IT Services support statement for Apple macOS

This page gives information on the versions of the Apple Mac operating system supported by IT Services for use on the Trinity data network.

Supported versions of macOS

In Trinity offices and labs and on the Staff Wi-Fi service

IT Services currently provides support for computers running the following versions of macOS on the Trinity data network in offices and labs, and on the Staff Wi-Fi service:

macOS Ventura (13.x)

macOS Big Sur (11.x)

Support for macOS Sonoma (14.0)

macOS Sonoma (macOS 14.0) will be released on 26th September 2023.

In the days and weeks following release, IT Services will carry out testing for network connectivity and compatibility with our central IT services. Until this testing is complete, we will not be able to provide support for this version of macOS and would recommend not upgrading until our testing is completed successfully.

Older versions of macOS

Apple has ended support for earlier versions of macOS. This means that they no longer provide software security updates for these operating systems and continuing to run these unsupported operating systems represents a security risk to the Trinity data network and to your own data. If your computer is running an earlier version of macOS, then we encourage you to take action to ensure you continue to receive full support from us by upgrading your operating system. Information on how to upgrade, for free, to a more recent version of macOS can be found on the Apple website at www.apple.com/macos/how-to-upgrade.
