to be honest, what you are experiencing is the upgrading of your operating
system to yosemite.
i used to have macs for years and often i would find that after a few
upgrades the market didnt support various versions of older software so
they stopped developing it for newer macs. it sounds like you should go
back and have one machine for your older software that you were comfortable
with, and a newer one for the other features youre seeking. or dual
partition your hard drive so you can have both! :)
