Final Cut Pro not updating?

Unfortunately, my hard drive had a minor failure, and it didn't want to start up.

On the bright side, I did get to downgrade quicktime since I had to completely reinstall leopard.

Anyway, I reinstalled Final Cut, and I tried to open up an application from a while ago, but it said that that file was opened with a newer version of Final Cut Pro. Now, I'm aware that this happens, that's not my question.

My question is, if I already did the latest software updates and everything, how come my Final Cut Pro is still stuck at 6.0?

MacBook Pro, 17", 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 100GB 7200rpm HD
FCS2, FCP 6.0.

could it be that my quicktime isn't up to date? I'm purposefully keeping it at 7.2.1 since I'm using P2 and After effects, so 7.3 and 7.4 are out of the question.

Any ideas? Help would be much appreciated, guys.
 
The latest FCP is 6.0.2. I went through the same thing not too long ago. Had to go find it on Apple web site. Make sure you have all the pro app updates too. Is quicktime 7.3 an issue with p2 and after effects. I'm using neither, just curious.
 
If I remember correctly,

QT 7.3 is an issue with P2 (if you have FX Factory Plug Ins) which I might have got a trial of, but I don't think so. They certainly don't show up in my FCP menus.

QT 7.4 is an issue with After Effects, since you can only render for 10 minutes before QT realizes the QT movie you're making isn't authorized or something. It's trying to be smart DRM but its just being a nuisance.

I'm on 7.2.1, and I have a dmg of 7.3.1 ready to go, if I decide to take the plunge, which I might... No rush though.

Another thought... There are rumors of a new MacBook Pro coming out (Feb 12th we hope?) and rumors about when the new Leopard OS Update 10.5.2 will come. We're guessing they'll come around the same time, so the new MBP's will probably ship with 10.5.2. I'm a little worried if they're going to include QT 7.4 with those new macbook pro's. Then again, it's only a minor update...

Either way, I'm getting one.
