Should I upgrade? to - Mac OS 10.8 and / or Premiere Pro CS 6

So I'm currently on Premiere Pro 5.5.2 and Mac OS 10.7.3
The reason I have not upgraded to 10.8 is I have heard in the forums that there are problems, specifically with AVCHD and not being able to re-establish links once they are broken after import because of how Mac 10.8 works. Is this an insurmountable solution? If so that is quite disappointing, i think the problem was reported several months ago?
And the reason I have not upgraded to Premiere Pro CS 6 is that
1) There are no reports that it is any faster than 5.5.2 - just better GUI (though I'm ok with 5.5.2)
2) I doesn't do well with spanned AVCHD clips (pretty much 80% of what I do)
So any advice on either of these 'upgrades'? It has been a while (like months) for both of these issues.
Thank you!

5.5 isn't certified for 10.8, and the spanning bug is still there.  So it may be best to wait a bit.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • Upgraded to Mac OS 10.6 and now printers don't work ?

    Upgraded to Mac OS 10.6 and now my canon printer and doesn't work .
    I installed the print drivers from both Apple and Canon, received this message that says this extension is installed incorrectly:
    system/Library/Extensions/CNQL4801_ClassicNotSeize.kext
    Have checked the boards and net , but with no solution... help !

    this extension is installed incorrectly:
    system/Library/Extensions/CNQL4801_ClassicNotSeize.kext
    That is most likely a Classic (OS 9) extension file that requires Rosetta to work in OS 10.6. If you are using the latest Canon driver then you may not need it as users state in this Apple forum thread.

  • Since upgrading my Mac OS 10.9 and Mavericks, I am unable to open App Store and other problems.

    My computer has gone haywire since upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 and adding Mavericks. Mail was a big problem with my not being able to read messages, but now there has been a mail upgrade to solve that. However, still cannot open App Store from my Dock and cannot open Software Update from the apple menu. Lots of other screwy things going on and Apple seems of no help to try and resolve these issues. Anyone with similiar problems or issues?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work.  What can I do??

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

  • Should I upgrade to 10.4.3?  and QT 7.03?

    And now I am seeing posts asking how to downgrade to 10.4.2?
    Are most people having no problems with the updates?
    What is the best way to update to 10.4.3 etc? Via on-line software update? Or by manually downloading and installing the updates?

    I have been running OS X 10.4.3 since it was released on three Macs (no problems). I also have the latest versions of QT and iTunes installed. I always use software update and allow OS X to select the relevant updates.
    As a precaution, run permission repair before and after software updates. Also, I suggest you have a good backup/retreat strategy. I make bootable clones of both my iMacs on an external firewire drive (using SuperDuper - www.shirt-pocket.com - $20 US).
    You will find that people who post here have real problems, but they are normally not representative of the Mac user community as a whole. It is roughly akin to visiting a hospital and seeing that all people are sick.
    If your current system is stable, you should be able to update without problems.
    Best of success.

  • I have upgraded my mac air to Loin and after that my machine is too slow and stucks like windows any help?

    I have upgraded my mac air to loin 10.7.2 and after the upgrade it is slow any suggestions?

    If you made a backup before installing lion, now would be a good time to restore that backup.... Ok, well you can always boot into lion recovery menu.... shut down your mac, hold down the option key and restart your computer..... Select recovery from the disk startup menu and go to disk utility... select the OSX disk, you can try repairing your permissions and repairing the disk.... If you lucky enough, it will fix it.... If not, and you have a decent internet connection, click the reinstall LION OSX after exiting disk utility. Your mac will now REDOWNLOAD LION OSX and reinstall it.... did you happen to make a backup before?
    Also, did your mac originally have Leopard? Just curious... Because LION is entirely 64bit now where as Snow leopard had support for 32 bit as well, but the problem may be that some of your older apps where 32 bit.... This is just a guess though I'm not sure.... Because I've had numerous problems and crashes with my CS 4 stuff and final cut pro 7 and aperature.... Not sure if it's totally related to the whole 64 bit thing, but the thing is that the crashes are only occuring on my 32 bit apps.... otherwise the computer runs great.... To remedy, I had previously made an OSX lion USB drive so that I could do a fresh install of LION. I backed up all my data and files, installed a new SSD and my Macbook is SCREAAAAAAMING fast.... Sorry about the gloating but I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of your problem....

    Yes I've checked with Roxio and they are not offering an update to Popcorn 4.
    If you can get hold of a version of iLife '11 including iDVD, it would serve you well. Roxio's flagship burning program Toast Titanium is extremely good as well, although not as flexable as iDVD IMHO.

  • Upgraded to windows 7 64 strange behavour CS4 Premiere Pro

    Hi,
    I upgraded to windows 7 64 and are using Premiere pro CS4 for the first time on this system.
    I noticed when I click the minus sign (at the top right) to temporarily close the program the little icon shows up at the bottom of the screen like it does with any program on  Windows 7.
    But unfortunately when I try to let it appear on screen again nothing happens. I have to reboot the system to get it working again.
    Also the timeline starts flickering when I play a sequence is this normal?!

  • Should I upgrade to Mac OS X Lion?

    Seeing as the new iCloud integration by Apple requires Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2 specifically), I was thinking about upgrading from Snow Leopard.  My main applications are Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 (latest versions for both).  I saw a document from Adobe describing some Lion bugs and also noticed some posts in this forum.  Can someone who is running Lion and Photoshop CS5/Lightroom give me an overall impression of whether it is worth it to upgrade from Snow Leopard?  In daily use, will I run into many issues?  I want iCloud but I don't want to introduce problems with the Adobe apps I use the most.  Thanks.

    Hello Howie,
    If its a production machine, and you have no back-up combo? This is my experience:
    I'm a professional photographer. I run Photoshop CS5 on a new Mac Mini Server running Lion. I find it difficult to get a professional workflow with this combo because i have big issues with brushes not working properly, as mentioned in these threads: (and in threads on the Apple Forum)

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3943355
    I contacted Apple here in the Netherlands (phone helpdesk) and lead them to these threads. They said they had never heard of it (not even their technical second line). Even though an Adobe employee in these threads aknowledges the problems?!
    I contacted Adobe here in the Netherlands, they said it was an Apple issue and should be solved with 10.7.2. Dowloaded 10.7.2. yesterday but that didn't fix it.
    People here at the forum suggest that it has to do with the Apple driver for the Intel HD 3000 Graphic Card. Looks like Apple engineers are so bussy with getting even the basic stuff working with Lion that the problems with (third party?) applications have to wait.
    (I haven't even mentioned al the other big bugs i experience: wifi dropping constantly, sleep problems, wake problems, external screen wake-up problems)
    This is the worst upgrade i ever did. I've been using Mac for 20 years now, always was like an ambassador for them. I like the new Mail for the rest I'm verry dissapointed. . .  .
