Hey everybody after many years resisting, today I wanted to give in and update from OS X mojave to big spur. However even though I would instal on the same disk as Mojave is on, it says not formatted to APFS How is that possible that the one operating system is working for years and now a new...

Hi All, BACKSTORY: I have a classic problem which I have been reading about on here for hours but cannot work out if I have found the easiest solution or not? I have a MacPro 5.1 with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders addition that I want to take past 10.13.6 (Spec below). The main use of...

Ik probeer mijn Mac Pro 3,1 bij te werken van Yosemite naar Big Sur met behulp van opencore legacy patcher 0.5. Het moment waarop ik de optietoets ingedrukt moet houden tijdens het opnieuw opstarten. Om het EFI-opstartitem te kiezen, krijg ik het volgende bericht: LNX: ontbrekende...

Hi. I've installed Big Sur 11.6.5 on my 2012 5,1 cup using OCLP. It works like a charm except that it won't let me change permissions on my main drive. When I run the "crs util status" command in terminal, this is what I get Apple Internal: disabled Kext Signing: disabled Filesystem...

I'm running Catalina, but considering upgrading to Big Sur or Monterey. As of Big Sur, I know /Applications is mounted as read-only. That’s problematic for me because I keep folders of app-specific documentation and serial numbers in /Applications. Once I upgrade MacOS, I won’t be able to...

I have a 2010 i7 MacBook Pro 6.2 (A1286) that has been running Catalina with no issues via Dosdude patch. This is our kitchen computer, used primarily for checking emails, web browsing, watching recipe videos, and the occasional Amazon purchase. I also use it to control a headless MacMini...

I had to reset my computer and things got messed up. It is much slower and also the wallpapers options now longer show up under 'Desktop & Screensavers.' When i try to add a folder with wallpapers it doesn't show up. I thought maybe it is a 'permissions' problem but i just found out that it...

So I bought a Late 2013 MacBook Pro 15" dual graphics a few years back with no SSD. I think got an adapter and used my own NVME SSD. Since I updated to Big Sur, the firmware had not been updated. Still have the old bong and the old-style boot menu. System report says "System Firmware Version...

MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 128GB SSD 8GB RAM My stock MBA2017 is still on macOS Catalina and as we all know Monterey will be the last macOS that will work on it. So would love to see feedbacks from forummers here whether it's better to upgrade or i should just...

Hi all, I upgraded Mojave to Big Sur yesterday. (2018 Mac Mini) On first launch, Mail displayed the usual "updating database" message. No error messages, but: all Mails for all accounts are now gone. I have a full backup (Carbon Copy Cloner), so I'm not breaking a sweat (yet). I tried...

Install Big Sur with patch Mouse moves slowly, deep lags. I reset NVRAM and SMC and reinstall Catalina... Mouse moves slowly, deep lags. From internet recovery install Lion.. Mouse moves slowly...CPU load over 100% In all osX install mouse lags and performance low. Fan usage and CPU 100% But...

Just picked up a 27" 2019 iMac (i9/580X). What's the best OS if the criteria are just performance (e.g., minimal interface lag) and stability: 11.6 (Big Sur), or 12.4 (Monterey)? I don't care about the feature differences between the two, and my apps will run fine on both. Monterey is...

The question is in the subject line essentially. How has everyone’s experience been with Monterey on their 13” 2019 MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar? I’m currently running Big Sur and it’s decently stable but feels lacking compared to Mojave. How does Monterey hold up in your opinion? Will...

We are having consistent problems with Macs / Time Machine not backing up to Synology NAS devices. So, local data has to be backed up manually which means getting some, very likely missing some and not getting any settings. My 2020 13" MacBook Pro is suffering from the 'reboot with every sleep'...

I cannot connect to my MacMini M1 (11.6.2) with SSH from a tablet in the same network. The connection with an old MacPro (10.12) however works perfectly.

I'm still running Catalina because I don't want to mess anything up on my machine. I'm not an experienced programmer and I would hate to have directories misplaced and then have to troubleshoot because I probably wouldn't know what to do on my own. However, here are some new features that I...

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...

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?

Hello everyone, I noticed that there are no dynamic wallpapers from Mojave on Big Sur, if anyone has a mac running Mojave, can you attach the original .heic file? thank you very much
