That makes much more sense.The betas have a time limitation, but I don't think the official releases do.

Ended up downgrading. Catalina Finder is too buggy and impedes workflow. This is the worst software Apple has ever released and they should be ashamed they delivered an unusuable product for so many people.
yeah, & if you try to save it again, it will say the file is already there.Anyone else having problems with finder refreshing? I saved a Word document into a PDF today. I navigate to where I saved it and it doesn’t show up. I change the folder to Desktop and then navigate back to the original folder and now it shows up. I had this problem with a few Photoshop files I saved as well. Is there a fix for this?
yeah, if i try to search for something on my external hd, it will show files in my hdAny others having Spotlight and Mail search issues in 10.15.1? I'm not seeing much about it on these forums. If anyone else has had those issues, does 10.15.2 beta 1 fix it?
i keep getting "iPad timed out" ... i sent a Feedback maybe 2 months ago, & got a reply from Apple saying it "may" be fixed... & they said make sure your devices meet the requirementsHave just installed 10.15.2 Beta (19C32e) and seem to have lost the ability to Sidecar to my iPad, using either AirPlay or System Preferences. I get the error message "Unable to Connect to “iPad” A miscellaneous error occurred (32002)."
Anyone else?

What was the problem you were having?While searching for a fix for a minor annoyance, I stumbled upon the tip to re-download and simply re-install Catalina over the existing installation. It fixed the problem I was having, and it's definitely running better now!

If you are finding yourself with system crashes trying to go from the first beta to the second beta use the instructions below as a work around.
Assuming you already downloaded the installer, via Preferences:
If you are finding yourself with constant fileproviderd crashes and an unresponsive Finder, disable iCloud in your settings and re-enable it.
- Plug in a blank drive of at least 8 GB, and note down the volume name of the storage media
- Open your terminal and run the command "sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/<name of volume>" and follow the instructions on the terminal and wait for it to finish. The volume will be wiped.
- Reboot your Mac into your external disk which is in effect a recovery mode of the newest beta.
- Wait for the disk evaluation to finish, which can take up to 15 minutes. You may need to log your account in.
- If you are using File Vault, go to disk utility and mount both partitions of your macOS drive and exit the utility. This is important, and failure to do this could wipe your partitions.
- Click the install option and proceed through the process as normal. If you are using File Vault you may need to periodically unlock the disk for the updater to continue.
Do you have an estimation about when the final macOS 10.15.2 will be released? Someone said that we’ll probably have iOS 13.3 by the next week, and I think maybe this Catalina version, which has been in beta since early November, could be released next week as well? What do you think?
I ask because I have to perform a clean installation, and I’m not sure if I should install 10.15.1 now or wait a few days to install version 10.15.2
Thank you.
But I don’t see the same behavior for other apps in my dock.The first is not a bug. It tells you there is a window open called "Podcast" and it's the first window in the app. It's the standard dock behaviour.
I am "kind of" facing the same question, as the last of my critical apps, TechTool Pro, now has a Catalina-compatible version, released earlier today. I have already downloaded it on both of my Macs, both running the latest version pf Mohave, V10.14.6.Do you have an estimation about when the final macOS 10.15.2 will be released?

You are way off, as the 4th beta version of oS 10.15.2 was released yesterday:Probably 3-6 months before it’s ready.

I am willing to get OS 10.15.2 will be released within a week.
Easy. OS 10.15.1 is actually quite stable, at least for me (and via my testing). I'll bet OS 10.15.2 will be fine. But like ANY software release, it will not correct EACH AND EVERY BUG.You missed my point... they can release it at any time, but that doesn't mean that it's "ready for prime time". For some gawd-awful reason, Apple is bent on releasing software "on schedule" rather than when it's fully baked.
Prove me wrong on this.

Prove me wrong about OS 10.15.1.
Yeah, I'm good. But I haven't "completely" moved to Catalina yet. I could now, given that my last critical application, TechTool Pro, came out with a Catalina-compatible version earlier today, but such a move to 10.15.1 now makes no sense. OS 10.15.2 will be released shortly, so I can wait.Honestly happy that you are happy, but I still have a few issues.
I suspect the same is true for Windows releases. But I assume it is not possible to catch each and every short coming when a new version of the OS is developed. And for most of the subsequent releases (in most cases), it is correcting issues that are not affecting a lot of folks. As I have mentioned, my (limited) testing of OS 10.15.1 with my apps has been very, very stable. Of course, I am not putting the OS through each and every "stress" test either.Why does it take 3 months and multiple releases EVERY YEAR to get a stable release? I still have a few problems on the one system that I upgraded... so I am not upgrading the rest... I need to get work done and can be bothered beta testing the production release of macOS for Apple.
