Hi all, I'm experiencing a few problems with Catalina and would like to confirm if they're happening not just on me, and if possible find solutions to them. The 1st problem: Ever since Beta 2, my Time Machine stopped working. It just stuck on "Preparing backup" forever. I've tried a few...

Ever since updating to the beta, I get this pesky alert. After hitting OK, the alert disappears, only to reappear seconds later. Attached is a snippet of the alert. (Snippet 1) 1. Is anyone else having this issue, or one similar to it? 2. How can I find the file that was allegedly downloaded on...

Anyone else experiencing this issue? I signin with the correct details in the drop down box in the Mac App Store and it just doesn't work so I cannot update or download Apps. Hoping the next PB will be coming soon.

I’m wondering if anybody can provide some insight into getting Catalina working on my early-2009 Mac Pro. My machine has two internal SSD drives. One has Mojave installed, and that works fine. I flashed the firmware to 5,1 some time ago. I have a metal compatible Radeon RX 580 video card. I...

Anyone know the average memory footprint for the new Music, Podcasts, and TV apps? (I say 'average' because there's variability in the footprint over time. Upon first launch, it's always at a low amount, but that changes over time.)

Hi, Since I installed macOS Catalina 10.15 PB on my 2017 iMac 27" the Mac willl experience a kernel panic around twice a day. Unfortunetly I'm not sure how to read the following (still learning), in the past, however, it has usually been a App that has caused this to happen on other Mac's I've...

Catalina on my Mac Pro is on its own SSD. All has been well until today. This morning I received a report from one of my engineers that she had run into trouble after installing Catalina in its own volume. Mojave Sleep ended with crashes and the system was not stable after Catalina was also...

Good night, I installed Catalina Beta on my Macbook Air 11 "2015 and the Wifi hardware disappeared. I've searched in several forums and found nothing. Is it possible to downgrade to Mojave? Can I mount a boot disk through windows to use on Macbook? Can someone help me?

My previous TM backups have disappeared as follows: I installed Catalina Beta 3 over Mojave on 7/14. After discovering that my copy of Photoshop CS5.1 would not run because it needed a legacy version of java, I spent several hours trying to find a workaround for the fact that Catalina would...

When logged in with a Windows Active Directory user, configured as local administrator, I cannot unlock the computer after it is locked manually or if using a password protected screen saver. Lock screen does not show any possibility of entering a password or changing user (as shown). Only way...

This has probably come up here already, however, I just installed the latest 10.15 Public Beta on a 2017 27" iMac. I enabled Voice Control as soon as 10.15 was installed and said "Open Siri" and it triggers SIRI perfectly. So that's really handy. I understand using the keyboard for many might...

Sidecar is great, it works really good and it's one of the things I'm most excited about in Catalina. However, as I mentioned here before, Pencil pressure sensitivity is way off. There is a sort of expected pressure level, how much you need to press your stylus against the screen/tablet to get...

Back in Mavericks the design was a mess (anyone remember game center?). Some apps looked new, while others looked old. Yosemite fixed that in a way. Now with the Catalyst style apps I feel like we are back at the Mavericks problem. Apps look different throughout the system. For example App...

Hi, I have facing crash with using Android Studio Stable version on mac os Catalina public beta 2. When I am trying to type something then Android Studio keep crashing. I have attached crash report below. TIA

I tried earlier today with great frustration to allow the System to update Catalina. I kept getting error messages that the Mac could not be updated...to restart and try it again. After several tries...failure. There is a solution! Allow the System to download the beta. Stop it form trying to...

I'm trying to get the beta for Catalina on my MBP, but whenever I try to get the update, I get the message "An error occurred while running scripts from the package 'InstallESDDmg.pkg'. (An error occurred while installing the selected updates)" I press OK, and hope that everything will run...

I've encountered cases where using the iOS app does not let me connect to select services, protocols or apps (such as banking, software update check and downloading App Store updates hangs or takes repeated attempt to connect to the profile. I may delete the stock NordVPN app and use this method...

I have an older MBP (Model ID 11,3). It's no slouch even after all these years (2.6 i7, 4 cores, 16Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD) and I love it - best Mac I've ever owned and it's not even close (and I've owned too many to count). As much as my MBP is "no slouch", it apparently is not going to play nicely...

Being disabled, I am itching to try out Catalina and the Voice Control Feature. When would you recommend I try the beta. Now? Wait for Mid-July to early-August? Thanks. Speaking of betas, I saw a thread earlier about someone complaining that some apps were broken in beta 2. LOL. Obviously he...

Any brave souls out there testing the public beta on the said device? Looking for some info on experience of it such as.. if it makes the device any slower "snappiness" for quick day to day tasks and other sorts, that requires short bursts of CPU.
