Of course, prior to that, as I mentioned above, I had already insured that all my third party applications are compatible with the new OS. from a just completed SuperDuper! backup/clone. Myself, when I move from one OS to the next, I always do a clean, fresh installation of the new OS, then migrate/copy all the necessary files, folders, settings, apps, etc. The key is to make the proper preparations for the move/upgrade. I've had no issues at all with Catalina, and I'm now on V10.15.4. By that time, just about all the bugs in the initial releases of Catalina were fixed. Because of that, and Tech Tool Pro being the last to provide an update, I did not move to Catalina until V10.15.3 of it had been released. Myself, I did not "move" from Mojave to Catalina until all my third party applications were compatible with Catalina. I don't use it on the net.Ĭlick to expand.Yeah, I was going to suggest waiting until V10.15.5 is released. So this machine's on the skids to the e-cycle, basically. Apple still lets you download El Capitan for Macs that can't run Mojave, but it appears to have ceased doing security updates for El Cap. It gets the job done for serving up movies and TV shows already bought from iTunes, plus owned music libraries and stuff on DVDs. I still have an (obsolete) modified mid-2010 MacBook with an SSD running El Capitan. So the whole music and audibooks thing is headed for the new MBA and ability to drag and drop the files in Catalina on the laptop and iOS13 on the mobiles. I don't happen to want to use the Audible app on my mobiles. Also the whole thing about being unable to get my Audible files from Mojave to iOS13 Books app is a pain in the neck. I can't connect the mobiles to the notebook anymore through iTunes, so I've resorted to use of iMazing. With the MBP I also have got tired of not being able to transfer files easily without a third party app operating between iOS13 music and Mojave OS I still have stuff in iTunes I like to be able to transfer from the laptop. I tend to like the walled garden as a best or nothing approach (obviously not always perfect), and really wish they'd require iOS developers for example to have iPad formatted apps. My two cents regarding the 32-bit app support is that Apple has provided plenty of time since the POWERPC G5 CAME OUT NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO (!!!) for developers to update. I do always recommend people do a fresh install and then restore from Time Machine via Migration Assistance with ANY Mac OS upgrade, as well as do a clean install/restore every year regardless as a regular maintenance (same for iOS). the Metal 2.0 upgrade in Catalina has actually increased performance and reduced memory usage in this area. Generally speaking, since most folks are working with blueprints, etc. I'm running Catalina (only recently upgraded) on all of our office computers (mostly late 2015 5k iMacs), my early 2013 15" Retina MBP, my trashcan MP and on a 2009 Unibody MacBook (using dosdude patch) and everything is more or less running without a hitch (only complaint is the Apple Mail popup which we also experienced starting with Mojave. If someone can dilute my concerns about “cloud upgrading and going back” with technical information, I give thanks in advance. (Mojave is running without a hiccup in my 2019 iMac). I won’t even try this new OS on external, till I find a good reason. The problem is the cloud, an important part of system now. And I don’t have the time for planning all this new sync & possible way back if I don’t like Catalina. And this is almost a nonsense using an unconnected mac is possible and maybe enough for many, but impossible for my basic tasks and running apps (Dropbox, Keychain, OneDrive, AppleMusic.).īeing a happy Mojave user, I still haven’t found something that Catalina would do better for my use. So I thought about disconnecting from internet when testing this new Catalina installation. I thought that perhaps it would be my preferred bootdisk if Catalina goes ok, and could occasionally use some 32bit apps I need booting in Mojave.īut my most worrying concern was about all iCloud and services and synchronization across all my devices. In fact, I acquired a M2 1TB blade & usb 3.1 gen 2 case surpassing 900mb/s read speed. I was thinking about just doing as you tell.
