1/6/2024 0 Comments Cyberduck for mac 10.9![]() The actual install process is very simplistic and looks like a firmware upgrade, albeit on that took over 45min on this 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 2012 MacBook Pro with 8 GB of memory. After providing administrative credentials, your computer will reboot and perform the install. Once downloaded, the install can be triggered by launching the “Install OS X El Capitan” application found in your Applications folder. ![]() The download weighs in at a whopping 6GB so it is not for those on slow unreliable connections. Like Mac OS X 10.7 and newer, “El Capitan” is available for free through the Apple App Store. Codenamed “El Capitan”, Mac OS X 10.11 visually looks like it’s predecessor Mac OS X 10.10 “Yosemite”. Video calls will work.On Thursday Oct 1 Apple released the latest iteration of their personal computer operating system, Mac OS X. Use Firefox, but change Firefox's user agent to Chrome. Your browser runs all sorts of Javascript code from who knows where.Īs it so happens, there's a much easier way to get Slack video calls working in Mavericks. You can't have both an outdated OS and outdated browser, it's simply not safe. For general browsing in Mavericks, use an up-to-date copy of Firefox. Thus, here is the last Mavericks-compatible copy of Google Chrome: ĭo not use this for standard web browsing, it should be reserved for specific web apps that absolutely require Google Chrome (presumably because the apps are stupid and don't conform to web standards). Slack video calls don't work in Firefox, they didn't seem to work in nativefier, and old, Mavericks-compatible versions of the Slack app refused to let me log in. I ran into a situation yesterday where I absolutely needed a copy of Google Chrome that would work in Mavericks, in order to run a Slack video call for work. As my main browser I use Firefox 71 which supports Mavericks and Safari 9 on compatible sites which are still many including. Of course it's a needle in a haystack of all my 3rd party apps on Mavericks/Lion. To work with PDF I use FoxitReader and Adobe Acrobat DC, for OCR FineReader 12.1.11. Even contacting the developer not always helpful, but you should try anyway and maybe you succeed getting them to sell licences. However if you in the desperate need of some abandoned piece of software the only option you have is tracker sites, but this is scant because most of the time seeding is no more as the majority of Mac users uses new versions. You may run into the issue that the form of the licence number you own doesn't conform to the one in an earlier version of the same app. With the exception of Transmit I was able to find and install successfully on both OSes. Among those are Rogue Ameba (Audio Hijack), Chronos (iClipboard), ExpanDrive, Cyberduck, Transmit. Thus I was able to download installers a couple of times. You also may use WaybackMachine to crawl through old snapshots of the sites in question. Some sites offer older versions, most of them assume you're an idiot if you're running something older than 2 or 3 current macOSes (as a rule of thumb, most of devs support from Yosemite onwards, many require El Capitan and newer, or Sierra and newer), however I did find that significant faction of developers both on and outside MAS have Mavericks as the minimum and some apps in fact run on Mavericks way faster than on later macOSes and you still can buy them. Unfortunately, official sites is dead-lock. I still use Mavericks among other options and love it, I also run Lion and have a boatload of apps that make me productive on both despite them being demoted as "old". I'm sure they'll be lots of things I don't know about or can't find, but I can probably help some people! So in the meantime, if there's anyone else still on Mavericks and you need compatible software for a specific purpose, please post about it here. I was originally going to write a very long post with all the great software and compatible versions I've found, and I may still do that at some point, but it's going to be REALLY long and I don't know when I'll get around to it. ![]() Modern macOS is no longer a platform I want to use, but I'd rather go back to an older version than outright switch to Windows or Linux. I've run into this a lot over the past few months because I'm trying to downgrade my life to Mavericks. I sometimes can't even find compatibility information listed anymore-the website will just say "Works on macOS™️!" with no mention of which Mac OS. Some time in the past couple years, this practice appears to have fallen out of fashion. It used to be that when an app dropped support for an old operating system, they'd say something about it on their website, and include a download link for the last compatible version.
