    Hello. I have a Macbook Air M1 that I bought used (99% battery health, 130 cycles). It has Mac OS Big Sur 11.6.2 installed. Is it normal that when I look at something in Safari (for example, a news site, and there are always no more than 3 tabs open) and every 5-7 minutes it takes 1%? The...

    Would a system be faster on a virtual machine or on a Thuderbolt external drive?

    I'm running Mojave on an iMac 2017. For some apps with no update available for Mojave I need to have Big Sur installed. Would VMWare be faster running Big Sur (if it is possible to install it there) or a thunderbolt external SSD disk with Big Sur?

    Is the Quadro K610M too slow for Big Sur?

    Hello Community, I own a 21.5 inch iMac from 2011 with 2.7 GHz quad core processor i5 from Intel and last month I removed the old AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics card and replaced it with the Quadro K610M. I chose the K610M because I'm not very handy and would have to mill something up for another...

    Install previous Big Sur version

    Hi, is there a way to install a previous release of Big Sur, e.g. 11.2? Just for info, I would like to do it because of the display brightness issue in older MacBooks (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/can-no-longer-adjust-brightness-after-update.2315102/). It looks like the issue was...

    Restoring from TimeMachine after downgrade?

    Hi, I have a pure image of BigSur and TimeMachine backup made on Monterey. As far as I understand the only way for me to downgrade from Monterey to BigSur is to reinstall the OS from my BigSur installation (I don't have TimeMachine backup from BigSur) downloaded from AppStore which will lead to...

    Why did Big Sur erase my disk?

    I upgraded an external APFS boot volume from Mojave to Big Sur. There were two accounts and a lot of apps. On the first boot, they were all gone and replaced as if I had told the computer to pre-erase the volume, but of course, I did no such thing. Is it supposed to happen this way? What could...

    Has iCloud Drive improved in Monterey (compared to Big Sur?)

    I'm currently on Big Sur and find myself regularly fighting with the way iCloud Drive syncs its contents: If I add a big file on a different Mac, it gets downloaded everywhere automatically (which is intended), but during this process, it's impossible to tell Finder to stop downloading the file...

    Problem with Music app loading

    I have a M1 MBP running Big Sur 11.6. I have a music library of 31 GB, resident on the local HDD. Thinks have been 'OK' (though I consider iTunes to have been a seriously-flawed program in 2001 which got more flawed with each iteration, and the Music app has maintained that devolution). But I...
