Hi Folks, what is the latest MAC OS that is compatible with Pro Tools 11.3.1 (even if it’s not officially listed as compatible?)
Thx!

The last officially compatible per the Avid chart is OSX 10.10.3.
However I'm running PT11.3.2 on OSX 10.12.6; the only issue I've run into is that importing audio via the menu doesn't work. Drag and drop from Finder does work for importing audio. Now I don't know if this will work with PT11.3.1 as PT11.3.2 added support for OSX 10.10.5

Great, thank you! Is it possible to download older Mac Operating systems?

Not usually. Maybe some kind soul can help you out if they have a large enough DropBox or other such type account. Also Amazon might have something but you'll need a dvd drive. Check this out:
For OSX 10.9.5

For OSX 10.10.x
https://www.amazon.com/Mac-10-10-Yos...s=oSX+Yosemite
for the latter this might be OSX 10.10.0 and to get OSX 10.10.5 Google for the OSX 10.10.5 combo updater and apply that after you install OSX 10.10.0

Amazon might also have something on a thumb drive. Worth a look at the Amazon site.

I'd like to make a suggestion: before you do anything to your system (and assuming it's working for the most part) make a clone backup on an external hard drive. I use Carbon Copy Cloner to do the deed. That way if something goes wrong you'll have a way to get back to a working system.

Besides clones/backups are good insurance anyway. Not quite as cheap as ZDT coverage on your iLok but definitely worth it.

Already cloned my system on an external drive via Super Duper But thanks for the great advice!
