I have to wonder if some people who haven't upgraded in time end up buying a new computer because of it, what do you think?
#AVID PRO TOOLS FOR MAC 10.8 UPGRADE#
I'm suspecting that Apple expects you just to buy a new computer if you haven't upgraded in their "limited upgrade availablity time frame". Sure enough, like you said, Amazon has it on a disc. Wow, Apple is unforgiving!! That version: no longer available in the Apple store. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known where/how to get Yosemite. Of all the steps I tried (reinstalling Reaktor, etc.) the only thing that worked was to use the clone to restore my system drive. I do my clones on a weekly basis on Friday mornings and luckily I had today's clone done before I applied the Reaktor update.

Just today I had to resort to my clone because an update to Native Instruments Reaktor 5 didn't work as it should. You can never go wrong with having a clone of your system drive. Also what Amazon has may well be the last versions of whatever OSX you want which is what you want anyways.Ĭarbon Copy Cloner is a great program but you have to take the tie to digest what it does keeping in mind what you want to do and what your clone drive is. You may get lucky being able to get the OSX versions needed from Apple but Amazon is a better way although you have to pay for it. The older versions are no longer directly available on the Apple Store.

The reason I mention keeping the old/existing OSX install is for the very reason you mention - in case something goes bad or thee new OSX doesn't work for you. Looking forward to your next highly informed reply! Want to make sure I do this thing right the first time! In that case, I can clone directly onto an external drive, correct? You did mention Carbon Copy Cloner gives you that option, but you "process" suggested other steps. You may be able to get dvd's from Amazon -" does this mean that Yosemite 10.10, 10.10.1Īnd Mavericks 10.9.5 are no longer available on the Apple store?ĭon't know that my system has enough room. Regarding what you said here: "Probably your biggest issue is getting the OSX versions you want.

So, what is the reason you recommend keeping the older mac os versions on the partitioned drive? Is that just in case the newer version creates problems with your system? Thanks so much for your phenomenal advice with step by step instructions. You may be able to get dvd's from Amazon - give it a look. Probably your biggest issue is getting the OSX versions you want. When that was done I had clones of all three partitions on an external 4TB drive. The only issues there was Waves needed an update. When I did the OSX 10.10.5 partition I installed OSX clean but used Migration Assistant to bring all my programs and such over. When I did the OSX 10.9.5 partition I did a clean install of everything. I did that on my old iMac and actually had three boot partitions: OSX 10.8.5, OSX 10.9.5 and OSX 10.10.5 and PT11.3.2 OSX 10.8.5 was the original OSX. If your system drive is big enough create a second partition and put the new OSX there leaving the existing partition alone. Word to the wise - before you do anything make a clone of your system using a program like Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone to an external drive. Put it this way - it doesn't hurt to be a computer geek. I've done things both ways with varying success but then again I keep on top of my system and know what to do to make things work.
However there are people that have had success doing it the 'Apple Way' and installing the new OSX right over the top of the old one. In general doing an OSX upgrade the 'Apple Way' aka an in-situ upgrade is not a good thing doing a 'clean install' is often touted as the way to go where everything is installed from fresh and no using Migration Assassin (aka Migration Assistant) to bring programs over.
It depends on how you do the OSX upgrade - that's all. I have just found this information on Avid's site that Protools 11.3.2 is compatible with the following osx versions: Yosemite 10.10, 10.10.1ĭon't know where you saw that. Feel like I'm now running a very outdated version of Mac OS but I don't want to encounter issues with Protools 11.3.2 Has anything changed for the better so I can finally upgrade. Everything I've read in the past on here states that it is NOT a good idea to upgrade.
