    Manually adding songs to iPhone

    Downloaded Catalina today and, so far, mostly good. The one question I have: I always manage my iPhone media library (music and music videos) manually. They're not copied to the Macbook, only on the iPhone (mostly because it's TOO much media – hundreds of Gb, more than my Macbook can...

    Thoughts on Voice Control from someone who will use it.

    I was watching the keynote but had an appointment I needed to get to. I missed the segment about Catalina. However, I went to their website and looked at the page describing all the new features. I watched the Voice Control video and loved it. Awesome! I think Apple nailed it. The reason I will...

    Using Parallels / VM to run 32 bit apps?

    I use needs to use Adobe Indesign at work and home and its one app the they haven't made a 64bit version of in CS6. I don't want to start a subscription as the programme works fine - is there an alternative using a virtual machine when Catalina comes in?

    Running Catalina on Main Machine

    I was wondering how stable it is to run Catalina on a main machine? I have an updated Time Machine (running Mojave) but, it is not in a HFS format (the backup). Can I install Catalina and have all my current files on there (from Mojave) without an issue?

    Catalina on HFS+ - a HOWTO

    I've just had some success getting Catalina on HFS+: Please ignore that I selected the APFS volume of my main boot drive on the tester Mac. I hadn't noticed when taking the screenshot and when I did notice I'd already erased the volume for my next test. Method: From an image of a working...

    MAJOR MELTDOWN - Installed Catalina and can no longer reboot - memory issues

    I sure hope someone has experienced a problem like this and can assists. Earlier this week, I downloaded Catalina on to my new iMac. The os worked ok for a couple of days, but my hard drive was full. I think I downloaded the new XCode and haven't been able to boot the machine since. I've worked...

    iOS So you actually need Catalina (beta) to use SwiftUI, not just Xcode 11 beta

    So I installed the Xcode 11 beta on Mojave. When I came to use it, the one new feature I was interested in was the new SwiftUI language/system, but after mucking around with it for a while I realised it actually needs to be running on Catalina (beta) to be able to see the canvas. The canvas...

    Still no Catalina download for me...

    Is anybody else still seeing "Your Mac is up to date" with Mojave, even with a fully functional Apple Developer Seed Profile? I have been itching to try it but still no luck. Has the rollout been particularly slow, or am I missing something? Thanks.

    Catalina WWDC beta on MBA 2018 - install hangs/freezes

    Hey there, brave Catalina beta testers! I thought I would give Catalina a spin on a 2018 Macbook Air we use for testing stuff: Everything seems to be fine, but then just as the machine is nearly done installing (progress bar around 3/4 complete) it freezes - clue here is that the animation on...

    Virtualise Catalina

    Hello, I'm a registered developer with access to the Catalina beta. I'd really like to test SwiftUI etc, but can't afford to jeopardise my main prod Mac. Is it possible to directly download the beta and install in a VM running on top of macOS Mojave?

    Copying Catalina System Volume with CCC Beta

    What method have people used to clone a new Catalina volume? Since there are separate system and data volumes it looks like things might be more complex.

    macOS 10.15 Catalina on VM

    Has anyone successfully been able to get Catalina running on a VM? I made a quick attempt to upgrade a Mojave VM running on ESXI 6.7U2 yesterday but it did not appear to work. I have not had time to debug yet but will try again later.

    uTorrent alternatives?

    Hi! I haven't tested Catalina yet but I know that uTorrent hasn't been updated to 64 bit, even though multiple users warned them and they replied with their standard "yeah we wanted to do that a few years ago but there are no speed improvements so why do 64 bit at all". Are there good...

    Upgrading iOS on Catalina

    Hello! I was wondering if anyone has been successful installing iOS 13 on Catalina.... I have the new OS and I also have Xcode 11 but once i select the iPSW file on the new Finder device sidebar, it does nothing and I can't upgrade, it just goes blank. Any clues?
