Re: [Avid-L2] Apple is Fing me hard now along with Avid's inability to install on earlier Mac Os systems?

Okay the present nightmare is over. Once I got OS 10.9.5 installed and upgraded to 8.5.2 the LUTed material looks right and the rotation is there.

Now it's pretty scary that the interpretation of the LUT changes between versions. Perhaps it's OS based as I was running 8.4.5 on my Mac OS 8.5, I know that's not the recommended OS but I had been running 8.3.1 for a while. I suppose I could back rev my Avid to test if 8.4.5 on OS 10.9.5 would interpret the LUT video levels right. Certainly the rotation wouldn't be there but levels shouldn't be shifting. between versions with the same LUT. I'm just a bit surprised that the OS could actually have an effect on how Avid interprets LUT video levels. Could someone from Avid clarify if it's the OS or if in fact 8.4.5 and 8.5.2 interpret the same LUT differently. That would be really crazy.

I think rotation was only added as a feature of FrameFlex in 8.5, so you'll need to update your Avid as well to get that part working...

Setting the date back worked like a charm. That is if a charm is staying up all night after having to drive back to work to start a render on the original system only to come back to find a way to update your home system then to find that the 10.9.5 combo update is going to take 5 hours to download before you can even begin to install the new Avid to hopefully see it handle the LUTs correctly. Yeah it's a charmed life today.

P.S. Ross you are a life save and you have in fact saved the show for me!!!!!

Wow I will give that a shot so I set the clock back by taking it out of auto time mode right. Now is it just me or is this the biggest load of crap one can imagine? I mean seriously this is something that effects a lot of people's lively hood and Apple who acts like they want to be professional are so unaware of what it means to use their products professionally it's mind boggline. I'm surprised to hear about the Quicktime acting the same way as I know I've installed it on computers within the last year. I think from a googled link to an Apple support page.

Hi John,
I can tell you exactly what happened to your OS X installer pen drive. The security certificate that Apple used to sign the Mavericks installer (and the Yosemite one, I think) expired a few months ago, so now the installer fails the verification check. It's the same thing that happens with the "QuickTime 7 for Snow Leopard" installer, if you've used that in the last few years. They haven't made a new installer that's signed with their new certificate, so your new download will give the same results.
The quick and easy answer is to turn the clock on your computer back a year or two. You can put it back to being correct once the install is done.

Hope that helps,
Ross

This is so completely F'd and I'm under a time crunch. What the F did Apple do to make my usb flash drive installer not work? It was done with a utility that one of the engineers at work uses all the time and I don't get what is wrong with it. Seems Apple changed something. I even tried to install 10.10 from another usb drive that was made with the same program but it won't even attempt an install and it tells me I need to contact Apple Care. These are all SSD PCIE drives in my MacPro Tower that were made with carbon copy cloner purchased version from the other spinning drives on my system. I know in the past there have been issues because CCC didn't make a restore directory when cloning or some such nonsense. Man I thought I was doing right by downloading but not installing updated OS's and making boot stick but now I'm truly F'd by the man. I even have the original installer files on my desktop so I don't really need the usb drives at all but launching it from the desktop and I get the same crap. I even tried copying and pasting the OS Installer from the desktop into the Applications folder but that's still a no go for some reason.
