Apple Releases macOS Mojave 10.14.4 With Safari Automatic Dark Mode and Apple News+ Support

Updating from 10.14.3 to 10.14.4 caused my 2013 Mac Pro to go into kernel panic. Called Apple and they told me to restore from my TimeMachine backup and not to update to 10.14.4. They are going to escalate the issue up the chain.

If I try to install a clean install of 10.14.4 the computer completely freezes. But I have an old copy of High Sierra that installs perfectly. Then if I try to update to 10.14.4 it goes into kernel panic again.

Yup, happening for me, too. Only Google-hosted accounts. Every other IMAP account is working fine. The authentication flow specifically mentions "macOS", so this is a specialized handshake between Google and Macs that seems to be broken.

Why wasn't this issue detected during beta testing, I wonder? Something Apple or Google forgot to update for the latest release version?

Updated a 2013 MacBook Air without any problems at all (other than Google hates Mail.app).

Maybe its only certain macs with specific configurations..Ive read about people having issues with past updates that have stuff Ive never heard of on their macs, I have nothing of the sort, no weird software, etc
I have outlook I assume with that the mail.app is OK

ok I figured out
go to safari / preferences
go to advance tab and click on show develop menu in menu bar
close that

now go to safari develop tab, between bookmarks and window and go to experimental features
make sure Dark Mode CCS Support is selected
if not then select it

if all options are grey out, that you can't select them
simply quit safari and open it up again
and go to experimental features again
now you should be able to enable that option but I think is already selected by default

to test that the safari dark mode is active and working , go here

https://kevinchen.co/blog/support-macos-mojave-dark-mode-on-websites/

it looks super cool, but we need support from more web sites
I guess it will take some time until they update their page source code

Mac rumors should have support for this feature

edit
weird , I think it might still be on beta because is under experimental features
and for some reason it doesn't work on apple web site
they should be the first to support this

nice cool feature but unfortunately useless without any support or use for it

Or, use Night Eye.

I am looking forward to the day when we see: "includes new bugs, no improvements, worsens the stability and reliability of your Mac". Just once, Apple, come on. I mean, by now Macs should be 597% stable and have -592 bugs.

^ Armchair programmer comment, there are >million lines of code if not 10's of millions, There is no way humans can do this without any mistake.
Find yourself another OS which is 100% like Windows or Linux, non of them are bug free either, worse, those are crap.

Night Eye killed safari for me, on the newest 15 inch Mac Book Pro and I just get beach ball and sites take forever to load and then machine gives up on me lol

Ah, that's why I see some beachballs and slow like molasses, will disable it for now, it has been just released so can't expect it to be 100%, had some bugs with it.

Yes I do have a 2015 model, and it's really too bad it was removed afterward - I really liked all of them.

I found them very useful too. You know when you could let go certain keys after startup.

Apple doesn't support high end GPUs in the latest update. What a surprise!

High prices but no high end. That’s the way Timmy likes it :(

Same thing happened to my 2013 Mac Pro. CPU Panic: NMIPI for unresponsive processor. Restored 10.14.3 from TimeMachine.

Sorry to hear this. My 2013 MacPro had no issue, knock on wood. I would be interested in what  has to say down the road.

Any issue with your macbook freezing? Someone posted on the mojave 10.14.4 thread that their macbook periodically freezes from time to time

Unfortunately, I don't keep full system TimeMachine backups. I just backup certain directories with client files. I'll have to wait for a fix and downgrade to High Sierra. I can't find way to do a fresh install of 10.14.3.

I'll start doing full system backups once this is all resolved.

It has just been released, bit buggy, I had similar problems like the one poster below.
Click to expand...
I found another one but is not free
it seems like all similar apps still need some polishing
because they are new, but that's a start I guess
just in case, just for knowing proposes
http://alexdenk.eu/mywork/darkmode.html
you can just search for it in the App Store

Dark Mode For Safari
the extension is also included with night owl bundle

I have a 2017 iMac, 27-inch monitor, about 40 Gig. RAM and many peripherals. I upgraded to 10.14.4 today without any problem but have found many issues while running under the new operating system. Bluetooth has been very flaky and I've had to attached a wired mouse and keyboard. At one point all my connected hard disks (there are three) simultaneously lost their connection to the Mac. Each of these is plugged directly into the iMac. Finally, I've had a couple of instances of frozen iMac which required a complete reboot. I didn't have any of these problems prior to the upgrade.

Yes, this is happening to me with my Google Account with the Mail.App on my Mac and also my iPad/iPhone since the update - I can't log in as it's asking for my password every time and if I delete the account from my device I can't re-setup !

The funny thing with the chime is that I always turned it off before I rebooted on older Macs, but now that it's gone I really miss it.

I would turn off the chime if it was a tick box option.
Late night restarting when the missus is sleeping, and I'm panicking.
