#DEEP FREEZE MAC MOJAVE HOW TO#
So now I have started to delete lots of old images but I need to relearn how to export from Aperture - where do I control where the files end up?! Maybe that doesn't work as before (the app making Aperture work is pretty basic, so I might have to do it differently, export as mail, or something. Not even any TimeMachine backups.Īctually, the only thing I did have to reinstall was DxO PL 5, and Aperture runs like a dream, or like it did pre-Mojave! Amazing! Even used my PC for a while (a rare occasion), which also will have its DxO PL upgraded eventually.īeing an old jerk, and just too sure of myself, I had done no backups, nothing to reinstall should things go really awry. Several hours without my dear iMac!!!īrave guys win, eh?! I pressed the button and waited, and waited. I found out (I love the internet) that upgrading to the latest Big Sur from such an old OS as Mojave will take anything from 17 minutes to several hours. Well, should I try?!Īperture did not run well with my Mojave, I hasten to add, with occasional freeze-ups, so I was skeptical, but as my SAS friends say 'who dares wins' so what the heck, Big Sur, here we come!

So the investment in the software was either a total loss (I have just one Mac), or I had to take the jump into darkness and eventually, hopefully, re-emerge as a Big Sur user.Ĭhecking around I found a little app called Retroactive at App Store, and that makes some old software work with Big Sur, and that includes Aperture.

So I kept using the old OS, and Aperture worked, not good, but OK.īut the new version of DxO PL does not run under Mojave!!!! I have been using macOS Mojave for ages, as that was the last version of the OS that Aperture worked with. I have dreaded upgrading my iMac to the newer operation system so I'm on Mojave but yesterday I forked out a tiny sum for the latest DxO PhotoLab 5 and started to install it! That was definitely not a success.

Been a bit ill, but better so I decided to upgrade my DxO PhotoLab to 5.0.
