macOS Tahoe 26 and iPadOS 26 Available
macOS Tahoe 26
Apple released macOS Tahoe 26 on September 15, 2025. 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 at this time! 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 26
Apple also released iPadOS 26 on September 15, 2025. 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 26.
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.
