Just wondering if any Mac users have updated to version 10.14 yet. I am always apprehensive of an installation until the first minor update that fixes the bugs of a new OS.

I'm curious how to tell? Specifically my wife has the Adobe Creative Suite which was purchased and downloaded. It is now only available on the cloud at $50 month so motivation is high to keep it intact.

Cloud based apps. Interesting. If the app is updated, do you get the update automatically, still at $50/month?
My ancient days as a university network manager: when an app ("program") was updated, it often didn't mesh with the operating system you had. So you had to update the o/s. But the updated o/s often didn't mesh with your hardware, so you had to update the hardware. And the new hardware often required (or used) new drivers for the peripherals - which often didn't work with specific applications.
Will the circle ... be unbroken?

Check with the vendor for any apps you use. They'll usually have something prominent on their website if there is a known issue. I was notified of one potential issue with some music software I use (Finale) but they had it sorted out before I did the update.
I haven't done my work laptop yet, but that's a more complicated environment (though I expect it'll work just fine).

Today I installed Mojave on my MacBook and now I'm unable to transfer calls from my iPhone to my MacBook. Prior to the install I could make a call on my iPhone and then transfer it to my MacBook if I wanted to. Now, I can answer INCOMING calls on my MacBook but I cannot transfer OUTGOING calls. :mad-new:

I do Mac tech support for a school - we NEVER take the new offerings right away. Usually when they get to somewhere around 14.3 or 14.4 they have enough of the glitches worked out to start considering it. Likewise for the point updates - always give it time to see what other people report before accepting them. I'm a firm believer in the "if its not broken don't fix it" methodology.
Still using 10.12 at the school because of potential complications that the new APFS drive formatting they intro'd in 10.13...its possible to implement 10.13 without switching to APFS but have not had a need to yet. Since Apple sets the firmware on new machines to not accept any OS older than what it shipped with, we get forced into upgrading when the school buys new machines. So at some point we will likely be looking at attempting a Mohave deployment but there is no definitive answer yet on whether or not Mohave will require the use of APFS or not.

Yakko,
Since you have a firmer grasp on this than me, what would it mean if the APFS format was required on drives. I currently have four external drives, backed up to a cloud. Would I have to reformat and then restore from the cloud? That would take forever.

With Yakko talking about a school buying new computers and whatnot you know he lives in Texas, at my school I can't get them to buy new vis a vis pens for my overhead.

and I presume an overhead is a plane in the sky?!
Wow. Remember when we used things like chalk board, overhead, and flip chart? (Remember the "film strip", and the chime sound on the record/tape to indicate moving to the next slide?) Should be one in every classroom!
Soon it'll be direct electromagnetic knowledge implant in the students' brains.

Egads Tom, You just put me out of a job. A hard drive and a USB port in the side of the head and I am unemployed.

Update.....
I just got off the phone with Apple Support... the feature that allowed me to transfer the call from my iPhone to my MacBook is NO LONGER SUPPORTED with Mojave.I just got off the phone with Apple Support... the feature that allowed me to transfer the call from my iPhone to my MacBook is NO LONGER SUPPORTED with Mojave.I just got off the phone with Apple Support... the feature that allowed me to transfer the call from my iPhone to my MacBook is NO LONGER SUPPORTED with Mojave.I just got off the phone with Apple Support... the feature that allowed me to transfer the call from my iPhone to my MacBook is NO LONGER SUPPORTED with Mojave.

Although that will not affect me, I am sorry to learn of what happened to you due to the "upgrade". It is why I have not yet gone forward. I keep waiting to learn of the problems that might occur if I make the change.

Probably not - since they are external drives and not the drive you are booting from, it shouldn't make any difference what file format they use. If they DO make Mohave require APFS it will most likely only require changing the boot drive itself (and High Sierra already has the ability to do that at install time without a complete reformat). APFS is designed and seems geared toward consumer level users so it probably won't matter much to individuals - the issues it creates become more concerning at the institutional/enterprise level where things like cross platform integration and mass deployment processes come into play.
