Sorry, bud.), I found a few apps that were partially 32 bit and a few with 32 bit installers even though the apps were 64 bit.Īpple has never been good at backward compatibility, and since the world is slowly moving on from 32 bit applications, Apple jumped the gun and removed the code/whatever that allows a Mac to run 32 bit apps. It’s easier than me trying to type it out because I’m not good with directions. When I looked at whether my apps were 32 or 64 bit (Google how to tell what apps are 32 bit or 64 bit and you’ll get results that show you how. Sorry about that! If I was to guess, maybe it’s only the Waves installer or part of the app that is 32 bit? If the app is 64 bit but the installer is 32 bit, software might be fine if already there but not able to be installed again unless the installer is updated. Not to be rude, but are you sure it was running Catalina? If it was, NO idea. I think I am going to just try and install the plugins anyway but I wanted to ask in here first to make sure that I'm not going to ruin my computer or anything. Has anyone else dealt with this? It feels like a tactic to get people to buy those upgrade plans to me. Later in the day I realized that my old computer is also on Mac OS 10.15 and the plugins run fine. I didn't want to do that so I hung up to figure something else out. They say to call the sales team to see if there's anything that you can do about it and the person I talked to on the phone said that I have to buy the upgrade plan and essentially buy it again because there's no way that v.9 plugins can run on Mac OS 10.15. I did, and it says that v.9 is only works on systems up to Mac OS 10.13 and I have Mac OS 10.15 which is Catalina. When I went to download the separate v.9 installer they have, there was a warning that said to check the compatibility of the software to make sure that it would work on the new computer. I have the Waves Platinum Bundle in version 9, I think they are up to version 11 now. I recently bought a new computer so I'm in the process of transferring plugins over to the new one and all of that fun stuff.
