Big Sur - Working / Not Working Apps

[vince22]

Can’t get Firefox working from a fresh install. Stuck on this.

fresh installed Firefox newest (ver.78.0) working fine.

Outlook 365 in both Dark and Light mode some text and form emails as well as UPS notifications not readable. You can copy and past the text to a textpad but cannot highlight and view. I have reported to both MS and Apple Dev.

So for me everything below works:

• Office 365 (Powerpoint with limitations, see below)
• Microsoft Edge
• Spotify
• Hyperdock
• Alt-Tab
• Dozer
• OneDrive
• Alfred 4
• Tiles
• Spectacle
• Agenda
• Next meeting
• Itsycal

I have two problems as of now which are not a deal-breaker, but pretty annoying

1. In Powerpoint, I cannot switch to a slide by clicking on it. I need to go to the slide overview and open the slide from there
2. In some apps, the focus is changed to another app (I do not know which one) every few seconds, so that you need to click e.g. into the text box again to keep typing.

Luminar 4 was working for me until I had to export a project, and it crashed. Was never able to open it back up again after that.

Can somebody please try JDownloader 2?

It works well.

Bah. Redownload the new version. Same issue.

Geany (nice little smart text editor with IDE for many languages including C/C++, Fortran, LaTeX & Markdown, as well as Markdown Preview plugin) doesn't work.
Opens, crashes, generates error report.

Eclipse IDE does install and work with gfortran, after following the instructions here (scroll down to the bottom to the note about Mountain Lion or later

Edited to add -- Sorry, Markdown Preview doesn't appear in the Mac version of Geany. I was getting confused with the Linux version

This is the one thing that is holding me back from giving it a go. I moved from VMWare Fusion to Parallels earlier this year and can't even consider Big Sur until it can run Parallels.

Can’t resize or create new main SSD partitions due to previously unseen and undeletable snapshots. So no BootCamp unless you already had a partition. Normal workarounds for deleting TimeMachine local snapshots + disabling external backup is futile.

tmutil listlocalsnapshots /                
Snapshots for volume group containing disk /:

com.apple.os.update-MSUPrepareUpdate

Apparently can’t be thinned, can’t be deleted.

IntelliJ IDEA was work well after just upgraded to Big Sur, but crashed after a few days. I did nothing but a time system restart. The lucky thing is I don't really need to use it right now.

I run Parallels, and it works fine. A little remapping of a few keys, and I was good to go. My existing Win10 VM runs of my Bootcamp and via Parallels.

Steam Games can't be downloaded since Steam doesn't recognize macOS Big Sur as "macOS" thus it doesn't show any of your apps at all.

edit:Works on beta update

Anyone else having trouble importing photos from their iPhone into the Photos app? I have two phones, one on the latest 10.13 and the other running the 10.14 beta - Photos won't import from either.

Yeah, because they’ve stupidly hardcoded the 10.x part of the version check. Ugh.

Quicken works fine
Guarda (crypto wallet) works fine.

Added to the list.

Little Snitch 5.0 preview (6104) works perfect for me (registration for Beta Test required)

 

[valdikor]

Has anyone tried if the long-discontinued but still my favorite archive manager Entropy still works?

Dropbox

Finally, the new 'Beta Build 101.3.422' works for me.

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that my DB wasn't syncing, until a file on another machine wasn't getting the one I edited on my Mac. Now installed as above and working fine again. Cheers.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that Zotero wasn't working, but it doesn't seem to have been added to the first post. Can anyone confirm the latest Zotero beta (5.0.89-beta.3+419953f47) doesn't work?

Working fine but no sound. If you try to play youtube video, it is muted

Mostly the same for me. The video has some jitter too.

Anyone have issues with iLok?
