Apple Releases macOS Monterey With AirPlay to Mac, Live Text, Safari Updates, Shortcuts App and More

[mrchinchilla]

iOS updates definitely seem to be given precedence over macOS. iOS 15.1 only took a minute to download (1.something GB) on my iPhone and iPad, whereas Monterey (12~ GB) is going to take 40 minutes.

MacOS Catalina security update has also been released for those who care (like my trusty old MacBook Pro 2012)

 

[nutmac]

First you get 11.6.1. b4 you get 12.0.1...

That's not true. I was using 11.6 and I got 12.0.1.

Makes me wonder also. Installing it now... and for a "security fix" going extremely slow. Trying my M1 Mac Mini in a moment.

 

[Wildkraut]

I have looked during the last couple MacOS upgrades, but I can't find where the download is saved on my Mac. I would like to know where the file is saved, so I don't have to download it multiple times. Can anyone enlighten me?

 

[JuicelessMango]

are you sure? I just cancelled my 11.6.1 install because hoping to go to 12 directly?

I had 11.6.1 downloading on my MacBook Air because Monterey hadn't shown up yet like it did for my M1 iMac. I just cancelled 11.6.1 and am now downloading Monterey on the Air. So looks like 11.6.1 is definitely not needed.

 

[rb24]

why does "preparing update" always take so long? (ioS and OSX). What's going on?

 

[ValSalva]

Yes! Downloading in Connecticut

 

[igotjays22]

So strange...I was downloading 11.6.1 and then once that finished and the machine was about to restart, it gave me the option to download Monterey...

 

[QCassidy352]

As a 2015 Macbook pro user, not sure I want to risk this one when the best features aren’t available to me anyway.

 

[Eidorian]

I'm just here for the backgrounds and screen savers. Downloading OS X Monterey now
