Default Mac OS 10.8.5 compatibility with PT 10.7.5

Thanks everyone. Thinking of upgrading from Mac OS 10.3.1 to Mac OS 10.8.5
I am using PT 10.3.10.
Will my system work well with Mac OS 10.8.5?
I use Focusrite Sapphire Liquid 56 as my interface.
Thanks again.
scott

What Mac do you have?

It says Computer : 10.7.5

We need to know what Mac computer and what ram, drives etc

10.8.5 works with PT 10.3.10 and Focusrite have good support with drivers so you should be good depending on your Computer. If you have OS 10.3.1 now it has to be a very old Mac, in your signature it says 10.7.5 so very confusing info here, depending on your Mac model it might be unusable for PT and 10.8.5

Looking at the op's profile he has a bit of conflicting info on what exact OSX version he has but the profile shows he has a mid-2011 21.5 inch iMac (the smaller version of the machine I have). Those machines originally shipped with OSX 10.6.6; they can use the latest OSX version. So OSX 10.8.5 is very doable and is stable with PT10.3.10.

The sticky point will be getting OSX 10.8.5. Try calling Apple customer support at USA - 1-800-275-2273 (not an Apple Store) and say you need to purchase a copy of an old OSX version. Also don't waste time looking for OSX 10.8.5 on the AppStore as well - you won't find it.
