MacOS Sequoia

[SteveFitz]

Has anyone updated to Sequoia on the Mac? Has it had any effect on the Pedias? I appreciate that the Pedias are on hiatus, and one programme shouldn't stop me from upgrading, but CDpedia and Bookpedia are very important to me and I don't want them to crash through incompatibility.

I'm currently running Sonoma and the Pedias work fine on that.

Cheers, Steve

I have updated to macOS Sequoia and I am running version 7 beta of Bookpedia, CDpedia and DVDpedia.

While I haven't done some intense editing in these apps, I can confirm they all launched without and errors.

Cheers DanThe.

Good to Know. Thanks DanThe

Thank DanThe.

I’ll upgrade to Sequoia. If there are problems I’ll post any warnings.

If anyone is interested in good news: My pedias are working fantastic with Mojave 10.14.6.
I would upgrade but I live on an island. My downloads are only available with an antenna.
That would take years - or centuries. Who knows.

I'm the guy you can call "Old fashioned"!

Best regards from the past

Has anyone run Bookpedia version 6.2.1 on Sequoia? Because Amazon US lookup is broken on version 7, I still use version 6.2.1, and I am curious if that version runs under Sequoia.

Thanks!

HEADS UP

With the release of macOS 15.0 Sequoia you must do the following to enable sync'ing between macOS and Pocketpedia:

To allow or revoke Pocketpedia app's access to your local network on a Mac, you do the following:

1. Select the Apple menu, then System Settings
2. Click Privacy & Security in the sidebar
3. Click Local Network
4. Turn the ability to access your local network on or off for each app listed

Thanks to mindzeye for this very helpful hint. Bookpedia 7 no longer syncing with Pocketpedia app

So I’m running a non-upgradable 2013 iMac 27” Catalina

AND I’ve

Just ordered a brand new Mac mini M4 running Sequoia so will join the Sequoia pedia club soon

ep Happy Christmas to me as I now have a Mac mini M4 24GB + 1TB storage. Also a 34" Dell P3424WEB monitor. And wow just wow.

Hint - don't use Migration Assistant. 7 hours to migrate approx 800,000 files using Time Machine. Not including Media as that is on a separate Ext 5TB HD. You end up with so much old crap plus in my case Sequoia mail kept throwing up errors and crashing. Spent a couple of hours on phone with Apple and in the end copied over, manually, from within Time Machine, all the Data files, selective Pref files and Application Support files I wanted and then did a total erase and install. Prior to that I had made a list of all the app's I needed, downloaded the latest versions for Sequoia, a couple I had to pay a new license for the upgrade but that is OK.

PS: Mac mini's only have Thunderbolt 4/USB C, NOT USB ports. So had to get a USB to Thunderbolt adapter from Apple as all my external stuff, including Apple keyboard is USB. I plugged an USB 4 port hub into the adapter and all is good. As time goes by I will upgrade to a full Apple Bluetooth keyboard and other such peripherals that use Thunderbolt 4/USB C ports & cables.

As I have never done a total eraser install since 2007, my first Apple Mac, and only done upgrades and Migration Assistant I believe I have gained at least 3 - 4 GB of disk space, maybe more.

Now I am a very happy camper with a lean mean machine.  And yes the latest updated Pedia's all work.
