Apple warns that installing the operating system unofficially could leave your system damaged and out of warranty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-enroll-your-mac-for-the-latest-version-of-the-public-beta\">1. Enroll your Mac for the latest version of the public beta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve signed in at <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.apple.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beta.apple.com<\/a>, click on the macOS tab and then click \u201cDownload macOS Public Beta Access Utility.\u201d This will download an installer package that you can open from the Downloads window in Finder. Upon opening, this installer will open up System Preferences to the Software Updates subsection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once inside Software Updates, the system will see the public beta installer and allow you to click \u201cUpdate\u201d to upgrade you from your existing version of macOS to the public beta of Sonoma. (If you don\u2019t see the option to update to Sonoma, restart your Mac and try again.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the Sonoma beta has finished downloading, the installer should start automatically. If it doesn\u2019t or if you want to close the installer and finish the install later, you can reopen it from the Application folder in Finder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-create-a-separate-volume-to-run-both-the-beta-and-your-current-version-of-macos-on-the-same-mac\">2. Create a separate volume to run both the beta and your current version of macOS on the same Mac<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to run the Sonoma beta but still keep your current install of macOS available, and you\u2019re running macOS High Sierra or later, you can do so by creating a new APFS volume in macOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, open your Applications folder and click on the Utilities folder inside. Then open Disk Utility. In the sidebar, choose your existing APFS volume (typically called Macintosh HD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then click Edit in the menubar and select \u201cAdd APFS Volume\u201d from the dropdown, or click the add volume button (+) in the Disk utility toolbar. You\u2019ll only see these options if an APFS-formatted volume is selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a name for your new volume and click Add. Once the volume has been created, it will essentially act as a partition of the disk that can expand and shrink as necessary. Perfect for running a beta on. You can now quit Disk Utility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-install-the-macos-sonoma-public-beta\">3. Install the macOS Sonoma public beta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the Sonoma beta installer click \u201cContinue\u201d at the bottom of the window and then again if you haven\u2019t made a backup and would like to. If you\u2019ve already made a backup, you can click Cancel. Continue again on the next screen, Agree to the beta\u2019s licensing terms and agree once more to confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here you\u2019ll be able to choose which drive or volume you\u2019d like to download the beta to. If you don\u2019t see the disk or APFS volume you\u2019d like to install the beta to, click Show All Disks. Click the disk or volume and then click Continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, click Install and then enter your administrator password. Click OK and then click Restart if your Mac doesn\u2019t restart automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-enjoy-the-beta\">4. Enjoy the beta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the install is complete and the Mac reboots, you\u2019ll be running the macOS Sonoma beta. If you installed the beta on a separate drive or volume, you can shut down your Mac and upon hitting the power button, immediately hold down the Option key until you see the Apple logo appear. From here you can choose to boot up either the beta or the version of macOS you were running previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple releases updates to macOS public betas just as they do official releases. To update to the latest version of the beta, you can open Settings&gt;Software Update&gt;Update Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-install-the-ios-17-public-beta\">How to Install the iOS 17 Public Beta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero.png 1280w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-213x120.png 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-284x160.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-190x107.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-750x421.png 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-548x308.png 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-364x204.png 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-230x129.png 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-213x120@2x.png 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-284x160@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ios-17-hero-190x107@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-compatibility-1\">Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you download the public beta, make sure your iPhone is compatible. iOS 17 supports only the following iPhones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max<\/li><li>iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus<\/li><li>iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max<\/li><li>iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini<\/li><li>iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max<\/li><li>iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini<\/li><li>iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max<\/li><li>iPhone 11<\/li><li>iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max<\/li><li>iPhone XR<\/li><li>iPhone SE (2nd generation or later)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beta-means-backing-up\">Beta Means Backing Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is always good practice to backup a device prior to upgrading to a new OS, this is especially the case with software currently in a beta state.
