How many folk here have realized that with the latest OSX High Sierra, 32 BIT stalwarts Microsoft Office 2011 and Phase One’s catalog program, Media Pro, no
Longer work once you do any Mac OS update!
I wish they had warned me as all my catalogs going back 10 years, (when the “wunderkind” was iview Media Pro), are now useless!
Unfairly, Phase One doesn’t recognize either Capture aone 9 or Media Pro as qualifying software to get an upgrade at a discounted price. There is no further Media Pro that will work in Mac OS X. Anything you own gets deactivated retrospectively as soon as you do a minor update in High Sierra!
The Media Pro catalog functions are said to be included in Capture One 11. At the same time, Microsoft Office, conveniently appears now as a 2019 edition, 64 Bit qualified!
Unfortunately, all software which is 32 BIT will cease to work once you do any update of High Sierra!
Best go back to Sierra for safety!
I was further disappointed that ACDsee, although pretty in it’s latest 4.xx upgrade, is bug ridden and lots of things make it crash and Batch processes, especially renaming don’t work!
I now realize that my unneeded accepting the Mac OS offer for a minor upgrade wiped out a majority of my diverse software!
