Mac OS Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra (update 08/10/2019)

[TomBancroft]

Yes, as Dave mentioned above, I do have it working on my Mac laptop (with High Sierra OS) now. It does seem that the order discribed above DOES matter. I think I had re- installed TVPaint first and then the new driver and it seems you have to do the driver first. I ended up having to uninstall both and redownload and reinstall them both in correct order to make it work. I THINK that was it. A sub problem is that we really needed TV Paint to step in here at the forum and say exactly what needs to be done (with links) and not have to hodge-poster through the forums for bits of the information. The above description by TVPaint is a great start but still refers to other forum solutions so you will have to do a lot of reading to fully figure this solution out. Please add/edit in more information and links to the correct driver(!) into the above description. TVPaint is a great product and my bro and I talk about it (for free) all the time on our podcast because of that. Please continue making it great by having the customer service I’ve always seen in the past. Thanks.

in a certain order and I think this order should be respected because it seems to work on MacOS High Sierra too (I'm not sure about that).

First, before opening TVPaint or installing it, you must install Safenet driver version 7.4.2,
you can find them here: https://sentinelcustomer.gemalto.com/se ... =all&l=all
Unfortunately, this is NOT the version which comes with TVPaint dmg ...

Will the TVPaint dmg file be changed to include Safenet driver 7.4.2 ?

I understand if you want to avoid the expense of burning new install discs if you've got a few hundred of those in stock , BUT most Mac users don't have a disc drive on their computers anymore as Apple has more or less done away with the disc drive , so Mac users must install from a download link anyway. Can't you just change the .dmg file that is downloaded for the Mac version of TVPaint ?

So, for example, when I get a new crop of students in the Fall 2018 semester (starting in September) purchasing TVPaint and they receive their dongle and the install disc (or a download link if they do not have a computer with a disc drive) , when they click on the installer are they going to get the one with the wrong Safenet driver or the usable Safenet 7.4.2 driver ?

The DMGs should be updated now

Hello Triuyen, could you contact me via PM so we can take a look into your MacOS situation ?

It looks as though the last post regarding problems with OS High Sierra and TVPaint was about 5 weeks ago.
Has that issue been resolved, or is it still advised to avoid updating from Sierra to High Sierra?

I'm sure someone from TVPaint will chime in with the official word on this , but if you were asking me, I'd say : if you don't absolutely have to update from Sierra to High Sierra for some other reason , then DON'T. Too many people still seem to be having issues with TVPaint running on High Sierra. If everything is working fine for you the way you have it now running on Sierra , then my philosophy is: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

[BruceM]

Thanks D.T.! That's kind of what I was thinking, but it's good to get confirmation.

Is there any info on TVPaint running on OS X Mojave?

Does TVP 10.5.7 Pro work?

And if it doesn't, does the latest version of TVP run on Mojave?

[melanie]

TVPaint Animation 10.5.7 64 bits does not run on Mojave, but the 32 bits version does.

Thanks, I'll try the 32 bits version!

Thanks, it works great! 32 bits should be a problem for this project.

Is there an upgrade that allows TVPaint to run without a dongle? My 1 USB-C to USB cable is already in use by my Wacom... (Do newer versions have different DRM?)

It's working great for me, so far...

[David_Fine]

So I see that only the 32 bit version of TVPaint runs on Mojave, which is not so good. Also, after Mojave, Macs will not support any 32 bit apps, so what are the plans for updating TVPaint to continue functioning on Macs?

[JeremyN]

Hi,
Only 32bits version works for TVPaint 10 but, for TVPaint 11.0.8, there is no problem with the 64bits version on Mojave.
