I have a MacBook Pro (Early 2010) that I've recently upgraded internally that was running on OS X High Sierra. This is by far the clearest tutorial on how to install OS X Catalina on the MacBook Pro. My MacBook Pro now runs smoothly for exactly what I intended to use it for! Thank you! Good luck!
is catalin running smoothly? for surfing the internet, watching youtube or netfflix? on my MBP 2010 (high Sierra) I play on hearthstone and this game run very good.

Thank you very much for this. I just updated my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I definitely recommend going into the settings after you complete this and go to accessibility, and marking “Reduce Transparency”. It does seem slow at first, but once I marked that it worked just fine. As long as you follow the instructions in this video you are set. Thanks again!
Is there anything you can recommend to do after this, because i am using MB pro late 2011 running mac os hight sierra then updated to catalina , it seems fine but kinda slower than high sierra, even the disk speed is slower than before

Heck yes! Just did this on my mid 2010 macbook pro 13 inch and got 10.15.7 and was able to finally install windows office (because they require 10.14.0 at least) and now saved 1600 bucks as opposed to getting a new macbook because of this! I had 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo but had previously upgrade myself to 500 gb SSD and 16 gb of ram and now it runs perfect!
Nice job. I updated a 2008 iMac and a 2010 Mac Mini to Catalina (both Core 2 Duo processors) Everything worked fine; however, I reverted back to El Capitan on both due to performance issues, nothing out of the ordinary, but both systems ran better, less sluggish with El Capitan. Both are systems that I do not use regularly. So no big deal. Just because there is a new OSX out doesn't necessarily imply that the older systems will perform any better and in most cases will not, IMHO. I would highly recommend prior to patching, install more RAM an a SSD. Those two items will provide the biggest boost to system performance.
Hi Sir, I just installed Catalina it's work well after 6 hours installation and before install I was on Problem of Restart automatically in my Mac, now everything is working Properly Thanks 😊😊😊
6:37 when I get to this part I cannot select my volume and it says „ You must be running Catalina 10.15 or later to install onto this volume“ I don‘t get why though. I‘m running a 2010 MacBook Pro as well. Do you perhaps know the solution?
So I have a 2010 Mac book when you updated it did it give you the latest apps as well because mine has safari when it was shaped like a compass with actually N,S,E,W labeled on it
Awesome and LIKED! Thanks for posting this. Planning on doing this for my 2010 MBP. How do you find Catalina's performance on the 2010? Is it pretty snappy ?
syahmi ikhwan ezani Hes not saying that, but it’s ideal to upgrade your ram since the new OS uses a lot of ram (as expected since the future demands more power)
I gave a 2010-Mid MacBook Pro away to my unk. Because, I was told by so many sites it could only be updated if it was 2012 mac. So, I got a new one lol. Anyways, he later, asked to update it. We stumbled on your vid and got it updated to Catalina ⭐ That was awesome. Appreciate it. First had to update to 10.13 from 10.11 . Then 10.15 from 10.13. ~Stay blessed
One question I’d like to get answered what’s with the relocated items folder on the top right hand corner of your screen ? I know this because I have onetoo and I don’t know what I should do with it .... can’t delete it
Ray R Vidal I believe it’s just older now incompatible system files that are no longer needed. Macrumors has an explanation on their site: www.macrumors.com/guide/relocated-items/
@@IansTech I installed the OS into its traditional hard drive and the MBP is painfully slow. Should I upgrade the drive to an SSD and leave the 4 GB of Ram in it? Will it make a difference later on? And how will I clone the contents of my drive to an SSD? Can Disk Utility do it?
Your the best ! , I have a MacBook 2009 and a MacBook Pro mid 2010 and I followed your instructions that you made sound so easy on my Pro and everything works perfectly! Yes I notice my PC runs slower a bit , although you can’t beat working newly on a old device.If I ever decide to switch back I would definitely come to you .
Yes you can, just check on his website to see if there are any compatibility issues, I think only one I’d be concerned with is the graphics issue on some models.
I saw so many videos about installation of catalina but this video is the best. The other ones are making everything complicated and their videos seem professional but they are not.
@@IansTech thanks dude. it was successful upgrade. it did slow down my mac so i upgraded my ram to 16gb but its still bit slower. you have any suggestion how to fix it?

Hello, I have a MacBook Pro (13-Inch, Mid 2010) with OS X El Capital (Version 10.11.6) and the patcher successfully installed and everything in the video was working out perfectly until it reached the actual Catalina installer where you select the disk to install the macOS. The only disk available is the Mac OS startup disk with 249.2 GB total and 163.11 GB available and it says "This version of macOS 10.15 cannot be installed on this computer." Did you upgrade the SSD and/or RAM beforehand or am I doing something wrong? Help and thanks!!
Saint Fanta it sounds like you ran the Catalina installer directly, it has to be run through the patcher. Did you go through the patcher prompts to get to the install?
@@IansTech Oh okay I understand now, however when I run it through the patcher it shows that it is open in the dock but when I check, it says the application is not responding

So I went back where I left off and got all the to where you got the new background. I got a message the the software was not compatible, I hit continue and a screen with 2 patches . Fingers crossed 🤞 So says it’s the new update but computer still run really slow
When I get to the installation stage on my Mac Mini 2010 it says SIP Enabled. SIP must be disabled in order for the in-place installation to function correctly.

Once you have disabled it you basically need to start the process again for the installation. I know it’s a pain but it will work now with that disabled.

Hi im having a really hard time to update my macbook to os catalina.. I owned os yosimite the 1st method of installation is grey out i am not able to click install on machine please help
Go to DOSDUDE's website: dosdude1.com Read EVERYTHING on this page before you download the patch or try using it: dosdude1.com/catalina/ DOSDUDE himself suggests not using the direct install, instead create an install disk - you just need a USB thumb drive, 16gb is more than enough. You could also be experiencing a number of issues with your specific Mac, READ EVERYTHING ON THAT PAGE.
Thank you! Very clear and helpful. Question - do you enable SIP when done? I thought dosdude indicated you don't. If you don't does it make you more vulnerable to being hacked? We're preparing computers for donation or sale. Thanks.

jell It was ok, a bit slow, but unfortunately some software I use wasn’t working correctly. It looks like the patch caused a conflict. I need the software so I had to drop back to high Sierra.
My Macbook 5,5 Mid 2009 with 4gb of Ram and 128GB of SSD and immediately noticed improvements and first its snappier somehow than my high sierra and its effecient for your battery the only drawback is some apps didnt work and it heats up quite quickly when plugged in
Thanks, it worked for my MacBook Pro 2010 version. You saved me money. What do you do with the patcher, should you keep it for future updates or delete it?
Thanks alot for your effort, But after completing the installation I tried to enable the CSRUTIL and after doing restart and hold the CMND+R the screen freezes!! how to solve that?
Thanks for making and sharing this helpful video. I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2010. I used to use Final Cut Pro and it was working fine but now it’s very slow even though I don’t use any heavy software on it. I actually haven’t used it for some time now. Could you suggest me a software or tool to check the issues please? I also would like to upgrade it, so could you suggest me what part I can upgrade and what maximum capacity I should get for those parts? Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro5.5 has been completely installed on 10.15.7 using macOS Catalina Patcher. I want to install Windows 10 now. Windows 10 was installed by booting the assistant through Boot Camp. But the Boot Camp driver cannot be installed. This driver only supports Windows 7. It was found on the Apple official website that MacBook Pro5.5 only has drivers for Windows 7 systems. How to solve this problem?
hi thanks so much for this video. I am just a little concerned because my Mac loads but then it gets stuck right around the middle of the loading process
Hi can you help me? I have an MacBook Pro 5.x and I tried to install the patcher via the USB boot Catalina. However, everything goes well, until I have selected the SSD and the installation should start. There will always be a message saying "An error occurred while preparing to install. Try running the program again." I have already corrected the date with the terminal (so I have to set the date of the site so Germany or another), have repeatedly created the USB stick with the patcher and formatted the SSD as APFS. What am I doing wrong? I ask for your help! Thank you very much and best regards from Germany
Ok sounds like you have gotten the time issue fixed, have you tried redownloading the Catalina installer? Could be something wrong with the file itself. Let me know :)
@@IansTech Hi, thanks for your help. There was a bug in the patcher since yesterday. Of course, I got in there right there. Installation has worked now. The downloaded .dmg deleted, the patcher restarted, and a new .dmg downloaded (previously about 7 GB now over 8 GB). Thank you for your support!
I have a Mid 2010 iMac 27 inch and it has a AMD/ATi 5000 series card. Will it work. And if the graphic acceleration does not work is it a big issue/problem?
I'm sure you've moved way past this project, but I picked up a Pro2010 here recently and it is giving me Error while installing to disk. And tells me to try again later I've tried mutile versions of the patcher and nothing seems to work.
I got stuck on 6:47 I can’t choose disk. It says “this version of macOS 10.15.5 cannot be installed on this computer” meanwhile mine is 2011, and yours 2010🥺😩😭
When mine restarted, it brought me to the Install Catalina screen and told me the same thing. That's because it's the actual file from the App Store. So it won't work. You have to go back to the .dmg file you downloaded for Catalina Patcher and run it again, installing to the machine. Then it will upload the patched OS and allow you to download it. I think since I had the official Apple Install window still open, it still wouldn't install - it said it wasn't able to complete the task or something. So I closed that window and ran the .dmg file again, and it worked the second time. Mine is currently installing Catalina so we'll see how it goes
Hi there, what if you don’t receive “install to this machine” as an installation method. I am only able to select the other two options. “Install to this machine” is visible but I’m not able to select it.
I have 2009 I’m doing right now but it stuck on OS UTILITIES I cannot choose utilities to disable SIP when i try to click on utilities not letting me help please

unfortunately i faild the same message still comes out
Same error here. Is this solved already?
Tried a lot of times to install this, thanks to your tutorial I finally fixt it.
I could kiss you right now. Your video just saved my ass. I got a new job to start in a couple of hours and my mac kept restarting and I felt so fucked but this video has saved me. Thank you so much.
Hi Ian! I followed all your steps and I’m on an identical machine but when it downloaded it does not come up to reboot it?
will this wipe my drive ? ive seen some say it will
Hello, maybe i ask an stupid quesion ! But i ask ! We really need to save all files before do this ?! Because, when highsierra was comin, when i went from mountain lion to high sierra i did not need to save my data ! Here we need for Catalina ?
Omar Benkebouche is you are upgrading, back up your files. I would not take the chance.
Ians Tech yes i have a many ssd external for save my files ! So ! Let’go ! Thanks for this video !! 🙏🏼👌🏽
Out of all the patchers available, which one works best on the MacBook Pro mid 2010?
Hi im having a really hard time to update my macbook to os catalina.. I owned os yosimite the 1st method of installation is grey out i am not able to click install on machine please help
Did you disable SIP? That could be why it is greyed out
@@IansTech I tried that but command did not work. Any solution?
Go to DOSDUDE's website:
dosdude1.com
Read EVERYTHING on this page before you download the patch or try using it:
dosdude1.com/catalina/
DOSDUDE himself suggests not using the direct install, instead create an install disk - you just need a USB thumb drive, 16gb is more than enough. You could also be experiencing a number of issues with your specific Mac, READ EVERYTHING ON THAT PAGE.
Thanks for the video. One question - how long does it take to compete the installation (particularly from 7.05 of your video)?
Thank you! Very clear and helpful. Question - do you enable SIP when done? I thought dosdude indicated you don't. If you don't does it make you more vulnerable to being hacked? We're preparing computers for donation or sale. Thanks.

Your input please...other than get a newer Macbook Pro :-))
i did this to 2011 macbook pro. followed exact, but when i restart, it doesnt boot up in catalina, it goes to macOS utilities
If it does not exit even after a reboot you might need to go to disk utility and eject the install drive and then reboot again
Thanks “Ian’s tech” just installed it on my early 2011 pro. Your walkthrough guide made it so easy!
Dave Wardle does it still work fine?
jell It was ok, a bit slow, but unfortunately some software I use wasn’t working correctly. It looks like the patch caused a conflict. I need the software so I had to drop back to high Sierra.
Dave Wardle what ram and hard drive type you have?
Is it fast?
You’re a gem. Thanks so much for posting this. It worked like a charm.
My computer says: The version macOS10.15.7 cannot be installed on this computer. It is the same build as you have in the video. What am I doing wrong?
My Macbook 5,5 Mid 2009 with 4gb of Ram and 128GB of SSD and immediately noticed improvements and first its snappier somehow than my high sierra and its effecient for your battery the only drawback is some apps didnt work and it heats up quite quickly when plugged in
Sir. How again enable sip .. coz its not going to recovery mode
Thanks, it worked for my MacBook Pro 2010 version. You saved me money. What do you do with the patcher, should you keep it for future updates or delete it?
I’d keep it because if you run into a driver issue you can redo the drivers.
Thanks alot for your effort, But after completing the installation I tried to enable the CSRUTIL and after doing restart and hold the CMND+R the screen freezes!! how to solve that?
This is great, thanks a lot I followed the process u had on the video and now my MacBook Pro mid 2010 is running on Catalina
Sir can u tell me which os before
I cant instal..error launching installer
I got to end about to install and I’t say this version can’t be installed on this computer... help?!?
Kas On CAM is you look on dosdudes patcher, your mac night not be supported
Thanks for making and sharing this helpful video. I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2010. I used to use Final Cut Pro and it was working fine but now it’s very slow even though I don’t use any heavy software on it. I actually haven’t used it for some time now.
Could you suggest me a software or tool to check the issues please?
I also would like to upgrade it, so could you suggest me what part I can upgrade and what maximum capacity I should get for those parts? Thanks in advance.
on my MPB mid 2010 i can not run the MPBmid2010 gpu fix? is there any other way to stop the kernal panics
Have you upgraded already on catalina patcher?
YES!!! The panics are caused by a bad capacitor (C9560). Well documented. See ua-cam.com/video/DzcgT_fiVTA/v-deo.html
Is my Mac safe without sip ? Should I enable it again ?
Yes you should be able to. It’s only to get the patcher to install
@@IansTech so now after the install everything runs perfectly i can enable sip again ?
How well does it run? I find High Sierra to be sluggish after opening a couple windows. I have SSD and 4 gb ram
Runs pretty good. I can test more though. What kind of apps are you using that slow it down?
It’s run great for me although I have 16gb of ram and a raid setup for my ssd’s
Hi! thanks for the video. I keep getting Error: Could not locate the correct entry in the CatalogURL. Cannot continue when downloading the OS, can you help please. thanks
Omg, Thank you so much! It worked. Super easy with your instructions. And believe me, I’ve tried others...
I updated my MacBookPro (late 2008) to Catalina with his patch. Everything is fine so far...
Awesome! 👏
Does it slow down ur Mac ?
@@djdhhjjfjffj7742 If you have an SSD installed it is fast.
Geo Man I install Catalina patcher on a MacBook Pro 2011 and man does it seem laggy when I drag a window across the screen to move it

Hi, will this work on mac pro 5,1 (mid 2012)? will it delete all my data? need to use this for music, thanks!
It should work just fine.. if you are upgrading please back up your data first
mid 2012 will run catalina without a patcher, just download from the app store
I am curious if 2010 macbook with this upgrade will slow down the laptop?
After following instructions the program cannot be installed on my computer for what reason I don’t know it says cannot be installed Catalina 10.1 5.7 cannot be installed not sure if I am doing anything wrong but I followed your step-by-step process and it cannot be installed
Great Video Solution. I have a question.. If I need to put the Catalina on a NEW SDD , I have to install first the HighSierra and then make your installation guide....twice installation ?
I believe so. Unless you were to clone the original drive to the new one instead
hi i just bought my 2010 macbook of of face book i logged in with no problem but i didnt let me download apps do you think by updating it like this will change that
MacBook Pro5.5 has been completely installed on 10.15.7 using macOS Catalina Patcher. I want to install Windows 10 now. Windows 10 was installed by booting the assistant through Boot Camp. But the Boot Camp driver cannot be installed. This driver only supports Windows 7. It was found on the Apple official website that MacBook Pro5.5 only has drivers for Windows 7 systems. How to solve this problem?
hi thanks so much for this video. I am just a little concerned because my Mac loads but then it gets stuck right around the middle of the loading process
I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010 and I tried to update, I have follow your steps but it had been stop in the apple logo, what can I do?
Did you disable SIP?
@@IansTech yes but I have resolved the issue, i just had wait for a while and all run fine thx!
@@ricardogonzalezmondragon998 me too stuck on apple logo, did you reboot your mac?
I finished the setup until 6:29 but before i installed the actual os it says error and try to go back patching it , what should i do next?
I owned a macbook pro late 2011 running macos high sierra
I am having a hardtime updating my device to Catalina , i did disable the sip
Hi can you help me? I have an MacBook Pro 5.x and I tried to install the patcher via the USB boot Catalina. However, everything goes well, until I have selected the SSD and the installation should start. There will always be a message saying "An error occurred while preparing to install. Try running the program again." I have already corrected the date with the terminal (so I have to set the date of the site so Germany or another), have repeatedly created the USB stick with the patcher and formatted the SSD as APFS. What am I doing wrong? I ask for your help! Thank you very much and best regards from Germany
Ok sounds like you have gotten the time issue fixed, have you tried redownloading the Catalina installer? Could be something wrong with the file itself. Let me know :)
Delete the existing one in application folder before downloading again
@@IansTech Hi, thanks for your help. There was a bug in the patcher since yesterday. Of course, I got in there right there. Installation has worked now. The downloaded .dmg deleted, the patcher restarted, and a new .dmg downloaded (previously about 7 GB now over 8 GB). Thank you for your support!
Avii Official I’m glad it’s working now! :)
I have a Mid 2010 iMac 27 inch and it has a AMD/ATi 5000 series card. Will it work. And if the graphic acceleration does not work is it a big issue/problem?
Zain Sultan I believe it should, unsure on the graphics, but would use integrated graphics I would guess.
Ok Thanks!
Also can you turn off the SIP before the whole process so you don't have to restart the install?
Hi i try the catalina patch on my macbook 2011 ithe install was ok now i had no wifi and no sounds now how to fix it please help
Can you use Ethernet direct connection? Might need to check for additional patches to correct those problems
thanks for the video, but will i lose all my files and data thats on my mac when i perform this operation??
If you do an upgrade, you won’t. Please back up your computer though no matter what!
I'm sure you've moved way past this project, but I picked up a Pro2010 here recently and it is giving me Error while installing to disk. And tells me to try again later I've tried mutile versions of the patcher and nothing seems to work.
What if i install catalina on create bootable installer??🥺🥺
What if it said it didn’t support the file ? And won’t let me continue after the download
I got stuck on 6:47 I can’t choose disk. It says “this version of macOS 10.15.5 cannot be installed on this computer” meanwhile mine is 2011, and yours 2010🥺😩😭
When mine restarted, it brought me to the Install Catalina screen and told me the same thing. That's because it's the actual file from the App Store. So it won't work. You have to go back to the .dmg file you downloaded for Catalina Patcher and run it again, installing to the machine. Then it will upload the patched OS and allow you to download it. I think since I had the official Apple Install window still open, it still wouldn't install - it said it wasn't able to complete the task or something. So I closed that window and ran the .dmg file again, and it worked the second time. Mine is currently installing Catalina so we'll see how it goes
My MacBook 2010 pro stuck on 90 percent, what to do ? Please guide 🙏🏻
Hi there, what if you don’t receive “install to this machine” as an installation method. I am only able to select the other two options. “Install to this machine” is visible but I’m not able to select it.
Thank You!!!! Got my 2009 MacBook Pro feeling brand new 😎
I'm installing it right now but somehow takes hours. Did you feel the same experience?
I have 2009 I’m doing right now but it stuck on OS UTILITIES I cannot choose utilities to disable SIP when i try to click on utilities not letting me help please
The part where I need to write csrutil disable does not work because it says command not found. Please any suggestions?
"-bash:csrutil: command not found" says still. Any other solution? It does not work
after installing catalina can i delete the installer program
yes you can delete it if no longer using it.
