UPDATE | DECEMBER 2023

We have sufficiently tested all critical software with macOS索诺玛 and feel confident fully supporting the latest operating system on all ODU-managed Macs. You can manage this update on your own, any time that is convenient to you:

  • macOS索诺玛 should download automatically from the 应用程序商店. (If it doesn't, open the 应用程序商店,搜索 macOS索诺玛,并按 得到.
  • Save and close any documents you have open.
  • Once the download is complete, launch 自助服务 from your 应用程序s folder.
  • 搜索 for or browse to the tile named 安装 MacOS Sonoma 并点击 安装.
  • The computer will reboot and the update will begin.

Keep in mind: The installation process can take 30 minutes to an hour.

Remember: Before any upgrade, it is a good idea to store important files in OneDrive. (一定要检查 regulated data matrix before using cloud storage.) And if you have any issues with the upgrade, contact the ITS服务台.

SONOMA UPGRADE PROCEDURES


Apple recently released their latest major operating system upgrade, macOS索诺玛. Please do not update your Mac to Sonoma until we have time to evaluate its compatibility with ODU software, network and server infrastructure.

We will likely be ready to release Sonoma to ODU-managed machines in January 2024. If you decide to install Sonoma on your home computers, please understand that you may encounter difficulties using essential applications/services. It might be best to wait until the applications/services you use regularly are listed as "supported" in the table below. Those currently listed are a priority and more will be added as we are able to test them.

ITS works hard to ensure that Old Dominion University has a secure and reliable IT infrastructure. We must thoroughly test both Sonoma and our own technology before we can guarantee compatibility. We will update this page as more licensed software and University hardware are updated to fully support Sonoma.
