When Apple releases main updates to its working methods, we right here at Macworld often advise individuals to carry off for just a few days earlier than putting in, simply in case. Although this time, following the discharge of macOS Tahoe final Monday, we didn’t really feel as cautious as we did previously, as a result of the betas have been actually steady. Nevertheless it seems like we should always’ve heeded our outdated recommendation.
The Apple Assist Group has a thread concerning the M3 Extremely Mac Studio and customers who can’t set up macOS Tahoe. In lots of situations, customers run the set up and the whole lot appears to maneuver alongside properly, however when the Mac reboots (which is required when updating macOS), the system launches into macOS Sequoia, not Tahoe.
Ken Gruberman, who writes The Tech Daddy Substack, encountered this downside when making an attempt to put in Tahoe on his personal M3 Extremely Mac Studio. He informed me through electronic mail that he spent the “higher half” of a day making an attempt to do the set up within the inside SSD, in addition to on an exterior drive.
Gruberman and the Apple Assist postings level out that the problematic Mac Studios had Sequoia 15.7 put in; Sequoia 15.7 was launched on Monday, together with Tahoe. Plainly through the set up, Tahoe is searching for a driver however fails to search out it, leading to a failed set up. Different posts within the thread state that different methods of performing an set up (reminiscent of in Protected Mode or with an installer on an exterior USB drive) additionally failed.
A publish within the thread states that Apple Assist Europe is conscious of the issue and is engaged on a repair. Apple PR was contacted for remark and didn’t reply on the time of this posting.
If the problem is certainly tied to the Sequoia 15.7 replace, that might clarify the way it was not caught earlier than each updates had been launched. Apple typically follows up main releases with level updates to repair these points. M3 Extremely Mac Studio homeowners who up to date to Sequoia 15.7 and haven’t up to date to Tahoe but ought to wait till such an replace is on the market. Customers who tried to do the set up however failed can take some solace in that the Mac reverts to Sequoia and continues to be usable.
