No problems here.
On one of my Macs, the fans were idling a little fast after the installation. Rebooting again fixed that.

After I updated, Logic Pro X and MainStage showed updates in the App Store dated yesterday. As did iTunes, of course.

Is Adobe Acrobat working? Updating killed it on my wife's MacBook Pro. I so don't want to loose that (or start paying those f#%^&s a monthly fee.

That could be a deal breaker here as well.

Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.16 working fine here. I had to bypass GateKeeper to get it to install properly in an earlier build of Sierra but the OS update had no effect.

Acrobat XI isn't behaving since El Cap but I really disliked it compared to X so I have not bothered trying to get it working again.


Bypassing GateKeeper is now a PIA unless you use the following Terminal Command:

sudo spctl --master-disable

It can be re-enabled in System Preferences or with the following command:

sudo spctl --master-enable

Thanks man. I didn't even know about Acrobat XI. Otherwise, same version, so I guess I'll update.

With X Pro, Adobe should have just declared Acrobat done except to update the installer once Gatekeeper became a thing.

XI uses that same license server nonsense they went to with CS 6.

Amazingly, Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 still opened after the update. :-)

Luckily, I don't use Acrobat "Pro".

Nothing to see here, I'm happy to report. All is well, including Acrobat Pro.

I wouldn't call that being lucky. No pdf app comes close to some of the things it can do.

BIAS Peak Pro 7 still not working... it's the last one left on my list at this point, except for Ivory, which will probably be sorted out soon by Synthogy/Ilio as they've been very responsive.

I can't afford Acrobat Pro, but I suppose it's good. Never had the chance to use it, EVER.

For reading PDF's, nothing touches Preview on the Mac -- though it's not as good as it was when it first came out. Maybe Acrobat Pro is a better reader; I just assumed it's the same as the awful free version, except for letting you edit/write.

There's also the 3D version, which can even import 3D data from AutoCAD.

It was not working for you on 10.12.5 either - I am just updating that it does work still on 10.12.6 for me and that the OSX update is not an issue.

I am glad you got DSP Quattro working - that may point the way for Peak Pro to work on your system.
