Having had absolutely problem with previous Mac OS versions I installed Catalina and as I noted in an earlier post, my very old version of PS Elements no longer works as it's a 32 bit application. This is my only program that doesn't work with Catalina.

While I still prefer the (otherwise) flawless operation of a Mac over a PC, I have to say that perhaps Apple dropped the ball on this one. I suppose it's unfair to expect them to wait until all software products have "caught up" to them but they did little to warn users about this issue, telling us that 32 bit applications would be a problem but not recommending we wait to install Catalina until problems like this were iron out. Since I fully expected to update my photo processing software anyway, this is a mild annoyance, not a catastrophe but I still think Mac should have coordinated better with a large manufacturer like Adobe or they should have warned their users better.

There may be a problem with TeamViewer on Catalina. Lots of folks use it, so be warned. Also, when Catalina is ready, it prompts you for a, "new" Apple ID,
think long and hard. If you have used, "JoeBlow@me.com" for your past Apple ID, Catalina won't let you use, "@me.com" for some reason. So I changed to something fictitious, after all, it's just an ID, right? Now,I think I may have to do more than simply reload....DONT UPGRADE TO CATALINA RIGHT NOW..WAIT UNTIL ?????? Everyone is having different problems, my local Mac shop is not thrilled.

It may seem like a thing of the past, but using a desktop model of computer is still a popular choice for offices that require a large amount of the same system or business centers and conference rooms where people may be doing work for long periods of time. Also, there are people who like this ability at home as well: to have a dedicated spot to sit and complete any work or tasks that need to get completed. If you want to have a dedicated work space at home where you can get some things done with some privacy or without distractions, your best bet may be to look into a used iMac.

With Mac of All Trades, you can get some of the best Apple products for a great price and still get superb performance and quality. There are several benefits to a used iMac that can make this decision that much easier. Today, we will look at these reasons as you consider your decision.

Simple Setup - When you think of desktop computers, you may think of bulky monitors, power sources, and all sorts of parts that help it function. An iMac is very different. The monitors are very thin and easy to move, and the body of the monitor contains everything you need for the computer to function; even the USB and other ports are built into the body. It makes getting everything connected and starting to use your computer quick and easy.

Larger Display - You can do a lot of things on the go with an Apple MacBook, and those devices come with perfectly capable screens. That said, you can get Apple iMacs with even larger screens that show muchmore detail. A 21.5-inch or larger iMac can be perfect for tasks requiring intensive graphics processing, like graphic design. The large screen can also be great for gaming and entertainment. Being able to see the fine details and getting the best display on the market is a great feature you can get from a used iMac.

Built-in Virus Protection - One of the best features of Apple computers is their proprietary security features that arebuilt into Apple’s operating system. No computer is completely invulnerable to viruses, but rather than install a bunch of third-party virus protection programsthat can slow your computer down, you can go full speed ahead with your iMac and not worry about adding additional virus protection software. Apple puts a lot of emphasis on security and keeping your files and data safe so you can just enjoy the features of your computer.

When you want to find a used iMac for your home that is at a great price and offers all of the great features that you get when you shop new, choose a place that ensures you are getting a quality product.

I find myself in the same position - once a fan-boi but in the past few years Apple has created ever more problems - forcing then dropping Thunderbolt interfaces on the iMac, forcing you to use the Apple branded wall wart to charge the iPad Mini (which suddenly became a requirement after an iOS upgrade), screwing up Bluetooth connectivity on the iPhone after various upgrades to the iOS, and having the maps program (Apple's or Google's) speaking capability just stop working for no apparent reasons.
