It took me some forty minutes, directly from Apple, if memory serves.
#GET MACOS MOJAVE DOWNLOAD#
Once you figure out where and unless you have to download it from a very slow server and, or have a very slow Internet connection and a very slow Mac, you’ll probably need considerably less than one hour to get the new version installed. Now you’ll have to get it from elsewhere. I’d appreciate any comments/suggestions/answers to my question that anyone has, as well as things I need to pay attention to.įor some reason, I’m somewhat apprehensive about this upgrade, primarily because it would be a real hassle to reinstall printers, browsers, antivirus, and other programs.ĭrBonzo, I can tell you just one thing for sure that may be relevant to your situation: I upgraded without any problems from “Sierra” to “Mojave” (skipping “High Sierra”), when “Mojave” was still the latest version of macOS and so being offered in “System Preferences/Software Updates” (with the icon that looks like grey gears). I will, of course, have a backup from Time Machine before I start anything. Am I really looking at an overnight upgrade?Īt the moment those are my main questions.
#GET MACOS MOJAVE UPGRADE#
I think it took about 1.5 hours to upgrade from Sierra to High Sierra and a typical ‘point-update’ takes about an hour.

I’ve read a bit on the Apple support site about upgrading to Mojave and to Catalina, and they suggest starting the upgrade in the evening so that it can run overnight if it needs to!! That seems like a very long time and although the internet connection and electrical power is pretty stable, it’s certainly within the realm of possibility that either or both could fail even if only very briefly. The current major user of this computer is highly reliant on two installed printers and a bunch (maybe 20 to 30?) of programs. I did that when the machine was only a month old and hardly any programs and no printers had been installed. I’m assuming that at least in principle all the current programs and printers will get carried over to the new Mojave installation? The only other major macOS upgrade I’ve ever done was on this computer going from Sierra to High Sierra. But, the icon has been there for at least several months (I’m not the primary user of this computer, all I do is keep it updated), so I’m wondering if I’ll get the latest version of Mojave, or if you will, the latest up-to-date version of it?
#GET MACOS MOJAVE INSTALL#
I’m assuming that clicking on this is an easy way to install Mojave. When I open the Launchpad I see an icon entitled ‘Install macOS Mojave’.
#GET MACOS MOJAVE 32 BIT#
There are some 32 bit programs on this machine that I don’t think Catalina or higher will run, and I’ve also not been terribly impressed with what I’ve heard about Catalina. If you want to see a fun preview of your DIY Dynamic desktop, set the picture to change every 5 seconds in System Preferences, clear your desktop and sit back and enjoy the show.Sometime in the next few weeks – before Big Sur comes out and High Sierra is no longer supported – I’ll be upgrading an iMAC from High Sierra to Mojave. Check the box for Change picture and set it to Every hour. Next, drag your folder to the left-hand column under Folders. With your folder of 24 Mojave images set, open System Preferences, click Desktop & Screen Saver and click the Desktop tab at the top. I just duplicated every other image so that I ended up with a balance of morning, afternoon and evening scenes. This way, you can sync your DIY Dynamic desktop to the closest time interval MacOS offers, which is one hour. Because you can't set your Mac to change its wallpaper every hour and a half, you will need to duplicate half of the images so you end up with 24 files. Mojave changes the image every 90 minutes to cycle through all 16 images every 24 hours.

#GET MACOS MOJAVE ZIP FILE#
To create your own Dynamic desktop, you can download a Zip file of the 16 images that Mojave uses and save them in a folder on your Mac.

Dynamic desktop changes from one image to the next throughout the day. It features 16 images of the same sand dune scene but at different times of the day - going from bright morning to warm afternoon to cool evening, with the shadows and clouds changing and the sky lightening and darkening as you go. MacOS Mojave introduces Dynamic desktop, a desert landscape wallpaper with shifting light.
