hi Tony
how do i prevent iTunes from opening automatically when i turn on the mac on nowadays?
i knew the preference was located in system preferences/account in the past but i can't seem to find that anymore

What OS? I'm on Mojave, and the account startup prefs are in system prefs > users and groups > (your account) > login items.
Apple churns their features too much but at one time (and maybe now?) iTunes would open if you had an iOS device plugged in. Perhaps something else is plugged in or connected by bluetooth? "Smart" speakers?

The OS updates have been free for a while now, as long as your hardware supports them... I could install Catalina but I like to stay a version behind for compatibility.

yes im not updating as well since i got the comp for compatibility/permission issues ive got in the past with my previous 2 macs
i didnt mean exactly updates (i know they're free) i mean whole OSses
i used to pirate them in the past, never bought a new OS ever

Maybe it's different in Europe with the laws and licensing but here we get the whole ass OS for free, ever since... I wanna say... Mavericks?

yes looks like its name is Mavericks
i just checked software update and it seems i can get the newer OS for free as well
it says compatibility it starts from 10.9 onwards
dunno if the hardware can support it but im gonna lose everything Logic for sure (anoter program i got for free.. from the shop in Egypt where i bought the comp itself)

The problem with Catalina is no more 32 bit app support at all, at all. They just won't run. I still have a few utilities I want to keep, hoping they'll get updated before I'm forced to upgrade.

Oh and depending how much RAM you have you may not want to upgrade. 8gb or more should be OK.

my mac has exactly 8gb of ram, not sure if the apps i use have 32 bits or more, shouldn't be a problem for the use i make of the comp except for logic

While Logic is running, open activity monitor and search for Logic, then in the CPU tab the column on the right will say if it's 64 bit. (it probably is)
No problem, mate!

couldnt install catalina, the installer makes me accept the license then it sticks forever w/o dowloading anything, only one time of the countless i tried i got the message that important components couldnt be downloaded at that moment and to try later, and i cant redowload the installer cos the software update window says 'installed'.
the thread you did about the synth made my mind up though, i think im gonna lost some of the few plug ins i have (some are very old)

it takes a long time, the MacOS installers are 5gb or more these days. It might be downloading in the background, and eventually it will show up. It will alert you and ask you if you want to install now.

if it doesn't work I can upload the Mojave installer for you. It will be less bother launching unsigned programs anyways.

Argh, fuck, what a waste of time. The signing certificate probably expired.
Try this - I just found out you can still get it in the app store even though it's "hidden"
