Apple Releases macOS Big Sur 11.1 With AirPods Max Support and Mac App Store Privacy Labels

For crying out loud…

I hit update on both IOS and MacOS. IOS completed download first (obviously), but then spent a long time "preparing" the update.

Then MacOS completed downloading 3.73 GB and started to "prepare" the same way.

Meanwhile, IOS was done "preparing", and so I hit install. BIG mistake, because then MacOS said the "download failed" since there was no internet connection.

Why do I need the internet connection AFTER the download is complete, and why can't it keep the frigging files cached, since MacOS just loves caching everything?

Redownloading 3.73 GB then… over 4G. Apple is the new Microsoft, the king of stupid software.

As someone who has used Windows since 3.11 --- Apple has got a *long* way to go before it takes the crown on that, but I definitely see your point. Big Sur's release was horrific. 😂

Four reboots, now it says there's 8 minutes remaining. All be patient. This is different.
 
I was 439 GB space. After the last download I went down to 433 GB. Now thats its downloading again I am at 429 GB. Again where is the last failed download cache file located?

It's pretty obvious. I said it was the full installer for Big Sur 11.1. So what do you think is going to happen? The full installer goes into your application folder. Nothing to be scared of - unless you are scared of Big Sur!

actually it wasn't obvious since I'm not dumb enough to install something that does not advertise itself. So I never completed the install and why I asked. Fortunately someone replied before you (helpful and without the attitude) to let us know what to expect.

It is a 11GB download but says it will take 36MB on the computer.

Don't understand this. The full installer should be much bigger than 36MB.

Anyway, here is what I got in my Applications folder:

As you can see it is much bigger than 36MB.
 
Installed on M1 mini.

What's fixed:
- Menu bar sound icon for headphones is now a proper volume up/down/mute icon.

What's still broken:
- RGB TV still detected as YcrCb, even when forced into EDID override.
- Video playback on multi monitor still very choppy unless the mouse is moved(?). Occurs in all apps.

What broke during the update:
- Weather widget location reset.

Maybe after it finishes the update you will get the space back...could be a system error since the first update didn't completely finish?

Is mail search broken even worse for anyone else after this update? Prior to the update it would only find partial results, now doing a mail search it does not even try to search, nothing happens when you type in the search box

EDIT: Restarting a few times seems to have resolved, the search seems improved from original Big Sur (when it works)

My iPad is taking forever preparing an update too.

That’s because since iOS 14 a bigger part of the update is installed in the background, so the restart time is shorter meaning your iPad is quicker back online. Same with MacOS Big Sur. The preparing time was about 15-20 minutes but the actual reboot time was way shorter than during the pre-big Sur era! Meaning that I could work longer on my iMac and also could resume my work quicker. Win win situation!

Login time bug still exists, that is the time displayed on the logo screen on boot up is not localised, even reported during the beta, but likely not a priority.
