The highest version of macOS admitting Encore is Mojave (10.14). This means it can’t be installed on any of the recent models (post 2019) of iMac at all. I keep an “old” Mac mini 2012 to run Encore, having access to it from my Mac Studio via Screen Sharing. It’s the best I could think of. 😉
As posted above, any Mac built between 2012 and mid 2018 will run Encore but it needs to be 5.07. For some weird reason, in GetInfo, the correct build will show up as 5.06 1303M.
Mojave 10.14.4 and later is the only reliable macOS for this. You can install it on its own APFS Volume leaving your other APFS Volume to run your preferred macOS — Apple has support docs on this. That said, there are still bugs and major annoyances that will never be fixed unless Don releases Encore 6 which is looking less likely as the months progress.
Encore 5.06 was one of those horrible beta versions and should be removed completely. A few of us have the correct build and instructions for making it work on a Mac, myself included. I include instructions on removing older builds.
Hi Mike,
I understand what you said in the post above, but will Encore run on an M1 Mac mini if it is built between those years? You see, I have a Mac mini with an M1, and Encore does not work. However, it was built in 2020. Just checking before invest in older computer for back up.I hope you are feeling better,
ThanksNo! It’s been said again and again: Encore cannot be run in any version of macOS above Mojave (10.14.6). There is no way to run a 32 bit Intel app on a M1 Mac mini.
but will Encore run on an M1 Mac mini if it is built between those years?
NO.
There is no such thing as an M1 Mac introduced between 2012–2018. In fact, an Intel Mac introduced in September 2019 or later cannot run Mojave either—those shipped with Catalina with no support for 32 bit applications such as Encore. My wife has one of those 2019–2020 Intel iMacs.
