Apple Releases macOS Catalina With Find My, Screen Time, and No More iTunes

[occamsrazor]

After IOS13 messed up Reminders syncing, and even something as fundamental as receiving emails is now way less reliable than before... I'll stay way clear of this until it has settled down. Burned once etc

I'm usually an early adopter but I've still got a lot of work to do to transition all my Aperture libraries to Lightroom. I've only had 5 years. 😆

Silly you... 🤣

Lightroom? Nah, you should consider Capture One! 😇

Updating my Macbook early 2016 atm.
After the third, what looked like normal restart, I had to manually boot with the power button to progress

Is there a summary of capability that used to reside in iTunes and where it’s moved to? I.e., if you used to do this in iTunes, you now do it here... if you used to do this in iTunes, you can’t do it anywhere now.

Keep getting update Apple ID settings? I update then a few seconds later it comes up again?

It asked for the password about 5 times but then it worked.

Where is the 10.15.1 beta 1? *stamps ground*

Remember kids, 32-bit apps are NOT supported on Catalina.

Second correction: no, AAM, the application manager, is still 32-bit, even though the programs it manages are 64-bit.

Answer, yes, miraculously, they did.

Has Adobe updated those 32-bit installer/service executables that sit under the 64-bit programs?

 

[Ener Ji]

Like many people, I plan to hold off on Catalina for a while until I'm sure I won't miss 32-bit app support.

Does Apple continue to provide downloads for older OS's (e.g. Mojave) for a long period of time? I'm wondering how hard it will be if I need to install or re-install Mojave six or 18 months down the road.

 

[Glockworkorange]

is there any way to check if there are 32bit apps on the system?

During the beta, it checked and gave you a notification before installing.

Same here. On the 5th attempt, I had my iPad connected using sidecar and it asked for my iPad password. I wonder if that's what got me over the edge?

Luckily I didn't have to do anything drastic like sign out and in or reset keychain

Given how horrible the betas were, I’m not touching this.

I’m calling BS

Used beta 6 to the gm, erased the drive and everything, It's still trash . GM works like a beta and the beta builds were like pre alpha, it's that buggy. Stupid mail app popup still doesn't get fixed, keep asking "do you want to open" keep showing when using the vmware, Music app is worse than iTunes somehow with less functionality and somehow slower, it also lost my artwork in the process. The TV app is straight up garbage. Change the display profile of external monitor and then open the lid it resets. So yeah it's trash, trash like apple QA in the last 3 years

Sounds on par with the state of iOS 13.

I did the full install and when it restarted I was still on Mojave. Now downloading again.

V strange.

Gone are the days when OS updates offer a whole brand new user experience or groundbreaking changes.

Technology is getting boring.

When I tried downloading Catalina through the App Store from beta 11 I got this error after downloading. Guess we can't update to the final release if you're on the GM.

15.1 here we come!

Click On details under this Mac is Enrolled in the Developer beta program. Then click restart, Then do a software update. If you don't as you stated 15.1 here we come you if previous years are anything to go by you will start receiving betas for 15.1 etc

I wouldn’t touch this with a 10 foot pole until 10.15.5.

 

[petvas]

Has anyone used Citrix with the new version and it has been ok?

I have used the beta and it works ok. The released stable version doesn't work though. https://www.citrix.de/downloads/wor...ch-previews-000/workspace-app-tp-for-mac.html

I’m sure Valentine’s Day is exceptionally frustrating too.

The new Macbook Pro should be coming soon now that the new Mac OS has been released.

 

[Seoras]

How many like myself are using a 32 bit version of PhotoShop?
You know, the pay once installed version that works great and needs no update which I use almost daily.
I won't be upgrading to Catalina because I won't be taking out a monthly subscription from Adobe.
Adobe must be over the moon about this update.

 

[Godzilla71]

n/m seen the solution

Uh, yeah, about this time next year...

 

[Arcade]

I'm ready to install Catalina.

 

[BornAgainMac]

Off to play my last game of Civ IV... (sniff)

I thought I saw that in the Mac App store the other day. Is that the latest version that sells for around $60 bucks or was the one in the store an updated version?

Sign out of iCloud and back again.
