FCP X 10.0.1 – fix if your update doesn’t show in MacApp store

[Paul Figgiani]

Tim,

Thanks. Worked for me as well …

Yup, thats what I had to do. I had legacy FCP installed on the same drive – so maybe that was it?

Thanks! That worked for me. I also have FCP 7 installed on the same drive; perhaps that is the cause of the issue.

Good work Tim.

How did you come by this information?

[Mark Morache] “How did you come by this information?”

Just a guess. 🙂 I’ve had a Mac since 1984. Perhaps I just “know” Apple bugs by now.

Regarding the FCP 7, I don’t think that is the problem. It happened on a machine without FCP 7 installed. I have a feeling it has to do with some kind of receipt issue with the Mac App store. It’s still a little buggy.

Moved it to the trash
went to the app store
says please remit and give another 299
Just more apple annoyance

Make sure you goto the purchases tab and then click “install” for FCP X. Don’t download from the product page itself.

If that doesn’t work call Apple, they will help you out. 1-800-MY-APPLE

I’m in the process of trying this fix out. However, I can’t help but wonder, is this solution really downloading the “update delta”, or the entire app….again.

I mention this because I’m waiting and see that there is 1.44GB of download. The App store lists FCPX as being 1.34GB. So this solution doesn’t seem like the update, rather, just re-downloading the updated version.

In that case, it’s sort of a bummer. I’d love to know if someone actually had the update button and what size that was.

[T. Payton]

As far as I know the delta update is Lion only.

I’ve got FCP X on 5 machines. (4@10.6.8, 1@10.7.1) The update didn’t show up for any of them. The motion update did however. Of course we have a 20mb internet connection, so it only took about 20 minutes to download a fresh version.

I should have mentioned I’m on Lion. I can confirm that the method mentioned in this thread works (Trash FCPX, install from App purchases).

I’m still curious about the actual update size. Maybe it was 1.44GB, which means the update is bigger than the install (doubtful). If anyone can confirm they “updated” and what size the update was, that would be great.

Thanks for the info.
