Does anyone know if the hardware diagnostic test has changed in MacOS Big Sur? When I restart my machine and hold the "D" key, it appears to send it into recovery mode.

Like many of you, I was extremely excited about the release of Big Sur. And like all of you, I didn’t manage to get it installed till many hours after release. Here’s what got me worried though. After upgrading, I wanted to try out the auto-switching of AirPods feature. Didn’t work. Then I...

I'm having a video stutter issue in Big Sur on my early 2015 Macbook Pro. Happens in Safari mostly, but also in Chrome. Basically, the audio plays, but the picture stutters. In Safari, it happens with videos embedded in Twitter. Also in videos at YouTube.com. Also in movies on Netflix. In...

Admittedly only an issue on smaller screens but the massive vertical space taken by the Safari Toolbar on Big Sur is a waste of precious screen space. Together with the favourites bar, plus any tabs, I am loosing over an inch of vertical space out of the 8" or so of viewing height: Anyone...

Hi, I've got a Macbook Pro 2019 16'' and I use Google Meet with Safari on a daily basis. With Big Sur 11.0.1 (the final release distributed to users), only on Google Meet and only on Safari speakers intermittently crackle, but if I use Google Meet on Google Chrome I don't get any problem. Do you...

My original plan was to wait until 2023 before I upgrade from my early 2015 MBP 13 inch. The fact is, I just can't wait that long for the type of Mac I wanted. Is it is a need or want? More of a want, since the current Mac I have works just fine. There is some excitement for this new...

How do you guys like it? I haven't downloaded the update yet, I wanted to see people's first reactions but so far (hours later) it seems it's only issues downloading still. Has anyone that downloaded successfully -- what's your first thoughts!?

Any one know what time it will be released in the UK tomorrow?

My one big barrier to running Big Sur full time on my cMP 5,1 has been removed. Airfoil Audio Hijack Loopback SoundSource are all functional. Fission and Farrago had been working all along. Piezo now also works. Time to celebrate!

I installed Big Sur when the public beta came out, no funny business, all official, and the installation went without a hitch (MacBook Pro, 2017) However, often when waking from sleep I will get the flashing ? folder showing the startup disk is "missing". It's not every time, may 25%. To get it...

I don't like write a big wall of text for telling a history but this is my experience going from Catalina to Big Sur and back to Mojave. I'm a developer and I have to test my software from macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) to the newest macOS available (Big Sur), my machine is a 6 core 2,6 GHz...

I'm worried because I think these logs are very suspicious. I've searched around the internet about the log and the contents, and I've found nothing. Can you guys help? I'm scared I'm being hacked! BTW, I found this is /private/var/logs Tue Oct 20 16:44:39 2020 [61] <err> (0x70000a78b000)...

I am hooked via a PCIe USB 3 card and some USB 3 hubs to a Logitech Brion and also some Altec Lansing speakers. Worked great on all previous systems but the late Betas of Big Sur have created a big stutter - useless. Has anybody seen this? Any idea for fixes? The Bio needs USB 3 for its full HD...

I had not used my install for a few days (I mainly run Catalina.) Suddenly some of my apps updates show up as corrupted. When I download again I see the same story. When I copy them from my Catalina Applications, it asks for App Store authentication over and over. Any ideas?

Hi Folks, snce installing Big Sur Public Beta, the battery life on both my MBP's (2020 16" & Late 2013 15") has been dreadful, obviously because it has been overheating like crazy, fans constantly on, regardless of what I was doing. I initially thought this was just a general issue and waited...

Hello. So I just bought a new mbp (2020) and installed big sur beta right away. During my set up, I ticked the optimized charging option as I barely remove my macbook from charging. 2 months after, I checked my battery health it’s down to 95%. I never noticed what happened to the optimization...

does anyone else have an issue with SD cards not mounting in macOS 11... I have tried terminal in mounting the card, with no luck... Paul

I am scratching my head about Apple's sloppy approach of the Big Sur volume appearance on Catalina. It would not have taken much to make the system appear seamless for multi boot. But it also appears to be inconsistent. I installed by adding a Big Sur volume to a container already containing one...

After installing Big Sur, the functionality of using the function key short cuts to adjust screen brightness, change volume, show desktop, play pause media, etc is gone. Before updating from Catalina, I was able to press F11 and F12 on my external keyboard to increase and decrease volume for...

I am generally very satisfied about Big Sur. The problems I am experiencing are all with Microsoft Office: Search boxes not working when the app is in full screen MS Team in full screen mode, when trying to share the screen, requests permissions for screen recording which are already granted...
