Hello,
I understand you frustration. Yes, Apple has changed some policies in the recent past, but nothing that much different than they have always done. They aren't making things harder for the end-user by design. The entire computer industry has simply switched to a software release model that supports the current "I want it now" mentality of the consumer. Unfortunately, that increases the instability of software, as it isn't always free of bugs and incompatibility with older software/hardware.
The link we gave should open the App Store app and navigate to the "non-searchable" page to enable you to download the Catalina installer:
If that isn't happening, there may be another issue that we need to address first.
As I mentioned at the beginning of my reply, I understand your frustration. I have also been an Apple supporter since the Apple II, and have worked in the computer industry professionally since 1992. As all of us here are Apple enthusiast volunteers that donate our time for free to seek help with or assist others with their Apple-related issues, I did not appreciate your statement: "
Question: And are you guys
(Mac Help) sworn to security wtih Apple? There is no answer to my question of updating my OS here on this forum.....?"
We have no affiliation with Apple, receive no compensation, and get just as frustrated with some of the changes and issues as everyone else. And, we have been trying to help work through your upgrade issue.
That said, we are willing to keep working through this. But, we need to maintain decorum going forward, as this issue has nothing to do with profits or our country.
