SUMMARY

OSX 10.10 Yosemite is incompatible with Matlab R2013a, necessitating either an upgrade to Matlab R2014b or a downgrade to OSX Mavericks. Users express reluctance to pay $100 for the upgrade but acknowledge the benefits of new features and improved graphics in R2014b. Additionally, running Matlab on Windows via Boot Camp or Parallels is discussed, with concerns about performance on Unix-based systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Matlab R2013a and its compatibility issues with OSX Yosemite
  • Familiarity with OSX versions, specifically Yosemite and Mavericks
  • Knowledge of virtualization tools like Parallels and Boot Camp
  • Awareness of Matlab's graphics system enhancements in R2014b
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the new features and improvements in Matlab R2014b
  • Explore the process of downgrading OSX from Yosemite to Mavericks
  • Investigate performance comparisons between Boot Camp and Parallels for running Matlab
  • Learn about installation challenges of Matlab on Unix-based systems
USEFUL FOR

Matlab users, software developers, and IT professionals seeking solutions for compatibility issues between Matlab and OSX versions.

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.
