I'm thinking I might do this because although I'm completely comfortable with
mopjave I don't want to get too far behind and my Mac mini is a little older.

Yes you still can. I would go to Safari, and do a search on something like “
download Mac OS Catalina”. That’s what I did the other day, and I got a direct
link to the App Store. I went crazy for about half an hour trying to find it in
the App Store itself.

can you upgrade to Catalina even after Big Sur has come out? I'm having second
thoughts about going up to Big Sur from Mojave.

Brad is right, that’s exactly what I needed to do for both my Mac mini and
MacBook Air because I was, literally, a day late and a dollar short, as the
saying goes. I went to do the upgrade the first day High Sierra became
available. The way I found the installer was not to go to the App Store,
Oh,I didn't know that. I thought once a new OS became available, the older OS
was removed. Thanks, Brad.

You can still upgrade to Catalina. You need to go to the Mac App Store and
search for macOS Catalina. You should be able to find the most recent OS
installer.
Installers can also be found for the last several versions of the Mack OS by
doing the same thing.

Well, Catalina is no longer an option, so if I do upgrade, it will be to Big
Sur. I've seen the comments re columnn view, and that sounds manageable. But
I'm first going to see if I can just fix this problem. I feel like my tech
universe is melting down around me, due to this, and some braille
A month ago, I would have told you not to upgrade. Right now, there are a
couple of unlabeled buttons in mail between the headers and the mail content.
There is also an issue with arrow keys not working in column view in the
finder. This second issue can be worked around by using the VO key
As I stated in my earlier post, Catalina has been out for a year, and is really
quite stable for the most part.
For anyone not already on Catalina, I would suggest upgrading to Catalina, and
then give it awhile before upgrading to Big Sur. This way you will give the
bug-hunters awhile to
Adding to this thread…I just learned that TurboTax for 2020 is the last year
they will make the program useable on Mojave or older. Tax year 2021 version
requires Catalina or higher to work. So there’s the opposite concern over
changing or not changing.

Farfar, Engineer,
Thank you, Shawn. This is exactly what I wanted to know. I remember that when
Catalina first came out, there were a lot of issues. That was my original
reason for delaying the upgrade. So, if Big Sur is stable, I think I’ll just
skip Catalina altogether.
Cheers,
Donna

Hello all. I'll address Pete's question first. Catalina and up drop support for
32 bit apps. Therefore if you want to upgrade to either Catalina or Big Sur,
I'd see if the apps you're using have a 64-bit version before taking the plunge.
As for the question of whether or not you should upgrade
Big Sur runs on the following Macs:
MacBook: Early 2015 or newer.
MacBook Air: Mid 2013 or newer.
MacBook Pro: Late 2013 or newer.
Mac Mini: Late 2014 or newer.
iMac: Mid 2014 or newer.
iMac Pro.
Mac Pro: Late 2013 or newer.

I'm still on Mojave because of the Overdrive app. I probably should upgrade,
but I keep holding back because I'll have to learn windows if I want to use the
Overdrive app.

Lorie, you and I are in the exact same position, so I’ll be interested in what
others say as well because I, too, am comfortable with I have now. I so far can
do everything I want to, and since I’m retired I’m not in a work situation
where I would depend on it more than I am now.

I’m running Catalina on a 2013 MacBook Air with no problems whatsoever.

what would you reommend for a Mac mini that I got at the very end of 2014? I'm
currently running Mojave and am comfortable with it but I don't want to lag too
far behind unless my hardware has trouble going there.

Hi Donna,
Granted I am not personally facing the issue, but my general advice is to
consider what you cannot do now that you desire doing. or what might be
done with greater ease?
If upgrading will do things better, without breaking things that work,
then moving to something equally stable
Thanks. I do use my Mac for work, but often without braille.

Hi Donna!
I think you should upgrade to Big Sur if you can.
The operating system is pretty stable and there are some braille issues in
safari with Catalina.
But that depends on how much you need your Mac for work.
But it should work right out of the box when its released.

Hi Pete,
Given the Apple event today, I'm probably going to download Catalina this
morning, since it seems likely that it will be disappearing immanently. I'll
keep you posted.

Donna,
I will be very interested in your findings as well if/when you do in fact make
the move. I’m running Mojave, and haven’t upgraded mostly because I was
concerned about the fact that anything higher doesn’t support 32-bit apps, and
I didn’t want to bother figuring out exactly what, if
Thanks, Brad. That's my leaning, but I thought that before I did, I'd see what
others think.

Catalina is extremely stable.
I would recommend that you upgrade to Catalina, and wait a while on Big Sur.
Give it some time and see how it works out. Then maybe upgrade to it.
