The obvious rule is: The more often you have to post the very same question the more likely you hit the wrong thread!
The newest version of the 2021-003 beta gives you 19H1210. for me again, the smb filesharing works between Mac and pc and pc to Mac. I don't have two Macs in my house to check if it works between two Macs to answer a question you asked. The screen sharing was to much hassle for me for something I don't need, so I gave that up for now.
I had to drag the CatalinaOTAswufix.app to the desktop from the download folder to make it work correctlyThanks for that detailed explanation!
Got that working and updated succesfully to 19H15!
Now I am failing with the next steps to receive the latest stable updates. I don't want to try the beta releases, just the security updates for Catalina.
What I did so far:
What am I doing wrong?
- Downloaded CatalinaOTAswufix.app
- Did the "software Update fix" and successfully got offered the beta updates (macos Big Sur beta 11.4 and when clicking on "Another update is available" I see the Beta 2021-003 Update
- Clicked on Download and Install on the 2021-003 Update, then after >3% download clicked on "OTA update fix"
- I get an error message: "WARNING: You need to run first the Sotware Update fix to allow Beta Updates. if you already done it, then the Catalina OTA dist is not yet ready or downloaded"
- Get that message even after the whole update is downloaded. And by the way, I can't install it. And I know that I do not want to install it.
How to opt out of the beta updates and only receive the official updates??
Thanks in advance!!!
I would also add: "If you don´t have time to search it, I don´t have tiome for answer"
I should note that using OpenCore makes things a lot easier.
Hm, in what ways?
So, it's not known whether the Sharing features broken in 19H1208 are fixed in 19H1210? With 6 Macs remote Sharing is essential.

Download the OCLP and let it generate a config - it detects the hardware in use automatically. If you plan to try older macOS versions like Mojave and Catalina which are both unsupported on your system try to set moderate spoofing instead of the default. I have to use this when using Catalina or Mojave. Since my iMac got in contrary to your MacBook a metal GPU you will not have graphics acceleration with Catalina/Mojave until this inclusion of the older patches from the @dosdude1 patchers are complete (currently only Big Sur is supported with OCLP).
To my knowledge currently no graphics acceleration patches for Mojave and Catalina are included into OCLP. So your can uses OpenCore or OCLP only on unsupported systems modded with a metal GPU (MacPro and some iMacs) with Mojave and Catalina and Big Sur or your have to use it with Big Sur, only (as the support describes on the OCLP download page).
You need just to read the OCLP docs. This is the very first time we have a real good documentation. Please honor this fact by reading it. It simply does not scale if three people read and know it and thousands ask the very same question again and again. Additionally you are moving „off support“ with your Catalina experiment and you need to know how to work through this on your own.
Here is the link and read it will solve your problem.
I seems that we just confuse the official upcoming name of the security update (2021-003) with the different beta builds created by Apple on a daily bases. These (daily) new builds and tested on special test compute farms automatically, but only a few make it to the public - using this new label or name.
Is File Sharing between Macs and Screen Sharing fixed in this release? Completely broken in previous. Weary of the H15 shuffle. 🧐
