M1 issues: post them all here!

Still broken:

Palm rejection
Memory leak
Touch ID wake from long sleep
Fragmentation, Big Sur doesn't work with Blender GPU while Monterey breaks OpenCL
Lacking native software

This morning I had an issue with an Automator Folder workflow failing, causing everything else to crash. I've got a few workflows setup to pull photos added to specific folders in Finder over to a folder in the Photos app. I've also got a screen capture folder set to pull into the Photos app. This morning I couldn't wake my Laptop, just stuck on the screensaver. Had to hard reboot, but then after logging back in again I found that quite literally none of the apps I was trying to open would respond at all, and would eventually crash. I found that 'FolderActionsDispatcher' was eating up over 300% of my CPU somehow. Force quitting that would just cause it to open back up again, and then the action would fail. Rinse & repeat. I ended up having to reinstall macOS 12.2 over itself. Seems to be ok so far since.

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.

I have no any luck running x86-64 windows applications on M1 via WINE or it's derivates. Parallels is overpriced. Only UTM gave a little hope. I don't bother to experiment anymore. I chose another junk(tm) windows pc as the solution.

I wish I could reliably see the Date/Time in the menu bar without turning off Transparency settings.

It's been like this thru all of macOS 12, and I'm still struggling how something like this could make it thru QA testing.

Is your memory leak issue reproducible? I have not read about elsewhere other than a couple of posts in Macrumors (possibly yours!).

I've had crashes reporting 'com.apple.WebKit.WebContent quit unexpectedly' today a few times.

No issues w/Monterey for anyone regarding odd behavior with:

The App Store and its integration with Family Sharing?

Or issues with Trackpad & Magic Mouse 2 & wired mouse (NDR005 & NDR006 self-diagnostics codes)?

Monterey (12.2) bugs - Family Sharing; Trackpad.

I looked for a Monterey 12.2 bugs thread but could not find one, please let me know if there is one and I'll append to it. Have been chasing down two issues over the past 2 weeks. Wondered if others have experienced either? Refurbished M1 MacBook Air 16GB 2TB, purchased in early Dec 2021 1)...

Lacking silicone apps? Do see the wiki post of change/silicone apps: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/universal-and-native-apple-silicon-apps.2267176/

Plus remember you can get Mac M1 software from Macupdate.com as well as App Store!

An veird issue founded... can't play a cd VSCDG1788.
it opens like audio cd, but it contains a video. The disk utility shows video partition as unmounted.
If I try mount it, i get an error:

I confess I haven't read every post in the 35 pages, so apologies if anyone else has reported this issue, but my M1 Mac won't play video for more than a few minutes after a restart - in any browser or app - and the music app now won't play at all. I get a lot of lag and beachballs, but I think that's because I need more RAM for my usage.

Something which has happened a couple of times on my M1 Mac (but not my Intel one - both running same OS version) is that if i change the appearance (dark mode to light mode, even just the highlight colour) then the Dock will stop working and needs relaunching. Not a biggie but an interesting little bug somewhere.

The only issue I have with my Mac Studio M1 Max is every time I turn my computer off the mouse won't work. Keyboard works fine and the mouse starts working when I log in then turn the mouse off back on. Not really that big of an issue but it gets a little irksome and thankfully I don't turn my computer off all that much. 🤣

That's really strange. A "lot of lag and beachballs" could also be indication of something wrong either with your software or even the hardware. I would have the Mac checked.

 

[Violet_Antelope]

Thank you, I really appreciate that - I never know what should be 'normal' really given that I have no engineering/computer background knowledge. I know my RAM pressure is always in orange or red, so I figured it was that causing lag, but the other issues presumably have another cause - I just don't know enough to figure it out!

That because your using only PC software that has not been updated in last 3 years for at least universal or pure silicon ONLY!

M1 mac mini (monterey) don't support iPhone Xs max (iOS15.5) over bluetooth. Only cable works.

is it supposed to be correct result?

Waking the macbook air in clamshell mode takes far loger than it should

I have had excellent luck running some critical x86 programs in Crossover, but it took about 6 months after the M1s were released for things to stabilize. It's actually much faster than running the same programs inside a VMware virtual machine on an Intel Mac.

Are you running a Studio Display? My Studio Display needs to have power cycled once in a while to clear up a similar video/audio lag issue. Many others have the issue so I assume a fix will come one day in a future software or firmware update.

No, no external display at all. Very strange. I do hope you get a fix soon!

When the beachballs started appearing on my 2020 M1 Air, I ran Onyx's file system structure check, and it found errors that Disk Utility could not repair. (Onyx was easier than checking every volume with Disk Utility).
I had to erase my SSD and reinstall Monterey.

 

[Violet_Antelope]

Thank you, I'll look into that

I updated Mac OS Monterey 12.5.1 yesterday...
I think they fixed the flickering issues I've been experiencing on my BenQ monitor connected to Mac Mini M1 since 2020.

Usually the flickering occurs if there's black,grey or something.. I can't explain well... and also when I open netflix on a Safari, with Overlay preview (when I click one of the shows and it will popup the preview,details, etc..) the monitor will flicker a lot.

Anyone can confirm on this those who have flickering issues on their monitors when connecting with an M1 macs?

EDIT: Nevermind.... still flickers...

Ventura seems little unstable on my m1 MacBook pro. Remote Desktop crashes during a team call a couple times a day. try updating Remote Desktop and teams.
