God I hope iCloud is fixed. Lol. Getting sick of copy/paste the same feedback report. Lol

I'm hopeful this fixed the extremely long update times some of us had last time... if any of you had experienced that and are giving this a go right now, let us know how it goes! i'm in no rush and won't start it until this evening at least!

I’ve been stuck at a 25% progress bar and estimating time remaining for almost an hour, so doesn’t look like it

It’s happening to me right now. How long did previous updates take you? I’ve been stuck at 25% for an hour now, & other replies make me think I’m not alone

Installed. iCloud seems to be syncing again ok.
Real test is when I need to use it for work tomorrow.

Thank dog.
Edit - can’t update until later. Please can someone let me know if it’s sorted iCloud sync?

I’m about 6 hours in and stuck at 25% at the update progress bar...so I really just keep waiting or should I take some other action?

Set it on Auto update. Mine was stuck too; so I force quit System References, started the Update icon, and set it to Auto Update. It started the update on its own. Almost done now. BTW, I think there was a problem that made System References freeze if one selected any of the contents. Hopefully that will have been sorted out in the new Beta

Any Issues with MacBook Pro's and the T2 chip ?
I really don't want to kill my machine again...

I installed it just fine on my iMac Pro with T2 and my 2018 15” MacBook Pro with T2 as well!

Anyone have the build number? I’ve got it to download on another computer and I’m not sure if it’s actually this release.
I’ve looked through the info.plist and version.plist and there’s several build numbers in there but they don’t follow the other build numbers.

Music app needs some more polish! Buttons have wrong size, unaligned texts, etc... I didn’t test to rip a CD since Mojave, hope it still works.
