Luckily, there is a utility called macOS Catalina Patcher, which lets you download the complete setup file from Apple’s servers. Here is how you can use this app to get a copy of macOS Catalina. Well, when Catalina was released, there was a lot of great feedback. But like many other macOS versions, it also had its fair share of bad feedback. While some users had a hard time installing it, others experienced random problems and errors, such as Bluetooth issues in macOS Catalina. The patch will enable you to install Catalina on an older Mac. The Catalina hack doesn't work with every Mac, but many are covered. You can see if your Mac is supported here. Download macOS Catalina 10.15 Installer with macOS Catalina Patcher Although it may appear easy to try out the conventional approach of downloading macOS update in Software Update, there are a few known issues on old Macs shipped in 2013 or earlier, meaning the download progress can not be completed successfully.
MacOS 10.15 Catalina brings EFI firmware updates for all supported models, and subsequent updates have changed those for most models too. This article lists the firmware versions of Macs which have been successfully updated with Catalina Security Update 2021-004, and should also apply to those updated with Mojave Security Update 2021-005.
With a few exceptions, macOS 10.15 (Catalina) is supported by our currently active applications and drivers.
Below is a detailed rundown of compatibility issues for Line 6 products on a case-by-case basis. If you run into any problems or have a question for us, please reach out via the Contacts page (https://line6.com/company/contact/).
Editors:
• All currently supported editors work as expected.
• The following editors are no longer supported at this time and will not work on Catalina:
- Line 6 Edit
- Vyzex
- Backtrack Utility
Updaters
• Line 6 Updater works as expected.
• Line 6 Monkey is not compatible with macOS 10.15 (Catalina). A solution for Catalina customers to update firmware is in-progress.
Drivers
• All currently supported drivers and devices work as expected except for the Helix custom driver.
• Helix class compliant audio works as expected.
• The Helix custom driver (which adds support for additional sample rates) does not yet work correctly.
Plug-ins
• Currently, Helix Native and POD Farm 2 work as expected on all supported DAWs, except Cubase, as there is no 64-bit VST version of POD Farm 2 for macOS. As DAWs are updated to adopt Apple’s latest requirements and security measures, our plug-ins may need to be updated to continue working with those DAWs. We will work with DAW vendors to update Helix Native and POD Farm 2, but we cannot guarantee that they will not release updates that break our compatibility.

If you've updated to Catalina and you're having trouble with the software that we list in the article as working, it's likely you have a 32-bit version of those programs installed. Please uninstall them and then download the latest version of them, which will be 64-bit.
