This Mac replaces a Mac Pro 1,1 running Lion (10.7.5) which was as far as it could go. (I suspect that even if I take the Mac in, they might not be able to do the upgrade anyway.) They mentioned that while they had access to Apple the installers were part of one large bundle and they couldn't separate out just one OS and the bundle needed the Machine ID to perform an upgrade. They would not upgrade to an external disk, either. I did go to the Apple Store, with a flash drive in hand, but was told they needed the computer to do the install. (I had forgotten this was user user your reply to the OP left me the impression you had something to do with Apple. But because 'Stuff Happens', make sure any Mac you take with you is backed up. Again, it might be best to use an external disk as the Mavericks destination. If you have another Mac that is old enough to run Mavericks, take that Mac with you. You can also use SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner or Disk Utility -> Restore to transfer the contents of the bootable external disk to any other bootable partition you want. Then you can boot from the external disk when you get home.

We do not have any control over Apple policies.Ĭan you call the Apple store back and ask if they could do the install to an external disk, where you ONLY bring the disk with you. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. I know I am not the only person in this situation is there any way that Apple could reintroduce the Mavericks update? Was the OS really so bad that Apple doesn't want anyone to use it ever again? That is definitely not the best solution - I live miles away from the closest store and since the computer is the heart of my audio studio I would need to have at least one day off to tear it down, take it in, then add it back into the system.

I talked to a manager at a local Apple store and after consulting with his techs he told me that they could do the update if I brought in my Mac Pro. Without paying for a full upgrade to PT 12 I thought my best bet would be to go to the one OS version both companies could agree on, Mavericks, only to find that option barred to me.

On the other hand, DropBox has decided to drop support for Mac OS Mountain Lion or below. Now, Pro Tools 10 cannot run on anything past Mavericks with any certainty (actually, it's a disaster), although it worlks well with Mavericks. I also use DropBox to send music to clients and collaborators (mostly the latter these days. I use this machine for Pro Tools v.10.3.10. Here's my situation: I have a 2010 Mac Pro 5,5, running Mountain Lion (and Sierra on a separate drive). Sierra is limited to the following machines:

MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer).

The requirements for Mountain Lion and El Capitan are: Your only other upgrade is Mountain Lion (10.8) which is available in the USA (but not the UK) in the Apple Store: Note that if your Mac is capable of handling Sierra this link is not available to you. If it isn't, but is capable of handling El Capitan you can upgrade to that using this special link: If your Mac is capable of handling Sierra you can upgrade to that for free. The update makes your Mac more stable and faster in performance.I'm afraid Mavericks is no longer available.
