it never occurred to me that Apple would restrict access to Mavericks Silly me. I cloned its boot drive then moved it into a free drive slot in the 2010 Mac Pro, from where I was able to update to Mtn. I suspect that even if I take the Mac in, they might not be able to do the upgrade anyway.) This Mac replaces a Mac Pro 1,1 running Lion (10.7.5) which was as far as it could go. They mentioned that while they had access to Apple the installers were part of one large bundle and they couldnt separate out just one OS and the bundle needed the Machine ID to perform an upgrade. My mistake Sorry.) 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 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 doesnt want anyone to use it ever again Thanks, - Colin.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.

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, its a disaster), although it worlks well with Mavericks.
