macOS Catalina Hands-On: What's New?

Apple this week unveiled macOS Catalina, the newest version of the macOS software designed to run on Macs. macOS Catalina is launching this fall, but it is available now in a beta capacity for developers.

In our latest video, we went hands-on with macOS Catalina to explore all of the new features that are coming to the Mac later this year.

Apple: divides iTunes into separate apps
MacRumors: maybe we should combine these apps idk

I still have my Late 2013 Macbook Pro and I upgraded it to the Catilina beta yesterday. All going great so far! Hopefully one day I will upgrade to the 2019 Macbook Pro with a Core i9 and a Vega 20 graphics card as I'll be developing games for Mac.

when am I gonna get my Logic Pro update though… ?

[goodnightkiwi]

Apple did a great job working on the new functionality and apps to macOS Catalina. The only problem for me is... I want the new apps now! It's so hard to wait!

Did they bring back the cover flow scrolling in finder?

[Brandon-qrzz]

I did not know sidecar was that useful!

[PTYC]

I like your voice. Don't worry about that one voice down somewhere.

Anyway I'm hoping catalyst would mean i could get my robot vacuum app or Panasonic image app or iOS version of Netflix onto the mac. The one with smart downloads.

Sidecar looks like team viewer or something to pick up and work on the couch thing. Especially cool for iMac people.

Is the background for Catalina still a dynamic screen like the background in Mojave?

[ungrateful-]

Installing Catalina now and can’t wait to try Sidecar as they’ve had these third party apps which didn’t work well forever.

What about the move from bash to zsh as the default login shell in Catalina?

Now what Apple needs to do is fix their keyboard.

I would love to upgrade to all these new Apple OS features but for the fact that it will break my mac and applications that haven't, and will probably not be ported to the 64bit OS.

[romyromeo]

can you moving and make itunes to your ipad ? and restore iphone via ipad ?...😎😎

[mrratchet]

Hesitant to upgrade because of the loss of a large amount of 32 bit applications - including games. The move to 64 bit is necessary but presents a difficult choice.

[bucwolf]

If apple made media transfer easyer... it would be the perfect os

[parrotheaddanny]

Dan, old school question: I used ITunes on my windows laptop to upload CDs to my IPod and IPhone. With the elimination of iTunes, is this no longer possible?

[mdjunaidkalam]

Anyone has any idea where is ambient noise reduction option on macOS Catalina?

1:12 Hey look it duolingo to the right side

"Personally, I think we could probably just combine Apple Music and Podcasts into one app…"

NO. That's how it starts! They behave differently and come from different sources. Songs shouldn't hold their position as you switch to different songs. Albums don't get new tracks. Keeping track for whether you've listened to a song doesn't make sense. They're different.

I am so mad i heard they got rid of dashboard on the new update upsetting :/
