Macos Mojave Big Sur
Achmat Das
Also this link: -mojave/id1398502828?ls=1&mt=12 does nothing on my computer. Does this work for anyone else here? I am running the latest Mojave myself and want to install it on an external drive which will then become an internal drive on a 2012 MacBook Pro.
I find out what the problem was--it was my Cricket Wireless Service ISP--somehow they apparently were blocking the links from going through (I could have downloaded Catalina which shows up in a serach in the app store). Because I live in an area in rural New York where we receive a cell signal but no land services (such as DSL or cable) I have been pleased with using the internet through my phones hotspot--for the amount that I use it, it has proven to be very economical. I only occasionally need to download a large file (like Mojave) and often can arrange to do it elsewhere (like at some friends' work locations).
I figured this out by going to the local library and to MacDonald's, using their wifi, and successfully seeing these links connect through. I sat in MacDonald's about a half hour while the download completed and my problem was solved. "I'm lovin' it!"
I don't really have a concern about Mac OS being modified in that way (the only modifications I know about is the OS displaying specific emojis based on where the device is or where it was originaly sold).
After looking around some more it would seem that the links will or will not open based on IP address. I am currently in China so the link I gave above works just fine but if I try any other link they won't open until I use a vpn at which point the link related to the App Store in the country where the vpn server is hosted will open and the China link won't open.
I've got a showstopper bug that hopefully someone knows how to fix. Maya 2020 on macOS mojave hangs whenever I try to do anything in the Hypershade. Simply creating a new blinn shader causes Maya to freeze and consume 100% of the CPU.
Okay, so we do have this logged in our bug catalogue. It's ticket# MAYA-101485 You can refer to this number in future Maya release notes to see if it has been fixed. In the meantime you may just need to use the hypershade as a floating window.
I just find it curious to have to apply a workaround for a feature that has been working for 20 years. In a software that costs nearly 3 grand a year.
And we're talking about a known issue that has not been fixed for 5 months now. I'm sorry. I can't think of any legit excuse from a multi-billion dollar company.
Blew a few hours on this exact issue myself here today. Thanks for the tip - things aren't playing well on OSX with docked windows. Hypershade in it's own window and it's good. Same hardware and troubleshooting path led me here to this answer and confirmation. Also a long time user and deciding to move to a different platform.
