macOS Sequoia and iPadOS 18 Available
macOS Sequoia
Apple released macOS Sequoia on September 16, 2024. The Office of Information Technology has been running beta versions for several weeks, and we will continue testing it with the university's applications, such as Google Drive, Canvas, Examsoft/Examplify, SPSS, Hornet Hub, the wireless network, etc.
Please DO NOT update your Mac to Sequoia! You may experience issues that prevent you from performing your school or work activities.
Please wait to update until we can confirm the OS is compatible with SU systems and apps. Once we can ensure compatibility, we will notify the SU community that updating is okay.
iPadOS 18
Apple also released iPadOS 18. Before you update, we recommend you check with the developers of your critical applications for compatibility with the new OS.
If you use the Examplify app for exam-taking, it's critical that you wait to update until the developer has confirmed compatibility with iPadOS 18.
If you decide to update, please back up your iPad using Finder on your Mac or iCloud Backup before you do.
Early adopters will report issues to Apple, and most major issues will be resolved within a few weeks with another update.
