used to buy it? Does the app appear on the Purchases page?
I log in with the same details, on the macbook it shows up, on the mac mini it doesn't show up.
