I’ve been using a kind of ‘dark mode’ for years, simply by setting up the ‘negative’ mode in accessibility you can flip your screen from white to black. It works well for full screen word processing and in a totally dark room I can put my screen brightness and keyboard on ‘1’ and save a ton of battery power.
I agree with the contention to wait until bugs have been sorted. Couple: Keynote no longer recognises sound embedded in a PowerPoint presentation (was recognised in earlier OS's), and to wake up the computer now takes nearly 15 seconds (compared to 2 in earlier versions).
THE MOST IMPORTANT WAS CLEANING VAR FILE ....I am so happy ,,,when i downloaded Mojave I had only 32 GB space but after i installed it it turn to 129 GB
does anyone have any idea how I can stop an upgrade from happening? I downloaded the el capitan to upgrade to mojave but I changed my mind. Please someone help!
In dark mode, I have a flickering pixel bug at the top of my open full size windows. Restarting doesn't work. If I move the windows down, around, or switch tabs, or try to take screenshots, the flickering stops temporarily but comes back shortly thereafter. Anyone else?
Konstantius Straat I was excited for it too but soon turned it off. I wasn’t expecting to dislike it at all but I really don’t like it. It’s too chunky and 3D looking imo
Yeah, i didnt find it appealing too. Looks cheap. Especially the noticeable black border line lol. Should have made it the same color at least with the window frame or make it less noticeable
I realized it will not Record the sound it only records the picture on the IOS it record sound and picture if you know how to change that I would love to know
I have installed OSX mojave on one of my computers - black theme needs a lot of polishing. Things look odd and unfamiliar in it. If you switch back to normal mode you no linger have the option to use the dark menu bar and dock, which sucks. So far there were a few glitches when I couldn't enter my password to change settings that needed a restart. Some software may need a new version to work in Mojave. It may be a big pain for those who use their computer for work. I am NOT updating my work station to Mojave until version 10.4.3 or later.
I installed Mojave on my 2018 MacBook Pro. The entire process was flawless. It is functioning well. BUT, it was not smooth sailing on my 3 year old Mac Pro. The installation worked fine. However, once it was done, the machine lost some functionality. Safari will not launch. System Preferences will not open, so I can make no adjustments to the machine. News crashes upon launch. So, while the machine is not fully bricked, it is partially disabled. I may have to attempt a clean install on the Mac Pro.
Great video!! thank you for posting it. But I have one problem .. Insert photo doesn't work for me, even though I'm using the same iCloud, same account and same Wifi.. So please if you can tell me how to fix it .. i'll be appreciated.
Looks like it is slow in opening apps and loading app data. I just compared with my windows Pc, apps are opening faster than mac. I don't have Mac , i just observed it in this video.
is bit defender trustworthy? I have been using it for nearly 2 years. But recent articles suggest that mac anti-malware apps are breaching privacy. Any thoughts?
If it's in the App Store it should be fine although, they were able to bypass Apple security there. However I don't use any of that software as I really don't have a need for it
I've been trying to install Mojave with HFS+ but I've not been able to as yet. Any ideas how one would go about this? "--converttoapfs NO" doesn't work like it used to with High Sierra.
Makes sense but I can't convert to APFS because then the SSD isn't detectable as a startup disk -- the ol' flashing question mark folder thing. I am running High Sierra on HFS+ right now because of this.
I know that. I have a Macbook Pro 15 2017 but for whatever reason I hadn't been able to upgrade to High Sierra for months after its release because every time I tried, the OS would fail to recognise my SSD as a valid startup disk (posted my question here: bit.ly/2IfC5Zd). So what I ended up doing was to install High Sierra with HFS by using the "--converttoapfs NO command" through the terminal. Now the same command doesn't work with Mojave. Hence why I was asking.
You cannot export things like your meeting times and calendars and all of that directly from Outlook. You can just set up your email though and all the rest will import
Thanks , but I am thinking is the installed apps going be erased ? As I remember when they release High Sierra there was a warring to backup, not like now. Is that right ?
zollotech same problem on my iPhone.. never had it on my X. Lots of Apple services are unavailable here in Montenegro, however all apps for them (Apple Music, TV...) are still installed, just show not available. But News app is strangely missing both from my phone and my App Store.
The update didn’t go smoothly for me, my late 17 27 inch iMac, it hung on the iCloud account screen, for 25 minutes I had nothing to click on. I thought what about a cold shutdown? It’s worth a try! So I turned off the power strip waiting for another minute I turned it back on saying “Hold on to your butt” the iMac 🖥 booted up normally, update complete, everything turned out fine.
I've been using Mojave on my MacBook Air 13" Early 2015 since beta 4 and it runs OK. I love it but I might switch to a new MacBook in the next year or two. Any suggestions?
whats new? breaks wifi, appallingly slow ... after hours of frustration discovered that a config file in /etc/ needed to be deleted/renamed to restore functionality at least for me
Am so very happy you have uploaded this don’t understand why Everything Apple pro doesn’t upload a video to do with the Mac Because He only shows iOS updates now
great upgrade, things like this windows had about a decades ago. Pity on apple. Seriously do we really call it an upgrade, ??? shit like this can be done through a normal patch update. Apple becoming a troll these days.
Yeah! dark Mode. So superficial. When they are going to improve the size of the fonts for Task bars and menus. In your video full screen I can not read the top bar menu ( In My Mac, I can do do that either with any of the MAc OS including the "Dark Mode" Mojave. By the way I do use a 65 inch 4k....5 feet far. One question? When they are going to make MAC Os easy to use for people with vision issues. Yes, why not "Improve" the size or menu fonts and drop down menus as a part of the OS. .... or it is too much to ask
You can download it in the App Store. Here is the link. geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?mt=12&app=apps
Does it slow down older 2015 Macbooks? I'm afraid to update 😒
No, and if you wanted to you could always go back. It’s not like iOS
Thanks, as a rule of thumb I will try it out 1 month later as bugs might showing on general release.
While I normally would agree with you, this is by far the most stable release I’ve seen in a long time. It’s sort of like going from iOS 11 to iOS 12

clear concise, wwell edited, hats off to ur editing zollotech
Thank you

Many thanks for a very clear and very good video again 😃
Thnx for making screen bigger,its nice to watch,easy on eyes.
Nice to know I am not missing anything of real value to my workflow.
Lol
Nice explained Zollotech, your explanation is very clear, it helped me to check out new features in macOS Mojave. Thank's.
Thanks just update my 2017 MacBook Pro 💻 love the dark theme
Excellent summary of all the really useful new features.
does anyone have any idea how I can stop an upgrade from happening? I downloaded the el capitan to upgrade to mojave but I changed my mind. Please someone help!
Updating to Mojave freed up about 20GB of storage for me, a nice surprise.
What is really needed is a sleep/wake key on the keyboard
There’s a sleep combo, CMD + OPTIONS/ALT + Eject (or F12 I think).
If you also press CTRL, you can get it to shut the whole computer down too.
nice and straight forward video, thanks
I have an amazing leak off performance on my MacBook Pro 2016. someone an idea how to fix it? Or will it been fixed with an update...?
Great tutorial for me Aaron, thanks. I updated then watched this for some 'quick' tips. Just what I needed. :D
I hated the Mail App in dark mode.. also, there’s a very thin light gray border on every window, and i find it a bit annoying in Safari...
Filipe Sá yeah. I think it’s gonna take some more updates to make it perfect. Xcode is working fine for me though.
i think youre a bitch
In dark mode, I have a flickering pixel bug at the top of my open full size windows. Restarting doesn't work. If I move the windows down, around, or switch tabs, or try to take screenshots, the flickering stops temporarily but comes back shortly thereafter. Anyone else?
is it just me, or is the dark mode quit ugly? It is on my mac now for 30 minutes, and the dark mode looks terrible... Not what i was hoping for
Konstantius Straat I was excited for it too but soon turned it off. I wasn’t expecting to dislike it at all but I really don’t like it. It’s too chunky and 3D looking imo
Yeah, i didnt find it appealing too. Looks cheap. Especially the noticeable black border line lol. Should have made it the same color at least with the window frame or make it less noticeable
just you fam
Is there a way to do it for Mac Pro 2011? Still have the El Capitan OS
Should I take backups before updating?
It’s not a bad idea
Always
Great review! ahron, Thanks.
I have a Question if possible Could I updated my iphone 6s with the new software ... Mac pro ... Like update or restore
Yes
I realized it will not Record the sound it only records the picture on the IOS it record sound and picture if you know how to change that I would love to know
My Mac isn’t supported unfortunately...Wish they would’ve at least supported 2011 Macs and later.
Install windows 10
TheTechPerson download mountain lion first then you should be able to download! I had to do the same.
Amy Eagle On a mid 2011 iMac?
Amy Eagle I download Mountain Lion first then I can upgrade straight to Mojave on my mid 2011 iMac? Thanks
Using macOS Mojave Patcher - dosdude1 works perfectly on Macbook Pro Early 2011 SSD 256

Thx so much Aaron exactly what I wanted to ask you amazing review
can you screen record SOUND also?
The update it’s not appearing on my 2017 MacBook Air. Im on High Sierra Version 10.13.6.
geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?mt=12&app=apps
zollotech Thanks!
How was the performance on MBA 2017? I’m still at Sierra lol
Wow. I will definitely update
thank you very much
Clean install Mojave on 2016 MBP FPDL2D/A = Finder hangs & System runs out of memory error... How does this pass quality control?
thank you so much what a great video as always
thanks for the video! love it ❤️
How do you have the color of the dock something other than white or black? It seems like yours is tan and I want to change mine.
You can't change it. It's just the wallpaper in the background
Im on a mid 2012 13” pro. 8gb of ram. Is this update worth it?
do you think it will run better than High Sierra on a Macbook Pro Early 2015?
Yes. To me it’s like iOS 11 vs iOS 12

David Fraser Yes! Clean installation is the only solution.
Did u have problems with the airdrop after update ?
how’s performance vs. High Sierra?
The same or better
It's slower on my MacBook Air 13" Early 2015 than High Sierra. Might switch to a 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar in the next year or two.
Hmm. I've just put it on my 2013 Air so I hope it doesn't run much slower! lol
zollotech what about boot on a 5400 rpm hdd iMac 2017 4K 3ghz
i already installed mojave on my late 2012 macbook and i can't take photo and iPhone x and MacBook connect on same wifi. please help
I had same problem. Make sure bluetooth is switched on both devices. Toggle Handoff on/off if it doesn't work straight away. Works for me now.
Anyone know the cutoff year for supported iMacs? I have a 2011 I hope still gets this update.
Mid 2012
Thanks.
The oldest Mac supported is the Mac Pro 2010 granted if you have a Metal-capable GPU.
Great video!! thank you for posting it. But I have one problem .. Insert photo doesn't work for me, even though I'm using the same iCloud, same account and same Wifi.. So please if you can tell me how to fix it .. i'll be appreciated.
Never mind... I forgot about the bluetooth lol. it did work. 😁
Looks like it is slow in opening apps and loading app data. I just compared with my windows Pc, apps are opening faster than mac. I don't have Mac , i just observed it in this video.
The dark mode on a specced out iMac Pro is a true life goal. For us. The Mortals.
does the mouse cursor have motion blur on or something?
Hey Aaron, is it recommended to do a fresh install of Mojave or I can just update as usual? Thanks!
What did you do?
Thank you Apple for finally bringing stocks to iPad and Mac!
All depends what stock broker u using , I use TD ameritrade web , think or swim, have the app on my iPhone.
Sorry to bother you with same question.i was in beta.so should i just remove the beta profile?
Here is the video I just released: ruclips.net/video/tIWHwTI4ea0/видео.html
Just installed and had to view your video on it WOW
Will this slow down my MacBook Pro 2015?
No
is bit defender trustworthy? I have been using it for nearly 2 years. But recent articles suggest that mac anti-malware apps are breaching privacy. Any thoughts?
If it's in the App Store it should be fine although, they were able to bypass Apple security there. However I don't use any of that software as I really don't have a need for it
Will this run on a 2012 Retina macbook pro?
I think it will, its mid 2012 Macs and everything after
Still not available on my 15'' MacBook Pro 2018. Im on 10.13.6.
Search for it in the App Store and you will see it
I've been trying to install Mojave with HFS+ but I've not been able to as yet. Any ideas how one would go about this? "--converttoapfs NO" doesn't work like it used to with High Sierra.
They use apfs. HFS is no more.
Makes sense but I can't convert to APFS because then the SSD isn't detectable as a startup disk -- the ol' flashing question mark folder thing. I am running High Sierra on HFS+ right now because of this.
That doesn’t make any sense. All Macs can run APFS that support Mojave
I know that. I have a Macbook Pro 15 2017 but for whatever reason I hadn't been able to upgrade to High Sierra for months after its release because every time I tried, the OS would fail to recognise my SSD as a valid startup disk (posted my question here: bit.ly/2IfC5Zd). So what I ended up doing was to install High Sierra with HFS by using the "--converttoapfs NO command" through the terminal.
Now the same command doesn't work with Mojave. Hence why I was asking.
When will this reach the uk?
It came out the same day everywhere across the world
Should it be installed on macbook air 13” 2015 ?? Plz reply man. !!
Sure
Thanks buddy !
A nice video !
What was the size of update for ur system ?
6GB
Hi, do you know how I can export my data from Microsoft outlook to mail?
You cannot export things like your meeting times and calendars and all of that directly from Outlook. You can just set up your email though and all the rest will import
i think continuity camera works only with iOS 12, right?
yes
If we have installed the Beta that came in few days back, that’s the final version right Aaron? We won’t be getting it again now right?
I was wondering about that too. Never found a straight answer so I looked it up in the App store and downloaded it anyways.
Do you have to have location services on for that dynamic wallpaper?
No, it’s based on the clock
What screen recording software are you using there?
Looks like Screenflow
Should we backup before installing this one ?
It’s a good idea if you don’t have your u go saved on iCloud or elsewhere.
Thanks , but I am thinking is the installed apps going be erased ?
As I remember when they release High Sierra there was a warring to backup, not like now. Is that right ?
No. They don’t erase
Ok, it’s installed now. No data has lost at all.
Update isn’t available to me ! Why??
What computer u on
Anyone else completely missing the News app? Can't find it in Apps, Spotlight, App Store...
I wonder if it’s not available in some countries? What country are you in?
It was installed for me, I am in the UK. (MacBook Air 2013)
zollotech same problem on my iPhone.. never had it on my X. Lots of Apple services are unavailable here in Montenegro, however all apps for them (Apple Music, TV...) are still installed, just show not available. But News app is strangely missing both from my phone and my App Store.

So I turned off the power strip waiting for another minute I turned it back on saying “Hold on to your butt” the iMac 🖥 booted up normally, update complete, everything turned out fine.
Australian English? Lol. Is that like "I reckon mate, g'day"
Yeah that’s the question I have I have the beta is there a final version we have to update too?
Macbook pro from 2015 and don't have the news app, weird
2018 MacBook pro 15 still says no updates..
Give it a few minutes
Thanks!
Just search movaje on app store. It didn’t show me that any updates were available either.
Thanks this worked!
How has battery life and performance been on your Mac running Mojave?
Fine. No need to worry about battery and performance has been great
Is iTunes also in dark mode? The white background is blinding at night.
Yes
We need shortcuts app for mac!
I've been using Mojave on my MacBook Air 13" Early 2015 since beta 4 and it runs OK. I love it but I might switch to a new MacBook in the next year or two. Any suggestions?
Sure, but I would wait until October to see what they release
I might not upgrade yet. I'm only 17 and I don't have a lot of money.
whats new? breaks wifi, appallingly slow ... after hours of frustration discovered that a config file in /etc/ needed to be deleted/renamed to restore functionality at least for me
although OS updates breaking functionality is actually not that common ... in the distant past an OS update bricked a MacBook Air
I thought they were moving updates over to system preferences?
Dennis W They did.
They did under System preferences there is a new software update icon. In order to get Mojave you have to search it in the app store and download it
Now I just need a nice new MacMini
We’ll get it in iOS 13. That has to be the redesign iOS for sure.
Man, I missed cover flow!
Thanks for the info for the update . Your videos are very useful . Can you please make a video on using of Siri shortcut on iphonex ?
anyone with the MacBook Pro Mid 2012, performance and battery?
Battery will take many days to know how it is for sure. However, performance it’s the same or better
Mine mid 2010, stuck on 10.13.6 :(
I absolutely love Dark-Mode-- it is great.
When is Mojave coming to the phone?
Umm....
zollotech gottcha ;) just wanted an answer, awesome channel!!
Is it stable?
Yes. It has been for a month.
great video
When do the new emojis come out? 🤨
Am so very happy you have uploaded this don’t understand why Everything Apple pro doesn’t upload a video to do with the Mac Because He only shows iOS updates now
Well I’m glad he doesn’t. 😏
zollotech haha that’s what makes you better!! 😄😄
MacOS Mojave looks so good!! 👍
is iOS 12.0.1 showing available for download, I can’t find it 😒 and great video Aaron ❤️
does it compatible with Macbook air?
Mid 2012 and later macs
zollotech but I dont see any update in my app store
Search for Mojave
zollotech thanks found it... U are the best 👌🏼
Ain’t got NVIDIA Web Driver yet so cant update my hackintosh
mojave consume more RAM than high sierra, but I feel no different. maybe RAM management getting better ?
You can’t really tell how much ram it consumes as a UNIX-based operating system’s will use as much RAM as it has available
I see. Thanks zollotech, always be my favorite !
Your video has convinced me to stay with pc. Too much enphasis in wall papers on screen. Ill be removing the contents of my apple.com bag
When coming to iOS 😟 I’m impatiently waiting for that
Don’t expect it this year
Ok 😞
great upgrade, things like this windows had about a decades ago. Pity on apple. Seriously do we really call it an upgrade, ??? shit like this can be done through a normal patch update. Apple becoming a troll these days.
Yeah! dark Mode. So superficial.
When they are going to improve the size of the fonts for Task bars and menus. In your video full screen I can not read the top bar menu ( In My Mac, I can do do that either with any of the MAc OS including the "Dark Mode" Mojave.
By the way I do use a 65 inch 4k....5 feet far.
One question? When they are going to make MAC Os easy to use for people with vision issues.
Yes, why not "Improve" the size or menu fonts and drop down menus as a part of the OS.
.... or it is too much to ask
macos majave is a great update!
What to do if your keys on a 2012 macpro are no longer functioning ?
News app isn't available in India
Too bad I have 2010 MacBook Air :(
Oh 6 years ago .but greate
