macOS Big Sur (11.0) - Bugs and bug fixes

[t0xicgrief]

Works fine thanks, I did see it but thought it was the same as system-wide AdGuard from AdGuard.com.

some websites that use Adblock detector are not working though

please enable adblock warning removal list, if still detects, please report at https://reports.adguard.com/en/new_issue.html so we can fix
adg for safari 1.8.0 should be faster since electron was updated, and dark mode was also added

I don't see the Adblock warning removal list toggle but it seems but one of the website that was detecting Adguard is now working I will report those who don't

I using Adguard Version 1.7.4 or the toggle is available in beta 1.8?

Anybody having any issues with Thunderbolt monitors not being detected? My 21 inch lg/apple partnership one works fine, but my LG Ultrafine 32ul950-w's just stopped getting detected one day during Beta 2. Tried a clean install and an update to 4 today but still no luck.

Edit: Nope. I was dumb. Either I have a bad cable or they're using a different thunderbolt/usb-c cable from computer output than they are monitor output to second monitor input (thunderbolt daisy-chaining). All working again now. Still don't know what happened when it just stopped working a few betas ago, but 🤷‍♂️

Might have been posted but the option to show battery percentage next to icon on status bar is gone for me

received 2 kernel panics in 1 day...was afraid of hardware issues, before read that other have similar issues.

It’s in System Preferences - Dock and Menu Bar - Battery, and the option should be there

Installed public beta today, anyone else finding boot up being slower than Catalina?

Also scrolling in safari is a tad choppy.

Funny enough I have the opposite experience. Boot time is shorter for me than Catalina however power-on takes longer for some weird reason.
By Power On I mean when the Mac is turned off and then I start it, it takes a while until the sound plays and the logo shows and the boot sequence starts.

I have the same experience as kissmo, power on takes a little longer, but the actual boot from the chime is quicker.

Safari is better in Beta 4 than it was in Catalina and previous betas for me

Thanks! Not sure why I didn't think to look there.. was previously just looking under battery on the main system pref page

Suddenly with Beta 4, the Notes app crashes every time. Have restarted, same outcome. Anyone experience this or, better yet, have a solution or workaround?

When a Calendar event notification comes in, the snooze options which allowed one to pick the snooze duration have gone.

There are no options, only "snooze" (which does a 10 minute snooze; the repeat notification doesn't work properly either).

I had to delete AVG as there was a constant notice flashing on and then off again within a microsecond. Tried Avira and Sophos but they both bring up warnings that they "are not open". So no av installed at present

Has anyone else noticed that Finder always list the Documents folder first in your home folder. For example, I have a Developer folder and the Documents folder is listed before the Desktop and Developer folder in Finder and in the Open and Save dialog boxes. Was this documented anywhere?

Beta 4 working fine apart from Sharing issue.
I can connect to other Macs on my local network but they can’t connect to Big Sur machine. It is seen in Network but when I try to connect it fails to connect. Comes up with username/password window but does not accept correct entries.
Seeing problem with attempts to connect from Catalina and High Sierra systems. Both of these connected without a problem before the upgrade to 11.
Using command line I can ssh both ways without a problem.
Anyone else seen this?

I finally got Big Sur to install (4th time's a charm) & tonight decided to back things up...it seemed to take forever for my 2017 MBP 15 to load and recognize the backup disk. It's finally backing up & looks normal.

Everything else seems to be working as expected...I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Has anyone found a solution where iCloud tabs shows duplicate devices? Every time I open a new session with Safari it creates a new device for the tabs so I end up with 10 different versions of the same device. I'm not sure if this is an iOS or iCloud or macOS issue though since it also happens on my phone.

had the same issue, although I'm not on beta anymore. You are not alone. i clean installed all the os ios and mac os. so its a bug.

Thanks for that one: I was getting fed up with that constant flashing which also kept blocking my keyboard.

I just hope that I don't get whopped by a virus now.

 

[DavidQPR]

Problem is now every time I get rid of Sophos it reinstalls within half an hour. Cant get into the program to see if I can stop autoupdate or whatever is causing it as it just says it is not open

 

[DavidQPR]

Nearly every time when I open the lid to bring the MBP out of sleep it doesn't respond. The only way to get it to life is to hold down the power and reboot

I tried after Beta 4 update to remove a disk that Time Machine was using. I push the button to remove but nothing happens. Then when I cancel, the window pops up asking if I want to stop using that disk. Again, nothing happens. Anyone else?

typical beta responses... it happens - lots of things happening on the boot sequence.

 

[Olvrick]

Beta 4 is most unstable for me, frequent kernel panic, also bluetooth issue (suddenly moves balance to right channel).
Mostly annoyed by kernel panics...
Beta 3 was better.
