![]() ![]() If you spent $10,000 on a futuristic iMac Pro, why live in the ancient software past? You can’t run old PPC apps any more, haven’t been able to for years – and how people complained! – and this is just more of the same. The replacement apps I found are themselves getting security updates. Perhaps you shoud be unhappy with the developers of the ancient apps you’re still using that haven’t given any attention to their software for years? I found two apps on my Mac that stopped working – and macOS had been warning me for ages that their end was nigh – and I was delighted to get rid of them and replace them with apps that are still actively being developed and turned out to be way better than the tired old stuff I’d stuck with out of indolence. What remains a distinguishing feature of Apple’s base is its higher expectations. ![]() In terms of problems, Windows and macOS look very similar these days. It’s also the case that operating systems have become more complex since Windows Vista days, both in terms of the services and devices they must support and of the security features necessary to defend them. In truth, mutterings about Apple’s desktop operating systems has been growing for a while, fuelled by the suspicion in some quarters that in the post-iPhone era the company has lost interest in its older, less profitable business lines.

Users can check their app status before starting the upgrade by clicking the Apple symbol in the menu bar, clicking About This Mac > System Report, scrolling to the software list and checking Legacy Software.Īny apps listed here won’t be compatible with Catalina so users need to download 64-bit equivalents where those are available. Ironically, this is by design and Apple has been posting compatibility warnings to users when they run these apps since at least macOS High Sierra in 2017. Most annoying of all has been the issue of getting older but valued 32-bit applications to work, with a reported 235 affected in total. #Mac os 10.15 BluetoothThese include problems establishing network connections, connecting to Bluetooth accessories, accepting iCloud terms and conditions, and in some cases even installing at all when disk space is low. Not so for the smaller and committed Apple base, a vocal minority of whom were quick to express dissatisfaction at the move to Catalina from macOS 10.14 Mojave.Ĭomparing it to Windows Vista from 2006 sounds like an exaggeration (such were its memory-hogging tendencies that just getting that running at all could be a challenge) but there’s no doubt some Mac users have had unexpected issues with Catalina. In the Windows world, the idea of upgrade problems would be laughed off as something that comes with the territory. Is Apple’s macOS 10.15 Catalina really experiencing a Windows Vista moment? ![]()
