Wait to upgrade to macOS Tahoe

Apple has released its newest operating system, macOS Tahoe (version 26). As is often the case with new operating systems, there are expected incompatibilities with a number of widely used applications at CU Boulder and beyond. Because of this, OIT recommends waiting to upgrade Apple devices to macOS Tahoe (version 26) until most incompatibilities are addressed.

OIT is in the process of testing the new operating system for incompatibilities with OIT-supported software. The macOS Tahoe (version 26) Release Information page is your resource for more details about known issues, and we’ll continue to update that page as we learn more.

As we have done in the past, all Mac systems enrolled in Dedicated Desktop Support (DDS) will be prevented from upgrading to the new operating system until significant compatibility issues have been addressed. 

Stay up-to-date with recommended software

Visit the macOS Tahoe (version 26) Release Information page for further details and the Software Lifecycle page to find all of OIT’s recommendations about current software and operating systems. If you have questions about Tahoe or any of OIT’s recommendations, please contact the IT Service Center at oithelp@colorado.edu or call 303-735-4357 or, if you’re a DDS customer, open a case with your DDS Technician.
