Mac Os Sierra Compatibility Apps 2017
There’s nothing like the release of a new operating system to put apps to the test. Unsurprisingly, some Rocket Yard readers have reported that specific apps are not playing well with High Sierra. Here’s our current list, and please feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the post with information on any apps you may have that don’t work properly with High Sierra installed. (Related:Common Problems During and After macOS High Sierra Installation)
- Sierra v10.12 macOS Sierra v10.13 macOS Sierra v10.15; As of 9-30-2016 we have new compatibility information to share. Please review the compatibility chart. As of we have new compatibility information to share. Please review the compatibility chart. As of 10-28-19 we have new compatibility information to share.
- Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 3, 4, 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 when installed on Intel-based systems. So if you want to go beyond that you are on your own in the sense that you cannot blame Adobe for any ensuing problems.
- Oct 24, 2019 If you have hardware or software that isn't compatible with macOS Sierra, you might be able to install the previous version, OS X El Capitan. MacOS Sierra won't install on top of a later version of macOS, but you can erase your disk first or install on another disk. You can use macOS Recovery to reinstall macOS. Published Date: October 24, 2019.
Apple Apps
Would you believe that some Apple apps need to be updated to a new version to work properly with macOS High Sierra? While the iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers), built-in apps (Mail, Safari, etc…) and iLife (iMovie, Photos, GarageBand, etc…) apps are working well with High Sierra, the Pro apps need to be updated to the latest versions. Here are links to the Mac App Store where the latest version can be found:
- Final Cut Pro X 10.3.4
- Motion 5.3.2
- Compressor 4.3.2
- Logic Pro X 10.3.1
- MainStage 3.3

Adobe Apps
Adobe suggests that any Creative Cloud versions of its apps be updated to the latest version (this is generally a good practice anytime updates are available). Most ‘CC apps’ should run smoothly with High Sierra, but some issues have been reported, in particular with Illustrator CC 2017 and InDesign CC 2017.
Illustrator suffers from multiple issues, one of which can cause installation and application launch failures; others have workarounds. InDesign suffers from cursor corruption issues, which may vary in frequency or severity depending on hardware. Photoshop has an issue related to Full Screen usage but Adobe has already supplied a file that can be downloaded and installed to fix it. For all Adobe-related issues, please visit their official support pages for the latest information.
For CS6 and earlier versions of the suite, the best information we have is that they are not officially supported with 10.13. They may install and work properly or they may not, but in any case no updates are likely to be provided.
Microsoft Office
As noted in an earlier report on macOS High Sierra, Office 2011 is not supported in High Sierra. While some of the apps may still work, there is a good chance they will not based on the information we’ve seen. Note also that Microsoft will no longer support Office 2011 after October 10, 2017, so if you would like to continue using an officially supported version, your only option will be to upgrade to Office 2016 (version 10.35 or higher — current version as of this writing is 15.38).
You can check the version number for Office 2016 by opening any of the apps (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc…) and selecting the “About Excel/Word/…” item from the app menu (see screenshot at right).
Microsoft Auto Update was also reported as having some issues.
Summary of Apps with Verified Compatibility Issues as of 9/27/2017
- Wacom tablet drivers: 10.13-aware drivers not available until late October. This could impact many Creative Suite users.
- Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 (serious – fix likely to require application update)
