catalina

Hello. I have an issue with installing Catalina on my 13” 2013 MacBook Pro. Two years ago, I upgraded the hard drive to a 1gb SSD (OWC Aura). When I installed other OS upgrades since then, I never had a problem. However, today, I received this error: MacOS cold not be installed on your...

Ok, System told me the upgrade was ready. I went ahead. It got to the Estimating time remaining stage. And is just sitting there. A tap on the power button starts that bit again, telling me 9 minutes remaining 25 minutes remaining Estimating time remaining. nothing for hours now. Is there a...

So, I thought that Catalina was supposed to bring AirPlay 2 support to MacOS. Yet, when I look at audio outputs from my iMac, I only see one of my paired HomePods. Am I missing something obvious?

OK so for SO long we have all been excited about folder haring natively on our Macs. After upgrading to Catalina today (Oct 7, 2019) I have found myself very disappointed that I do not have the functionality that those YouTube videos show me. Namely, I do NOT have the option at all on my...

Hi Just update my iMac to Catalina and in system preference ask me sign in Apple ID. I did sign in then ask me iMac password and I enter it and it keep having red badge of number one asking me sign Apple ID. It keeps coming back. How I get it stop coming back?

I can't stand it, and just like with the last time they updated itunes, I need to find out how to be able to use the search function as it previously functioned. In this latest version you put in a word to search, and it shows results in a separate almost picture-like results screen. I have...

Hi, I still use Quicktime 7 Pro to quickly snip out parts of videos into stand-alone video files (see workflow below). Does anyone know if the Quicktime Player that comes with Catalina can mark in an out with I and O keys (this is the most significant feature missing from the Trim function of...

Dear all, after skipping Mojave due to some problems on my macpro that other people experienced: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/video-artifacts-on-right-side-of-the-monitor-if-10-14-1-or-10-14-2-are-installed.2160309 and...

I have a 2010 MBP with Mac OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) updated as far as it will as I cannot install 10.14 on this old of a Macbook Pro. I have it backed up to Time Machine. I am going to be buying a refurbished 2018 or 2019 MBP which I'm assuming will come with the latest OS (Mojave or...

I've used Astropad Pro for a while with a 2014 27" iMac. Its performance has been fine, but I think the $12/month subscription is a bit of a price gouge. I was excited about Sidecar and recently updated to iPad OS 13 and Catalina beta to realize my iMac is not supported. I've found the work...

So, I was stuck at beta 3 for a long time and no problem with text document so far. And this problem happened when I updated to Beta 8 last night. I can't open any text files (.txt .docx) and shows popup "The document could not be opened" I thought it was Office problem, but excel and ppt...

Hello, I am currently looking for information, if Beta 8 is stable enough to daytime jobs? I want to test it before launch. Do you have any stability problems with Catalina Beta 8 ?

VNC Viewers can connect they are just limited to view only access on the login screen. If a user is already logged in the Viewers work mostly as normal. I followed the steps in this article but Real Vnc Viewer only had view access...

Does anyone have a problem like this?

I have a late 2015 27 inch iMac (which I love) and iPhone XS Max, but I always struggle keeping an iPad because I can't seem to find its place in my ecosystem.... With the Sidecar feature coming in Catalina, I think I can justify an iPad to not only be my portable, big screen device when needed...

Trying to connect with AFP from Catalina (19A536g) to a server running Mojave is not possible. Any ideas? I am using Cmd K to open the connection, entering afp://[server-ip] – than insert name and PW – this results in spinning wheel forever. - Login and PW both double checked - they work on...

Has anyone else been experiencing fast battery drain on their Macbooks from the Beta 6? Mine dies quite quick. I've gone from 100% to 30% in a span of 1.5 hours

Hi folks, I tried googling and searching this forum, but could not find any solution to this. Am I mistaken, or is the ability to remote control the new Music App, previously iTunes, with your Apple Watch? Both devices are on the latest betas and yet the remote app on the watch can't seem to...

I currently have Catalina Public Beta running. I went to boot up and the startup is frozen. I tried restarting in recovery mode and immediately get the firmware lock screen. What can I do to get my MacBook back?
