How to download macOS Mojave 10.14 public beta 4 to your Mac

macOS Mojave, the next generation of Mac software, is now available as a public beta.

Apple has been offering public betas for macOS for a couple of years now as a way for those interested in testing out the upcoming software on their Macs, and providing feedback. If that’s you, you’ll need to sign up, enroll your Mac, download macOS Mojave, and install it. It’s not an overly complicated process, but we’re here to walk you through it and, if you need it, a place to get extra help.

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac (sadly, no public beta for the Apple Watch). While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. That’s why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for sof…

Want to see what’s going with tvOS 12? The public beta is now available. Here’s how to download it!

tvOS 12 is coming later this year, though Apple has yet to say anything about it. Ahead of its arrival, Apple is letting interested users check it out beforehand with a public beta.

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac (sadly, no public beta for the Apple Watch).

That’s why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and using the public betas with caution. If you depend on your devices, wait for the final release.

How to download iOS 12 public beta 4 to your iPhone or iPad

Looking to try out iOS 12? The public beta is now available. Here’s how to download it!

iOS 12 is on its way with several new and important features that need to be tested before the software is made available to the general public. As such, Apple is letting interested users check out iOS 12 and provide feedback before it goes into wide release.

If you’re one of those interested users, however, you will have to go through the public beta download and install process. While it’s not complicated, it’s a bit of a departure for how you might normally get software onto your iPhone or iPad. So, we’re going to walk you through it and give you a place to ask questions if you need extra help.
