Projects stored on external hard drive not updating for new FCP 10.1.4

Hi, I've recently updated FCP to 10.1.4 from 10.1.3 (I think!). It automatically updated the projects and events that were stored on my laptop, however, it wouldn't update the projects and files that are stored on my external hard drive...and I really need to access them! Has anyone had this problem or knows how to rectify it?

I tried the obvious; File, Update Projects and Events, Locate.... However, it doesn't allow me to select the files I want to update.

Please help!

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

YYou update the volume. Not the projects and events. You select the volume and update the FCP material on it

Sorry, can you explain this a bit more please? How to I get projects I've created on the older version of FCP to work on the newest edition?

If you went from 10.1.3, then you don't update projects and events, you update the library, and you don't use the update projects and events function. Simply double click the library, and you'll get a message warning you that the library is going to be updated. If that's not what you seeing when you double click the library on the external drive, post a screen shot of what you do see. Or are you updating projects and events that were created in much older versions of FCP, 10.0.9 or earlier?
