Firmware Update Required Catalina

Firmware update required catalina update

I just checked the App Store for updates. As expected, there were updates for several apps in order to add Big Sur support:

  • GarageBand
  • iMovie
  • Keynote
  • Numbers
  • Pages
  • Xcode

Once booted back up into macOS Catalina, in order to enable GPU acceleration we need to swap the “Updates on” EFI folder with the “Updates off” folder in the hidden EFI partition. Keep in mind that this will obviously turn off updates because unfortunately, you can not have updates turned on and GPU acceleration enabled at the same time.

I clicked the “Update All” button to be informed “GarageBand can’t be installed on … because macOS version 11 or later is required.”

Seriously? Big Sur just shipped yesterday and Apple has already made a flagship app incompatible with everything else?

And why is it being presented on my list of updates if it’s incompatible? In the past, the App Store would never show incompatible updates.

  • Catalina Express Fall Boat Schedule became available for Reservations in early July. Return boats to Long Beach Mondays after both festival weekends, sold out immediately. Cat Express then added on Monday Mornings Oct. 25th, return boats to Long Beach at 7:50 am, 10:15 am & 2:15 pm.

This is absolutely shameless self-promotion. If they think this is somehow going to convince people to upgrade their comptuers to a new and untested operating system, they’re completely nuts.

UPDATE: Further investigation (see comments below) indicates that this was a mistake, not an intent to drop support for GarageBand on macOS versions 10.*. But at this time (November 17, 2020), the mistake has not yet been corrected.
