Apr 26, 2020 at 11:26 comment added Tetsujin 1) Major OS upgrades do not happen on their own. Never have, never will. 2) Rather than ranting in here, which is doing little except keeping me amused, why not post a question on Ask Different, 'How do I get back to El Capitan?'
Apr 26, 2020 at 11:24 comment added Art 2) the system I purchased it with is REGISTERED with Apple. 3) If I want my system RETURNED to that OS, that is my prerogative to determine whether I will or not. 4) APPLE should give me what I am a registered owner of. Period. 5) Up until 2017, you could get the OS with the installer. After, they crippled it. Why? AND, read the problem... I did not initiate the upgrade, it installed itself over night. I know full well what to do in an upgrade situation.
Apr 26, 2020 at 11:23 comment added Tetsujin 2015 iMac came with El Capitan - & would back then have run CS5, just about OK. Not Apple's fault you're trying to get software to limp along that was last updated in 2011.
Apr 26, 2020 at 11:18 comment added Art 1) Regardless of what happened, I purchased my system with High Ierra.
Apr 26, 2020 at 11:18 comment added Art Yes, I can blame APPLE.
Apr 22, 2020 at 15:48 comment added Tetsujin Golden rules before any major update: 1) make sure all your mission critical software will run on it & 2) Make sure you can get back to the old OS if you find a blocker [this will involve a clone as well as Time Machine, in case of emergency]. You cannot blame Apple for your lack of foresight. Sorry, but life just doesn't work that way.
Apr 22, 2020 at 15:34 comment added Art Here is the kicker .... APPLE, in their infinite wisdom.... has made it virtually impossible to roll back! I will be honest, I am totally disgusted by APPLE! Why? I purchased their computer and I fully EXPECT THE RIGHT To CHOOSE WHICH OS I USE ESPECIALLY THE ONE I PURCHASED WITH THE SYSTEM!!! Why do I have to struggle to make a boot disc of the system I was using?!?!?!!!! I don’t need their support! I don’t want their support! I want to load MY OS OF CHOICE I PAID FOR WHEN I PURCHASED THE SYSTEM!!! End of story!
Apr 8, 2020 at 18:43 comment added Art Thank you for that link. Greatly appreciated. I am currently waiting a Cable from Amazon so I can try a recovery from my MacBook Pro. I used to be an Authorized Apple Dealer and Adobe reseller. I cannot stand, with every breath in my body, Adobe. Garbage company based on that experience. Classic, greedy sleazy big company. They will never get another dime from me. If I have to, will regress OS. It worked fine for years, just stopped out of the blue. Hoping to reinstall older backup, may set it right again.
Apr 7, 2020 at 17:18 comment added Tetsujin CS5 really isn't supported beyond El Capitan. People have managed to keep it limping along until Sierra, but High Sierra's APFS & lack of support for legacy Java is really going to make life difficult. Maybe see blog.conradchavez.com/2017/09/25/… for some hints, but be prepared to either roll back your OS, or invest in current versions.
