Apple Releases macOS Mojave With Dark Mode, Stacks, Dynamic Desktop and More

[Mattsasa]

We are still expecting an October Mac event yea?

for low-cost MacBook, mac mini, and possible other things?

I would have guessed this release would have aligned with that event.

 

[namethisfile]

Anyone else going to wait for the point release or at least bug reports before upgrading?

No. My Mac is not for work tho. So, I can just willy-nilly this thing without repercussions!

Late 2011 Mac Book Pro, Core i5 2.4GHz, not supported. Has SSD and 16GB of RAM, not supported. Runs better than my 2012 iMac without an SSD, not supported.

 

[dogslobber]

Perhaps, but 18A389 will not update to 18A391 using software update. The full installer needs to be downloaded.

Possibly. I'll be installing 10.14.1 beta 1 over 18A389 anyway (hope tomorrow!) so 18A391 is not something I'm worried about.

 

[AjTee]

On it

So what is Apple going to do about FileVault and Boot Camp on the Mac Pro 5,1? We've lost those features?

 

[iapplelove]

This machine was only discontinued just under two years ago so I'd reckon it's got another 3-4 years of OS upgrades in it yet.

This is music to my ears. I upgraded the RAM to 16gb and it’s running a SSD.

Thing works amazingly efficient!

So I unenrolled from the Beta Seed, then clicked the link here and took me to the App Store, clicked Get now downloading though thru the Software Updates in the system preferences. That's very different for those of us on 18A389.

UPDATE: Downloaded in under 2 minutes full 6.02GB.

Yeah, I sort of got lucky with my Mac Pro 5,1 that I bought 2 years ago that it is still supported in Mojave with a Metal-capable GPU. But, it is the only Mac I have now that can run it. My Mid-2010 15" MBP will be stuck in the High Sierra mountains....

 

[Chris The Bipolarbear]

just turned up on developer page

 

[travelsheep]

Not sure if I ever see my desktop. Usually it's hidden under a whole bunch of windows.

 

[martyjmclean]

Downloading it now! I have a few work projects to finish first but I can't wait to dump the mess that is High Sierra.

 

[MisterAndrew]

Apple is putting up a list of recommended graphics cards for the Mac Pro 5,1 (2010 & 2012). It's going to be here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208898. Linked from here: https://www.apple.com/macos/how-to-upgrade/

Is this release the same as the latest Public Beta? If so, I would wait if I were you.

iTunes and my new iPhone XS do not like each other.

 

[HowieIsaacks]

A very sad and depressing day to all of us who still using an older Mac from 2009, 2010, or 2011...

Would you like cheese with that whine? Apple can't support all Macs forever.

 

[Rocko99991]

It's been like that for a year or two. Non-retina displays look awful.

High Sierra looks fine on the Air's screen. Mojave is 10x worse.

Download completed and now it's on to the installation.

Hi,
Instead of waiting for Mojave to show up on the Mac App Store's Updates, did your download and installation work?
Thx,
Ken

Two more years of HS patches then switch to Win 10. Microsoft still cares about us.

Right...

is it worth it on a 2017 imca 21.4 inch? im scared it will get slower

 

[mozumder]

How different is Mac OS Mojave Server?

Is this release the same as the latest Public Beta?

It's not.

 

[cylack]

The reason a lot of the older machines can’t run Mojave is that Apple is requiring the GPU to support Metal 2.

 

[Habakuk]

Don't install if you're running an old iTunes version! (I do btw.) Especially version 12.6.5 where you have access to the iOS App Store. According to German online magazine Mac&i/Heise it won't work any more under Mojave!

Other software needs updates, p.e. Cubase by Steinberg. There are problems with other audio software as well.

All the features Apple warned would be gone, are gone. (although the actual release version is not out yet.)
