Go get it!

Thanks for the tip, sir...

Nope, as usual with MacOS, I'm going to let everybody else deal with any bugs or problems before I update. (Though I'm planning an iMac purchase later this month, so I guess I'll have it on that one then, anyway.)

November at the earliest for me....

I don't blame you!

Can't be worst than using beta.



C'mon in, the water's fine.

Getting it on my iMac 2019 Retina 4k base model!

Updated MBA 2019, everything is running smooth. now updating 2013.

Waiting patiently for more feedback because lately I'm reluctant to update OS's on my Apple devices. It really shouldn't be like this with Apple products. Apple really needs to do better and get back to the "OLD" Apple trusted updates we're accustom to...IMHO.

[dmoskaluk]

Couldn't agree more - ie My thoughts exactly. It will likely be well into Nov before I tackle the iMac. I saved myself a lot of grief by 'holding' on iOS 7 until early December ( way back when I was young(er)

Apple really added a lot to Catalina compared with older versions - a lot of security changes in particular. This is really a big change, so it shouldn't be too surprising that there are some upgrade pains to come. Again, another reason for me to wait for an update.

I've received two emails from developers whose apps I use: one says to update now, the OS is very secure. The other says to wait, their app has some issues, they are waiting on Apple to fix bugs in some of the APIs, they are trying to find workarounds, but the best thing to do is to wait.

I'm listening to developer number 2 at the moment....

Thanks for the info. I will wait.

Well, it's minor, but..........

Think I'll wait a month or so.  track record for update issues so far this fall hasn't been stellar, and my iMac, albeit old(er) ie 2013 is working well.. Not rocking the boat quite yet.

[Spencerdl]

I'm still debating on whether to update Catalina. Is anyone else still running the older OS version like me?

I'm on the fence and still running Mojave with no issues.

Same here

[dmoskaluk]

Likewise....

[ksassy]

And of course today one of the YouTube channels I follow posted about his personal issues with Catalina. Granted I know this probably isn't everyone's experience but it definitely make me pause and just be patient a bit longer while on Mojave.

When I replaced my 2012 iMac two weeks ago I was kinda hoping that my new one had shipped with Catalina already aboard....not so.
Will continue 'in the hold' & follow the feedback loop

I'm staying on Mojave for now. There is really nothing in Catalina that I absolutely need. The one thing that might have got me is the new Reminders app format, but I really manage all my reminders on my phone anyway.

When I do update I will likely install Mojave in a container on the disk just so I can run the one 32 bit app that I have that won't update - the app to manage my Logitech Harmony remote controls. (I could also do it in a Windows VM, so we'll see which way I go.)

[ksassy]

I'm still sitting on Mojave and waiting for macOS Catalina 10.15.6 which should be the final update for Catalina to decide to if I'm going to finally update or wait for the new macOS this fall. I've been hesitant to update because my brother's MacBook Pro which is similar to mine has been riddled with nothing but problems and he wishes he never upgraded from Mojave. I've been helping him troubleshoot his issues and it's been one thing after another which has left a bad taste in my mouth for Catalina. Guess I'll see what the final update brings.

[dmoskaluk]

OK that pretty much does it - staying with Mojave which meets all my needs. A complication of living in the tropics is that even where a product may be available, reliable support can be more complex. Apple Care / Apple stores are not available. The one 'Apple Authorized Reseller' is where I bought this ( and my old iMac) were the ones who suggested waiting.
Since I have to co-ordinate with many aspects of life 'offshore' ie in Canada which is complex enough with work from home and many restrictions related to the pandemic, reliable access to my desktop, & printer scanner is critical now so I'm very hesitant to shake the tree for a fix to a device which works well.
But thanks for the input and I'll keep an ear open in the fall.

[doogald]

I'm still on Mojave on two systems, High Sierra on another (using the dosdude patch on a 2008 MBP, so I won't go further with that one), and Sierra on a Mac mini. At this point I believe I will wait and see what 10.16 brings in the fall and whether the commonly reported problems (namely, mail loss) are fixed.

[ChefEfraim]

I have NO interest in "upgrading" to Catalina just to lose the ability to use apps that are part of my life.
