M1 issues: post them all here!

[Aquaporin]

Anyone else having issues with MagSafe3 on the 14inch? Mine stopped working and now blinks red. Thankfully I can still charge over USB C.

M1 is new, sure, but not sure what you mean by “lot of unsupported cpu”, but they’re literally making the hardware their software runs on. So

As for the apps, I don’t use Virtualbox but Parallels has been great for me on my M1 MBP. I’ve been using various HomeBrew apps, too, and have had no issues. In fact, I’ve got a ton of apps installed, mostly native apps, but even the apps running via Rosetta have been great. I mean, if you need Windows via BootCamp, sure.. go with Intel.

Parallers don't work, because cpu is M1, intel required! i have win7ultimate retail cd. and it not work.

Well, yes. If you needed to run Win7 you should have bought the Intel version of your device, not the M2 version. Maybe you can return it and get one. I’m running many various VM’s on my M1 MBP running all the way back to Win2000, including WinXP, Win7, and Win10. But, yeah. Sounds like you might be better off just getting an Intel Mac instead.

Can't do that. 14 days is over. Now I can wait when mac DAWs evolve as far as Cakewalk Sonar x3 Producer is / was.

How?
Win10 I can understand - there is an ARM release
How are you running WinXP for example?

Whenever I disconnected my dual 4K displays my laptop display changes to 3:2.. Anyone know how to fix this?

Why is midi supported partially in macworld? midifile performance is impossible.. midi out channels are ignored and I can't get external midisynts working. if something works, plays wrongly. Virtualsynths (like coolsoft) not exists. I got compiled fluidsynth, but it is unsupported in daw's too.

I’m using an app called UTM

Thanks. it works But it as time related problems, error 80072f8f.

The .iso I have for WinXP is pretty recent, relatively speaking, so maybe I just haven’t come across this. Does Windows Update even work at all anymore for anything Win7 or earlier?

 

[olavsu1]

This error occurs when activating the OS, as if the clock is incorrect.

Thanks for the eye opener. I have been too focussed on the big guys aka Parallels and VMware.

Win XP x86 VM up and running (from CDROM I have). No sure how useable it will be - quite slow - but it IS being emulated.

My wife's M1 wifi keeps disconnecting especially when doing zoom calls.
It just randomly disconnects WIFI, and sometimes the WIFI shows that still connected, but got no IP address.
I also use M1 and it doesn't happen to me.

Is anyone having issues with USB hubs, specifically powered hubs? I've got an Anker 7-port that I quite frequently have to unplug and plug in the power to the hub, upon waking up the Mac. Otherwise, anything plugged into it won't work. Kind of a PITA, for sure. I'm fully up to date on OS.

unitek y-3090 and no one problem.

Maybe I'll just try a different brand. Perhaps it's singular to this unit too, don't know.

 

[Stellarspace]

What about the flickering problem that hasn't been resolved in macOS 12.1 (21C52)?

Someone warned me, the hub's chipset is important. Not all hubs work properly.

That’s interesting. I’ll have to see if I can track that down.

My biggest issue is Final Cut Pro performance since either the new Final Cut Pro or Monterrey it's taking hours to export a video, now.

Just video about a new USB 4 Dock from Sonnet:

 

[polaris20]

to follow up about the USB hub issue; I ended up getting the Satechi USB-C base station style hub, and have had no problems at all. So it must be the Anker's chipset.

So I’m curious to see what issues will be popping up with M1 Macs once more users start using them. Please post it here!

Here is what I just stumbled upon:

No real issues yet! Coming from PC, I was excited to learn about something called Parallels, to use to run a few games. However, I'm having very mediocre performance. Anyone have luck installing Steam via Crossover instead? I kept getting stuck on one step during the process.

Forgett all x86, ia64, amd64 soft. These don't work on apple m1 based hardware. They can run only on intel based mac.

Only in UTM you can run not ARM opsystems.

On the M1, Rosetta 2 runs x86-64 based Mac software. Parallels can run Windows 11 Arm version which has a x86-32/64 to Aarch64 translator so it can run x86 windows software. So no, not only in UTM.

Edit: There is also crossover which is based on WINE which runs some x86 windows software via Rosetta 2.
