In Reply to: RE: Thanks, Audivarana had to be upgraded posted by Frihed89 on July 16, 2016 at 10:49:58
My Mac OS X 10.11.5 "El Capitan" is the latest downloaded update from the Apple App Store. I have it running on my Mac Mini.I also have the latest Audirvana Plus 2.5.3. And since I run it in integrated mode with iTunes, iTunes was also updated with the last "El Capitan" operating system update. My iTunes is 12.4.16.
It all works smoothly together as it did before.

I bought a MacBook Pro and a Wavelength Proton in 2011, and never upgraded either until the day before yesterday, when i started converted to El Capitaine and a more recent version of Audivirana. I was content. I never used the Mac partition on my HD, except to listen to music.
Now, getting used to the OS, is a real pain. Even finding the versions of my apps is turning out to be a mystery.
Also, I used to be able to listen to Spotify through my old system. Now, it just wants to play Itunes.
And how do get the AudiV symbol to stay in whatever they call the row of app icons at the bottom of the screen? I have to start it from Finder/apps every time, even after I drag the icon there?
See what i mean?
It sounds like you haven't spent any time exploring your Mac and how to use it. Here are some quick tips to make life a little easier:
- If you want to see what version of Mac OS you are running click the Apple logo in the upper left corner of your screen then select About this Mac. If you want even more detail on everything in your Mac you can then choose System Report. From here, you can click on the individual items to drill down and get more detail.
- Click on Finder in the upper left corner of your screen and choose Preferences. From the General tab, check Hard disks, External disks, CDs DVDs and iPods, Connected servers. Also in Finder Preferences click the Sidebar tab. Now check all the boxes.
Your main disk drive and other connected devices should now show up on your desktop.
- That bar at the bottom of your screen is called the Dock. To get any App to appear in the Dock, open the disk drive icon on your desktop, go into the Applications folder, now drag the Application icon (like AV+) down onto dock. [The App actually stays in the Applications folder. You're just making it's icon available in the Dock for easy access.]
- If you want to manipulate the size of the Dock at the bottom of your screen, you can do this through System Preferences.
- To open System Preferences, click on the Apple icon in the upper left of your screen. Click on System Preferences. Click on the Dock icon. You can now adjust the size of the Dock as well as other attributes to change how it behaves.
- System Preferences is where you manipulate many things on your Mac including Desktop & Screen Saver, Dock, Display, Energy Saver, Keyboard, Mouse, Printers, Sound, Networking, Users, App Store, etc. Explore the many choices. Adjust your mouse buttons, scroll direction, acceleration, etc. Adjust your Energy Saver settings. Explore and investigate.
- If you want to update various Apps on your Mac including the Mac OS you will launch the App Store icon. Once the App Store is launched and open, click on the Updates button on the top bar and it will search for updates. If the App Store icon does not exist on your Dock, you can find it on your Disk Drive (on your desktop). Once you open your disk drive, check the Applications folder then drag the App Store icon down to your Dock.
- If you want Spotify to appear in your Dock, first find it in your Applications folder, now drag it's icon down onto your Dock.
- If you cannot drag Apps down onto the dock, be sure you are dragging them in between other Apps already in the Dock. You may need to remove a few Apps from the Dock if it's already too full. Right-Click the App you want to remove from the Dock, then click Options > Remove from Dock.
- If you need to make the Dock larger, one place you can do that from is in System Preferences mentioned above.
Take a class at your local Apple Store or checkout all the available resources online from Apple and other sources via Google search.
The courses are taught in danish. I don't speak English mac langauge. God knows what danish Mac language sounds out. I do ask questions about El Capitaine in danish, and labor through the results.
Thank again for your help.
It takes some effort away from audio and a little time to become familiar with Mac OS but I find it interesting. It helps to know some of the fundamentals about Mac OS so you can fix minor issues. Good luck!
I noticed that when I upgraded to El Capitan, Audirvana flashed about 4 upgrade alerts within two days - I assumed it was because they were squelching little incompatibilities (none of which I ran into). I was impressed that the Audirvana folks were so responsive to the Mac operating system update: the Audirvana updates occurred almost simultaneously with the El Capitan availability (at least AFAIR).

Sometimes its not so bad actually "paying for" good software rather than scrounging around the net for a freebie and keeping fingers crossed that the "community" will fix it. ;-)
