[QUOTE="Toroidal, post: 1922752, member: 415933"] I feel your pain, TanBrae, the last update I did I was not very happy with at the time as it was rather early in the release of Catalina and I suddenly had lots of little connectivity things that no longer existed until developers got them updated. But, eventually it all got up to speed and this older machine won't be updated to anything newer. I also did not do my homework and didn't realize Catalina uses the new Apple disk format so that creates problems when other OSes can't even see the data on that partition. It sounds like you HAD to upgrade. I keep two partitions for MUST HAVE software that runs on an older OS, and I boot into that and just deal with not having internet or cloud services. Catalina is my connectivity OS while my no nonsense older OS for certain programs remains intact and ready when necessary. If you have enough disk space and don't have two boot partitions, you may want to consider it for this kind of scenario if it comes to that later on. [/QUOTE]
