Looking back, I upgraded only 4 times in 14 years. I did stay with Snow Leopard for a lot of years., for example. about every 2 or 3 years skipping often enough 1-2 generations of OSX.

MID 2012 MACBOOK PRO SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUES UPGRADE

perhaps a good moment to make a clean MacOS upgrade ? On the other hand I had never problems with just upgrading the OS since 2009. I mean the Screen) and used this also besides the 2012, so need to bring Data from 2 SSD on two MBPs together and clear the resulting new 4TB Samsung SSD from double files. I have also still a MBP 15" Late 2011 (the last with antiglare Screen which i love. Thanks again for your input !

I would go with Catalina, unless you need 32 bit app support. In this case, that would be Catalina, Big Sur, and Monterey. Many companies will only make their apps available for the three most recent macOSes.

The safari on a currently supported macOS (Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey) will still be receiving security updates.Īnother issue with unsupported macOSes (like Mojave and high sierra) is app compatibility.įor example, you cannot download a fresh copy of Microsoft teams or the LINE app or several other apps on unsupported macOS (Mojave, high sierra). When the OS stops receiving security updates, safari also stops receiving security updates, so your computer might be more vulnerable to security issues when browsing the internet on safari with macOS Mojave or High Sierra. While older OSes like high sierra or Mojave have some advantages (like being able to run 32bit apps), the older OSes are also no longer receiving security updates from Apple, so if you would like to use a macOS that is unsupported (Mojave or high sierra), it is best to use it with anti-virus software and also maybe use chrome instead of safari.

It runs Catalina natively, and I’ve been using a 2012 mbp 15 inch with Catalina for over a year now.

With OCLP, this machine will run Big Sur or Monterey. He emphasised all the good things about it and I was happy that there are still honest people on YT who don't push you to the last model that hit the market: Just 2 days before I found a very good YT-review of the 2012, which is referring NOW about it. NOTHING of those important things is glued or soldered - that´s how it should be! Mine has 16 GB RAM and 2 TB SSD, replaced the battery a year ago. YES, the mid 2012 MBP seems to be one of the best MBP, at least very reliable, the last completely upgradable, very repair-friendly, although sadly the first without the option of anti-glare Screen. If I need more GPU power, I activate the discrete GPU, but only then.Īnd. So, my MBP 2012 had a good prognosis since then - other than the 2 "grilled" ones before. Then I bought second hand the 2012 model and installed immediately the macFanControl app to get rid of the insufficient cooling and installed the gfxCardStatus App to even stop the discrete GPU and go with the internal GPU alone. Purchased then the MBP 2011 which died as well the GPU death some years later. Lost the MBP of 2008 in 2011 because of the typical problem of overheated internal discrete GPU, I started in 2008 with an MBP and 2 years later as well an MacPro 8-core. Thanks a lot for your participation and your recommendations! what would you recommend me as a stable, reliable and secure OS to replace Sierra on my MBP mid 2012? it seems that it is less simple to choose the best one than I thought. I read some comments about newer OS and while some people seemed to have nor problems, others called some nicknames like "Chaosliona" and "Big Blur" and so on and I learned that there were some OS that started new with the same security bugs that were already resolved in their predecessors. now I am thinking of updating my OS because there are no more security updates since some time. I have always waited at least for the most mature version of MacOS, that means 1 "generation" - sometimes even several years if the system ran flawlessly (because at the end of its many updates no more (?) bugs: Never change a running system.īut. Never a problem with the last version of it. Since some years my OS is Sierra, which i appreciate. I am still happy with my "old" MBP 15" mid 2012, upgraded since a long time with SSD.
