Fixed the issue with Apple Tech this morning. You will need them as fix involved resetting permissions (not as easy as you think with several devices involved) as well as Terminal and some password acrobatics. But she was a very good Technician and resolved the issue...
Got a tip for us?

Yes. I forcefully shut the computer down and turn it back on. An hour later roughly, it freezes again.
Is there any way to remove the red badge notification from System Preferences if we don't want to upgrade right now? Thanks.
Legacy Software on my machine seems to be more of a log of 32-bit apps I've ran in the past - not necessarily the 32-bit apps currently installed. For me, it is showing a 32-bit app I tried out many months ago, with a "Last Used" date. It was also uninstalled way back then, but it is still showing in the list (even after upgrading to Catalina). I've double checked the app is not at the path it specifies. If this truly should be showing the 32-bit apps installed, is there a way to do a rescan or clear this out?
I know you can still find files that way, but i need the original "Songs" view shrinked down to the files containing the search word including all other song tags.
I doubt it's the OWC memory. I installed an extra 32 GB of OWC memory for a total of 40 and am seeing no excess memory usage on my new iMac.
Until Voice Control works (almost) as well as Dragon, I see no need to update. I mostly use apps that I know will work in Catalina, (Scrivener, Vellum, Affinity Photo, Fade In, should all be fine) but Dragon is the big if. Technically the version I run shouldn't even work in Mojave, so I'm happy that everything does in fact just work. I love that they've created Voice control though. I just need it, and everything else to be stable. This computer is mission critical for my job, so I'll check back in around December.
I don’t think so If it’s not 64 bit. But can’t you use the regular Mac software to use your printer?
It’s actually still there but it is hidden, super annoying.
In your menubar go to View -> Show Filter. Or use the shortcut Shift + CMD + F.
You have to do this every time you'll want to search because it keeps disappearing. I really hope they will change this back to the old situation.
Held my breath and updated: no major problems. Lots of weird half restarts and whatnot but patience and a beer got me through it.
One bit of oddness: it would not let me accept the terms and conditions no matter how many times I tried. And by not accepting the T&C it made it seem like it wasn’t accepting my iCloud password.
The solution: I have two iCloud accounts listed in System Prefs -> Internet Accounts. Went there and accepted the T&C on the second one and I never had to re-enter again.

Thanks man, that will do it for the moment! But they really need to give the option to make it stick there, agreed!
You can contact Canon to see if they will update their drivers and printer utilities before you update. For now you will have to use Apple's default drivers which will limit functionality of your printer, but at least you can use it for basic tasks.
do I really gotta import all my music even tho it’s all in my music folder? I did a fresh install so I have all my music on a usb ( 270 gigs ) in every version of OS as long as it’s in the music folde it just put the music into “iTunes” so I figured it would just put it on the music app
I can but the printer has wireless scanning, duplex printing and scanning feed, laser color printing. It's not just basic printer from Canon. I guess I'll hold off on upgrading for awhile till I can be sure it works with the printer.

Thank you, but I better hold off. I really like the wireless duplex printing and scanning features. Ill wait.
I had no trouble with the install. It was quick and I use email to log in (that works well too). My remote is a 650.

Should have noted that my remote is the cheap 650.
Catalina Screentime "limit adult websites" doesn't appear to work on Chrome. My children need to be running Chrome for school. So I cannot limit access to Chrome. If this is only limited to Safari and not other browsers, it a fairly pointless feature at this point in time.
I’ll do a test tomorrow and report.

Can someone please post a screenshot of the Song info /Options tab in the Music app?

CCC'ing to encrypted disks is now a pain in the ass - your previous bootable AFPS+ Encrypted disks are useless. So, I guess I'll just rely on Time Machine and have CCC backup my User's folder to an encrypted disk (not bootable).
Woke up to my Mac having crashed sometime overnight (set it to run all night for Photos). Been running for 2 days now for my 120+GB Photos library - 80% done.
Tried to share Apple Notes folder only to have it say sorry it couldn't share... and now it is working surprisingly.
Xcode failed to update several times and got stuck in a loop so I just uninstalled it.
I repeat from a previous post - My 4k Samsung monitor works perfectly now with my MBP 13' 2017 (before I had to connect/reconnect the cable several times for the monitor to recognize the connection). Works normally now.
