Apple Releases First Beta of macOS 14 Sonoma to Developers

[NecRosex]

Anyone managed to bypass "your apple ID is currently not enrolled in the selected beta programme"?
iOS still works even if you don't pay the fee!

Check on your device not the webpage. I went on my iPhone - toggled beta selction off, then on and after a few seconds iOS 17 Developer Beta appeared and downloaded. Same on my iPad for iPadOS 17. Same on my MBP for macOS 14.

I turned mine OFF now I have no option to turn it on at all.

So)) When you guys install this, could you please let us know if the desktop widgets can live behind application windows, or will they always sit on top. Thanks)

Im still able to get the ios17 developer beta after installing the ios16 beta profile on my iPhone and iPad but no on the Mac.

I get this even if I'm paying.

I guess macOS Pasadena wasn’t in the cards. 😂

I did the same. Now we're screwed I think.

So I turned mine OFF, then I got nothing, then restarted my MacBook and then got the options.

Luck you. I tried it using your steps and nothing. Not even public beta for 13.x anymore

When are they gonna concentrate on optimizing performance and realize users dont care about all this fluff they are adding?

I love some of the new additions and find my mbp pro m2 works just fine.

 

[nikhsub1]

Yeah it's all good now, think the settings had to propagate. My devices all got the option now.

Oh? How?

Didn't get mine to pop up immediately after the restart, had to close and refresh Settings app again... it's acting weird, just keep trying, it should eventually show up ... I'm at the "preparing stage" at the moment, installing soon.

Yep. That worked for me too.

Apple weren't very clear about this.

Clarity in explaining such details has never been one of apple's strengths.

 

[NecRosex]

Oh? How?

Keep closing the Settings app or just back out of Software Update page and refresh .. it'll show up.

 

[Soi Dog]

i hope they bring back the old settings window. the new one is a failure.

My hometown! Love it.

Hm, interesting, it sees your Apple ID, but doesn't charge you for the beta program?..

 

[djlythium]

C'mon, iCloud Backup for macOS?! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 

[jwm]

Has anyone done any testing on Parallels yet? Just curious how much is broken on day one.

 

[XMI]

In Sonoma 14, multi-monitor screensavers are back to being really broken (as bad as early Ventura 13.3 betas, and worse than in 13.4).

hoping that theres some gnarly updates to Calendar, Reminders, Notes, and Contacts for those whose first thought of new OSes is 'how will this help my GTD workflow'

I heard its development title is Mac OS Yawn.
