Will Toast Titanium 5.2.3 Run On Tiger?

Still debating the OS upgrade for my friend's G4. One of his major use software applications is Toast of which he has Titanium version 5.2.3. If he has to replace Toast with a newer version in order to run Tiger, then we will probably just upgrade him to Panther. Cost is a big issue as he is retired.

So, anyone here running Toast 5.2.3 on Tiger?

Beige G3 MT, Mac OS 9.2.x, 1 GHz G3; 768 MB; 80 GB-7200 rpm-133 ATA; 64 MB Radeon 7000; Mac OS (10.3.9)

This looks like an indirect answer to your question:

"You'll need to download the free update to Toast 6.1.1 to use with Tiger. That is the version that works with QuickTime 7.x. Or you might want to upgrade to Toast 7"

He would probably need to run it in Classic either way... Things that run under Panther would normally run under Tiger as well since they're both OS X. Toast (Lite) 5.2 is an OS 9 application. Version 6 was the first OS X native.

Actually Toast 5.2.3 is a dual platform application and this is Titanium, not Lite. It loads and runs well in Panther (10.3.9) w/o booting into Classic, but the updater to get to 5.2.3 says it is good for up to Mac OS 10.3.

What I'm trying to find out is whether anyone actually has run Toast Titanium 5.2.3 on Tiger w/o problems. I've seen references elsewhere to the effect that it has big problems or won't run on Tiger.

Good idea, but the issue hasn't been addressed yet on the site and the site's log in system is totally hosed so I can't post a question (I've registered two products this year yet the log in tells me to comply with email instructions I've never received and can't get resent; totally hosed!).

Thanks Mike,

That's what I thought to be the case. Since Roxio pulled the updates for Toast 5 Titanium, I couldn't verify which Mac OS the final revision, 5.2.3, was issued to support. But, I thought that it was OS 10.3.?. I know it works with 10.3.9, but I was hoping it could be stretched to work on Tiger.

I've already been checking out Toast 6 Titianium auctions on ebay. Like to avoid version 7 due to the cost ($80 after a (uck!) mail-in rebate). Roxio is still posting the updates for version 6 so it is still a viable option.

I use Toast 5.2.1 all the time. Works great in Tiger. No problems. (Well, except for an odd problem with their DVDs - including Toast 6. Sometimes the files on the DVD will disappear when you click on them. Oddest thing...)

Disappear? Disappear off an already burned DVD or disappear out of the Toast setup window?
