Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) support for Maya on the Mac

Important notice for Autodesk® Maya® 2012 software, and prior Maya version, users regarding the latest Apple® Mac OS® X operating system release, version 10.7 “Lion”.

Testing Maya 2012, and prior versions of Maya, on the Mac OS X 10.7 operating system, has identified platform compatibility issues.  

The issues:

• Installing Maya on Mac OS X 10.7 may cause the installer to hang.
• Operating Maya on Mac OS X 10.7 may cause stability issues.
• When submitting a crash report while operating Maya on Mac OS X 10.7, may cause the crash error reporting system to hang.

If you upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7, you may encounter these issues. Autodesk recommends that users of Maya 2012, and prior releases of Maya, do not upgrade to the Mac OS X 10.7 until the compatibility issues have been addressed by Autodesk and Apple. Teams from both companies are working closely to resolve these issues and a notification will be issued once the issues have been addressed.

Note: As of this time, Autodesk® Maya® 2012 software has not been certified to run on Mac OS X 10.7. Please consult the certification charts for more information.

I find it disappointing that Autodesk chooses not to participate in the OS X betas to make sure Apple releases something that works for us. Please consider acting in a manner that is consistent your expect of your own customers. Log bugs DURING the beta cycle, rather than after.
