OT: Mac OS Mojave
Anyone with older model iMacs have any issues upgrading to Mojave? The listed system requirements say we're good to go but I figured I would ask and see what other forum members may have experienced who have gone through with the install?
Thumbs up?  Thumbs down?  William

My sister asked a similar question, and this was my brother’s reply:
In theory, yes. There are usually improved security features with significant OS upgrades. However … Some Macs are going to be left behind. My iMac is a late 2009 model, and Mojave simply won’t run on it. So my desktop is EOL as far as the OS is concerned. Keep in mind, too, that Mojave is the last OS which will let you run 32-bit applications. Iirc, I’m pretty sure they’re projecting that the next major upgrade after Mojave will be the first to require 64-bit versions of everything. So if you have any key programs that are 32-bit, Mojave will be the last upgrade for you (and in general, you should make sure that all your key programs will work with Mojave).* * To find out which of your programs is 64-bit, under the Apple menu, choose “About this Mac”, then choose “System Report”, then scroll down to the “Software” submenu and choose “Applications”.

I just installed Mohave, and since have learned that Quicken 2007 could be problematic. And I see that the newest version of Quicken for the mac is going to be on some sort of annual subscription model. I guess Intuit got tire of me using their program for 11 years. But it works fine for me, and I know the new version will contain all kinds of "features" I don't want.

Just updated myself on my 2017 Macbook Air. Dark mode looks really nice. The only issue I had was freeing up enough space to download and install it. ~6gb download and you need another 6gb free to install. I was able to go into Apple->about the mac->storage->manage-- then delete 23gb of iPhone backups. Yikes.

I have a 2007 7.1 iMac, I've replaced the HD twice since owning it (original owner) and am unable to go beyond OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. It pretty much handles all my need but the next time my HD starts to fail I'll look to buy a refurbished Mac that will run the latest OS.

late 2012 27" imac user here at home.
No issues with Mojave. Love the dynamic default desktop background. dark mode not my thing. need to update the memory in it though I think to make it run a little smoother in some things.

.,...I have upgraded on three of my machines and older 32-bit software is glitchy. For example. I am still running Office 2011 (simply can't upgrade to newer versions since they dropped sequential numbering of comment bubbles) and I get the floating beach ball quite a bit, on all three machines. If you are not running 32-bit software then u should be fine.

I just went through the system report per happycampyer's advice to see what was still 32 bit. Only a couple of possible concerns but I could care less about most of them. I will probably make the leap tonight. See you on the other side!  William

You are all lucky.
If you happen to be on the latest 2018 MacBook Pro (like I am with my work laptop), chances are that a) your upgrade fails or b) you have major issues afterwards. https://discussions.apple.com/thread...t=390&tstart=0 First major glitch since I switched to the bright sides many many years ago. Even upgrading to Mojave on my not supported 2008 MacPro at home is still possible, even though it takes a little extra effort.
