Title: ProfileMaker 5 - Mac OS?
Post by: Daverich on March 05, 2015, 01:00:21 pm
Can someone tell me what was the last Mac OS that PM 5 would work with?  Leopard? Snow Leopard?  I just inherited an iMac that is currently running Yosemite and I'd like to downgrade it to whatever OS would allow me to use my copy of PM5 & dongle again. Thanks.

10.5 I believe. That's what I'm running it on with an old Macbook Pro. You have to be able to run Rosetta.

It's a 2008 iMac and I'm sure I still have 10.5 on a shelf somewhere so I should be good to go. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

If it requires rosetta, Rosetta was able to run on 10.6 Snow Leopard. Rosetta was not automatically installed with Snow Leopard but could be installed by the user if needed.

Whether that is still possible I do not know.  If the Rosetta resources were included on the Snow Leopard installation DVD then it should be, if those resources required being downloaded from Apple servers they may no longer be there.

Thanks yet again. I'd looked on the XRite site before posting here but wasn't able to come up with the answer. I appreciate all the help.

Don't downgrade to ancient history. Just run VMware Fusion and run a 10.6 window in it.
10.6 server will cost you $20.

I run ProfileMaker 5.10 with no issues in 10.6.8. The comment regarding Rosetta is correct and 10.6.8 is the end of the line for that.
