Just when you got settled with Apple\u2019s \u201cFully Baked\u201d macOS X 104.13 &#8216;High Sierra&#8217;, it&#8217;s time to upgrade your OS to Apple&#8217;s latest version 10.14 Mojave. &nbsp;Like most causal Mac users, you\u2019re asking yourself some basic questions.&nbsp; Such as, \u201cWill the new OS run on my hardware?\u201d, \u201cWhat features would compel me to upgrade?\u201d, \u201cWhat is the safest way for me to upgrade?\u201d, and if you have multiple Mac computers in your house or business, \u201cWhat is the best way for me to upgrade multiple machines.\u201d&nbsp; In this month\u2019s technical blog, I will answer these questions for you.&nbsp; So grab some coffee or tea and let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<p>Will Mac OS X 10.14 Mojave run on my Mac?<\/p>\n<p>Direct from Apple the list of Macs that will run OS X 10.14 Mojave<\/p>\n<p>MacBook (Early 2015 or newer)<br \/>\nMacBook Air (Mid 2012 or newer)<br \/>\nMacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer)<br \/>\nMac mini (Late 2012 or newer)<br \/>\niMac (Late 2012 or newer)<br \/>\niMac Pro (2017)<br \/>\nMac Pro (Late 2013, plus mid 2010 and mid 2012 models with recommend Metal-capable GPU)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; If your Mac is listed above it will run OS X 10.14 with no issues, If you have an older Mac, and you REALLY want to try installing OS X 10.14 there are instructions on the web, but this is not supported by Apple and not recommended by me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; So, I am happy with OS X 10.13, why should I bother upgrading?&nbsp; What are some of the compelling features of Mac OS X 10.14 Mojave?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">APFS (Apple File System) Support for fusion and legacy spinning hard disks<br \/>\nNew Dark Mode.Mac OS X 10.14 Mojave now has a dark mode, see the below for comparison.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4355\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4355\" class=\"wp-image-4355 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Light-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Light-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Light-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Light-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Light.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4355\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">macOS 10.14 &#8216;Light Mode&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4354\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4354\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4354\" src=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Dark-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Dark-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Dark-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Dark-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OS-X-10.14-Dark.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4354\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">macOS 10.14 &#8216;Dark Mode&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Finder stacks, News, and new screen shot utility app.<br \/>\nFacetime Group Chat (Chat with up to 31 people).<br \/>\nSafari favicons.<\/p>\n<p>For stability and security, it is always recommended that you use the latest version of your computer operating system.&nbsp; The only compelling reason to not upgrade would be if you have applications that will not run under macOS 10.14.&nbsp; In that scenario I would recommend virtualizing your computer, upgrading then running the previous version of the OS on a virtual machine.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Before You Upgrade \u2013 Be Sure To Backup Your Data<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp; So you have decided to upgrade. &nbsp;What is the safest way to upgrade your Mac? If the upgrade fails &nbsp;will you be able to recover your data? &nbsp;Or if you discover a critical application either does not run under macOS 10.14 you can go back to exactly how your Mac was before the upgrade.&nbsp; The simple answer to this is to make sure you have a current backup of your system volume before you start the upgrade.&nbsp; There are several methods of accomplishing this.&nbsp; We will now take a look at the Apple recommended method using Time Machine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; Apple\u2019s Time Machine is a built in OS composite that backs up your OS, application, and data to external storage, so you can recover your system in the event of hardware failure, OS corruption, or accidental deletion. &nbsp;If you do not currently have a Time Machine solution configured, we will quickly demonstrate how to set one up. For this demonstration I am connecting an external hard drive that is slightly bigger then my demo Mac\u2019s hard drive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; NOTE: These steps will erase all data on the external hard drive, use this only on a new hard drive intended for this purpose, or a hard drive with no important data.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; Once we plug in our brand new 120GB Hard Drive (Pre Mac formatted).&nbsp;If you are not presented with a Dialogue box asking if you would like to use the newly mounted drive as a Time Machine volume.&nbsp; Go to System Preferences &gt; Time machine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4356\" src=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/System-Preferences-Time-Machine.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"668\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/System-Preferences-Time-Machine.jpeg 668w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/System-Preferences-Time-Machine-300x260.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Click on the \u2018Select Backup Disk Icon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4357\" src=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Time-Machine-Select-Disk.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Time-Machine-Select-Disk.jpeg 416w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Time-Machine-Select-Disk-300x224.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Click on the newly mounted Time Machine volume, and click Use Disk<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> NOTE:<\/span> For this demo I am not electing to encrypt the backups.&nbsp; If you have any type of personal data on your hard drive (Addresses and Phone numbers in your contacts.)

stability of the upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; You can use third party imaging or backup tools as well, as Apple no longer supports making disk images within disk utility.&nbsp; Time Machine is the only
