Seems everybody wants the new os so badly they’ve effectively (partially) DDOS’ed the Apple Update Servers
No problem. Just to note I was never actually able to download it completely
Will try again to download tomorrow if available and when it’s night in the US.
Then I will perhaps be able to beta test the actual installation
Now it is midnight so bedtime for me. G’day
Night! time for lunch for me
Bon appétit !
Servers must be a little better now, download time is showing as 15min for me.
Downloaded this AM in 20 minutes. However, the installation process on my 2017 iMac took about 1,5 hours. grateful I did it and it feels like a relief to be Catalina free.
I’m installing at present. It says 28min but that’s never correct. This is on a 2019 16” MacBook Pro.
Great. So in the end you are beta testing the install process for me.
Just started the download again
looks like it. I’m on the home stretch. It’s saying 6min left and it’s been running 39 mins
The install is taking longer than I expected. But then I guess it was a 12Gb download.
@MDS. only a few minutes in, and it is noticeably faster than Catalina.
On an unrelated note. Just discovered today that HyperFibre is being rolled out in NZ, and I can get 2g/2g fibre connection, some are getting up to 4gig.
Hope it will be the same here.
Downloaded and now just started the install: says 17 minutes remaining which with Apple basically means 30 mins at least. Will see…
I was getting installation errors most of last evening. But just after 1.00 am this morning, the update started and was completed in just over an an hour - 20 minutes to download and a little over 45 minutes to install. According to Apple, the installation failure was caused by a combination of server load and some glitches on the system. All seems to be fixed now.
None of the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps are showing as needing updating. I still have the old icons. The App Store shows the new version, and the open button, so It wont update them yet ?
Yep already 33 mins passed and says 20 minutes remaining…
I have never had issues downloading or installing apple systems when they are released. This indeed is a huge temptation
Finally made it LOL
I am running a 2015 MacBook pro 15", i think this could be a download for a more modern MacBook I think. Not sure if mine will perform on it as good.
I will check out some reviews first and give it a few months!
Smooth as always. Didn’t work yesterday, guess too many people were downloading it, but it works now. And it sure is faster than Catalina. Wow. MBP 16" here.
