Here's When You Can Download macOS Monterey Today [Update: It's Out!]

[california_kid]

I am literally in Monterey CA at this moment and can't get Monterey OS for my M1 MacBook Air. WTF???

Apple should really use the timezones to their advantage and roll out from the east to west.

Downloading 11.6.1 thru Setting > Software update, by the way I didn't see MacOS Monterey available in UK yet.

WTF, my macbook was nearly done with 11.6.1 then Monterey 12 pops up... was 10 seconds away from rebooting.

 

[jasonhicks]

Now it's offering me Big Sur 11.6.1 instead of Monterey..?

How can I rest until I am updated to Monterey like all the others in here?

 

[Kyousuke]

Monterey just popped up on my iMac. Talk about a waste of time trying to install 11.6.1.

Why are people on a Monterey thread downloading Big Sur? Time Warp?

Nah. We used a tardis

Weird how all of us waiting for Monterey to pop up rendered our expensive MacBooks into 3lb paperweights.

Is this normal?

I can see it now. Late 2015 iMac.

Some of us can multitask ?

btw does this mark end-of-support for mojave?

IDK, but me and my mid-2012 MBP are staying with Mojave, I have 32bit apps I'm not willing to dump just yet; and, the best I can do (without finagling) is Catalina.

LOL, Mojave is my new Snow Leopard....

Hope you recover from this.

Ok so RC2 was the final beta and what everyone else gets? No changes and no updates for us beta users? I deleted my profile and went to update and nothing.

According to Mr. Macintosh's mailing list, the build number of the official release version is 21A559, which also happens to be the build number of RC2. So, I guess we're set. (I deleted my profile too, but there was no update for me either.)

I have the option to download Monterey but not going to just yet. Big Sur is working fine for me on the m1 MBP. Don't really see any benefits of upgrading just yet.

 

[Gungum]

I, here in India have received both the 11.6.1 as well as the Monterey update.

Yeah, same. I want some features such as live text and low power mode though, however an app I use doesn't seem to work that well with macOS Monterey.

11.6.1 has disappeared for me now

Never saw 11.6.1 download on my M1 MacMini. But, my Late 2015 27” got the 11.6.1 earlier today. Then I tried for an update. At first is said k was up to date. Second try Monterey downloading now. I’m guessing this will be the last major OS update for the 2015 iMac.

 

[Kyousuke]

Installation complete on iMac and Macbook air. Time to rejoice

Hahha...same here.

I just stopped the installation of 11.6.1 and hopped over to macOS Monterey upgrade and now I am on Monterey! So far, seems pretty smooth.

All my iDevices are also updated
