Here are the models of Macs that are compatible with macOS 10.12 and can upgrade to Sierra:ĭoes order matter when you upgrade macOS? Good luck.How to upgrade macOS: Sierra 10.12 compatibility listĪs with the previous versions, macOS Sierra is available for a limited list of Mac models. Just my experience because the reality is that you have the choice to freeze your computer where it's at if you don't upgrade, especially if you have any iPhones or iPads, or bite the bytes to keep accessing software updates or upgrades.
Adobe's GoLive 9 continues to work without any issues or problems. I still use CS 5, 5.5 and 6 apps (last CS apps to work on Yosemite) because CC apps aren't better for my work. What I've found more interesting is Adobe's Creative Cloud (CC) Suite apps are bigger and slower to open with Yosemite, including opening files. Datacolor's Spyder Gallery uses bluetooth which works on my iPad Air but not my iPhone 5s. Bluetooth broke on some iPhones with IOS 8 and OS-X Yosemite and two updates hasn't fixed it. Mostly I've found Yosemites's problemes are due to it becoming too complex and not being thoroughly tested and debugged, and then fixed before being released.Ĭlearly Apple developers are more interested in introducing new stuff than fixing any old and some introduced stuff. This poses problems with some third-party applications which requires Spotlight, but I've learned to live without those apps. Apple App Store and iTunes are notorious for the entries when you open them to when you close them.Īs for Spotilight, the fix is simple, just exclude all the SSD's and HD's on the Mac so it doesn't see anything. If you don't check the console log, you should, because you'll find OS-X itself and Apple apps along with some apps generate endless log entries with advisories, warnings and some faults, which Apple or the app developers don't trap very well. I don't use the iCloud backup on my iPhone or iPad and I minimize iCloud sync and storage to a few Apple and other apps. It loves cpu memory, especially after booting or restarting, so become familiar with the purge command and/or have lots of memory to accommodate the file cache, often getting out of hand.
I've been running Yosemite since it's introduction with every update, and while it has some good things and fixes some old problems, it also introduced new problems where, for the first time with OS-X, I had to reinstall it twice to fix them, but overall it's worth the upgrade with some caveats.
