Software Partners
Many of our products are dependent on software for all functionality and control while the device is connected to a computer. Our products may be considered "supported" for an operating system, but will not be functional until software support is also available. So, It is crucial that you weigh software compatibility before choosing to update your system.
Please check with the developers for your preferred software titles for the latest in compatibility before choosing to update. We've listed a few key titles below for your convenience.

How do I prevent my system from updating automatically?
Please be sure to check that your operating system is not enabled to update itself automatically. While this can be a useful feature for some, anyone who relies on the stability of their software tools should prefer control over which base operating system is installed on their system.
Automatic updates will not account for software compatibility before updating, which could lead to problems with stability and other functionality if your gear is not ready for the changes in the operating system.
To avoid any delays or downtime, it's best to deliberate when making the decision to update and use the opportunity to check that all your software tools will be compatible before making the jump. To turn off automatic updates for macOS, please do the following:
- Navigate to System Settings > General > Software Update
- Click the Information (i) icon beside Automatic Updates
- Uncheck all boxes below:
- Click Done to apply the changes
