macOS Ventura is Now Available From the Mac App Store

Update succeeded, but Ethernet 2.5 Gb not working I tried specifying Full-Duplex (not the “flow-control“ one, and not the “energy-efficient-ethernet” one), which used to work under Monterey, but no luck under Ventura.

Mine too is not working. I just noticed it.
Solved by disabling the Device Properties associated with the i225.

As Late 2016 MacBook Pro 15" top with discrete GPU owner, I'm very disappointed...

MacBook Air 2017 here...

You would have thought that I learned my lesson from being an early adopter of Monterey, and how that borked the 6900XT video drivers.

And yet ... I couldn't resist ...



Nevertheless, water seems fine. For now.

Will report back on any weirdness, but so far so good.

I don't know how long it took. The update was available through System Preferences, about 30 min after tonymac posted the news. I set it to update, then I had a couple of hr long meetings. By the time I returned, my Hack had updated, then went to sleep (it is set to sleep after 1 h of inactivity). So it must have taken about an hr or so.

All went smooth Desktop and laptop. OC 0.8.5 update from Monterey 12.6. Cheers

It’s System Settings now, not preferences.

It would have been System Preferences if going from Monterey to Ventura.

I must report that, after logon, I have freezes probably due to the ton of apps I have installed being opened after logon.
Maybe xtrafinder or Little Snitch. Anyway I noticed these 2 things.
On the first boot the monitor was set to low blue mode which was never the case before. (Could be new WhatEverGreen?)
Also, it says I have no Internet while I have an Intel natively supported NIC.
I will leave it a while running. However it looks really frozen no cursor movement nothing.

EDIT: the freezes seemed to be caused byt LittleSnitch app so update or remove it before upgrade
Also i noticed no network as the Intel 82574L support has been dropped as stated here

All went smooth here, Open Core 0.8.3. As a former user of Clover and remembering the hackintosh from 8-10 years ago, these smooth updates from today are just unbelievable. It took some 20-25 minutes, few restarts, and looking good so far.

My freezes are random: sometimes on logon screen; sometimes few seconds after; sometimes few minutes after.
The Gigabyte Intel NIC shows it is connected, but no connectivity. It could be still Little Snitch, but I have no network in recovery, too.
I'll revert back to Monterey.

So it was the full installer from the App Store was 12.19GB and gave off a 2 hour download. The upgrade from 12.6 was only 3.92GB... about 15 minutes.

Fastest upgrade I have ever done.

Managed without a heck. Updated OC to 0.8.4 and Kexts and All went fine. wifi/Ethernet/Bluetooth working/Display and second monitor. Can't say this upgrade was the most difficult!
