I want to upgrade my Mac to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). I want to know if MATLAB and related products are compatible with this OS.

Best Answer

MATLAB R2014b and later are fully supported on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El Capitan). We recommend you update to R2014b or later if you are using OS X 10.10 or later.
MATLAB R2011a through R2014a may trigger a Java exception and exit on startup on OS X 10.10 and 10.11. Once patched, they appear to work normally, but full compatibility is not guaranteed. The patch can be downloaded from the bug report that can be accessed from the link below:
https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1098655
Launching MATLAB on some versions of Mac OS X 10.10 or 10.11 may also display the following error message in a dialog:
"You can't use this version of the application".
This issue can be resolved by following the steps in the Bug Report linked below:

MATLAB releases R2008b through R2010b should work on Mac OS X without a patch. However you will need to install <https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US Legacy Java 6> and XQuartz to run these releases on 10.10 or 10.11.
To our knowledge, MATLAB R2008a and earlier will not run on Mac OS X 10.10 and 10.11. You may be able to get this configuration to work with by installing Legacy Java 6 and XQuartz, but generally these releases will not run on these operating systems.
