Apple Seeds Fifth Beta of macOS Catalina to Developers

[Chris The Bipolarbear]

hopefully it's not because it's taken them 2 weeks to install beta 5 to test it out...

More like they couldn’t install it

Catalina is so unstable that I have even removed from my test machine and gone back to mojave

I’m waiting for Apple to run out of Well known California locations so they have to resort to places like MAC OS 20.15 Murder Mountain or MAC OS 18.3 Florence and Normandy

Lots of Names left like:

Lassen
Tahoe
Palm Springs
Sequoia
Farallones
Eureka
Shasta
Miramar
Carmel
Cypress
Hollywood
Mendocino
Malibu
Truckee

But based on Apple's decline under Tim Cook into stupidity and mediocrity with programmers who couldn't get hired at Google, Facebook or Salesforce, the OS after Catalina really needs to be called:

Mac OS 10.16 Death Valley

At least everyone I know can pronounce Catalina ok. You should have heard some of the dodgy Yosemite ones coming from here in Europe. I might have been one of them ...

I was having this, but couldn't find anyone else having it (admittedly I didn't search here). I just sorted it last week - I signed out of iCloud on my mac and back in and after a restart App Store let me sign in and download updates.

Sign out of iCloud and back in resolved this problem for me.

went in smoothly for me (MBP15 2018)
Yet to experience a bug of any kind.

This looks like a very sold and stable release (after admittedly only a couple of hours)

I have a 2018 MB Pro and I have already reported 60+ bugs since joining the Catalina Beta Program

macOS Weed.

Craig is the best part of Apple these days.

most of the problem with Catalina is they are trying to change to much in one go. if they release this mess in September to October it will be a disaster, needs at least another years work before release. (Or scraping and starting again from the ground UP)
