I 21.5 2011 Os High Sierra 10.13.6 Upgrade Your Devices
Apple recommends to upgrade your devices to the maximum that is supported.If you’re still running Sierra, the release of Catalina is expected to affect you greatly: if Apple sticks to its longstanding policy, that marks the end of security fixes and support for macOS 10.12. The iMacs from that year can be upgraded to macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 at most. I have it running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 currently.
I am unable to do this through the app store, but am inclined to believe it should be more than possible.Installation of High Sierra 10.13 on unsupported Macs I am currently researching installing OS X 10.13 High Sierra on unsupported Macs. I would like to upgrade the operating system to the latest version possible. High Sierra (10.13) Hi there, Im new to the Mac world and recently purchased a 2011 iMac. Now’s the time to decide what you do next.21.5' iMac Mix 2011 12,1 Upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave, Catalina, etc.
Although some users have managed to get Mojave to boot from HFS+, your boot drive should normally be in APFS format, and that again probably isn’t wise for an ageing hard disk or Fusion Drive. If your Mac is still booting from its original internal hard disk or Fusion Drive, then upgrading to High Sierra or Mojave might not be good news anyway, because of APFS.In High Sierra, APFS doesn’t run on Fusion Drives, and shouldn’t be your choice for hard disks either. This varies by model, and if you haven’t checked carefully, it would be wise to do so soon. If your Mac’s more than about seven years old, you’re probably not going to be able to upgrade it to Mojave, but at best will be stuck with High Sierra or earlier.
Apple normally only supplies and supports the current version of Safari on its supported versions of macOS. If your Mac is exposed to the risk of malware, you should seriously consider installing third-party protection, though.One important issue which you also need to consider is whether to continue using your current browser. Pushed security updates to Gatekeeper, XProtect, MRT, etc., continue to arrive and keep macOS protection current. Apart from that, many of the changes associated with Mojave, such as Time Machine using snapshots to determine what to back up, were introduced in later versions of High Sierra, so 10.13.6 isn’t as bad an option as it might seem, judged against earlier releases of 10.13.On balance, if you have a choice of upgrading to High Sierra or Mojave, and can boot off a decent-size SSD, I would opt for Mojave, particularly as it should enjoy two more years of Apple’s support.If you can’t or won’t upgrade, and will be sticking with Sierra, Apple hasn’t abandoned you completely. The newer version of APFS not only supports Fusion Drives, but is significantly better in many respects, and it’s disappointing that Apple hasn’t seen fit to update the version in High Sierra.
And the installation and upgrade procedure in Mojave is no fun at all.So – here I am and I will stay here as long as I can. SmallCubed for instance wants me to buy and install the complete MailSuite now with MailTags, Mail Perspectives, SigPro and Mail Act-On (the latter one is the only bundle I respect as being useful). The UI has been changed from High Sierra on and it is not possible to see the path to the mailbox in the titlebar of a mail-window anymore (Apple decided to ditch this feature and to go for a “clean look” of the titlebar – I mean, who really should care about the location of the mail and the mailbox you are dealing with?) Some very useful PlugIns for Mail (like MailActOn, ReplyWithHeader and UniversalMailer) are not easy to maintain in High Sierra (let alone Mojave) anymore. Later Office versions seem to keep track of every document I work with, they force the system to download a bunch of crap (fonts and stationery I will never use) in the background (unless you set some folders in the Containers directory to “locked”) and the font management with these Office Versions is also a nightmare.The main reason I am staying with Sierra is Apple Mail. I can live very well without these services. This also lets me run Office 2001 with its blazing fast startup time and without the direct wires connected to Microsoft servers.
Sierra runs circles around High Sierra, Mojave and (so far) Catalina. Apple is forcing anyone to upgrade macOS for every new CPU generation.You should see with your own eyes the *real potential* of Sierra on Coffee Lake (which Apple does *not allow* Sierra to run with)! All you have to do for this is selecting a genuine (so called “Vanilla Installation”) of a macOS Sierra bootable drive in the BIOS of an ITX board with a Z370 or Z390 chipset. I am used to do my onwn versioning method of files and never lost orientation in the file system.Hardware? Lately I have found out how easy (and “dirt cheap”) it is to run Sierra on ITX motherboards with Z370 and Z390 chipsets and it is surprising to see Sierra fly along with a 6-core-CPU – easily outperforming other Macs which force me to install Mojave as a minimum requirement and also force me to deal with a T2 chip.Jerry, I probably haven’t made clear enough the behaviour of Apple. I am feeling not unconfortable to run a dedicated application for that and I also like the “Save As …” method. I can also live very good without the new view settings in the Finder and I don’t need the possibility to change some documents directly in the Finder.
Can you imagine the fun with Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave on upcoming CPU generations? Along with all the compatibility? I can. Comet Lake is lurking around the corner and I doubt that any future Mac with a Comet Lake CPU will allow you to install Mojave on that anymore. You want Coffee Lake? Go ahead and forget about Sierra – as long as you prefer a genuine Mac. Apple wants you to work with Sierra and Kaby Lake as the top CPU for that macOS.
Not just alone for the fun of it.
