Apple released macOS Catalina and has confirmed that it has some serious issues for media creatives and others
. They simply will not run under the new system, this version of macOS is a 64-bit only world. If you are a Mac user that is reliant on a 32-bit app, then you have just a single dialog on installation that warns of the loss of support. Without looking, would you know which of your apps are 32-bit and which are 64-bit? If they are mission critical in your role? Is a 64-bit alternative is available?
Although you can step back from Catalina to the previous version of macOS , that is a destructive process that requires you to erase your hard drive and have a back-up from before the upgrade to Catalina. Again, it’s something that is possible at a technical level but not communicated clearly during the upgrade process.Apple cannot test every application available for a platform as open as macOS , but it should surely be able to test its own applications and have the confidence that they work.
While companies break backwards compatibility with old software all the time, it is not usually with software that was current just a few weeks ago. Moreover, the fact that users face data loss just because they haven't upgraded to a bug-filled iOS 13 or what still remains the current version of macOS, is absurd.Getty. But that plan is a goal for the future. Apple needs to remember that their hardware needs to work in the real world today.
