Apple Seeds Sixth Beta of macOS Mojave to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
After reading updates from several developers who had the same white circle-slash failure with DB 5, I updated to DB 6 without incident.
Following this mate. Also use my iMac heavily for these same 2 reasons so would love to know how Mojave performs.
There is a warning in the seed note that printing may not be possible in this beta.
Several people are also reporting that they are unable to print in this beta.
If you need to print then you can use another mac with high sierra.
Alternatively create a high sierra volume on the same mac that has mojave and boot to that volume instead if you need to print.

Good news: Discord now works... Bad News: Copying and pasting images into messages no longer works. UGH!
The Public Beta dropped so I’m going to dive in. Just gotta complete and deliver two mission critical jobs and then my iMac is ready for experimenting.
Same here except my battery life has definitely taken a hit since Beta 5 and I'm no longer able to use 'Continuity Camera'

Not likely going to happen. Even though Apple pushes Time Machine, I'm not sure if they really care about it anymore to update it. I have a feeling that Apple might replace Time Machine with an iCloud backup solution. We can have darn near everything in iCloud now a days; pictures, videos, music, our desktops, the only thing that's missing are full backup images of our Macs.
well it is.... I ain't gonna deny... but I need it sometimes because of customers.
well one thing you both can agree on is that you both like that snow leopard wallpaperOh look! It's another me!
lol, jk...
Or maybe not?
Let's see:
Not a fan of 10.10 and later UI design, just like me.
Has a partition with Mavericks installed, just like me.
Has the same profile picture, just like me.
This is suspicious.
so do i
when I first saw your avatar picture I though you were guy clark
but no I was wrong, you are another user that uses the same picture
guy clark has been using that picture for quite some time
probably before you even you started using yours
but hey no problem at least I can figure out who's who by the user name
I do agree with guy clark about DU
EC had the worse DU ever, broken incomplete and no raid support
can't wait for Mojave, one thing is for sure, I like Mojave dark theme more than windows
but that is just me
I hope I don't see another green hulk any time soon
For the last few betas on my mid 2013 MacBook Air Siri is not working. The UI opens and the waveform graphic moves to show it is hearing my voice but then after a few seconds I get that it's has no network connection. Anyone else? Any ideas on fixes?
Hopefully Zoom keeps eating its lunch. Despite its corny name Zoom has earned its stripes as a top performer. Best video conferencing I’ve ever seen and highly bandwidth adaptable.
Really? Link to that? Thanks!

Then I would not use it. I want a local stand-alone Time Machine solution that I can use when Internet is not available.
"Do you want to set up backup with iCloud? iCloud is a reliable Apple cloud service. Your backup quota: 5 GB."
High Sierra doesn't support APFS on Fusion Drives, so if you somehow managed to convert your Fusion Drive to APFS, it's no wonder HS doesn't work properly. But that doesn't mean it's a mess or buggy, it means you did something you were not supposed to do.
Lightroom for me it's crashing constantly..I'm using a 13" MBP2015 and I switched to Capture One because of this...I send a log to Adobe and they said that it's apple fault...

For me it's working very good, but I have one problem: Adobe Lightroom it's constantly crashing at startup...
FWIW, I got a Mac Pro 5.1 - 3.33 GHz, 24 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, Sapphire AMD Radeon 7950 - Mac edition, and installed beta 5 clean (via USB installer), and just upgraded to beta 6.
Had to do the firmware upgrade on macOS 10.13.6 first (didn't work from the USB installer).
In the seed-notes this is stated:
"Mac Pro (Late 2013, plus mid 2010 and mid 2012 models with recommended Metal- capable graphics processor, including MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 and Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580)"
It looks any Metal-capable (DirectX 12 compatible?) grfx card probably work... (not sure about clean installations)
A "Mac edition" (i.e. with Mac firmware) card which is Metal capable should work, and they do work running the betas:
• GeForce GTX 680 Mac edition
• AMD Radeon 7950 Mac edition (this is my one)
First change noticed with this new PB — removal and addition of wallpapers LOL
Will have to run more apps and do more tests to see if there’re other changes under the skin. So far, Mojave has been quite stable as a PB.

There is something a little bit strange about gatekeeper in the new mojave beta 6.
I actually have 2 macs with mojave.
Apple have been releasing full installers for all the mojave betas and so I have downloaded all the full installers and made bootable usbs for each one.
So I decided to install them in different ways on each computer.
On one (a 2014 mba) I update the normal way, i.e., via the software update preferences pane (which might not seem normal for recent older systems, but certainly is normal for mojave) - and this just gives the delta update.
On the other (a 2015 mba) I hit it with the full installer every time via bootable usb.
So far before beta 6 there hasn't been any difference in gatekeeper installations - delta vs full install. We could always update gatekeeper manually anyway if we needed to. And gatekeeper updates are relevant to systems going way back to even mountain lion.
But if you updated mojave via the delta for beta 6 then your gatekeeper would not have been updated and you would still be on a version at most 148.
If however you updated via the full installer of mojave beta 6 the gatekeeper would have been updated to version 150.
So there is this very subtle difference in beta 6 - depending on which way you installed it - which not many people know about.
Anyway if you installed it via the delta (which most people would have) and have not had your gatekeeper updated then you can get version 150 here:
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/down...fz8ufchlibq6mx0v064x/GatekeeperConfigData.pkg
Furthermore you can check your gatekeeper version via this command in terminal:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" /private/var/db/gkopaque.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
PS. I have to say that I am very happy that we are now getting full installers for every beta. That is something I have been asking for for years for many mac os betas past. So thanks to apple for finally doing this.
