Topic: Jeppesen JDM
Posted: 10 Jul 2025 at 9:01am

I have an older imac running macOS Mojave. I can also boot the imac into Windows 7. An individual at Jeppesen sent me two earlier versions of JDM one for macOS ( jdm_3.14.0.60_jdmx_x64.pkg) & the other for Windows (jdm_3.14.0.60_jdmx_x86.exe). Neither of the files would run on these two older operating systems. Is there anyone on here in possession of earlier versions of JDM for either macOS or Windows that you think might run on either of the two operating systems? Obviously they would have to be earlier than the two listed above. In my case upgrading the OS on the mac is not an option.

Rather than try to limp along with two OS's whose ends-of-life were 4 and 5 years ago on a machine that sounds like it's probably ~10 years old, you might consider buying a 2-3 yr old used laptop or desktop with a current OS on it. I'm guessing that if your old iMac is otherwise satisfactory for you, then even low-end machines from the last few years will also be satisfactory. Even something in the $100-200 range would likely be sufficient.

You might even be able to ask around to friends and family and see if anyone has a hand-me-down device they'd be willing to part with.

I really don't appreciate your unnecessary condescending response. Nothing about that iMac "limp's" along to accomplish its jobs! And I don't need to buy another cheap ass computer as you put it. I have a Wombat, an iphone and ipad to get Navdata & Obstacle data from my Jeppesen subscription. It just would be nice to do it sitting in front of the iMac. So your post equates to an irrelevant nothing burger!

I apologize if my suggestion came across as condescending--it was truly not my intent. I was simply thinking about my experience trying to maintain aging computers, and how there might be other options to consider. I don't know your situation or preferences or what else you've considered or are willing to consider. Clearly, this is not a good option for you.

For what it's worth, I drive a 30 year old car, simply because I like it. But also for what it's worth, it long ago stopped being practical or cost-effective to maintain it--if it weren't for my emotional attachment to the car, it would have made a lot more sense for me to buy something newer a long time ago. I've made a choice to keep spending the effort to maintain a car that I like, despite the difficulties of keeping it road-worthy, so I can understand wanting to stick with what you've got.
