tascam 428?? Doubtful any "major recording studios" are using a model built in the late nineties. Unrealistic to think any company would support software for it or any consumer tech that was discontinued that long ago.Yes, to some a surprise....
Snow Leopard and Lion are the only OS X's left that have some very expensive equipment (32 bit) that still have to use the OS X to run. They will not run on OS X after Lion due to companies not updating drivers, especially for the audio recording industry..
You may say, "Why then do the companies NOT update the drivers....?
Well, of course so the users HAVE to buy new products (keeps the machine going)...but in some cases we have no choice because there is not other products similar to purchase and upgrade too.
Most of the major audio recording companies fall under this. Tascam and Alesis are some to include. The say that it is difficult to make drivers for the equipment due to OS X changes in architecture....translated that they do not want to spend the money on updating "legacy" items and desire us to "buy" new stuff. Well....nothing like the Alesis MasterControl or Tascam's US-428 out there to buy...so we are left with not updating...
This is why you still see users on Snow Leopard and Lion.![]()

Consider at least the possibility that the exploits that had to be patched don't exist in Lion.
I'm not saying that's the case, but it's all too common that new technology (OS upgrades) brings new "opportunities."
Apple did discontinue security updates for Snow Leopard, but if they did the same for Lion, I missed the announcement.
You can always install linux in these machines.
Apple supported my white Macbook up till Lion, so how about I have no choice? The laptop still works fine, put in a SSD. But Apple doesn't care. You can of course be snarky and be wrong too, as you illustrate.
The choices you have are between Firefox and Chrome in regard to secure browsers.Apple supported my white Macbook up till Lion, so how about I have no choice? The laptop still works fine, put in a SSD. But Apple doesn't care.
I don't understand why people are upset when any computer manufacturer makes an upgrade that breaks legacy software from third parties. If the vendor chooses not to update drivers how is that the computer makers fault at all? Alesis gave you the finger not Apple. Obsolescence is a major data point in tech purchasing.True...the Tascam US-428 had a good run, around 2000 to 2007, but...the Alesis MasterControl is a pro item. Never heard anything bad about that gear. Came out around 2008-9 and went out in 2011. Expensive and only lasted three years...?!? There is nothing out there right now that has real faders and knobs, buttons etc. in comparison, but everything has gone to virtual iPad type of stuff. For those semi-pro or home user studios, who prefer to move a real fader etc. we are out-of-luck. Yes..."old school", but some still do not want virtual everything...

I recall an exception being made in the case of iOS 6, but that's basically it. Have they released an iOS 7 update since iOS 8 has been out?Apple never announces the discontinuation of software support, afaik. The last few years, they seem to release security updates for the most recent 3 versions of OS X and the most recent 2 versions of iOS, which currently means 10.8/9/10 and iOS 7/8 and covers devices made as far back as 2007 and 2011, respectively. While I'd like to see iOS 6 continue to get security updates - I know a few people who are hanging on to their 3GS for some reason - I don't think anyone should be too surprised that their 8+yr old Mac is no longer supported.

For this case I fail to see a browser necessary. These machines should by obvious reasons (production critical) no internet access. What would be a business case for these machines to surf the Internet - except nice to have ?
I am unable to replicate this issue. For me the new tab opens and it keeps me in the original tab with the old url displayed.
