Hi, I’m going to upgrade my iMac 5k late 2015 from High Sierra. I have done the steps in the video and have the Monterey install ready to go. Just a bit scared to jump 4 steps in one go. Some people online have upgraded in steps something to do with a weird change around Catalina time I think. 🤷🏼♀️ I have done a Time Machine backup. Do you think this will be ok to jump straight to Monterey? (I just upgraded the ram from 8gb to 32 gb so that should help I believe) Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
@@SuAmigoAlex Thank you! The update worked! 👏 (I replied already but it disappeared when I came to edit it so apologies if this doubles up) Only problem now is getting iMovie to work. I need a version that is compatible with Monterey. The latest one in the App Store needs macOS version 13.5. Any help here would be appreciated. Many thanks ☺️
Ok panic over! I put the iMovie app I had in the trash then went back to the App Store and downloaded iMovie again and it asked me if I wanted to download an older version. Why it has to be so cryptic 😂 I don’t know. But all working now! And people reading your video comments should hopefully get some comfort in knowing that I did the update successfully from High Sierra to Monterey on late iMac 2015 27in 5k and got iMovie working 👏 😆 Thank you for your video it really saved me and gave me the confidence to get it done after so long procrastinating through fear! ❤️
Mine is a MacOS High Sierra (2010) desktop and when I tried it I was still unable to download a newer version. Everyone I try is being blocked. DONYOU think there is a difference between the laptops and the desktops?
THANK YOU FOR THIS. issues when downloading once download it gives me this message : This update requires macOS version 10.15.(I Have 27" iMac Late 2013 iMac14,2) telling me I can do Catalina macOS 10.15.x
am i correct in assuming this method does a fresh install and erases all the data ? That's what i want ..Thanks nice vid enjoyed watching ..Greetings from The Netherlands..
@ I have no idea I bought a new Mac-mini M4 and I have bin configuring it and battling with osx hahaha 😂 stuff that didn’t work like being able to modify the volume with my keyboard there was a great app for that I bought and figuring out more but one day I hope to follow this vid and do a clean install

It should be fine my friend. Great that you have a full backup just in case.

Yes, older computers are not compatible with newer operating systems.
THANK YOU FOR THIS. issues when downloading once download it gives me this message : This update requires macOS version 10.15.(I Have 27" iMac Late 2013
iMac14,2) telling me I can do Catalina
macOS 10.15.x
I guess it was my mistake ..was downloading some type of combo or update rather than the actual main software
Why when I open Mac OS Monterey it doesent automatically open the App Store
Use Chrome
thanks man!
what is the download size of Big Sur btw?
you're the best

Are you logged in to the App Store?
same problem. if you have found any solution then please share.
I'm having an issue where it won't let me log into my icloud or make a new one. So I purchased this for a good deal and need for school but I'm stuck at the ickoud not allowing to put a user on or create a new one
Bro i am using MacBook air 13inch 2015 model, i search the website in macos compatibility my mac support the macos monterey but small doubt i am open the app store show firstly in macos sonoma i will install this macos any problem comes in after update the this os.
You cant install Sonoma there, download Monterey!
when ever i click on "about this mac" it shows which macbook it is (MacBook pro) but then it dosent show any model or nothing
Go by the model identifier.
My macbook pro is working very slow nd it takes so long to load things... would it be because of software update?
What year is your MacBook Pro? What macOS are you running now?
@@SuAmigoAlex 2012 High Sierra
Tried to upgrade High Sierra Mac Pro, late 2011 to Mojave ( the only one compatible) and it’s not allowing me. Bummer.
Your Late 2011 MacBook Pro can only go up to High Sierra, did you watch my entire video?
I have a Version 10.13.6 macOS High Sierra(iMac 21,5-inch, Late 2009, What should i upgrade to?
Probably that is the last supported macOS for that computer. Unless you try Open Core Legacy Patcher, which I don't recommend for Macs older that 2012
but with this can you download games and apps like whatsapp
Is there a reason why I can’t even log into my iCloud account?
What macOS are you using?
This saved me from having to spend 1k on a whole other laptop
Great
you're a lifesaver bro! F#ck Apple!
