No internet connectivity after installing Mojave

But… I don't have VPN on.

One thing I wondered is that I have a partition on the Mojave disk that contains High Sierra. If Mojave installer needs to reformat the drive I'll back-up and remove the High Sierra partition.

I only use it for testing Systems and I've sort of dropped out of testing aftyer having a lot of building work done here over the last 6 months.

Update: Tried clean install from USB stick with full import of user data/apps from Time Machine backup. No dice! Endless loop of reboots while booting up (all night long). Any clue how to debug this would be appreciated....

I am glad it worked for you but as you say, it took many, many hours. If switching to Mojave involves such a hassle I can see many people not bothering. Me included. Apple really needs to sort this out, find what the problem is and fix it.

Totally agree with you. I thought the upgrade should be smooth thing. However, from this lesson, I will do clean installation next time. It is much cleaner without bring any complicated and possible conflict settings.

I fully understand your reluctance. One thing to note is that if she has a Time Machine back-up, migrating her users and applications, ect, will take all the passwords and other things with it. She should be able to restart and not notce anything has changed. I've just done another iMac here by the same process and so far everything is working normally, including all the twiddly, individualisations that were on it.

I think 10.14.1 solved the networking glitches but it's worth doing a search on the Web as I removed a few files from my Mac after my first attempt to upgrade. Plus there are workarounds to get apps such as Photoshop CS5 up and running.

I have not always had good luck with the migration app moving all settings and passwords for accounts, and setups in Safari like what she has. So I am wary and for a machine that has a few specific things she needs not sure I want to spend the time in doing that LOL

I got the same advice, but since the nearest Apple store is a 100+-mile round trip I decided to revert to High Sierra and wait until Apple fixed the issue. Still amazed that Apple released software that caused major glitches for so many people. Do hope they fix it soon as I like the looks and features of Mojave.

"Do not install Mojave.

RISK > REWARD"

After getting it installed, I disagree with your statement. I think you need to look at your own computer and see what might be the problem. There are many hints on the 'Net about very old configuration files and the like. Check you have updated anything that runs in the background.

> "I am not running little snitch"

i have no idea what that is, not an apple app i can guess.

For me Mojave went seamlessly and took only as long as a normal update that requires restart.

I don't use 3rd party apps (only a few app store apps and games) and have no strange devices - it's all original stock pretty much. Probably why i never run into issues.

Thank you for describing the symptoms correctly. I can't believe everyone's solution is to reinstall the OS... HA! I was a Software QA Engineer and I cannot believe Apple let this release out. That's a Severity 2 defect however as it doesn't result in data loss so I am guessing they knew about it and released it anyway. I don't think the previous release was much better to be honest. WIndows 10 is much more stable, it took Microsoft years to get there but I think they have the better OS now. I hope that Apple will invest enough in engineering to fix this issue.

I second that. I keep saying Apple is jockeying to be the new Microsoft. Literally no one in tech support cares. I’m just going to roll it back. Separately, I just have to get the keyboard fixed on my 2017 MacBook Pro. The Genius team actually positioned the repair as them doing me a favor. I had to remind them of the two class action lawsuits.

I have this problem as well- safari stops working om Mojave 10.14.1 Have to reboot to get it work but stops connecting after a few minutes. Note when Safari stops connecting I can still connect with Firefox (64.0). Google Chrome (Version 71.0.3578.98) does not connect. Go figure!

This ought to be interesting; you cannot connect so it looks like a trip to the Apple store when they have the fix. Why did they even release it?

I don't use little snitch or anything similar

Any word yet? I'm having the same issues!
