I think in that case switching to Linux or Windows is of course an option. Your opinion of Apple is very negative - which is perfectly legitimate. for me there is no alternative to macOS.īut OK. But that is definitely a matter of personal taste. Whenever I sit at a PC, I only get half as much done in twice the time. Īnd seeing Microsoft as an alternative to macOS is just as incomprehensible to me personally. This means that starting programs alone is twice as fast from a standing start. But the fact is that with the 64-bit architecture you can simply move twice the amount of data around in the same time.
Of course you can put a racing professional in the Fiat and a sloth in the Porsche. Your statement "64 bit is not faster than 32 bit" is like saying "A Porsche is not faster than a Fiat Uno". It took a few updates to get everything back on track, but I didn't have such massive problems - although I had used the system in the print area for prepress and time-critical things were the rule. I've been using Macs for a long time (LC II) and actually only had massive crashes for a year when they switched to OS X. How do you say so beautifully, hope dies last.
The only thing left is to stop buying all Apple products in the foreseeable future, because there are enough other cheap alternatives that are ahead of the Apple brand. It's a shame that Apple just doesn't learn and will not learn in the future. Trials and clean programming have proven this. In addition, a pure 64-bit operating system is no better or even faster than a 32-bit system. I can only hope that Microsoft makes life difficult for Apple with its new operating system, because maybe the ravages in Cupertino will wake up.
It's not the hardware of the older Macs and you shouldn't forget, for a Mac Pro you pay between € 3.500 to € 6.000 so not a stick because I get 3 high-end PCs and Windows 10 is not much worse than Apple's macOS.
Here, too, it shows again what dictatorship Apple is displaying, because why do you exclude somewhat older Macs, it is not the hardware, but simple brain-cracking on the part of the Apple brand.
Just think of the OS 9 which was developed for G3 or G4 but did not run smoothly on PPC machines like the 9600 Mac, because they are only designed for an OS 8.6. The fact that Apple thinks something about it with the introduction of Mojave is new to me.īecause in the more than 40 years of Apple, Apple has never thought of anything new.
In general, you should make a full backup before an upgrade, even with compatible Apple machines, so that you can always switch to the latest secure status. I can recommend you for that Carbon Copy Cloner or superduper!. A complete system backup of the previous operating system and your apps, data, settings and so on saved on it will help you to restore the machine in case of doubt. If you have the necessary technical and English skills to work through the instructions linked above for installing macOS Mojave on unsupported Mac models with the tool offered on the site, make a backup beforehand. Note: Be sure to make a full backup beforehand If you're ready for this quest, you might be interested in this video:
Therefore, you should only approach the topic and install Mojave on old, actually incompatible Macs, if you have a little knowledge of the technology, can understand the individual steps of the patch tool and know how to get back to High Sierra, Sierra if necessary or an earlier system. Graphics errors, performance drops, failing components such as the iSight camera, input devices that can no longer be fully used such as the trackpad in the MacBook and similar problems are known. The hardware could not have enough power or not support the system with the necessary resources. Should Mojave be installed on old, unsupported Macs?Īpple thinks about it if older Mac models are not supported by new operating systems. The individual steps of the instructions are: After all ambiguities regarding the old Mac models, which can be equipped with macOS Mojave via patcher, have been resolved, the installation can begin. The 2007 iMac 7.1 is compatible when the CPU has been replaced. It also shows which devices are not supported - these are models from 20 as well as, of course, those that are even older. The proof (currently provided with a Mojave beta): hobbyist and programmer Collin shows in the video (see below) that Mojave also runs on an old Apple MacBook Pro.
