They also just seeded the next Public Beta for Catalina as well! Just thought I’d beat MR to the punch. 6.82 GB
Yes, there is! I just opened my Sys Prefs to check, and voila! There it sat.So there is a new Dev beta and a Public beta build as well?
People still use Skype? Jk!I hope so soon as SfB is awful on Catalina, however I was told MS are winding up SfB dev as they want people to move to Teams
I've seen this and it is really dumb. Very, very confusing to any experienced Mac user. It looks like something went awfully awry, it doesn't look like anything Apple did intentionally.MacOS Catalina occupies two partitions, one for the system software that is mounted as read-only by default and one for user-generated data (users folder, installed apps, etc.) that is mounted as read-write. This message is referring to the system partition, but it really needs to be rephrased to make that more clear. The files on the data partition should be safe.
Is it me or are this year's betas a lot rougher than last year's?
This doesn't bode well for a trouble-free release later this year. I do hope they can get all the problems worked out, but I may end up waiting a bit before upgrading this time around.

Oh god.. Here we go!
I can't imagine iCloud stuff is going to get any worse.. So fingers crossed.

Yes my update is taking forever. It restarted itself after maybe 30 minutes on Estimated but now has spent another 20 minutes with the bar very slowly moving, no estimate on screen and it’s still only up to left side of Apple logo.Anyone else been stuck on “estimated time remaining” for the last 90 minutes?
What in Heavens name has Skype to do with a MacOS upgrade?Any updates for Skype for business?
Nope, I had issues and still have with Time Machine, buggy like hell, also, if you're fairly low on space it's hard to install the betas, I had major headaches going from the first beta to the second, then third and can't Update to beta 4, says I need 10.54 GB, system reports I have 16.93 GB, still refuses to update, like the other times before this one.

So is this safe to install the public beta? That warning "Macintosh HD contains files on the root of the volume. If you continue installation, these files will be deleted" is alarming. Has anyone installed it?

Yep I've sent some feedback!I’ve noticed issues with the new music app in the past week, myself. Have you tried sending that feedback? That’s always the best way to get it resolved.
Also, I use an external monitor for work and thankfully haven’t had issues plugging into it. I’m using a 13” mid-2017 MBP with a 27” Dell USB-C monitor.
It's always safe if you are sensible, have at least one backup, you should always have a recent backup, hardware will always fail, the question is, how soon.

I see you have the 128GB machine, I remember those days when I had the 2015 Retina 13inch base model, and damn I hated the 128GB storage, that was one of the biggest mistakes I made... always struggling with storage and trying to find ways to free some space. ARGHHH!!!!! Never again have I touched the base 128GB storage models, its a complete waste of money imo.
Anyways, good luck with your beta, I hope you find a way to install it
Is anyone else being asked to authorize notifications for each app when it starts for the first time after the update finishes.
