The only two things of note were:ġ) Catalina could not locate my Photos folder, despite my directing it to it. Next morning, I was greeted with the Catalina login page, and ran through the post installation checklist for settings. In my case, I decided to let it run overnight. I verified that day’s bootable backup from Carbon Copy Cloner, looked at Crash Plan’s online backup, my working files on Drop Box, and Time Machine and proceeded with the Catalina download and installation onto my 2017 Touch Bar MBP. To Dirty Harry’s fundamental question, I answered yes, I was feeling lucky. My concern was less about 64-bit app compatibility, as all of my core productivity apps were compliant, than it was about rumours of bugginess with the system.įollowing John and Dave’s excellent discussion on MGG, however, and a few other reads, I decided to pull the trigger.

Given all of the portent hosted by a number of sources, including here on TMO, I had decided to heed Bob Levitus’ advice not to upgrade unless one simply needed to, but wait for at least the next update. If you have any interesting notes on your own Catalina install, let me know. In any case, it looks like it may be wise to wait until 10.15.1, already in beta, in a few weeks. Or perhaps the new security methods in Catalina are causing unexpected issues for edge cases.
Perhaps the beta testing process isn’t working the way it should. Final WordsĬonsidering how Apple opens new versions of macOS for beta testing for months before release, it seems odd that things aren’t going more smoothly with Catalina.

That website also cites “Apple Mail bugs wiping out messages (a very big problem with IMAP sync affecting other devices and lack of local storage)…” as well as issues with “large iTunes library conversion.” Check this discussion before you update a mission critical Mac. Macintouch has a wealth of information about Catalina install issues. Also, the method you used to use to choose different iTunes music libraries no longer seems to work (or works differently in a way I don’t know.) But, the install went great! Other Known Issues As soon as you plug in your iPad, it starts syncing and even if you un-check auto-sync when you plug the device in, it still goes off and does something (but with no feedback, you’re never sure what it does.) It screws up checkboxes on which ebooks you want to sync, etc.

The Music app (which used to be iTunes) came up, showed me my whole library, but all albums didn’t have artwork…a little bottom left portion of the Music app showed “Loading Artwork”, and it did very slowly, and while it was doing it, its memory footprint grew and grew and grew (as verified with Activity Monitor), and then Music quit on its own, and the Mac presented a dialog asking me what other apps I wanted to quit since I ran out of application memory (of course, since it quit Music on its own, quitting anything else wouldn’t help.)Īnyway, found lots of little annoyances, forgetting of preferences, no feedback on syncing with an iPad (you used to see “syncing photos, 1 of 3000, syncing contacts, etc” but none of that. And, THAT’s when my problems started happening! … my install (on a pretty much brand new iMac) went amazingly smoothly, no scary dialogs, nothing went wrong, and after about an hour and a quarter of never touching the machine, I was running Catalina. What is really strange is that the bogus messages that still appear in the Inbox on the iPhone/iPad will move to the Trash folder on the device when I delete them from the Inbox.
After I move or delete messages on the Mac (Mojave) or devices, frequently those same messages still appear on the devices or Mac, even hours later. I wonder if this could explain the problem I’ve been seeing with iCloud email (IMAP) since doing the iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 updates. Referring to a Tidbits article on Mail issues. He subsequently recovered with a bit of fussing and got Catalina installed. This time it briefly said “31 minutes remaining” and then went back to the “Estimating time remaining…” with no time and the same 1/6 progress. We finally cycled the power on her Mac and the same install progress bar appeared. But that was before Apple moved the OS update back to System Prefs.Īfter over 5 hours, her iMac never got past 1/6 on the progress bar and just said “Estimating time remaining…” with no time. We have used the process many times in the past for previous OS updates. I gave a copy of the install application to. I quit the install when the application launched. This morning I downloaded the Catalina installer.
