Can' t update to 10.3.4 FCPX version / funny messages

Hi,

I can't update to latest .4 Version see attached screenshots




Basically message is telling that FCPX is already installed (yes 10.3.3) and that I should open the App Store and look for updates. Very funny because App store is already open. Tried to reboot a couple of times but still receive the same messages... any ideas except installing OSX again )

Check it's in the Purchased page of the App Store. If yes, move the app to the trash and redownload from the App Store.

Sure it is. But putting it into the trash doesn't ' impact created views and adjusted keyboards?

No. Those are all external of the application itself.

TX Tom. But update was saved on external drive but anyway hope that works

FCPX is in your Apps-Folder (Programme?) Not 'somewhere', e.g. some ext drive?
FCPX is not renamed, e.g. 'FCPX alte Fassung'?
Apps-Folder is on int. 'main' drive?

Yes to all. Update from iMovie worked but fcpx caused problems to run an update. Never had that issue before. Seltsam.

really ??? but you told us:

When _I_ click in the AppStore on Update, it will just update the installed version - no 'saving' nor on ext. drives…
So, you DO somehow 'interfere' the update process…

Yes. I delete fcpx on c / apps and installed again out of App Store and App Store put fcpx on my external drive copied it then back into c / Apps.

Next time I will record a video

Something is wrong on your system. You may have that external drive set as the default boot drive? Something isn't right.

then, for undocumented reasons, your extHDD is 'recognized' as OS-drive… which 'confuses' the installer routines: the update is downloaded (obviously), but can not be installed because no FCPX there (=on THAT drive, not the main one) .....

because I have it here* :
does your 'other' drive contain a System?

* To update our schools Mac (which is behind a bullet-proof firewall AND has a lame connection), I had cloned it's int.drive, launch at home from that drive, and, 'in disguise/I'm a school Mac', I dl all updates via my faster connection, later clone back on schoolMac.
And THAT drive confuses my own system too, when connected, and start-drive is my own, intSSD…

no, sorry only libraries. )

Lets see how the situation will be when Apple releases in 3-4 months FCPX 11 )

If they improve audio mixing further, and drastically, I think they will call it 10.4.

Why do we first have to compound the project to bake the role-lanes into "stems"? Wouldn't this be possible with just another view we could toggle in he timeline index? Then, with THX ducking, a new workspace for audio mixing and what have you, they could skip 10.3.5.
They promised Jobs at the deathbed FCP X would be a ten year commitment. FCP XI might still be 4-5 years in.
