This, or the 32-bit apps will simply show up as greyed/crossed-out in the Applications folder after upgrading. I don't know why people insist on making such a big fuss over things they can't or don't want to comprehend. ?♂️
I got it, this is why I have not upgraded yet. I am pretty sure the app will do what you want, I found it useful. Yes it is frustrating.
I fixed the Music library issue by moving manually the 'iTunes Media' folder content into the 'Media" folder inside the new 'Music' folder now all my music plays normally.
I use Scansnap sort of - I have a Fujitsu Scansnap ix500, and all scans go directly to Evernote. Apparently with Catalina, this scanner will no longer work.
I update my MacBook Pro to Catalina, but I am waiting on 2 Mac's (and 2 Scansnap ix500 or whatever they are called) until some solution can be found.
Anyone out there using Evernote and the wonderful Fujitsu Scansnap ix500 scanner?
Aha! There is a Fujitsu ix1500 now. Anyone want to buy 2 ix500 scanners
Edit again - maybe I can get the ix500 scanners to work with Evernote on Catalina after all. I'll try on one machine and see.
Scansnap has new software that updated last week that is compatible with Catalina.
Interesting, mine is like 8-10 years old, the iX500 which is still supported by their new software.
My S1300 is abandoned now. There's an S1300i which is somehow different enough that my non-i is out of luck.
The Podcast app is consuming almost a combined 10 times as much cpu resources compared to the old Itunes with Podcasts.. Apple might want to work on the efficiency with that app. Itunes was ridiculously cpu light, its not really a big issue now either though.. but its annoying cpu levels at almost a combined 40%.
For all the scanner issue peeps: I know this isn’t a solution for everyone, but since I was only scanning receipts and occasional files, I stopped buying scanners and use Scanner Pro, an iPhone app - scans using your phone’s camera. Works very well and the quality is surprisingly good. You can even fax from it.
A couple more that can do this as well: Apple Notes and Microsoft Office Lens.
I took the plunge and it's working great with my 2015 MacBook Air. My only concern was it might render Studio One Pro and my Waves plugins useless, given all warnings issued by developers of many audio related applications. They work 100% no issues at all.
For the rest of the apps (Office suite, AutoCAD) no stability issues so far, no lags, and I actually liked the Music and TV apps. Seems they are listening to what some users complain about.

FYI - I did a fresh install and ticked off all the iCloud stuff off, but they still were enabled when I checked afterwards.
Just downloaded and installed Catalina on my 2017 12" MacıBook and had no problems. So far everything seems to be working as expected and that is a relief! Tomorrow or perhaps later today I'll do the 15" 2018 MBP.....
Sharing screen time across devices on Mac isn't working properly for me. It's not listing my iPhone under devices, for some reason its listing my Apple Watch instead. And when I go to screen time on my iPhone its not listing my MacBook under devices.
How to update your Steam install to 64-bit before macOS Catalina | AppleInsider
Yes, the Steam client itself is 64-bits, and most of your games probably are too, but if you've had an install for a while, your client is probably only 32-bit. Here's how to make sure you've got a Steam client compatible with macOS Catalina.

Nope. 32 bit support will not be coming back. The 4 GB boundary is too limiting for the complex application of today and tomorrow.
Other companies like Nvidia, Google, etc. also dropped support for 32 bit OSes over a year ago.
Apple gave us 3+ years to upgrade to the 64 bit version or find replacement applications.
I beta tested Catalina last night and all can say is don't upgrade to it. The new remake of iTunes is far from better and certain programs I use no longer work even though they are 64bit. For me a non starter.... and now I hear that the new mac pros will have Catalina as their operating OS.
I actually emailed them the other day asking about this and they stated they don't have a fix for it right now. I do know you can purchase a lifetime subscription that is web/app based for like $120 which is what I paid for my level 1-5 Spanish. Right now I won't upgrade because I want to use it and do not have a solution to address this.
