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

• 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.

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

• Camtasia

  • ACE audio driver can’t be installed on 13. May not be fixed until after Ventura is released.

• Parallels Desktop 17 – and 18

  • Not automatically licensed with ITAM installs (reported to vendor).
    

• None currently!

  • 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”

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.
