    There's an easy way to install the brand new Catalina beta!

    I tried earlier today with great frustration to allow the System to update Catalina. I kept getting error messages that the Mac could not be updated...to restart and try it again. After several tries...failure. There is a solution! Allow the System to download the beta. Stop it form trying to...

    Trouble updating 2018 13" MBP to Catalina from Mojave

    I'm trying to get the beta for Catalina on my MBP, but whenever I try to get the update, I get the message "An error occurred while running scripts from the package 'InstallESDDmg.pkg'. (An error occurred while installing the selected updates)" I press OK, and hope that everything will run...

    iPhone Using NordVPN (or other IKEv2 VPN)? Try this workaround

    I've encountered cases where using the iOS app does not let me connect to select services, protocols or apps (such as banking, software update check and downloading App Store updates hangs or takes repeated attempt to connect to the profile. I may delete the stock NordVPN app and use this method...

    Duet Display on 2013 MBP (running Catalina)?

    I have an older MBP (Model ID 11,3). It's no slouch even after all these years (2.6 i7, 4 cores, 16Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD) and I love it - best Mac I've ever owned and it's not even close (and I've owned too many to count). As much as my MBP is "no slouch", it apparently is not going to play nicely...

    When to jump on the bandwagon...

    Being disabled, I am itching to try out Catalina and the Voice Control Feature. When would you recommend I try the beta. Now? Wait for Mid-July to early-August? Thanks. Speaking of betas, I saw a thread earlier about someone complaining that some apps were broken in beta 2. LOL. Obviously he...

    Catalina on MacBook Pro 2017 13" TB

    Any brave souls out there testing the public beta on the said device? Looking for some info on experience of it such as.. if it makes the device any slower "snappiness" for quick day to day tasks and other sorts, that requires short bursts of CPU.

    Manually adding songs to iPhone

    Downloaded Catalina today and, so far, mostly good. The one question I have: I always manage my iPhone media library (music and music videos) manually. They're not copied to the Macbook, only on the iPhone (mostly because it's TOO much media – hundreds of Gb, more than my Macbook can...

    Just checking if the full version of the Catalina Dynamic Wallpaper came along with beta 2 today.

    Thoughts on Voice Control from someone who will use it.

    I was watching the keynote but had an appointment I needed to get to. I missed the segment about Catalina. However, I went to their website and looked at the page describing all the new features. I watched the Voice Control video and loved it. Awesome! I think Apple nailed it. The reason I will...

    Running Catalina on Main Machine

    I was wondering how stable it is to run Catalina on a main machine? I have an updated Time Machine (running Mojave) but, it is not in a HFS format (the backup). Can I install Catalina and have all my current files on there (from Mojave) without an issue?

    Catalina on HFS+ - a HOWTO

    I've just had some success getting Catalina on HFS+: Please ignore that I selected the APFS volume of my main boot drive on the tester Mac. I hadn't noticed when taking the screenshot and when I did notice I'd already erased the volume for my next test. Method: From an image of a working...

    MAJOR MELTDOWN - Installed Catalina and can no longer reboot - memory issues

    I sure hope someone has experienced a problem like this and can assists. Earlier this week, I downloaded Catalina on to my new iMac. The os worked ok for a couple of days, but my hard drive was full. I think I downloaded the new XCode and haven't been able to boot the machine since. I've worked...

    iOS So you actually need Catalina (beta) to use SwiftUI, not just Xcode 11 beta

    So I installed the Xcode 11 beta on Mojave. When I came to use it, the one new feature I was interested in was the new SwiftUI language/system, but after mucking around with it for a while I realised it actually needs to be running on Catalina (beta) to be able to see the canvas. The canvas...

    Still no Catalina download for me...

    Is anybody else still seeing "Your Mac is up to date" with Mojave, even with a fully functional Apple Developer Seed Profile? I have been itching to try it but still no luck. Has the rollout been particularly slow, or am I missing something? Thanks.

    Catalina WWDC beta on MBA 2018 - install hangs/freezes

    Hey there, brave Catalina beta testers! I thought I would give Catalina a spin on a 2018 Macbook Air we use for testing stuff: Everything seems to be fine, but then just as the machine is nearly done installing (progress bar around 3/4 complete) it freezes - clue here is that the animation on...

    Virtualise Catalina

    Hello, I'm a registered developer with access to the Catalina beta. I'd really like to test SwiftUI etc, but can't afford to jeopardise my main prod Mac. Is it possible to directly download the beta and install in a VM running on top of macOS Mojave?
