Em - no. What happens when you open an app when You are offline?

I am not sure, but I suspect it only checks the first time the software runs.

Failed Under Continuous Test

There goes my chance of being an early adopter.

I think most people who do mission critical work wait for a bit before installing. At a minimum, test on a few systems first, then upgrade.

Oh dear, Apply Pay just went to "Outage" on the status page. This really hasn't gone well tonight.

The problem might be when you're offline, you're offline, it can't connect at all. Right now, it tried to connect, but the Apple servers took a longer than expected time to respond due to the load it seems, thus it never got an immediate response, things get slow.

Even this is down!

Yeah, I doubt that's true. Apple signs apps, but it doesn't need to "check in".

Just tried and this is completely true. What the heck.

Did the same thing. Everything worked as it should. Couldn't load any webpages though 😂

Just for your information, there are zero viruses for OS X/macOS....Zero.

Entirely implausible!

yeah right, even T2 has been compromised, and its hardware above all!

I downvoted this for a single reason, there's no need to reinstall macOS, I've said that uncountable times, been using OS X/macOS since the very first 10.0b, never reinstalled, always migrated/updated to a new mac by using a carbon copy of my old system to the new mac, never had major unsolvable issues.

Stop spreading nonsense, macOS does not need to be reinstalled/clean installed.

Whatever man, downvote as much as you like. I prefer to do clean installs, no matter your preference. For me, clean installs help to clean a lot of baggage that I accumulate over the year. And on top of that, doing a clean install is fun.

Fails instantly here as well. Gonna try again tomorrow.

If you want, you can go to the App Store, find MacOS Big Sure, choose 'Get'...software update will open and it will read 'Finding Update'...it will find the update, and then you'll have the choice to download or cancel. Choose download...and THEN you'll get the error. Just a little workaround for the instant failure.

For those having app launches hanging:
you can simply add

127.0.0.1 ocsp.apple.com

into your /etc/hosts file. This will prevent your machine from checking against Apple's severs by redirecting it to the machine itself. The request will fail immediately and your app will launch.

Make sure you remove it again after the ******** ended.

Now I'm just concerned about the fact that my computer is barely functioning.

Houston, we have a problem!

 

[Digital Dude]

Well, somehow, my install went sorta-kinda okay with 11.0.01 on Wednesday. It stuttered and re-started with the usual Apple weirdness,' but it's up and running.

 

[partyfart]

I'll just wait till tommorow for Big Sur.

Showoff.

Show me the way to go home. I’m tired and I wanna go to bed. I had a little drink about an hour ago and it went right to my head.

 

[smithy12]

This wouldn’t have happened in Scott forstall time at Apple ......🤪

 

[adr1974]

What a Big Surcus.

Even Linux needs a wipe and reload from time to time. I usually just reprovision new servers, then reinstall and configure the software. It helps that most of our software is developed in house and we don't need to worry about licensing.

Nonsense regarding macOS, as I said in my last post, I never reinstalled macOS, that's nearly 2 decades of using and not reinstalling OSX/macOS.
This is not server Linux.

Apple Pay gone, iMessage failing...Apple is doomed

As I said: That's a "feature" of macOS. It asks apple's server for every app launch whether it's allowed to open the app or not. And Apple is like completely offline right now. So apps won't launch as they get no answer from apple

If that was true, you wouldn't be able to use a Mac without internet. And we know that's not the case.

8) The Anecdotal Evidence Fallacy
In place of logical evidence, this fallacy substitutes examples from someone's personal experience. Arguments that rely heavily on anecdotal evidence tend to overlook the fact that one (possibly isolated) example can't stand alone as definitive proof of a greater premise.
