APFS and Mountain Lion Error
I mainly use Pro Tools 2018 and High Sierra (10.13.3) with my main SSD drive running on a 2010 Mac Pro.
Occasionally I need to open an older Pro Tools 10 session. In those cases, I switch to a separate internal drive running Mountain Lion (10.8.5) Whenever I switch to the 10.8.5 drive, I receive an error regarding my SSD drive: "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" I'm assuming this error occurs because Mountain Lion cannot read APFS. I usually just ignore the error. Can this do any damage to my SSD? Is there any safer way to switch over to the Mountain Lion drive? Is there a "proper" way to do it? I can't seem to find any solutions. |

Re: APFS and Mountain Lion Error
Nothing will happen to it. You can’t damage it.
You can however accidentally erase or partition it. Be careful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That makes me feel better. The dialogue box gives 3 options: 1. Initialize... 2. Ignore 3. Eject I always choose 'Ignore' Is that the safest/best option? When you say, "Be careful" - I'm assuming you mean to avoid selecting "Initialize" That is the option that could lead to the SSD getting erased, correct? Any other pitfalls I should be aware of? |

Re: APFS and Mountain Lion Error
Yep. That’s what I meant.
I’d choose ignore as well. Eject would also do the job. It might be worth doing some Googling and seeing if anyone has written a script or utility that hides unformatted drives so that you can’t accidentally initialise/format your drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just curious why this old thread was resurrected, but in short:

Re: APFS and Mountain Lion Error
I was researching on how folks are doing with Open Core running Mt. Lion while switching back to newer OS versions. I'm aware Sierra is still HPS though. Actually you can boot into ancient Mac OS.
