Hi, after updating, I am unable to use pages which is a shame. Seems the one I was using won't work with Catalonia ! so I am wondering if anyone else has had this same issue and if they managed to resolve it. Also aware the the mac updates now coming to me aernt always received. BTW my mac with the new Catalonia runs slower but does work, its teaching me a whole new way to be Patient !

In what disk will your files go if you download something in the catalina, will it be the previous one or the apfs drive?

[josep]

What you didnt say is that you jave to disable SIP and after the installation you jave to enable back the SIP on a older Imac

i have a macbook pro 2011 (early) i can't update to macos cataline but i used a (patcher) and it worked but when it's finished i face security problems because the system integrity protection (SIP) does not want to activate I used (csrutil enable) and it does not work. please help me because the majority of software requires activation (SIP)

[lilbottron]

I have a question what if you don’t have apfs

[brianmontee]

[zanewashere]

i did this on my mid 2010, but some of the programs crashes. is there a way to fix the crashes?

How do you create the installer app from the already downloaded iso file?

[DialloMoore]

Hi.

I followed all steps and it says that the installation was successful. But after I restarted it, it shows that it’s still on the old operating system.

[dawnhub]

HI, How can I fix this ? SIP is enabled on this system. SIP must be disabled in order for the in-place installation to function correctly. To disable SIP, boot off your system's Recovery partition, or an OS X 10.11 or later installer drive, open Terminal, and run "csrutil disable"

[HardikSoni]

is it necessary to format in APFS ? because when i use that format it says for firmware update then it stop my installation
