    Power Cycling Connected USB devices when Sleep

    Hello, I have a strange issue when my MacBook goes to sleep. My devices that are connected to my hub will "power cycle" continually. What I mean is that the devices act like they are being powered on for about 15 seconds then powered off. I only noticed it because when my DAC turns on...

    update Big Sur (11.1)

    Good morning all, I have an error that is driving me crazy. I installed since its release Big Sur (11.0) then 1 week later I received the announcement of the update of Big Sur (11.1). But here the joy is short lived. There is always an error message telling me that I must have an internet...

    Time Machine in Big Sur - Does it works differently? "Macintosh HD" gone, just "Macintosh HD - Data" showing

    Hello, I did search around a bit, but I have not been able to find an answer. So here it comes: I recently did a fresh intall of Big Sur on a 16" Macbook Pro. Totally worth it in terms of performance. Since it's 2021, I decided to also start fresh in terms of back ups, and I got a new external...

    Messages don't update

    Anyone else have their iMessages load / update really slow? Sometimes I have to close and reopen the app three times and later wait like 5 minutes for current iMessages to load up. It's ridiculous. Has anyone found any workarounds for this? I'm running Big Sur 11.1 on my 2017 MacBook Pro, and...

    2019 16" boot-loop

    This is a weird one. I reset my SMC earlier today and now my macbook can't boot. I can see apple logo, but not the loading bar. It may blink red, show a red line on screen (horizontally) or as most of the time it just simply dies & chimes again. I've tried PRAM/NVRAM reset, SMC reset, etc...

    OSX Big Sur 11.1 reverts size of open/save windows [Annoying!]

    When using the open/save function (opening a window) I resize it to reflect my needs. A sidebar with sufficient width to read my folder names and a larger window at all to be able to navigate through folders. In previous versions of all OSX-versions if I recall it correctly, including Big Sur...
