  You can link the n8/n12 with Steinberg DAW software Cubase and Nuendo.

To upgrade to El Capitan you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download El Capitan from the App Store. How do I upgrade my Mac from 10.6 8 to High Sierra? If you’re running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) or Lion (10.7) and your Mac supports macOS High Sierra, you will need to upgrade to El Capitan first. Download Mac OS X Lion from the Mac App Store. This will update your existing 10.6.8 installation to 10.7 and takes about 20 to 40 minutes after it has been downloaded, depending on the speed of your hard drive. I purchased Norton Security Deluxe. I have tried to install it. I get a message that I have MAC OS x 10.6.8-but, it requires MAC OS x 10.7. My updates say that have the most current software.

Note

Operation of a n12/n8^*1 connected via an Apple MD464 Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter
We have confirmed^*2 that audio and MIDI data is correctly transferred by the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver via an Apple MD464 Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter between a n12/n8 and a Mac computer equipped with a Thunderbolt port.

(1) If a Mac computer not equipped with a FireWire port (i.e., a Retina MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or iMac) is started up without the Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter connected, a “Failed to initialize” error message will be displayed. However, the computer will operate normally in such a case.
(2) To prevent the above message from being displayed, connect the Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter before starting up the computer.
(3) If the Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter is disconnected without first powering down the Mac computer, the computer will need to be restarted in order to continue transferring audio and MIDI data using the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver.

*1: n12/n8 firmware version 1.03, IEEE1394 firmware 1.07.
*2: Operation has been confirmed under test conditions; however, this does not guarantee correct operation in all conceivable situations. Yamaha can accept no liability whatsoever for damages of any kind resulting from use.

* The computer must have an IEEE 1394 (FireWire or i.LINK, etc.) connector. If there is no connector, install an IEEE1394 interface card (PCI or PC). When using a laptop or notebook computer, a built-in IEEE1394 terminal may not be available. If this is the case, install an appropriate PC interface card.
