Anybody tried Mac OS 10.7.3 with CS 5.5?

Good to know Tom. Would you mind upgrading to 10.7.3 and report your findings ? 🙂

[Tom Daigon]

Nope 😀 I will probably upgrade to a PC in the near future and let those braver than I play with the Lion.

I’m running CS5.5+ under OS10.7.2. I’m watching, but not biting, on further upgrades to the system right away, since it’s always been a little reckless to install an Apple “security update” too soon: they’ve tended to be buggy on first release. This runs on a MacPro 8-core with dual-boot capability (the default sys is OS10.6 Snow Leopard). So far, CS5 versions of Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere seem to be functioning as advertised.
Apple’s push to iOS seems to mark all things OSX as EOL so far as Cupertino is concerned. This makes me leery of making any more seriously financed investments in Apple-based anything at the moment. Can’t predict where they’re going: I’m not sure even THEY know for sure. Best now to watch and wait.

I’ve actually found it to be more stable in Lion. Although I’ve had a couple of weird crashes tonight, at least Premiere is saving my project before the crash (I’m typing this as my project reloads). When I was working on Snow Leopard, it would crash often and not save most of the time.

Not one crash with Premiere Pro 5.5 on Snow Leopard.

Hi Cliff, have you upgraded your Lion to 10.7.3? I pretty much had to because I’m on a couple very large monitors and I was getting the laggy timeline issue with 10.6.8 (that Tom doesn’t seem to experience) and heard that the 10.7 update resolved this – and it does.

Thanks for any information.

I upgraded to Lion in hopes of stability improvements, but it performs same at best on my system and I boot from Snow Leopard when working with Premiere (I’m rebooting 4-5 times per day on a good day).

Premiere seems to perform very inconsistently on Mac and hopefully this will improve in Premiere 6. When I get a chance I’m going to try and run under Boot Camp and see if there’s an improvement.

I’m running on a 2010 Mac Pro 8 Core with NVIDIA Quadro 4000 and 26g Ram.

Cheers,

Gerry

There’s at least one new issue with 10.7.3 and Adobe Media Encoder, regarding previews not working. See this for a thread in which the Premiere Pro engineering manager acknowledges the issue:

Thanks Todd, I did see this issue in the forum (the only one about 10.7.3 I saw, but didn’t care that much since I never crop using Media Encoder. I guess what I’m looking for is more stability than what PPro CS 5.5.2 + Mac OS 10.7.2 is currently giving me and hoping an upgrade to 10.7.3 would help in this regard.

Again, thanks for taking the time to respond, Todd, your contribution, as an Adobe employee, to help address customer issues directly in these and other forums is one of the main advantages of Premiere Pro over other solutions, and I applaud Adobe for give you the freedom and direction to do this.

I guess I’d still like to put out a call to any Mac user that has actually upgraded from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 and what their assessment is.
