F2OGGY (Only One Survives!) Mac OS

So, you want to try out the latest macOS beta but don’t want to lose the stability of the current system? You’re not alone. We also like to get an early look at the latest software, but we‘re also very aware that beta software is often buggy and that the majority of apps used on a daily basis aren’t yet compatible with it, and so overwriting the stable macOS currently being used could potentially cause the unwelcome deaths of millions of neurons.

Years ago, Apple sold only Macs. Processors had only one core. A program with 100,000 lines of code was large, and most were single-threaded. A modern Apple operating system has tens of millions of lines of code. Your Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and HomePod all talk to each other and talk to iCloud.

But guess what? macOS provides a neat way to run two operating systems at the same time via its dual-boot utility known as Boot Camp Assistant, allowing users to select the operating system through the Startup Manager. Although it isn’t possible to install a second version of macOS with Boot Camp (only Windows), it can be tricked into booting your Mac in the desired beta OS.

Download CleanMyMac X from MacPaw’s website and clean up to 500MB of junk data from your computer while enjoying all the features of the software without major limitations.

  1. Officially, the operating system that was available on that Mac at the time that you bought it is the oldest version of macOS that can run on that Mac. It's likely that an older OS won't include.
  2. Mac OS X & macOS names. As you can see from the list above, with the exception of the first OS X beta, all versions of the Mac operating system from 2001 to 2012 were all named after big cats.

How to Install macOS Beta on Your Mac

Mac users with startup disk formatted as APFS will need to follow some preparatory tasks to get the system ready:

  1. Launch Disk Utility and select your startup disk (usually Macintosh HD). Remember, the following steps only apply to users running macOS 10.3 High Sierra or later.
  2. Click on the Add Volume button (“+”) to add another volume to your disk.
  3. Name the newly created volume Mojave, or whatever name you prefer.
  4. Choose APFS as the volume’s format. At this point, you can set a minimum and maximum storage limit for the volume by clicking on the Size Options and entering the desired values.
  5. Finalize it by clicking the Add button.

Install macOS Mojave

  1. Before getting access to the beta version of macOS Mojave, you will need to sign up for the public beta program on beta.apple.com.
  2. Sign in with your Apple ID and enrol your device onto the program.
  3. Download the Public Beta Access Utility and install the package file onto your Mac. A second app, Feedback Assistant, will also appear, but this can be ignored it at this point.
  4. Enter the Mac App Store and you’ll see the macOS Mojave public beta downloader. If not, go to the Updates section and locate it there.
  5. Click to download the Mojave installer. Since you’ll download close to 6GBs of data at this point, it will take some time depending on your internet connection.
  6. When the download has finished, it will automatically launch the installer. Click “Continue”.
  7. Agree to the terms and click the “Show All Disks” button to reveal your newly created APFS volume. Note: if you don’t do this, you’ll overwrite the stable operating system and you’ll have lost the option to dual boot.
  8. Select the Mojave partition and click install.
  9. Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the installer to finish its job.
  10. Enjoy macOS Mojave.

Next time you start your computer it will automatically boot into macOS Mojave, which is fine if you only want to use the latest operating system. However, if your daily tasks are centered around the ‘old’ and stable operating system, then you’ll need to do a simple trick to make sure that the Mac will only boot into macOS Mojave when you want it to.

  1. Launch System Preferences.
  2. Open the Startup Disk pane. You’ll see at least two systems listed there: the old one (macOS 10.13.x) and the new one (macOS Mojave 10.14).
  3. Click on the lock icon to make changes and enter the admin password when prompted.
  4. Select macOS 10.13.x as the default operating system.
  5. Close the lock to prevent further changes.

Install a Second macOS on HFS+ Formatted Drive

Those who skipped formatting their drive to APFS can still install the public beta macOS Mojave (or any later OS). The only change in the preparation stage is to add a partition instead of a new volume and format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

How to Boot Into macOS Mojave

Now that you have everything set up to dual boot and the time to play around with Apple’s latest operating system, all you need to do is start the Mac and press the Option key until the Startup Manager appears. Here you’ll see the two macOS versions (the two volumes), so select Mojave as shown in the image above. And that’s it. Enjoy macOS Mojave and don’t forget to send Apple your feedback on how the operating system behaves on your machine.

1999 – It doesn’t just look like an iMac from the front, although the blue-and-white coloring is certainly reminiscent of the iMac. So is the compact keyboard. At least the mouse has the more traditional hand-fitting shape.

There are many similarities and differences between the iMac and the eOne.

Differences

  • The eOne runs Windows98, not the Mac OS.
  • It’s only $799 – or $399 after a $400 ISP rebate.
  • It has a 433 MHz Celeron processor. It sounds faster than the iMac’s 333 MHz G3.
  • 128 KB level 2 cache, compared with 512 KB L2 cache on the iMac
  • It has more standard memory: 64 MB vs. the iMac’s 32 MB
  • No memory expansion (iMac can be expanded to 384 MB)
  • Internal floppy drive
  • Parallel, serial, game, and PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports
  • Two PC Card slots

Similarities

  • The color scheme.
  • 15″ (14″ viewable) monitor supports resolutions to 1024 x 768.
  • 24x CD-ROM.
  • Internal v.90 56k fax modem.
  • ATI Rage Pro video.
  • USB support.
  • 10Base-T ethernet (although iMac also supports faster 100Base-T speed).
  • Ports on right side of computer, not the back.
  • No PCI expansion slots.

Limited Expansion

The iMac survived without PCI expansion slots, so I suppose the eOne can do the same. And, unlike many Wintel computers, it has ethernet as a standard feature.

This is a very encouraging sign. The Wintel world is beginning to see the importance of networking.

But the eOne has a sealed case. You can’t replace the hard drive if you need a bigger one, replace the CD-ROM with a DVD drive, or even upgrade memory from the stock 64 MB.

Conclusion

I’d fully intended to ignore the eOne here, as I do most Wintel computers. But the raves in The eOne: At Less Than a Grand, Love Is Grand Indeed (Chicago Tribune) were more than I could handle.

Then that little gem near the end of the article: the sealed case.

Unlike the iMac, you can’t open up the eOne to upgrade memory.

And then I visited their site to confirm it. Unlike any Wintel computer I’ve ever seen specs on before, there was no maximum RAM listing. It has 64 MB. Period.

And then I saw the rear view. I looks even more iMac-like from the back than from the front!

In some ways, eOne buyers who think they’re getting an iMac get what they deserve: a cheap rip-off. On the other hand, putting your own brand of cola in a bottle shaped like Coke’s will land you in court for design infringement.

If the concept of “trade dress” (distinctive appearance) exists in the computer industry, Apple certainly has grounds to sue eMachines over the eOne.

Update: The eOne did not sell well in the few months it was on the market. Apple did sue eMachines later in August 1999. The case was settled in March 2000.
