Apple Seeds Third Beta of macOS 10.14 Mojave to Developers

[smartmiller]

Is there a way to download the installer and create a USB installer from it? I'd quite like to nuke my system and install DP3 from scratch

Works perfekt!!!

 

[MrGimper]

Works perfekt!!!

Thanks... The key is trying to get the installer again when you are already running Mojave DP3. I had to download and run the beta utility and it seems to be downloading the 5GB installer again, so hope I can fine it after and move it somewhere safe

 

[xgman]

Yes. It's very common. There will be major slowdowns, lots of bugs, and plenty of missing or partially implemented features. That's the point of betas.

Oh boy! Sign me up!

Having an odd issue this morning where plugging in a thunderbolt 4K monitor causes the entire system to freeze for a second. After that things seem fine but the monitor itself still isn't working.

Weird, update not showing up for me. Even using terminal. Still on Beta 2

Showed up for me this morning but didn't get around to installing until this afternoon (Mountain time). Now the beta 3 update is not showing up and info says I still have the beta 2 build number.

Is anybody testing Adobe CS6 on this? Because I feel I might skip High Sierra and go straight to this from 10.12

macOS 10.13.5 High Sierra is rock solid stable and there is yet to be a 10.13.6 update. Better to go with high Sierra than risk any possible instabilities with Mojave. You could always upgrade to Mojave when it reaches 10.14.4 and has had time to mature.

Eeeee, no. 10.13.5 (and 10.13.6 beta) still have gnarly wake-from-sleep and crash-while-sleeping bugs on my late-2016 13" TB MBP, not to mention a wide variety of irritating and obvious Mail and Messages bugs.

Here's hoping that Mojave cleans most of this up.

Eeeee, no. 10.3.5 (and 10.3.6 beta) still have gnarly wake-from-sleep and crash-while-sleeping bugs on my late-2016 13" TB MBP, not to mention a wide variety of irritating and obvious Mail and Messages bugs.

Here's hoping that Mojave cleans most of this up.

Gonna stick with 10.12 on this machine, its working fine and gets the job done. When I am due an upgrade to a new machine, I will switch to something like Affinity Photo or Pixelmator.

Where is public beta 2?

Same issue, can't get 10.14b3. I wonder if Apple pulled it down for some reason? Tried unenrolling and reenrolling..no luck. I've got 18A314h which is 10.14b2.

I have tried both in the Sys Pref and through terminal and cannot get DP3 on my 2012 MBA. And the link in the release notes for the App Store, downloads the install file that claims it's 4.9GB but it's only like 500kb. It seems incomplete. I would assume Apple may have pulled the update or their servers are down. Guess I'm stuck on DP2 for now.

I'm not able to get Developer BETA3 to show on my MacBook 12-inch Early-2015. It popped up and installed right away on my MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touchbar but its just not showing at all on my MacBook 12-inch. I have deleted the beta profile, rebooted, installed the beta profile, rebooted but still nothing. It claims its up-to-date no matter what I do.

same problem here

Do more people have issues with the Mail app constantly freezing? I've been having it since beta 2, and it seems to be recurring in beta 3 as well.

I know it's a beta, very well aware of that. But I was hoping that beta 3 would fix it. Not sure if anyone else has been having the same problem? There could be another reason for it after all.

I'm on a MacBook Pro 15" 2017 and have not have had any issues with Mail either on beta2 or beta 3.

I’ve been usung the PB for a week now. I love it except for the bugs it has and that fact that it slowed down my computer which is noticeable(2017 13”MBP)

People are posting bugs and all. But... Why are people not talking about the beta slowing down performance!?

Is this common for betas(never used one before) which gets fixed in official release?

On my MacBook Pro 15" 2017 I perceive a significant improvement with Mojave up to and including beta 3. Overall it's faster overall in terms of loading apps, safari browsing, etc.
[doublepost=1530898874][/doublepost]

By the looks of it, DB3 is still buggy as hell... Pass

It is beta after all. That being said I am running Mojave beta 3 on a MacBook Pro 15" 2017 and am very pleased with its overall stability and speed. Of course everyone's mileage may vary. It is beta after all. Did I say that already?

 

[Noiseboy]

I’d be very interested to hear about anyone’s experience installing this on a fusion drive. Is the EFI still janky?

Nobody, anybody? I too want to know this.

 

[bahndoos]

I’ve run into the same problem as you.

I was able to import Photos directly from iPhone/iPad to the desktop in beta 2, and that seems b0rked now in beta 3. How about you?

 

[RamGuy]

same problem here

I finally got it to trigger by running;

sudo softwareupdate -i -a

In the Terminal a few times over. On the third try the update finally popped up in the Software Update window..

EDIT:

You can also try;

sudo sh -c “softwareupdate -ia && reboot”

This should hopefully also trigger the update, and also set it to auto-reboot when required so you can just walk away and do something else in the meanwhile.

 

[antmarobel]

In dark mode? Still not working here. Tips?

It worked nicely on Beta one, but, strangely, it is not working now...

 

[gburlingame]

10.14b3 appeared for me and I successfully upgraded to it. Must have been a temporary issue on Apple's side. Cheers!

 

[antmarobel]

Apple just released a new version of Mojave for developers...well, at least for me here in Brasília... 18A326h

 

[adrianlondon]

Just got one here in Switzerland. Weird, as it says it's still dev beta 3. Not sure if I can be bothered with it as it's a 2.7GB update from dev beta 3 to dev beta 3!

Same, I just got a notification for Developer Beta 3, when Developer Beta 3 is already installed? Seems a little early for Dev Preview 4...

 

[macintoshmac]

Same with me. Downloading 2.71 GB on my TB MBP13 2016. Will provide build number once done.

The new version is called macOS Mojave 10.14 beta 3 Update 1 and fixes the Feedback Assistant from unexpected crashes. Not that developers would want to use that because they would probably rather use bugreport.apple.com anyway.
