After performing recent updates it is now impossible to use FCPX. I have now reverted OS back to Yosemite 10.10 and would like to get a downgrade of FCPX to 10.2.1 this was the level at which everything was working ok. Can anyone advise where I can get a download of FCPX 10.2.1 please.

Fred
I hope you have a backup somewhere as that is the only place you can get one.
The App Store only has the latest version.

Hi AL, thanks for the reply. I didn't have a backup.

DId you try the usual troublesbooting techniques -deleting preferences, running from a new user account?
Even if you get a copy 10.2.1 it is quite possible it won't solve your problem.
If you were able to revert to the earlier OS, you must have had some type of back up procedure in place. Did that backup include applications?

Hi Luis, I did trash the prefs file but no joy.
I also after many trials decided to setup a clean new HD and download OS 10.10.5 together with new clean install of FCPX 10.2.2 however the problem still remained ie clips still wouldn't download.
I have now since managed to find a previous version of both OS 10.10.3 and FCPX 10.2.1 and now have FCPX working as before.
This proves to me that there MUST be some issue with either FCPX 10.2.2 or OS 10.10.5 or a compatibility between them both at this current version level.
Hope this helps anyone else sufering iwth delays loading clips.

I am glad to found at least a temporary solution by reverting to 10.10.3 and 10.2.1.
Just checking: you said you did a clean install of 10.10.5 and 10.2.2 and still had problems. A lot people had that combination without issues.
Did you try it on a clean installation of 10.10.5 or did you first migrate your user account from a backup or something?
The reason I am asking is that often people do a clean install but then they reinstall their old account, in the process bringing back the very stuff that was causing the problem!
Hi Luis, I used a new blank HDD for the clean install and just installed the OS from a memory stick I had made some time ago then downloaded FCPX from the App Store but when I launched FCPX and tried to import clips I just had the little spinning wheel at the bottom of the import screen. It's a complete mystery and doesn't make sense.

Complete mystery, indeed.
FCPX 10.2.2 takes hours to load clips (Need to revert to FCPX 10.2.1 How ?
