This transition won't be "painful" for anyone but a tiny minority unless you decide to make it so by not seeking and supporting alternatives. unless you're prepared to preserve that machine at Mojave and take it off the internet in a couple of years when security support is dropped, you're going to need to slowly but surely replace those 32-bit apps with 64-bit alternatives. Obviously you like this abandonware, but. This shouldn't need to be written out, but apparently it does: at that point you need to start looking at supported, alternative software. I think you can assume things that haven't been updated for 64-bit means they haven't been updated in several years, and you can presume abandonware. When it becomes obvious that a Mac app you like hasn't been updated in forever, users should contact the developer (if possible) to ask about updating for 64-bit. Lots of 32 bit apps still be around with no hope of being updated. I now have version FCPX 10.4.6 and it's running beautifully on High Sierra.This transition is going to be painful for some. Clicked on it, installation began and completed. FCPX came up in the search choices and this time, Instead of "upgrade", it now said "install". I then went back to the App store and this time searched for "Final Cut Pro X" in the search window (I did NOT go back to my Updates window.). My solution: I went into my apps folder, took FCPX and moved it to the trash. When I went to update my FCPX tonight (It's been at 10.2.1 for sooo long), I got the same message "Incompatible Update." The App Store was forcing me to upgrade to version 10.5.1, which would of course require me to also upgrade my OS to Mojave. I've been upgrading my old mid-2010 Mac Pro (new metal/RX580 GPU, amongst other things), and got it to High Sierra where I would like this machine to stay so that I can continue to also use CS6 for my photography work. I know this question was from a year ago and it's likely been resolved by the poster, one way or another, but I had the same situation and found a super simple solution that worked for me. Otherwise, follow Tom's advice If you can. I'm still on HS but now considering upgrading to Mojave mainly for the latest version of FCPX. I know it exists and I used to have the direct link, but access may be tied to Mac and Apple ID. ![]() If not, call Apple support and they may direct you to the appropriate download. ![]() From there, Apple does have FCPX10.4.6 (last version to work on High Sierra) on their servers and it may direct you to the proper version in App Store. Link in support document to older trial version. I believe that this page is still active and will allow you to download FCPX 10.2.3 free trial, not current version. I'm rocking on a 2012 rMBP and really want a new Mac, at least dreams are free. ![]() 10k $$$ should get you going well, but for me, not going to happen today. ![]() You are sporting a pretty old Mac, so performance will suffer, especially with high resolution media.
