Max 7, Mac OS 10.?
Hey, will Max 7 still work on my good-old-yet-reliable(kinda) 10.6.8 ? In the light of a lot of things that have ceased to function with their latest updates on this OS, I was wondering that ; and also if I was a lone fool of living in such a prehistoric era - Max Mac users, what OS are you working with ?
Hi vichug,
on Mavericks (10.9) and very satisfied. If nessecary i'd say upgrading to 10.8 as a min version. 10.7 is also not supported by apple anymore. so no (security) bug fixes on earlier versions ...
j
is it really a problem that there is no more security fixes, as long as there is no known threat ? there is a lot of stuff that i won't be able to update if i ever upgrade, so i'd better delay an update until as late as possible.
I'd say that depends on what you are using the laptop for besides for creation. There are a number of potential exploits that were not fixed for 1.6. anymore. This is just out of my memory and i didn't verify it. I think there were issues with the HTTP protocol, the FontParser, the png/jpeg bug? the recently discovered bash/terminal bug ...
And isn't the latest Safari version available Safari 5? Well I am quite concerned/aware about the security on my main machine because I use it for practically everything. But do use older systems on other computers. So in my point of view i wouldn't do online banking or payments on 10.6.8 anymore. But I am sure there are many other points of views out the.
i rarely use Safari, mostly on Firefox. You may be right on the security part however...
