Mavericks compatibility with older software

I'm wondering if
- MS Office 2008:Mac
- Adobe CS5 12.0.5
- Mac Keynote, Numbers, Pages '09
- Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
and various other apps running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 will run with Mavericks?
(excuse the pun)
If I need to buy all new software, I may be stuck w/ 10.6.8 - or deep in debt.
Thanks!

In all likelihood many will not.   Here is a link to a detailed exploration of what will and what won't work.

  • CS6 compatibility with older macs (2007-2008), using Mavericks 10.9

    I've heard about compatibility issues with older macs (2007-2008) when trying to run Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection CS6 with Mavericks 10.9. Right now I'm using CS6 on my existing mid-2007, with Mountain Lion, -works great, and I'm worried if I upgrade to Mavericks there may be problems (based on FAQs)
    I do lots of video editing/rendering and am looking into getting another back-up computer to speed up editing time. I'm looking at purchasing an older Apple Mac Pro Tower : 2008 : Xeon 8-core 2.8ghz : 16gb ram : 1TB hd. Will this run Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection CS6 if I'm using Mavericks 10.9? If not, why?
    Does the issue pertain to Mavericks with older macs, or is it CS6 with Mavericks, or what? Thanks!

    Mac 10.9.3 and CS6 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1480238 may help

  • No compatability with older printer hardware/software and no windows media center

    What can I say except that Microsoft is the only company that releases an inferior product after years of having a great product. Windows 8.1 and 8 would be fine if it were compatible with old hardware i.e. printers and had Windows Media Center. This is
    now a very bare bones product. I certainly won't be paying the $129 price tag for Windows Pro 8.1 pack, just to get media center - not when there's so many free alternatives around for that. In future, don't purchase a photo quality printer that costs a fortune.
    Buy a nasty cheap one with inexpensive cartridges, as eventually you won't be able to install the older software for your far superior printer i.e. Epson stylus photo 1270.  Sounds like a collusion with both Microsoft and Printer manufacturers to get
    folk purchasing hardware they don't want or need, while they're older hardware works just fine - it's the new operating systems that don't. No thank you.

    Hi,
    Please understand that Microsoft's partners have shared clear concerns over the costs associated with codec licensing for traditional media playback, especially as Windows 8 enables an unprecedented variety of form factors. Windows has addressed these concerns
    in the past by limiting availability of these experiences to specialized “media” or “premium” editions.  
    That's why the Media center is separated for additional cost.
    For the compatibility thing about older device, you can use the compatible mode to install the related driver on Windows 8 and 8.1 to get it work.

  • I am considering updating to Mountain Lion.  Have checked the website Roar for compatibility with other software; some OK; some have yet to be tested.  When will that testing be done?

    I am considering updating to Mountain Lion.  Have checked the Roar website for compatability with my existing software; some are OK, but Bridge and Picasa said to yet be tested for compatability.  When will this happen?

  • Mavericks compatibility with cs 4?

    Any experiences about Mavericks OSX compatibility with Adobe CS4 applications (Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator)?
    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and was planning to upgrade to Mountain Lion in order to use iCloud. But more importantly I am worried of how other applications will work. Apparently Apple doesn't even sell Mountain Lion anymore.
    I have Macbook Pro (late 2008/2009 model) with 4GB of RAM.
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, I discovered too late that Mavericks renders my CS4 dysfunctional. Like wsrphoto indicated, it won't open image files. It will open the Raw preview screen, but when you attempt to open a file from there... nothing. No image. Nor will it open jpgs. When you close Photoshop, however, it asks if you want to "save the file"... pointless.
    My visit to the Genius Bar only resulted in them telling me my computer was fine and if I wanted to go back to Lion, I'd have to wipe my computer clean. Grrr!
    It would have been nice for Apple - or Adobe -  to warn users that Mavericks would create this problem. It has profoundly disrupted my workflow and now I've either got to wipe my computer clean to downgrade back to Lion, or put out the money to buy CS6 - which I really didn't need. Not happy AT ALL.
    Upgrades shouldn't be suggested only to end up creating problems...

  • Files Created in Photoshop CC Not Compatable With Older Versions of Photoshop?

    I have heard that the new Photoshop CC uses a new file system that is not compatible with older versions of Photoshop so you can only edit them in the new Cloud version of Photoshop CC.  Is this true?

    i opened a fine in PSCS 13.1.2.I edited it a bit, converted a layer to a SO and used liquify on that layer.
    I saved it as a tiff. Did not try it as a psd.
    PSCS5 opened the tiff without complaint, including the SO+liquified layer. When i clicked on the liquify at bottom of the SO layer to try to edit it I got the notice "CANNOT FIND THE FILE", or something like that.
    So, I guess pscs5 is already done for.

  • Mavericks use with outher software?

    If i install Mavericks it tells me I can't use my previously installed Microsoft Office products.

    You will need either Office for Mac 2008 or 2011 for Mavericks compatibility. Which ever you have, you may need to reinstall it, and ensure that you are at the latest Office update version.

  • Visual Studio 2015 compatibility with older versions

    Hi,
    I have already installed Visual Studio 2010 and 2013 on my Windows Server 2012.
    I want to know can I install Visual Studio 2015 on same machine? is there possible any conflict with older version?
    I have many projects in old version and need to open and work on them too.  Thanks.

    You should be able to install Visual Studio 2015 alongside 2013 and 2010. However, I'd advise against it until the release version of Visual Studio 2015 becomes available. There may be issues down the road upgrading the preview version of VS 2015 with the final
    retail version.

  • Compatibility with Adobe software

    I've been using Photoshop and Canon EOS cameras for years.  Moved over to iMac about 5 years ago.  So I'm reasonably conversant with the first two areas but by no means am I the world's expert on using Macs - I use it mainly for Photoshop and internet.
    My question is more about how backward compatible these combinations are.  I realise this is an Apple forum but it's hard to know who to approach on my problem and I'm going round in circles at present.
    I have an iMac desktop running 10.6.8. with 2.8 Ghz processor and 4GB Ram - I know it's not the very latest but it does what I want it to and after all it's only just over 3 years old.  I run Photoshop CS6 on it (i.e. not the cloud version).  I also use a Macbook Air when going on photography trips, more as a hard drive for storage of RAW files.  This runs on 10.7.5. and I have Photoshop CS5 on there (the difference is only because I haven't bothered to load the upgrade to CS6 yet).  My cameras are EOS 1D Mk4 and newly acquired 7D Mk2.  I like to shoot everything in RAW.
    My EOS 1D works fine and I can open RAW images on both computers using Adobe Camera Raw.  The 7D Mk 2 is the problem.  Maybe Adobe hasn't issued the Adobe Camera Raw update yet but other forums seem to indicate it has (I believe it's 8.7.1) and clicking on the update tab in CS6 I'm told there are none to be downloaded.
    A workaround is to use a DNG convertor but when I load the latest update for that (again 8.7.1) on to my iMac running 10.6.8. it says I need to have an operating system that's 10.7 or later.  So my first question is - Does Apple not make these back compatible beyond a certain number of OS's - surely 10.6.8 isn't that ancient?  I'm reluctant to upgrade to later versions like Mavericks or Yosemite simply because of all the bits of hardware (2 photo printers) and software.  Also I've seen some scary stories on how Photoshop has been affected by these but maybe those issues have been resolved by now.
    Tried to load the latest DNG update on to my Macbook Air which is 10.7 but that won't work either.  The issue there might be because I haven't upgraded Photoshop CS5 to CS6 yet but I can do that.  My second question is - before I upgrade the Photoshop software will the DNG convertor work and will Adobe Camera Raw work and open my EOS camera images using a 10.7 OS?

    The Canon EOS 7D Mark II requires an  upgrade to  Yosemite for support.  Support was added with the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01  updater last November. 
    So if you want native support of that camera you'll need to upgrade to Yosemite if your Macs will support Yosemite. The following is from this Apple doucment: How to install OS X Yosemite on your Mac - Apple Support
    Before you install Yosemite, make sure you have one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)

  • OS X Mavericks Compatibility with 2009 Macbook Pro's

    Can anyone shed some light on compatibility of os x mavericks with a 2009 macbook pro? I heard that it may slow down my comuter? I just wanted to seek out some information before downloading it. If it just slows down my older mac, I have no use for it.

    Hey man I'm no Mac expert but what I'm about to say came from one. When each OS comes out there are always going to be ppl crying about them. I have been one of those ppl with past OS. However a guy from apple suggested something to me one time that I personally have found to work in the past and it worked again with mav to my surprise. Basically when you install any operating system apple will just upgrade what you have for you. I personally done understand why that is the root of the problem, but with mountain lion and mavericks I know all kinds of people with new macs who have upgraded and everything has just fallen apart. But the guy at apple hit said what you really need is a clean install. It's time consuming, it's tedious, you have to redownload all your programs and set your settings back but it's worth it. First move all of your files on to you to your hard drive that you want to keep. Then completely wipe your hard drive and follow forums on the Internet to do a clean install.  I have a 2009 Mac that  mavericks is working great on. No speed loss. I really like it.

  • Device software compatibility with server software

    We are currently in a beta mode syncing BlackBerry devices with an Exchange server using BlackBerry Manager 4.1.  One of our users wants to upgrage his device software from v4.3 to v4.5.  We are trying to determine if that will create any compatibility issues with the server software.
    Solved!

    hello,
    I don't think so, but should tjhat happen, you can downgrade back to 4.3.

  • Mavericks compatibility with NUDC

    After installing Mavericks my Now Up-to-Date software won't boot up. What should I do?

    What I found was that Now wasn't compatible with Mavericks and Now is "now" out of business. I researched calendar software that would work for my business (that would come closest to doing what Now did). (iCal doesn't do what I need it to do). The closest software was BusyCal. Busy Cal is capatible with Mavericks.

  • Mac Pro Compatibility With Older SATA Drives And DVI Connectors

    I soon plan to replace my 5 year old G5 with a new Mac Pro and need two questions answered so that I will know what options i have for the transfer of older data and apps. The Apple web site for the Mac Pro includes the following paragraph which gives me reason for concern:
    Your Mac Pro includes four drive bays, allowing you to configure it with
    up to 8 terabytes of storage using 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s drives, up
    to 2 terabytes of storage using high-performance solid-state drives, or
    any combination of each type of drive. Configure each drive bay
    separately.
    Does the phrase "using 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s drives" mean that the Mac Pro will ONLY work with 3Gb/s drives or that it performs best with 3Gb/s drives?
    I currently have two internal SATA 250/300 GB Maxtors (Maxtor 7Y250M0 and Maxtor 6B300S0... both are 7200 RPM but I don't know the data transfer speed). Ideally I would get a Mac Pro with a single 1 TB drive, move one or both of these older SATA drives to the new computer, one temporarily and the other permanently in order to transfer data and Apps to the new machine. If this is not possible then the new machine will need to wait until after I get a new larger FW external drive to use as a data transfer medium (I had planned to do that anyhow). I need to do some advance planning for this so I need to know what to expect in advance. I noticed this possible wording ambiguity on Apple's description of the Mac Pro long ago, but now I need to find out the answer for sure. Apple, you need to be more specific with your words.
    Can anybody answer this question for me?
    My second question regards display connectors. Does the standard (no bucks added) display card include a standard DVI connector or only the newer Mini-DVI connectors. I think I see a standard DVI connector in the low res picture of the back of the Mac Pro but am unsure. My 5 year old Apple display bit the dust a year ago and I had to replace it with an HP 2009m display (mumble grumble) which does use a standard DVI connector. A new Apple display is too rich for my blood so I plan to continue using the HP display for now and need to find out if I will need a display adapter to go with it.
    Many thanks to anyone who can answer these questions authoritatively.
    For anyone who asks why I still run 10.3.9 on my G5, I can only answer response speed. New OS versions always act like a lead anchor on a machine with their added overhead and Tiger really does feel like a ball and chain tied to me... it just does not reaspond as fast as I do. I look forward to the speed of a new machine.

    Any commercial sATA drive will do just fine. 7200 RPM is not a requirement.
    WD "Green" drives have caused user complaints about "long delay until ready" when installed inside a Mac Pro, but are fine for backups.
    You are making the leap from PowerPC to Intel Mac. Eventually, you should re-initialize your old drives to GUID partition table for best responsiveness.
    Migrating your System will not be possible. Use the pre-installed System or Install a new System on a GUID-partitioned drive with the release DVD in the box.
    Migrating your Applications is a Bad Idea. You should plan on re-installing all your third-party Applications from their release discs.
