Mid 2012 running PT HD 10.3.8

Looking for a solution that will allow me to use Mail and Browser on this machine, as it has been acting up with the current OS 10.8.5

Also, does anyone know if there is an OS Upgrade and PT Upgrade, that may help with the mail and browser issue? Without going to PT 11 or 12.

Cheers

What do you mean by 'acting up'? What browser are you using? Who's you isp (Verizon FIOS by any chance)? Apple Mail on older OSX versions is problematic as more and more email providers no longer support all old OSX versions. The last supported OSX for PT 10.3.8 is what you're on. Some people have had success running PT 10.3.8 on OSX 10.9.5 but there's no guarantee that that will solve four email/browser issues.


You could split your system drive into two boot partitions and put a more modern OSX like High Sierra OSX 10.13.6 on one and keep your existing Mountain Lion install intact. That will solve your email & browser woes assuming there isn't something else going on with your machine and ISP.


Any OSX past 10.9.5 will mean you'll have to go to PT11 and that means updating all your plugins to 64 bit. Good luck finding a used PT11 license asset and someone willing to sell it.
