  App Store showing updates of the FCPX family apps, but to already installed versions.

  Posted by Don Walker on January 30, 2013 at 2:35 am

  I was excited to find new upgrades available for FCPX and friends on the App store this evening, but it’s for versions I already have installed. (10.0.7) Anybody else seeing this?

  This happens on some of my computers and not others. I just ignore it once I know it’s nothing new.

  Hey Don – I actually see this quite a bit because I keep copies of older versions on an external drive that also happens to have some FCP events on it. Apparently the Mac App Store will find apps anywhere on your system. Maybe that is the issue.

  For me it has to do with boot drives.

  If another boot drive has fcpx on it, the AppStore will want to update your current drive with the new updates, even if they aren’t on the drive.

  For example, I have a production machine with a boot drive that is going to stay with fcs3 and snow leopard.

  On the same machine, I have a lion/fcpx boot drive.

  My snow leopard AppStore icon has the little red circle update icon on it all the time which are fcpx, motion, and compressor. There’s nothing that I seem to be able to do about it except avoid clicking “update all”! 😉
