About macOS Upgrades

macOS Monterey (12.0)

macOS Monterey (12.0) was released on October 25, 2021. Monterey is currently available in Casper if you are interested in updating your Mac device to this operating system. More information about Casper can be found here: Casper: Self-Service Software Installation for Macs.

macOS Big Sur (11.0)

macOS Big Sur (10.16) was released in late 2020. CaTS is still in the process of testing standard software used around campus and in computer labs. Please note that Big Sur has some known compatibility issues with certain University services.

macOS Catalina (10.15)

macOS Catalina (10.15) was released on Monday, October 7, 2019. CaTS is still in the process of testing standard software used around campus and in computer labs. Please note that Catalina has some known compatibility issues with certain University services.

macOS Mojave (version 10.14)

macOS Mojave (version 10.14) is the fifteenth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop operating system for Macintosh computers. macOS Mojave (10.14) was released on Monday, September 24, 2018. CaTS has completed testing Mojave with the standard software used around campus and in computer labs.

Compatibility Issues

Please note that Mojave has some known compatibility issues with certain University services.

• Banner 8 Admin is incompatible with Mojave due to issues with Java. Banner 9 Admin is now the recommended software to use for University purposes.
• Older versions of Matlab are not supported on Mojave. Matlab customers need to ensure they are on 2018b release or higher. 
• Mojave will convert your hard drive (SSDs, Fusion Drives, and Hard Disk Drives) to the new Apple File System (APFS).
• Apple TVs generation 3 or earlier may not be compatible with Mojave. If you plan on using your own Apple device in a classroom managed by CaTS, you may experience audio issues. If you have any questions about this, contact the CaTS Help Desk at 937-775-4827 or email helpdesk@wright.edu. These classrooms include:

Getting Started

macOS Mojave (version 10.14)

CaTS is now officially supporting macOS Mojave. If you are interested in upgrading to macOS Mojave, we recommend you first review our Software Compatibility list for known issues. If you currently use Matlab, we recommend you wait until January before upgrading to macOS Mojave.

Before you upgrade to Mojave, make sure your computer and all software are compatible with this version. If you have any questions, contact the CaTS Help Desk at 937-775-4827, or helpdesk@wright.edu. 

System Requirements 

You will need one of the following models in order to run macOS Mojave:

• MacBook (early 2015 or newer)
• MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or newer)
• MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer)
• Mac Mini (Mid 2012 or newer)
• iMac (late 2012 or newer)
• iMac Pro (all models)

Recommended Minimum Hardware:

• 20 GB of free space
• 4 GB minimum memory

How to Upgrade

If you have OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) or an older version, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to at least macOS 10.12 (Sierra). Apple will most likely stop providing software upgrades or critical security updates for OS X 10.11 and older versions soon.
