1st: Mojave is working better than High Sierra with my computer. Faster wake up times etc.
Installation was without a problem. Audio worked. USB 3.o was active after applying the necessary port limit patch for 10.14.
2nd: I had a very strange problem, which has costed me mor tah 2 day to fix:
With most files - not matter if .jpg .png or .pdf - made Preview show the beachball: crash.
But not all file. Couldn't find a system behind that. More than 90% of the file produced a crash.
3rd: On my Macnook Pro A1502 Preview is working perfectly - despite the installation is 99.9% the same.
Strange!
1. I tried to delete every preference file that could have to do with preview. Didn't help.
2. I made a new clean install on my computer - no change.
3. I booted a backup clone from an extrenal SSD with 10.13.6 - works!
4. I did some experiments with different Mac types via SMBIOS in Clover. First I just changed the type of the Mac, keeping the board-type, its serial, the Macs serial and SmUUID because I didn't want to risk Facetime with serial changes. Result was: several other types from imac14.2 to imac 18.3 did not help.
5. I tried the same with new numers generated via Clover Configurator: This worked! Strange but fact.
6. I tested this with new numers except System serial number and SmUUID: Worked too!
I found out that Mojave doesn't like my old combination of Board type, ID and serial number.
Don't know why but that is the solution.
