![]() 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.
