If you have applications you must use, but you have older versions that aren’t compatible with macOS 12 and you choose not to upgrade them to current versions, you should delay upgrading to Monterey. But if you are upgrading from macOS 10.14 Mojave or earlier, Apple changed macOS in ways that may prevent older applications from running in macOS 12 Monterey. The good news is, if you are upgrading from macOS 11 Big Sur, the differences between it and macOS 12 Monterey are relatively minor, so software that is running well in Big Sur may run well in macOS 12 Monterey. I’ll update this article as new information comes out. Good luck I have given up on it with my iMac.With the release of macOS 12 Monterey, you’re probably wondering if your Adobe software will work in this macOS upgrade.Ĭompatibilty information emerges over time, as Apple, Adobe, and other software developers test with the final public release and produce updates with fixes.

My external drive is a SABRIENT rocket 4TB thunder thunderbolt 3 (2400 MBs write/read)fastest external drive I could buy and works flawlessly until loading OS Ventura. I had even considered upgrading the local drive thinking the problem was the external drive, but perhaps our iMac 2017's are not compatible. I have options, but this wasted a lot of time. I'm now convinced I will stick to Monterey until the next OS comes out. No improvement at all, can't run basic programs like mail and safari, Adobe creative cloud crashes and apart from Chrome just made the machine worthless.

I tried to load and use Ventura on the external drive 3 times: twice upgrading from Monterey and the last time from a clean wiped drive to Ventura.

This way I have options as I can't run some of the older software on the new OS, and I use the external drive to run the latest software like Adobe CC 2023 photoshop, illustrator, etc. My local drive has Mojave running on it as I have lots of 32 bit programs I like to have available to me, Up until now I have always been able to run the latest OS on the external drive. Just so you are aware I was trying to run OS Ventura on an SSD external drive on my iMac 2017. Upgraded from Monterey with no issues, everything runs. Hi Joe, Well the new OS Ventura works great on an M1 Mac like the one I'm responding to you with (Mac mini 2020).
