Somewhat disappointed with Apple. All these new software upgrades dont seem to have fully been tested. I have a late 2015 iMac. When I upgrade to Mojave there are flaws. For example, I purchased a new cd drive from the Apple store. 45 mins away. When I got home it wouldnt work. Needed something similar to formatting so the IMac would recognize it. Thinking the drive was defective, I took it back to the store. Brought another one home and had the same results. Back to the Apple store. This time I insisted that another drive be tested in the store. They couldnt get it to work either. Finally had a guy from the Genius Bar come out. He couldnt get it to work. After more than an hour of trying everything he could think of, he brought out an older laptop that was running Sierra. Bingo! That solved the problem. Even called Apple Support on another issue and they werent aware of that problem. Disappointing.
When the computer upgraded to Catalina the flaws continued. My desktop icons and files were gone. My computer settings were gone. Apple support couldnt figure it out and suggested I restore through Time Machine toa date before the Catalina install. That got my desktop back but I have an e-mail program under Outlook for work. (I work out of the house as a consultant for them.) This program doesnt work now. Called the IT guy at work to have him try to fix it. He couldnt and also cant remotely login to my computer like he used to.
Hard to say if anyone else is having issues, but I dont understand why Apple is in such a hurry to get these new upgrades out. They arent being fully tested. Starting to remind me of Microsoft which is one of the reasons I switched to Apple years ago.
Sorry for the rant, but it really bothers me.
