Logic Pro 9 shows 10.6.8 and above

Logic Pro 9 - Technical Specifications

however any 3rd party plug-in will require their developers to make a compatible version. Apple does not fix their software to allow someone elses code to run in the event the update makes it incompatible.

Before any upgrade it is advised you backup your system as it is currently configured.

OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for initial download from the Mac App Store

Hasn't been available for a long time.

You either need to pay for a special download code for both OS X 10.7 Lion or , if your Mac hardware qualfies, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion OR the free macOS Sierra, or, possibly, OS X 10.11 El Capitán.


You maybe able to obtain OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks from your "local" Apple Store or an authorised Apple dealer/service center.

You would have to call them, first, to see if they are able to do this.

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite/El Capitan.


To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.


iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher


macOS 10.12 (Sierra) requires one of the following Macs:


iMac (Late 2009 or later)


El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information


macOS Sierra 10.12: Compatible Apps


Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.


Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
