Nice video fam.... But I hav a question, if I downgrade back to mojave can I upgrade back to catalina in the future or will it harm my mac?? Please I'm running catalina now and all my apps stop working so I'm thinking about downgrading back to mojave
Hi Ranzee, I agree we don't need upgrade yet there is no benefit to do so and the software manufacturers will eventually catch up. I am sticking with Mojave which I only went to about 3 moths ago so no rush.
What is REALLY important is that if you DO take that leap to upgrade to Catalina or do any OS jump up... be absolutely sure you have a FULLY FUNCTIONAL BOOTABLE BACKUP of your system drive (like made with SuperDuper). This will cost you almost nothing but could be your best investment. Then you always can decide to jump back easily in case something does not work after all. In fact you can even have 2 OS systems and just work with both for the heck of it and do a part of your stuff in new shiny Catalina and keep doing all your other work in Mojave. Had to add this to you already great post here, @ranzee (thumb up)
Great stuff Bas - and thanks for adding your expertise. I'm doing a more indepth video soon which will cover some of the technical aspects (like some of the things you mentioned).
I wish I would have seen this and cautioned the auto update on my brand new 2019 Mac Book Pro. I use Xcode and my three projects stopped working immediately after the update to MacOS 10.15. Right before the MacOS update, I was using Xcode 11 and am now on Xcode 11.1. I've tried a lot of the suggestions regarding deleting Derived Data, providing application full access to folders, and confirming that they were 64 bit compatible. Side note: I am able to open all three projects just fine on my older Mac Book Air (MacOS 10.14.6 & Xcode 11)
ranzee UPDATE... It appears that the problem is in how Xcode uses Reference folders. I have been able to confirm that in Xcode 11.1 with MacOS 10.14.6, you can copy an html resource folder and it’s contents with no issues. There are tons of RUclips videos doing this for web apps using Webviews. In MacOS 10.15, I was able to find out that I can work around by copying an empty folder and then copying in the files. There may be an issue with folder naming as well. The old folder was called “projectName.hyperesources”. On my new system, I had to create a new folder minus the “.hyperesources”. I believe this is why the project crashes when opened on the new machine. If I remove the folder on the older machine and then open the project on the new machine, it opens just fine. 🤔🤔🤪🤪
UPDATE... My issues has been resolved with the help of the guys on the Hype software forum... forums.tumult.com/t/xcode-11-1-crashes-after-opening-existing-projects/16930/3
I ran this from the Terminal --> /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -R -f -u /Applications/Hype4.app/ It resets your "launchservices" database.
I gave up photography for this very reason!!, as I’m now thinking of starting again, has anything changed for the better????? I’m still on Mojave, and havnt updated that or lightroom since, Catalina crashed/frozen screen/etc etc…I know about the upgrade to 64-bit and that’s what it was…. (I’m on iMac), shall I update lightroom to the latest version? Will that work on Mojave? Or am I stuck there for Good?? Please help! Many thanks in advance..
I believe all Adobe products are now compatible with the latest Apple operating systems - and the new Silicon (ARM) chipsets. It never hurts to flick Adobe a support message to double check before you do anything major! Best of luck!
If you have a large music library, stay away! When it split my media up between music to the Music app, video to TV app and audiobooks to Books app, the later two were fine but boy did it screw up my music library! Missing album artwork, and syncing with my iphone was hell, causing the Music app on the desktop to create something like 50 ghost/empty playlists!! Thank goodness I kept a perfect Mojave clone of my computer and was able to to go back(after a day of pain wiping and reinstall) to my previous setup. For all the headaches iTunes may have, it at least worked without screwing up my music collection and 10 years of curated playlists and albums!
Thanks for the headsup Michael ... the more of you that let us know the more we can share the issues! The biggest lesson here is for people to keep backups!
DO NOT UPGRADE TO IOS CATALINA!!!!!!!! there is a significant bug in the new OS or Filmic pro app that prevents you from transferring more than one file at a time. This has been frustrating to many of us who have upgraded to Catalina, and we're hopeful that Apple and Filmic pro will issue an update to resolve this bug soon. Please, no finger-pointing... Just fix it!!!
I'm adding my name to the DO NOT UPDATE YET list. It took hours to update and when it did there it locked me out of my Apple ID-I had to reset it-contact Apple and then I got Apps showing up in my list that indicating needing updating that Apple no longer supports or I never used. I can watch only watch Videos in Twitter and RUclips-but video playbacks won't play in my favorite browser OPERA> I've searched things for hours and opened up a help question in Opera Forums and no help. I'm not a programmer-I just want to have things work something I paid a lot of money for. I've contacted Geek Squad and they can't even remote in for assistance since the Catalina Upgrade. I wish I would have read the warnings before I did this.
@@ranzee Thank you-I also forgot to mention-that the Magic Mouse has started acting erratic-I researched this also and others are having similar issues.
It's not that bad. I lost Kronos and M3 Karma editors, Voyager editor and C6. I can live with that. Stephen Kay if you're reading this, thanks for locking Korg into your crap. The Triton arp was fine, more than fine. Hopefully Korg don't have to have your shit on workstations again.
Too many bugs and no support for 32bit software caused a lot of problems with printer/scanner drivers and older software. Do not upgrade until new drivers come out and Apple patches Catalina (the quality of MacOS has gone downhill the last years - that's evident from the 2.5GB regular patches...)
None of my micosoft work at all. When I try to upgrade to microsoft office 365, I go to the App store and it states I have to purchase the damn software? WFT?
I did upgrade to my Apple Mac to Catalina last night and I was working on a project for work. Now I have discovered none of my Microsoft Word documents works..... because I have to purchase the damn thing. But thank you for replying.
What a joke!!! I am really pissed of about this. I'm also really not impressed with the upgrade pricing that Ableton offers! way too high in my opinion.
Ableton 9 wont work - as mentioned in my video. Apparently you can downgrade your Mac. I haven't personally done this, but there's a few websites that offer instructions on how to do it (like this one: www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/downgrade-macos-3581872/). I would caution that anything like this should be backed up prior. Hopefully you also backed up your system prior to updating to Catalina. If you did, you could just simply restore your backup and it will have the previous Mac OS. I'm not responsible for anything that happens for your mac, so take this advice as general in nature and seek the services of an IT professional if you aren't sure/confident on these matters. Good luck!
computers for years, this is the worst OS update i have ever seen. I use my mac laptop for business such as video editing, DJing and for my flight simulator, etc; everything worked flawlessly ...AFTER that stupid update to Catalina ......my computer is extremely slow, it constantly freezes, my iTunes no longer works so therefore i lost my libraries in my dj program, my video editing applications and all its plugins no longer work, my flight simulator constantly crashes.

Sorry to hear Mark. I plan on doing some more videos on this subject - covering areas such as: "So, you've upgraded, and now nothing works - what next?" ...
muzicciannss ? lol ... make sure you check out your version of mac before you upgrade!
Nice video fam....
But I hav a question,

Hi Dj Shawn, I believe you can, but you'll have to Google how to do it - as I've not ever tried. Also backup backup backup :)
@@ranzee ok fam cool I'll try it out
I believe Tim Cook is breaking Mac OS Mojave usb installers
Hi Ranzee, I agree we don't need upgrade yet there is no benefit to do so and the software manufacturers will eventually catch up. I am sticking with Mojave which I only went to about 3 moths ago so no rush.
I'm still on High Sierra :) mainly because I'm worried the 2012 mac mini hardware wont support Mojave ... Yep no rush!

@@ranzee many many thanks for your reply.
Much appreciated.
we need an update video! is it time already to update or should we wait??
Hi DJ ALVARO, if you have software that still runs 32bit land - then I'd say wait. Otherwise go for it :)
@@ranzee yeah thought so, going to give it a try and see what happens :D

My menu bar disappears sometimes too
My me new 2019 Mac Pro tomorrow and I only use Logic Pro X so hopefully I'm ok
Hope it goes well!
yo if ur still here bro Im getting a macbook pro late 2013 model do u know if it runs 32 bit and if i should upgrade to the new OS catalina ?cheers
Apple have this way of making you buy their latest ... my advice is only upgrade if you absolutely have to.

Hi Tony, I can see some weird stuff going on here. I think it might be time for another video showcasing all the reported bugs!
@@ranzee Thank you-I also forgot to mention-that the Magic Mouse has started acting erratic-I researched this also and others are having similar issues.

Yeah, as I said at the end, we need to be realistic that software dev should be at least 64bit now.
@@ranzee All software had years to go 64 bit. Ah well, a few things will have to go.
haven't these company's had years to get their products up to 64 bit?
William agreed - but that doesn't change what users are having to deal with ...
I don’t understand apple killing off 5,1 which is a 64 bit computer. Apple is a weird company.
Too many bugs and no support for 32bit software caused a lot of problems with printer/scanner drivers and older software. Do not upgrade until new drivers come out and Apple patches Catalina (the quality of MacOS has gone downhill the last years - that's evident from the 2.5GB regular patches...)
Yep ... pass the word on :)

Hey Eliza, this is about Apple Mac computers :) If you've got Microsoft issues, jump onto our live stream on Saturdays at 2PM UTC and ask away :)
I did upgrade to my Apple Mac to Catalina last night and I was working on a project for work. Now I have discovered none of my Microsoft Word documents works..... because I have to purchase the damn thing. But thank you for replying.
I can't use Soundflower on Catalina. Please suggest some solution.
You could try a hardware interface with a loopback function
ranzee And how do I do that?
hey, it is compatible with Traktor 3? Because is not with the 2 version... so im thinking update... I have a s8
thanks
Hey Solange, you'll need to ask NI - they haven't posted anything yet that I'm aware of (unlike Novation)
