Until now, most who are interested in macOS might have known everything or at least heard about the next version of macOS. The macOS Catalina is one of the most up running operating systems which has the most advanced features and update apps. This new version of the operating system which is recently out in July 2019 does everything in a quick, easy, and fairway.
In addition to Mac users who are enthusiastic about macOS, Windows users are also interested in macOS. Now without any use, there’s no benefit of their interest. With this in mind, they’ve found a working way to install macOS on Windows. The installation is process is shown by us and we’ve also shared the file.
With that, there are countless of Windows users running macOS on virtual machines such as VMware Workstation or VirtualBox. But after installation, pretty much most of the users have informed us of the features not working problem such as iMessage, iCloud, and App Store. In this article, I’ll show how to fix macOS Catalina iMessage, iCloud, and App Store problem on VMware on Windows PC.
Every time Apple announces a new operating system, Apple also reveals new awesome unique features with it such as Dark Mode. The Dark mode is one of the highlighted features in the new macOS Catalina. There are also a bunch of other features such as iCloud Drive folder sharing, Screen Time, Apple Music time-synced lyrics view, and more. You can also experience your favorite iPad apps now on your Mac. The update also improves the performance, quality, and security of your Mac.
Something else which you may notice is no more iTunes. That is the shifted with three different apps so now we have separate Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts. And use Finder for some of the other functions, for example, syncing iPhone. Around that, Apple has also updated its existing features such as iMessage, iCloud, App Store and more.
