Yeah, the installer won't work on Mavericks as Avid stated here.

I would think you could just install Mountain Lion over top of Mavericks but I haven't tried it myself.

It was only just released a few days ago, it is obviously not going to support a lot of third party software yet, that is common sense. Do you run time machine? If not you will have to do a clean install of 10.8

yeah i guess I'm not fully into specs and updates .. i just thought it was a new update that wuz for new apps like iCloud maps safari iTunes ect. had noo clue in hell this would affect my pro tools.. wow.. makes me a stupid fool and ill never every update again.. this is bullSh*t .. like how tha hell would a person know? i didn't think to search n review about it.. but I guess u learn the hard way and next time I'm not upgrading to [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep].. [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep] I'm pissed at apple for that. and mad at myself for doing the stupid upgrade.anwayz i warn all people who are thinking of doing this.. STOP and DONT! otherwise u might have to back up everything on your desktop and they will clean your whole system out! now i gotta wait till tomorrow!! F***CK@@#@##

I'm sure a patch for PT will be out soon. For future reference always run time machine or manual backup (Like carbon copy clone), especially when doing such a major upgrade

yeah i watched a video on optimize your computer for pro tools .. and he said time machine was supposed to be off.. for better pro tools sessions.. i have no idea how it works or what to do.. cuz i use a external hard drive.. and never messed with time machine.. what exactly does it do?

yeah i phoned tha apple guys and he told me to back up everything cuz they gotta reinstall the older version i had back and its gonna be all new again .. so i just backed up everything i had on my hard drive to external .. and wait till tomorrow.. this really is a downer .. I'm never gonna upgrade .. screw that noise.. lesson learned!! i guess a person didn't think that this would have faulty issues with pro tools.. but wow now i know NEVER EVER Doin this again!

I would have to disagree with this. If you are worried about it just schedule the backups to occur during a time when you are not working with Pro Tools. Time machine is one of OS X's best features and is incredibly easy to setup.

Follow the instructions on the apple site to setup time machine, but you basically insert a blank disk and switch time machine on!

I agree on the recommendation that AUTOMATIC time machine should be off, because you never know when it's going to start and mess up your PT performance. But you can still use time machine manually. Choose a backup disk and after first backup turn it off. Then later on, just click on the grey time machine symbol and choose back up now. Easy. And you decide when to back up, not your computer.

Never update your OS without checking that all of your apps are compatible

Never trust any company that sells an OS (or gives it away)
