Can you run 10.8.5 on the new MacBookPro11,1 (Late 2013) laptop?

My company is getting new stock of MacBooks, and I need to know if it will still run 10.8.5?  I've got some apps in our build that are not yet working on 10.9, and it would be a shame if we wouldn't be able to use the new hardware.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X 10.8.5 hasn't got the drivers to run on new computers, so you can't use OS X 10.8.5 on a new MacBook Pro.
If you need OS X 10.8.5, you can buy Mid 2012 MacBooks Pro, which still come with OS X Mountain Lion. Then, when you want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks, you will be able to do it free of charge

  • Can I install a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB into the new iMac late 2013?

    Hi There,
    1)   Can a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD be installed in the new iMac late 2013 model?  (My plan is to remove the existing 1TB HDD and replace with the Samsung SSD)
    1.1)  I have heard somewhere, even though it will fit, Apple's logic board firmware will pick up the non-apple product and render the iMac useless until original hard drive is reinstalled.
    1.2)  If it will work, will I loose my warranty on iMac?  Note, the SSD will be installed by an Apple authorized workshop. 
    2)     Can 2x 2.5 sata drives be installed in the iMac? 
    2.1)  I know the iMac only has 1x SATA and 1x PCIe slot, but can one not install a PCIe - SATA converter and also a 2x 2.5 drive bay in the place of the existing         3.5" drive?
    Thanks for your assistance.
    Regards,
    asdutoit

    I checked on the Samsung website and the 840 Pro is OSX compatible and should work in your MBP.

  • Can you run a wired router from the base station?

    I have a Airport Extreme base station, I bought it about 6 months ago so it's not too old. My question is can you plug a wired switch, hub or router into it? I was told no at the apple store but I don't see why you could not. All I want to do is run a 8 port switch from the base station so I can connect my other wired comps to the net. Thanks!

    My question is can you plug a wired switch, hub or router into it?
    Yes, just connect it to the LAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    I was told no at the apple store...
    They gave you incorrect information.

  • Can you run a different user on the managed server than the admin server?

    Under unix, can I run a Weblogic 7 managed instance as a different user than the
    admin server in the same domain? If not, any reference docs on BEAs site?

    That shouldnt pose a problem.

  • Can you get a free download of the new Pages through the appstore if you already have an earlier version of iworks from a disk?

    I have loaded mountain lion on my iMac and have an old version of iWorks on my machine.  It appears that all my Pages documents won't open unless I get the new version of Pages off the App store.  Does anyone know if that is a free download if you already have purchased iWorks previously on disk?  Thanks.

    No. The iWork (no 's') apps are a separate purchase. You should not have to buy any of the '09 apps again to work in Mountain Lion, you just need to update them.
    iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
    But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone updater here.

  • Can I run an external display off the new LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt.

    I currently run FCP 7 on a brand new MacBook Pro. I use the Thunderbolt port into a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter (third party) to run an external Asis 27" display. It all works quite well. But...
    Right now I use a LaCie d2 Firewire 800 external HD as my scratch but would like to upgrade to the new LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt. I want to then run my external display (still using the adapter) off the second Thunderbolt port on the 2Big. Is this possible? My local Apple authorized store was very sceptical although they had never tested it, in fact, they haven't even sold a 2Big yet.
    Has anyone done this? Am I going in the right direction. I don't want to pop for the 2Big (+$500) and find out the setup can't be done.
    Thanks

    Yes, I've demo'd this a lot.  Thunderbolt out of a computer, to the drive, looped to a monitor.  AND!!  Thunderbolt to an AJA IoXT for broadcast monitoring, back out to the drive, then the drive to a computer display.
    Boggles the mind, but it works

  • Can you attach an external HD to the new iMac with a fusion drive?

    I'm trying to decide how to configure the new iMac I am going to buy. Can you attach an external HD to an iMac with a fusion drive?  I'm assuming it would be fine, but since the fusion drive is new, I don't want a nasty surprise.   Some of the new Mac Minis now have fusion drives, so has anyone added an external drive to it?

    This was a concern expressed in this thread: Worrying reply to Apples FAQ on new Fusion Drive
    However, Apple has since amended the FAQ, clarifying their earlier Fusion confusion.
    Therefore I believe the answer is yes, you can add an external USB HD. If Apple would only state that explicitly in this document, it would eliminate all doubt.

  • I lost my 4 digit ipad 2 password. How can I retrieve a new password to reset it? Can you sent to my email address the new password?

    Admin can you help me on this?
    I am in Malaysia, shall I sent this to an apple store to get it done?

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Can you get wireless hard drives for the new ipad as apple again havent increased the size

    someone has mentioned that you can get wireless hard dives for the ipad.....this would be beneficial as yet again apple have not increased the size of the maximum hard drive of their new "soon to be released" ipad.....thanks Lee

    The wireless "drives", which are more truly media streamers rather than true file storage, continue to be an optiono for the new iPad just as it was for the previous versions. Confirm compatibility with iOS 5.1 before purchasing, just in case the product might need an update for the new version of iOS.
    Regards.

  • Why can't I play games on my brand-new iMac late 2013?

    Every time I try to play a game on my iMac, the screen looks like it freezes or lags so I cannot even close the game, or even close the iMac, so all I can do is force shut down it. Any suggestions except giving it back to the store I bought it? Did I spend 2249 Euros for nothing?

    For Grand Theft Auto, the only version I found that "Officially" still run native on the Mac and are in the Mac App Store are Grand Theft Auto II I released in 2010-2011 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City released in 2012.
    The more recent versions of GTA IV and V are PC ONLY. NO official Mac OS X version for these.
    There are no other versions available on the Mac App Store! so those should run on your Mac with little issues as it is designed to run on OS X 10.6.6 and later OS X versions.
    From the GTA website posted in Feb 2014,
    https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200147266-Macintosh-system-r equirements-and-specifications-for-Grand-Theft-Auto-III-Vice-City-and-San-Andrea s
    AND, the GTA web link does not mention any support for OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 OR 10.10.
    So, I am not sure what versions of these games you purchased and where, but it would appear the recent versions of these games are NOT OS X supported.
    You would need to install the proper version of Windows on your Mac to play these games.
    If you are running the latest Tomb Raider that is available on the Mac App Store either Tomb Raider Essential or Tomb Raider Underworld, both should be able to run on your Mac. Tomb Raider Underworld runs on OS X 10.6.6 or later and Tomb Raider Essentials runs on OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks and later.
    You might be having issues with these on OS X 10.10 Yosemite as users are still having issues with the new OS X.
    Did you ever play these under OS X 10.9 Mavericks?.
    I suspect issues with these games under Yosemite as Yosemite, itself, uses more hardware overhead. Based on numerous issues posted here about Yosemite, seems Yosemite is more taxing on both RAM and the GPU.

  • DDR3 or DDR3L? for the new iMac (late 2013)

    Can someone help me?...
    Thanks a lot!

  • Can you run a PC Synth via the PC Emulator, on a MAC Version of Logic?

    Hey guys,
    Odd question here ...
    I've got OSX 10.6.4 .
    I have Logic Pro 9 on it.
    I have a PC version of Nexus however.
    I've heard you can run PC programs on your Mac by getting some kind of PC emulator. I think it's Flip4Mac or something?
    Would that be a solution for running the Nexus? Running it on the "PC" portion, but then using Logic Pro on the MAC portion, with the Nexus?
    I've never used an emulator so I have no idea if this is possible or just an absolutely ridiculous question
    Thanks guys,
    --Sean

    No.
    Does Nexus come in the Mac flavor?
    flip4mac is a playback codec for windows videos. It is not an emulator.
    Crossover is good. Boot Camp is good.
    But... you will not be able to send and recieve MIDI nor audio between the two operating systems when used within the same computer.
    Cheerio
