Matlab R2013a and OSX 10.10 Yosemite

[Dragonfall]

Looks like OSX Yosemite broke Matlab. I don't want to spend 100$ to upgrade to this year's version just to make it work. Suggestions?

It's kind of a tough spot. You probably need to either upgrade MATLAB, or downgrade Yosemite to Mavericks.

Of the two options, I'd say upgrade to R2014b. It has tons of new features anyway (as well as a new graphics system), so it's well worth the $100.

I just thought of this. Gonna have to Boot Camp. Got a few copies of Windows here anyway.

Wanted to run Parallels but not sure about performance.

Matlab has always been a pain to install on Unix-based systems.

I understand the frustration of encountering compatibility issues with software. In this case, it seems that the update to OSX Yosemite has caused issues with Matlab R2013a. While it may be tempting to upgrade to the latest version of Matlab, it is understandable that the cost may be a barrier.

One suggestion would be to try troubleshooting the issue and see if there are any workarounds or updates available for R2013a that could potentially resolve the compatibility issue with Yosemite. Additionally, reaching out to the Matlab support team for assistance may also be helpful.

Another option could be to explore alternative software options that are compatible with OSX Yosemite. This could potentially be a more cost-effective solution in the long run.

In any case, it is important to carefully consider the cost and benefits of upgrading to the latest version of Matlab or exploring alternative software options before making a decision. Ultimately, the best course of action will depend on the specific needs and constraints of the individual or organization.
