Mac Users: Hold Off Upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Apple will release its latest operating system, macOS Tahoe 26, this fall. At this time, Information Technology Services recommends not installing this upgrade, as you may encounter compatibility issues with various applications used at the university.
\nOnce our vendors certify that key applications used in our environment are compatible, we will notify you that it is safe to install this upgrade.<\/p>\n

If you use a Mac outside of school or work, you may also want to confirm that your software is compatible with macOS Tahoe 26 before upgrading.<\/p>\n

Questions? Please contact the Technology Support Center at tuhelp.temple.edu<\/a> or call 215-204-8000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
