I simply purchased a brand new M3 MacBook Professional 16″. It has macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 (after upgrading from the pre-installed model – 14.3 I feel).
I’m an app developer and I want to assist macOS 12+ for one in all my apps. So my objective is to put in macOS 12 and macOS 13, together with macOS 14, in separate partitions on the brand new Mac so I can sometimes take a look at my app on the older OS variations.
In response to Apple’s assist web page macOS Ventura is suitable with these computer systems, Ventura is suitable with “MacBook Professional (16-inch, 2023)”.
In response to Apple’s assist web page How one can obtain and set up macOS, I can obtain the Ventura installer from the macOS App Retailer app. The “Get” button will likely be enabled if suitable. Certain sufficient, once I view Ventura within the App Retailer app I see the “Get” button and it’s enabled. Clicking on the “Get” button takes me to the Settings app’s Software program Replace display. After a second of “Checking for updates…”, I get a dialog that states:
Replace not discovered. The requested model of macOS is just not accessible. Please examine in case your Mac is suitable with this software program.
Can Ventura be put in on an M3 MacBook Professional or not? If that’s the case, how can I get round the issue of downloading the installer?
I additionally appeared inside the developer.apple.com/downloads web site and could not discover a hyperlink to Ventura.
I nonetheless have my previous 2018 Intel MacBook Professional 15″ operating macOS 14.3. Following the identical steps, I’m able to obtain macOS Ventura on that Mac. However earlier than I obtain a 12GB file on that laptop, I need to know if it could even work on the brand new M3 MacBook Professional.
