Apple Seeds First Beta of macOS 12 Monterey to Developers

[MacRumors]

After today's keynote event that saw the introduction of macOS Monterey, the latest version of the Mac operating system, Apple has seeded the first beta of macOS Monterey to developers for testing purposes.

Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and once the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.

As with all new betas, Apple recommends not installing the new macOS update on a primary machine because it is early release software and could have bugs.

‌macOS Monterey‌ is only available to registered developers right now, but later this summer, Apple will make a public version of the ‌new beta available in July to give public beta testers a chance to try the software before it sees a public launch this fall.

Anybody else getting the prompt to install 11.5 beta 2 instead of macOS 12?

How do I trigger macOS 12 install?

Is there a hardware support breakdown? Curious if my aging iMac didn’t make the cut this year.

If you don’t see it in software update yet here is how to make it appear:

1 go to the kitchen

2 make coffee

3 watch YouTube vids for 30 mins

4 it should appear now

Same here, guess there's something wrong on Apple's end.

After a reboot, now it says macOS 12.

I started downloading 11.5. then canceled and then 12 showed up

When it offers the 11.5 beta click 'Not now' then it searches again and finds the macOS 12 Beta - 11.78 GB

No real world photos (dynamically changing) as a Monterey wallpaper this time?

eGPUs still dead?

These are from the preview website. Wait for the original wallpapers once the beta is downloaded and installed in a few hours.

Could we get them in uncompressed form?

Ouch. What now?

 

[Populus]

I am wondering if it is true that the Low Power mode is not coming to the MacBook Air... Why would Apple limit those computers, and include it on the MacBook Pro and Macbook...

 

[nortonandreev]

Ouch. What now?

I ran the setup again and it has made some progress now. I hope it won't fail again.
