But if you’re clinging to the final non-subscription version of Adobe Creative Suite, you can’t upgrade to Catalina. I’ve spent the summer using Catalina and most of my key apps-BBEdit, Photoshop CC, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Office 365-work just fine. If you’re using the latest versions of all the apps you use to do your job, this will probably not be an issue. Attempting to launch a 32-bit app will be met with failure. Utilities, games, older professional tools, even Apple system software-the end has come for them all. This means that a huge number of older apps will not run under macOS Catalina. It’s been coming for a long time-Apple announced it at WWDC in 2017 and started warning users in April 2018-but with the release of macOS Catalina, it’s finally reality: macOS is done with 32-bit apps. There are also major new additions to parental controls and device management, a huge upgrade to accessibility, the ability to use an iPad as an additional display and input device, a new machine-learning-driven facelift for Photos, and big upgrades to many other built-in apps. But as for the present? This is an update that users should be wary of installing because of all the changes it brings.īut Catalina isn’t all about breaking things. We are headed into a future with more unified apps and interfaces and an increased security focus. This is a huge update that shows the direction Apple is taking the Mac and all its platforms. macOS Catalina creates incompatibilities, alters workflows, and ends what has been a period of relative stability. The Mac is entering a new era, but for a while things are going to be bumpy. After a few years of fuzzy updates, macOS Catalina is one of those clean breaks.Īmong the reasons are a major redesign to macOS security, the long-promised deprecation of older software, the replacement of a nearly two-decade-old core app, and the introduction of the ability to run software born on iOS on the Mac for the first time. Others are more momentous, when there’s a clean break from what has come before. Sometimes software upgrades just fuzz together, all part of a continuum of changes over time.
