Along with macOS 11.5 being released, security updates have arrived for both macOS Catalina and Mojave.Fixes included are for flaws that could lead to malicious applications gaining root access. 3: Installing the MacOS Catalina Upgrade. Anyone can download MacOS Catalina for free from the Mac App Store, or from the Software Updates section on their compatible Mac. Backup the Mac if you haven’t done so already. Go to the Apple menu and choose “System Preferences”, then go to “Software Update”. When “MacOS Catalina” shows. FYI - after installing the late May 2020 Security Update for 10.14.6, Catalina showed up again in Software Update, and redoing the previous fix makes no difference. In fact, it throws up this message: 'Ignoring software updates is deprecated. The ability to ignore individual updates will be removed in a future release of macOS.'
- I installed Catalina and on the 1st day computer was fine. 2nd day I installed 5 updates from App store. Now my internet is dial up slow, so slow that things will time out before connecting. Also if I go to shut down it always restarts with the message that my computer restarted because there was a problem.
- If you did any mods with the 10.15 Catalina install app that is why it won't create a patcher I re-downloaded the 10.15 beta app and I successfully created a patcher but it says I need a firmware update on my MacBook 5,1. doublepost= /doublepost Yes I used your APFS rom patcher on both my MacBook 5,2 and iMac 9,1 both say needs.
Firmware Update Required Catalina Update
Troubleshooting
I just checked the App Store for updates. As expected, there were updates for several apps in order to add Big Sur support:
- GarageBand
- iMovie
- Keynote
- Numbers
- Pages
- Xcode
I clicked the “Update All” button to be informed “GarageBand can’t be installed on … because macOS version 11 or later is required.”
Seriously? Big Sur just shipped yesterday and Apple has already made a flagship app incompatible with everything else?
Firmware Update Required Catalina Version
And why is it being presented on my list of updates if it’s incompatible? In the past, the App Store would never show incompatible updates.
Firmware Update Required Catalina
This is absolutely shameless self-promotion. If they think this is somehow going to convince people to upgrade their comptuers to a new and untested operating system, they’re completely nuts.
UPDATE: Further investigation (see comments below) indicates that this was a mistake, not an intent to drop support for GarageBand on macOS versions 10.*. But at this time (November 17, 2020), the mistake has not yet been corrected.
