And alphabetically, it's 'I' for 'Install.', not 'M' for 'Mojave.'. Initially it looks like it did not download because it's hiding in the Applications folder (not 'Downloads') as 'Install macOS Mojave.app'. This will launch the App Store through some kind of back door, because you cannot simply search for 'Mojave' in the App Store and get anything that looks like an installer for the OS.Īfter you click on the 'Get' button, it will download, and then attempt to run itself but it gives an error of some sort, probably because it won't install itself over a more current OS (Catalina). See, and go down to section 4, and click on Get macOS Mojave. You need to download Mojave from the Apple App Store. Name the new APFS volume something distinctly different from the original so as to reduce the possibility of error later.Īlso see 'Installing macOS on a separate APFS volume'.īefore you do anything, perform a Time Machine backup, if you use one. The other salient feature is that you can install the earlier 'Mojave' OS, which still supports 32-bit apps. Its size automatically adjusts to fit your content.' No need to commit a specific portion of your internal drive. It's a bit different from a partition: '.And because storage space is shared across APFS volumes, you don't need to reserve space for the new volume.

Then I learned about the notion of creating another 'APSF volume' on my internal SSD. Apple had been telling developers about this for 10 years, so it’s deemed to be their fault if their apps stop working on new systems.įender FUSE™ is one of the 32-bit apps, and for sure it ain't being updated. The bad news is that current Macs ship with macOS 10.15.x, 'Catalina', and it does not support 32-bit apps. I recently got a new MacBook Pro and thought 'great, now I can fiddle with the presets on my Mustang amp from my couch, instead of getting up and dragging everything to where my aging Mac mini (2007) is set up at a desk'.

This will be a bit of a Shaggy Dog Story, so get yourself a cup of coffee.
