Doesn't seem right, or show much consideration, or foresight, does it?What Macbook Pro or iMac cost $7K? We know which Mac Pro was dropped, due to having only 32bit EFI support. The poor iMac and big Mac and macfish notebook users can only use option 1). You'd better believe that if I had spent $7k on one I'd 1) be furious 2) start tearing that sucker down and finding hardware it can be retrofitted with.
It would seem Apple could supply a different subsystem. There are some 32 bit EFI components they used too. These machines will never run Mtn Lion as shipped, not without a different graphics driver. I don't have the list, but there are macs people purchased about 3 years ago, including some high end mac pros, that rely on 32 bit Kexts for their graphics. With a bit of work, you can upgrade to ML (maybe not ALL machines.) Google it. There was a 64 bit kext from an older DP of an earlier OS X version floating around that people have used to get it running in 64 bit mode. Even macs with integrated Intel X3100 graphics can work on ML. Doesn't seem right, does it?Actually, there are ways to make them work. You'd better believe that if I had spent $7k on one I'd 1) be furious 2) start tearing that sucker down and finding a video card it can run with.
It would seem Apple could supply a different graphics card. You can start here.Ĭonfirmed: Mountain Lion incompatible with some 64bit Macs > Comments I use CogX & Foobar2000 as my primary audio players on OSX & Windows otherwise.and manage my libraries myself even after all these years.ĭo a little research. In fact I only use iTunes for the occasional client job, occasionally grabbing a song or album I can't get elsewhere, and for my iPhone. However the only reason I can see for insisting on tying a future release to Mavericks (or etc) though is because ProKit & GPU driver updates tend to come with each OSX release (rather than individual package updates like with 10.6.x & before).Īnyway not sure why you bring iTunes & phones into this.I have plenty of music apps that can connect to my iPhone's iTunes database without using iTunes and you can backup over the air as well as to iTunes. The driver changes in 10.8 & ProKit would have to be tested & developed for 10.7.which was already legacy when Logic X debuted. The version of ProKit in 10.8.4 is required for Logic X, and so 10.7 support is buggy.
Logic X doesn't support anything that doesn't run 10.8.4+.but there are reasons for this. Logic 9 *did* eventually drop support for G5's and PowerPC.
