Apple released macOS Monterey (macOS 12), its newest operating system on Oct. 25, 2021. At the time, Campus Technology Services (CTS) urged the campus not to upgrade until they were able to test network and campus software compatibility.
Upon the completion of CTS' testing and evaluation, faculty and staff may now choose to upgrade to Monterey. Before doing so, please be aware of the following:
Your computer must meet certain hardware requirements. Please check Apple’s macOS Monterey Hardware Requirements page for more information.
Some of the older Konica Bizhub copiers may not be supported in Monterey immediately or at all. For more information on the supported Bizhub models, please visit Konica’s support page.
If you are upgrading from a Mac OS version earlier than Catalina, please note the following:
Microsoft (MS) Office 2011 is not supported in macOS Monterey. You will need to contact the CTS Help Desk to have your version of MS Office upgraded to the latest version. Alternatively, you can log into office.com/signin, using your full email address and current password, to download/install a copy of MS Office 365.
32-bit applications are no longer compatible with macOS Monterey. Once you upgrade, these applications will cease to work. During the upgrade process, Apple will display all the non-compatible apps before continuing with the installation of Monterey. For more information on incompatible 32-bit applications, check out the RoaringApps 32-bit apps page.
Please contact our CTS Help Desk with any questions or concerns you may have.
Thank you for your continued patience.
