[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1832201, member: 38864"] Alrighty, upgrades are complete here. With Mojave running in a VM under VMWare Fusion, 32-bit apps and games will run, albeit sluggishly at least when it comes to games, but that's to be expected. I couldn't get any of my Wineskin-wrapped Windows apps to run, but it'd make more sense to run those Windows apps in a Windows VM anyway so no loss for anyone but the most extreme Windows haters out there. I had a mixed bag of issues. On my wife's Mac mini, Music somehow failed to import the artwork for much of her music, even though that artwork is embedded in the m4v/mp4 files. On my iMac, I don't appear to be missing any artwork. I don't get why this happened, but it's an easy fix... remove the albums that are missing artwork and re-import. Other issues... I had to reinstall a couple apps even though they were compatible (Private Internet Access and Steermouse). There may be more that I'll find over time that will need reinstalling. Otherwise, it's gone well. There are a LOT more requests to authorize apps to do different things ("app" wants to access your Downloads folder; "app" wants to access your Documents folder; "app" wants to access an external device (my USB drive). These were all necessary and triggered by normal use, but man oh man it was getting annoying. I have to say that I LOVE being able to sync and manage my iDevices via the Finder. I've always hated having to make a special effort to open iTunes just to sync, especially since my iMac is in a room upstairs. No more! A couple things to be aware of. You'll have to plug in your iDevice into the Mac and check the settings to be sure you are set to "Show this iPhone" when on Wi-Fi" and "Automatically sync...".
