Hi Ronni, Thanks for your response.
1. Never installed the MS Power BI app or used the system. The “mobile BI experience” doesn’t even register on my exciting app scale. 2. Sometimes things are painfully obvious and I still need to ask wamug advice! The Install option infers an update to the existing macos which is 10.13.6 (High Sierra). I could find no documentation as to what the “update” involved. I assumed it was to 10.14 (Mojave) which I do not want. You seem to disagree. Perhaps the update would be a minor patch for iTunes vers 12.8.0.150. Have you any details of this? By the way, Mojave is not offered as an app update. I have a late 2012 iMac 27 inch 1TB Fusion drive. I read somewhere that my model iMac with 3TB drives are not compatible at this time. Perhaps it is all fusion drive models - - issues with the new Apple file system??? Cheers Alan > On 30 Sep 2018, at 1:37 pm, Ronda Brown <ro...@mac.com> wrote: > > Hello Alan, > > 1.
