sageskyeI have installed Superior Drummer 3 2 Times. But the Superior Dummer App is not in my App Folder on my Mac? All the sounds are there, but no way to Launch it? I have downloaded everything regarding Superior Drummer. What Can I download or do? Thanks.
drumjack52SD3 is inside a folder named Toontrack which is in your Applications folder. That is if you installed to the default directory the installer puts stuff in. I don’t know if SD3 is qualified for Sonoma yet as that only dropped a few days ago.

sageskyeIt worked fine on Sonoma the 1st time I installed it. But then I moved the large files to an External drive. It still worked fine, but then I moved something else ( don’t Remember what ) then it didn’t work.
I tried many times after that, but could never get it to work. So I deleted everything and installed it all over again to the default directory. This all went fine, then went into the Toontrack folder in Applications, but there was no Superior Drummer 3 in the Toontrack Folder. If I could just install that file I could launch it. Don’t know why it wasn’t there.
Anyway, thanks for your help Maybe you could give me the correct way to reinstall again, Ron

You really should pay attention to what John linked to. They recommend NOT using SD3 on Sonoma at this point in time. That it worked for you only means you were lucky. Now – not so much. Sometimes it takes a while before developers can get things working with a new OS.

sageskyeThanks, I REALLY did pay attention to what he said, but my computer downloaded Sonoma without me doing it. I had just got it back from Apple for repair, and they didn’t turn off the automatic update. When my computer went down it also fried my backup. Not due to me according to Apple. They had to replace my Logic board. Anyway. it’s not a big deal I’ll wait. Thanks.

I’ve a spare disk connected to my Mac Studio, I’ll play around with Sonoma and see if I can come up with a temporary recipe to get you going again.

JohnHi,
if you run the latest software updater, click ‘Customise’ and make sure ‘Superior Drummer standalone application’ is checked. Does it still not show up in the ‘Applications/Toontrack’ folder?

Bear-Faced CowI know a bunch of people that are on Sonoma and there are a handful of them using SD3 with no issue other than the odd cosmetic glitch. If it is not appearing in your /Applications folder, then it is probably, as John stated, an installation issue. Best to follow John’s instructions and ensure all items are checked.

Just to be clear, I have 4 Mac systems, they all indicate Sonoma is an “Upgrade” not “Update”, it doesn’t happen automatically.
I would say to roll your system back to Ventura or wait for all the developers to certify on Sonoma. (which may be a while).

Hi John,
On my one of my test systems with Sonoma, Product Manager wouldn’t install any products. I’d press the install button and nothing would happen. I did get SD3 , EZD3, EZBass and EZKeys installed, just not with PM. Perhaps an issue with Rosetta? I don’t recall being asked to install it when i attempted a software install from PM.

And this is a perfect example of not living on the bleeding edge because those that do are doomed to get cut by it. It’s good to wait until all developers get their ducks in a row before moving forward. And don’t forget to ALWAYS have a backup although from what I understand Apple has made it almost impossible to do a clone of a system anymore.

Yep thats exactly what this system is for, build it, blow it up. Figure what broke, build it again.

Thanked by: drumjack52Bear-Faced CowReminds me of the good ol’ days when Apple pushed an update and all of a sudden BFD was blocked. It taught me to let everyone else update first and observe for a little while. It will be interesting, however, when I pick up a new laptop next month, since they all come with Sonoma installed.

Had an Apple security update brick my daw a few years back. Like you say – wait until others have experience with it. Unless things have changed you can backdate to a previous MacOS if the computer you’re getting came out before Sonoma came out. IOW if your new machine came out after Sonoma was released you can’t backdate. It’s not date of purchase but date of release of the computer model that matters.

Bear-Faced CowThat may depend if the M3 gets announced. If it does, then I’ll more than likely be stuck with Sonoma. Otherwise it will be an M2 unit in which I may have the option to roll back to Ventura. All I can do is play that hand as it is dealt.
