I have a decade's worth of Ableton Live projects, depending on a decade's worth of plugins, some of which will never be updated to 64-bit* Posted by Merus at 2:17 PM on Octoįor anyone using music software, this is a huge headache. Now, this has meant that Windows has a backwards-compatibility shim that lets the very first version of SimCity use different rules for memory allocation, but it's also meant that games and apps from the last decade still work on the latest version of the operating system. They're going to get a refund on Windows. One of the more well-known members of the Windows team explained their reasoning: if a new version of Windows breaks backwards compatibility because an app is doing something it shouldn't, the user can't get a refund on their old app that works in the old version. Microsoft can't do this kind of thing because they sell software, not hardware. It's not surprising - Apple have never, ever cared about backwards compatibility, and there's countless examples of important and useful applications throughout the history of Macs and iPhones falling by the wayside because Apple changed something and expected everyone to do a huge amount of work to keep up - but it still sucks. * reFX, makers of QuadraSid/Slayer/Vanguard, have told users of their old plugins to go whistle, while other plug-ins, including things like AAS Strum, were replaced by improved versions which are not preset-compatible and cannot import the previous versions' settings. Of course, all this will be repeated in a year or two's time when Apple make the move from x86-64 to ARM. I hope that they bring ones with less sucky keyboards out soon. Of course, given that I also write code for iOS/macOS, I'm going to have to move to Catalina at some point, which I'm guessing brings forward the next MacBook purchase. I've spent much of my tooling-about-in-Live time this year going through old sets, seeing what I can salvage, what can be mixed down to audio stems, what can be turned into a workable Drum Rack/Sampler instrument, what can be replicated (reFX Vanguard patches are very hard if not impossible to replicate with other synths), and come to the conclusion that, for the purposes of being able to access old projects, my existing MacBook stays on 10.14 (and, eventually, will join my MacOS Classic Titanium PowerBook and OSX/PPC PowerBook in the old-laptop cupboard).
I have a decade's worth of Ableton Live projects, depending on a decade's worth of plugins, some of which will never be updated to 64-bit*. So thanks for the efforts, but this particular file is not complete.For anyone using music software, this is a huge headache. It appears other versions of 10.6 are larger than this 5.2 GB file. So if you do not have the very specific install discs for your very specific Apple hardware product, you might not have the correct drivers. In addition, not all Mac OS X discs are the same even if they have the same version numbers because drivers for devices installed in the iMac are sometimes different than drivers for devices in a MacBook Pro, for a Mac Mini, vs other Apple products. And without the correct Bootcamp WINDOWS drivers installed in your Windows version, it will not be completely functional. And all efforts to find a way to install Bootcamp Windows drivers without the original UNTOUCHED 10.6 Retail DVD have failed. But that is what is missing from this 10.6 DVD. If the Windows partition is present on the DVD, then the Bootcamp SETUP.EXE file will appear and all is good. Then following the prompts you install your Windows OS.Īfter the Windows OS is installed you are supposed to remove the Windows DVD you are using, then insert this Mac OS 10.6 DVD again while you are within Windows. Then run the Bootcamp Assistant in the Mac OS Utilities folder. To install Windows, you first install the Mac OS. But to install the Windows partition this IMG file is incomplete. So if your goal is the Mac OS only, this is fine. What I suspect happened is that this disc copied the Mac OS partition correctly but did not copy the Windows partition correctly. However, when I went to use the Bootcamp Assistant to install Windows, the Bootcamp Windows drivers were missing and it seems impossible to download them independently. Burned to a DVD-DL and worked like a charm to install the Mac OS.
