MacOS Mojave - App Compatibility

[NJRonbo]

I hear permanently

Dead serious. No. Install MalwareBytes and run it occasion. I only run it about 2-3 times per year. Never had an issue with malware or virus.

Adware.Zap did find some unwanted adware in my Macbook! So I would not be so sure that adware removal is not a problem in Macs although Thanks God! truly dangerous things have not happened to me until now.
However an antivirus helps if you also run Bootcamp Windows in your machine or pass files to Windows users...

sorry if already mentioned but are there any good ad blockers that work well with new safari?

 

[thadoggfather]

does Istat menu work

 

[Feenician]

I am considering doing the stupid thing of moving my work machine to the beta since I’m a) as mentioned, stupid and b) like what I’m reading but I absolutely cannot without one application that doesn’t seem to have been mentioned. Does anyone have anything to report, positive or negative for CA PAM client?

 

[NJRonbo]

does Istat menu work

Yup!

 

[rob.shaw]

has to be disabled to install/enable totalfinder? or disabled 'permanently' for it to run?

Disabled permanently - tried enabling again and got error report from TotalFinder saying I needed to disable SIP

Adguard

i installed bartender a couple years ago, needed to disable SIP to install it, and forgot to re-enable SIP... for weeks. and nothing bad happened.

no one knows you have SIP disabled, and, if totalfinder is worth it, seems reasonable...

I can't run Adobe InDesign CC 2018 on my MBP 15 2017. It activates the 'spindump' process and the system becomes unusable. Has the new beta solved this problem?

 

[NJRonbo]

Adguard

Let me second that. Adguard is the best.....by far!

Adguard is 1.5.8 and shows a shield on status bar right?

just wanna make sure I installed the right thing and not some clickbait crap but it seems to block ads!

haven't had a system wide blocker, always used in app safari extensions, for chrome, etc.

thanks

 

[NJRonbo]

Yes. 1.5.8 is the latest. Shows a shield with checkmark in the status bar

Do you guys use it for non-Mojave macOS too? I guess its got an advantage being system wide huh?

maybe eventually ill throw it on my Sierra build too

I use it for HS, Mojave as well as on my phone. Works great.

Does Mamp Pro work on the latest beta ? Or still freezes ?

 

[BookEmDanno]

does Istat menu work

Yes, I have iStat Menus v6.11 working fine.

Little Snitch 4.1.2 (not compatible with Mojave)

You should try the nightly build of 4.1.3 (or any recent nightly build). That works.

Thnaks a lot. This list is really useful.

anyone try Microsoft Lync 2011? I'm running Lync 14.4.3 and wonder if this is going to work in Mojave

 

[Lancer]

Looks like the main software I'll need to update will be MS Office, still running the 2011 version. Looks like I need the 2016 version but we need it for 3 Macs and I don't want to pay 3 times, are there a 3 license version like I got with this 2011 copy? I've looked and can't find any.

Not any more, I was in the same boat last year. Your only choice for multiple Macs is an Office 365 subscription.

That sucks, I prefer to buy my software outright and no have to subscribe every year.
