Wait to upgrade your mac to macOS Golden Gate (version 27)

Apple has released its newest operating system, macOS Golden Gate (version 27). 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. OIT recommends waiting to upgrade Apple devices to macOS Golden Gate (version 27) until most incompatibilities are addressed.

OIT is in the process of testing the new operating system for incompatibilities with OIT-supported software. The macOS Golden Gate (version 27) 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 Secure Computing and Buff Techs Pro (BTP) 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 Golden Gate (version 27) 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 Golden Gate 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 BTP customer, open a case with your BTP Technician.
