For what it's worth, Aperture, iPhoto and iTunes can be made to run in Catalina. People figured out last year what hacks were needed and there is a tool called Retroactive that will automate the steps: https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive Got some discussion on HN [1] about 3 months ago amongst other places, cool bit of sleuthing in the vein of efforts to get versions of macOS running on Macs older than officially supported. Personally I'm somewhat resigned to needing VMs to run certain older software, with a big one for me being Creative Suite CS6. Like you I have no interesting in buying into Adobe's subscription lock-in. But it's nice that some stuff can keep running without that layer for a while longer. Hopefully it'll still be possible in 10.16. ---- 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22454069 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22454069
