What's the most current and stable PT/OSX combo?
I'm still running OSX 10.8.3 and PT 10.3.5. It's been stable the past year, but OSX 10.8.3 is starting to show compatibility issues with other apps that are being updated.
I'm thinking about upgrading my OS and PT and am wondering what the last stable combo is? Or is there a good stable version of PT 11 and OSX? I have a license for PT 11, I've just been reluctant to use it until it's stable for sure. And of course, I don't relish the whole upgrade headache of tracking down all my plug-ins and virtual instruments.

Re: What's the most current and stable PT/OSX combo?
Hi
We run PT11HD 11.2.1 on Mac Pro 10.8.5 and that is very stable and works great. We also have 2 Macbook Pro Retinas, one with 10.8.5 and one with 10.9.3 and both have PT11HD on them. Runs perfect there aswell and have not had any issues other than user errors So if you wanna be 10000000% sure I would stay on 10.8.5 with PT11 as it is the most stable if we go by members posts here. Also know that PT10 is not supported if you go Mavericks as the unistaller is wack so you can't unistall as you normally do but if you are only using PT11 10.9.3 is working and is supported by Avid aswell Best Regards Christopher

IMO, the most stable PT11 setup is PT 11.2.1 & PSX 10.9.4 -- miles better than any other PT11 combination so far.

Re: What's the most current and stable PT/OSX combo?
And in regards to the PT10 question, the absolute BEST revision is PT 10.3.8 if you want to run OSX 10.8.5. Not the latest 10.3.9 as there are a few issues reported with that version so for PT10 go with the 10.3.8 version
And as Jfreakey said, Both 10.9.3 and 10.9.4 works great with PT11 but if you want to combo install both 10/11 you are better off staying put on OSX 10.8.5 Best Regards Christopher

If you ever have to work with AAF files, use 10.3.7 instead. There is an AAF bug in v10.3.8 and later that has yet to be fixed.

Re: What's the most current and stable PT/OSX combo?
My recommendation(regardless of what combo you go with), buy a new hard drive and clone your current system drive to the new drive. Then remove the system drive and install the clone. Now, try updating and see what happens. If it goes sour, stick the original drive in, and go back to work. If it goes great, after, say 3 months of smooth sailing, clone over the old drive(giving you a backup in case of any issue that might arise, from a virus, to a bad update, all the way up to a complete system drive crash

10.3.7 on 10.8.5
Super stable on two systems here. Also have 11.2.1 on them. 11 doesn't crash, but inserting, opening, adjusting plugins constantly kills the audio engine and causes the garbled sound until you go to playback engine and adjust the buffer lower or higher. Doesn't matter which. 11 is never open when clients are present. Too embarrassing. |

That's the combo I'm going to go with.
I'm still unsure about the uninstall and my plugins. I want to avoid this:http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=346397 I've also read there are 3 uninstall options, but I don't know which I should use. I've never uninstalled PT before.
