Support Changes

System Preferences is now called “System Settings” and is different than any previous version of macOS. User guidance and documentation may need to be edited.

Applications

As of February 21, 2023

  • The following list of applications either have issues launching on macOS 13.0 (Ventura)

...

  • .

  • Please note that older versions of applications were not tested

...

  • here, only the most current versions available in Managed Software Center were checked

...

  • .

  • We do not have the ability to

...

This list is a work in progress (last updated 8-9-2022 as applications are being validated against new beta releases).  This list will be updated as newer versions of these applications come out.

IF THESE APPLICATIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU:  Please reach out to the vendors and ask what their timeline for Ventura support is.

  • check every feature in every application. If you have a critical application, we recommend getting clarification from that app’s vendor.

Applications that currently do not install successfully on Ventura (macOS 13):

  • Ableton Live 11.1.5 (the install “FAILED” and, as such, the 40G of sound packs can’t be unpacked – don’t try it!)

  • Camtasia – ACE audio driver can’t be installed on 13

  • Parallels Desktop 17 does not license properly

  • None currently!

Applications that currently do not launch successfully or have issues on Ventura (macOS 13)

...

Ableton Live – application indicates it is “Damaged” and can’t be launched (NOTE – the builder has been fixed and just waiting for the next version.)

...

Examplify (reports Damaged) (NOTE – the builder has been fixed and just waiting for the next version.)

...

M7Link Audio Plug-In – GarageBand complains this needs an update to be supported (this may be what is affecting Final Cut Pro, too…)

...

:

  • Examplify

    • Previous versions will present as “Damaged”.

      • If you see this, trash the app and reinstall via MSC as that has been fixed.

  • Ozone 9 Audio Plug-Ins

    • Nimbus, R4, Izotope (Nectar 3, Neutron 2 and 3) and Foundry M7 Link

    --- these cause GarageBand, FinalCut and Premiere Pro to hang on launch while scanning audio drivers…) OF NOTE: 12.4 FinalCut complains about Nimbus, R4 and M7 Link as well.
  • Lightwright 6 – crashes unexpectedly at quit

  • Spartan 20 – License Utility does not work

  • Xcode 13 does not run on Ventura – we are not (at this time) packaging the beta of Xcode 14 for deployment along with Ventura

  • Microsoft Office apps may crash at launch. If that happens, trash one of the Apps (like Excel) as that will force a redownload of Office in Managed Software Center and a reinstall may fix it. Don’t uninstall Office and reinstall it – that will not work.

  • Microsoft Excel may not select cells/rows correctly. This has been reported. Moving the spreadsheet around with the scroll bars may help, but you may have to quit and reopen the spreadsheet to get it to work properly – until it stops working again.

Applications that are not installing updates via Managed Software Center (not an authoritative list) – different apps fail with different betas (running list for beta 5) – it’s possible these updates may install if the apps are trashed before the updates are installed:

  • BlackMagic Desktop Video

  • Davinci Resolve Studio (same company as BlackMagic Desktop)

  • Resolume Arena (again)

  • JMP Pro 16.2 update (again) – may be fixed.

  • iLok License Manager

Things that may not work that have been mentioned by beta testers:

  • Punchouts are not opening in Marketsite in Safari (but work in Chrome/Firefox) – fixed in beta 5/Public Beta 3
    • Final Cut, GarageBand, Logic, Premiere Pro, Audacity, and other audio apps may complain or hang with an error “did not pass the Apple AU validation”. FinalCut Pro 10.6.5 may handle this better after a force-quit and relaunch to display the “Incompatible Audio Units Found”

System Settings is the new name for System Preferences:

  • With its new name, System Settings looks more like your iPhone

...

  • Profiles has moved under Privacy & Security

  • Erase All Content and Settings (EACS) is now under General / Transfer or Reset pane

macOS 13.1 may present a prompt to “Update Apple ID Settings” (fixed in 13.2):

  • Some users may see the prompt to update a “(null)” AppleID after updating to macOS 13.1. This has been fixed in macOS 13.2. If you are still seeing this on 13.2 (or later), just hit “Cancel” and that should resolve it.
