Final Cut Refuses to update to 6.05 from 6.02

I've been running Final Cut 6 for a while and regularly downloading Pro Apps updates. However we've just bought a new Macbook Pro with FCS2 on it and I went to open up a project file and realised that the copy of FCP on my Mac Pro is seemingly stuck at version 6.02 when the new one on the Macbook Pro is at 6.05.
This obviously means that I can't work with the same project file on both machines - a real pain.
All the other Pro Apps (Compressor, Soundtrack etc) seem to have all updated to the latest versions, just not FCP.
Does anyone have any ideas why this would be the case?

Think this is solved thanks to a colleague. I'm sure that this has probably been covered elsewhere but just in case it helps someone else:
The Final Cut Application has to be in the Applications folder and NOT in a subfolder, as was the case on my machine.

  • Why doesn't Final Cut Pro X update songs from Garageband?

    While working on a short film in Final Cut Pro X, I worked up a simple sound track in Garageband. I imported the Garageband project, aligned it, and discovered that I'd mistimed one of the sound transitions.
    So, I went back to Garageband and updated the transition, moving the sound effect to the right spot to match up to the video, and then went back to FCPX. I dragged the Garageband project onto the original copy that I'd imported, and selected "replace" and ended up with... the original. After some experimenting, I actually went and deleted an entire track from the Garageband project and reloaded it in FCPX... still no change. How can I fix this?

    Here's an update...
    I made some changes to the Garageband track and saved it as another project... Final Cut refused to even detect it until I restarted Final Cut.
    I have a sound effect that's placed at 1:32 in Garageband, and it ALWAYS plays at 1:31 in Final Cut, no matter how shift it around in Garageband. After changing the song in Garageband and sharing it to disk, I verified that the sound effect is happening at 1:32 by playing it back in Quicktime, so it must be Final Cut that's misbehaving.

  • I can't download the final cut pro's update in AppleStore. Have a solution ?

    Hello,

    Is the application in your Purchases page? Are you signed in to the App Store using the Apple ID that purchased the software?

  • When's The Next Final Cut Pro HD Update?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows when the next Final Cut Pro HD update is supposed to be released. I'm about ready to make a purchase, but I was wondering if I should wait if the next version is going to be out soon.
    Thanks!

    I don't think it's against the TOU however to point out that Apple have been known to launch new products or announce updates at the NAB show, which takes place every April.
    But I personally have no idea if there's anything in the pipeline. I only buy every second upgrade anyway so I'll be waiting for FCS7.

  • Final Cut Express HD update on cd?

    Recently bought imac g5 isight. Couldn't get final cut express HD to work as it did not recognise the PCI card. Apple provide an update to fix this but it must be downloaded via the net. Can i not acquire this somehow on disk from apple as i am using the imac in a house without a phoneline and hence no internet connection?

    Could you not download it elsewhere onto a USB drive or burn to CD? I think that will be the best route.

  • MUSIC FOLDER MISSING AFTER FINAL CUT PRO X UPDATE

    I cant see the music folders that come with Final Cut pro after the most recent update (i.e. special effects, etc). PLEASE HELP!

    I saw on somewhere that reloading FCPRO Content v1.0 would do the trick. It worked. All 1300 sound fx are back where they belong. The link to the download is:

    Did not try the Garage band suggestion but thank you all.

  • Downloading Final Cut Express 2 update

    Hello, this may seem like a simple question, but, how do I download the update for FCExpress without the internet. I have recently purchased a new imac and have not yet got the right cable to connect it to the internet. I am trying to use final cut express for the first time but as I don't have an AGP card it won't work. I'm on a PC at the moment and when I try to download the update it says file size form and there appears to be no download button. Is there any other way of downloading the update without my mac being connected?

    It sounds like you have an Intel iMac. You can ignore the AGP error message, but you will find that FCE2 does not run well on the Intel iMacs.
    You really should upgrade to FCE 3.5, which is the correct version for the Intel Macs. You will have to purchase it; it cannot be downloaded.

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Update Security -- Putting Serial # in for "Update"

    I am still working with FCP Studio and FCP 5. I have heard that when I purchase FCP Studio 2 with FCP 6, the first time I go do a "Software Update" it will ask for the Serial # for the FCP Studio 2. Is that true? I am just curious. I have already ordered FCP Studio 2. Will it always ask for the Serial # when I do an "Update?" Is there any other security upgrades from Final Cut Studio 1?
    Thanks in Advance

    Software update has nor required this.
    But downloading the items manually from the Apple update site for FCS2 does require this.
    Don't know of any "security updates" for FCS? What are you referring to?
    There are some for the OS, etc.

  • Final Cut Express HD Update?

    Can anybody tell me when the last big update for Final Cut Express HD was and do you think it will be dropped and superseded by iMovie?

    Final Cut Express HD was the name of v3 and v3.5. Apple dropped 'HD' from the name when they released FCE v4. If you install FCE v4 on an Intel Mac, there is an update available called 4.0.1. That is the 'latest' update.
    Speculation on Apple products is against the terms of use (TOU) of these forums.

  • Final Cut Pro X Update Issues

    Last year I purchased a used 2013 MacBook Air with Final Cut Pro X already installed.
    I just learned that in order to update the software, I need to be signed into the Mac App Store account that purchased FCPX.
    Is there anyway to transfer the software onto my own account, or do I have to contact the seller and get their information to update. Any other ways to update?

    If you are serious about editing with FCP X, buy it yourself. That way you will get each future update
    which will match whatever iteration of OS X is most current on any computer on the planet (that you own).
    No One in their right mind is going to give you their App Store sign In info. W/O it you are stumped,
    stagnant even - in the bottom of the pond all alone. You know how many people write in here asking
    how to get something for nothing? Lots. In that respect you are not alone.

  • Final Cut Express Needs Update for MBP

    Well the lovely people at the Apple store sold me Final Cut Express for my MBP and I'm getting the AGP error... finding out I'm not alone helps somewhat. Just wondering when they are going to update it. LiveType is working, which I'm very thankful for. Seriously though, If it's not gonna work, why'd they sell it to me

    Peter, that's actually a poor comment - as a customer of one of the more pricy brands, how much work do you have to invest to get basic Wall Mart style service? On apple.com they actually tell us how much faster Final Cut works on intel, so how much homework is required to find out it doesn't even run on it, yet? I bought my MacBook Pro expressly to let this application run on it - and my provider remembered the incompatibility immediately after I came back into the store, mumbling about AGP and stuff - look: I just want to edit films - not open source files and type things in there (and then FCE actually runs slower than on G4, as an aside). Your comment is wrong.

  • Because of the new final cut pro x update with photoshop capability, does that mean 3d objects are now compatible with final cut pro x

    Does Final Cut Pro X now support 3d models or objects because of the update with photshop capability?

    When you import a 3D model in Photoshop, it is imported as a Layer (smart object). And, yes, you can edit 3D objects in Photoshop and import them into FCPX—AS a photohop image (you cannot manipulate the 3D nature of the object in FCPX.) You can however create an animation in PS, convert to layers from frames and import that into fcpx. You can then edit the compound clip created to make use of those "animated" layer/frames. (I'm not sure how far I'd "push it" though...fwiw, at that point, it might be better to export the animation from PS and import the MOV into FCPX.)
    You can also make edits in PS after the psd is imported and fcpx will do live updates (after saving the psd file, of course.) 3D objects in PS are a special kind of Smart Object, and Smart Objects will translate to Motion and FCPX (they will be rasterized as a single layer, though.)

  • Final cut refuses to import itunes audio

    have cut voiceover audio in garage band (done this many times before) share it to itunes--
    cannot drag it into final cut clip folder to use in project---receive error message---
    tried saving it to g-drive and grabbing--no luck
    tried sending to xdcam card and importing it there---no luck
    am i missing a setting?
    tnx

    Don't share it to iTunes.  That is an unnecessary step.  Export out of Garage Band as a 48k 16bit stereo clip from Garage band.  Export it to your external MEDIA drive.  Then import that file into FCP.
