My Mac isn’t alerting me with messages or allowing FaceTime calls. Help!
Catalina is junk. It auto installed on my Mac air and all I get all over my screen is warning weather app my damage your computer should be trashed However it won’t trash and neither will any of the 4 apps that came with Catalina Your instructions state to select Catalina and re-install but it won’t trash either.
I too used to love updates, but this is ridiculous. More time fixing things than being productive. I was hoping the 10.15.1 update would help some, but it fails with the only thing telling me to check my internet connection, but I have 75Mbps per a speed test and no other network issues.
Same issue, won’t complete the download & says to check my internet connection (which is fine). Anyone found a solution for this yet?
It is banker logic, they dont want to pay for beta testers. Instead they use the faithful or brainwashed to install these systems so they become FREE beta testers. The Mac OS is the same as Windows
Yay! my Softraid monitor works now.
After update my mac Sometime will force shutdown. 「your mac because some problems to restart」
Your Catalina system is costing me thousands because it has disabled the use of Serato DJ .
If you depend on software that is not compatible with macOS Catalina it’s best to avoid Catalina. There is no reason to update if your current system works, despite what Apple aggressively pushes.
I don’t think Apple cares about the Mac anymore though and it shows
If you’re referring to something that requires 32 bit support which is no longer in catalina….that’s been highly publicized and software companies have known that was coming for literally years.
So if you’ve been living under a rock and didn’t pay attention, well then what do you expect Apple to do? Call you personally before catalina is released and review your specific situation?
Apple software seems to be in perpetual beta these recent years. I wish they would spend more time (years) in rigoruously testing, rather thatn this endless update cycle.
Call me a curmugeon, but I really think OS X peaked at Snow Leopard and has been gradually (or not so gradually) declining. I used to love new OS releases…now, I dread them. I really wish it wasn’t so.
Not showing up. on gold master still…
