Just updated on my Mac Mini M1 and my previously working wired Apple keyboard is unresponsive, the only way I can get it working is by plugging it in the Thunderbolt Display. I understand this was an issue on previous builds, but it’s come back?
 
Updated showed up this morning in India.
2.1GB update for me (from 11.2) and took about 15 mins to download and install.

I wonder what changes they made that would prevent the hub bricking issue but I sure hope its a full & final fix.

On a side note, for the folks stating that the charging profiles would have been crippled to stop 20V input - That is very likely not correct as the default charger itself does support 20V/1.5A PD profile.

I also tested charging with a couple of external PD adapters (Ikea Askstorm 30W, Lenovo 65W and a RAVPOWER 45W battery power bank - each one showed charging rates of over 20W) so there does not appear to be any sort of PD crippling with the update.

One issue that I was hoping for to be solved was the weird colour tint on external monitor If woken from display sleep (i.e. resume within display going blank and computer going to sleep) - but that issue still remains

So, is this only being made available for 2019 and 2020 MacBooks? What about older MacBooks? And are there any other bug fixes in this release?

As usual, it'll probably be several hours before this shows up in System Preferences despite refreshing. Just want to know whether I need to check for this at all, or not.
It's for older MacBooks, too.
 
That works fine for me 🤷🏻‍♂️
Well, good for you! 😼

It's been a problem for me and many others for a long time.

See here and my previous posts on that thread:

Just from the nature of the problem it sounds like a permission issue. I would boot the Mac into verbose terminal mode and use fsck on it. Maybe it helps.

It’s kind of a lot of updates lately, and seems strange that in order to disable non-wanted docks, you have to downlad and go through an installation of a 3GB file...
 
not really. USB-C/TB4 does not read SD cards. All HDMI cables are same on both ends, you have to get out of your way to find HDMI<-->USBC cable (unless future tvs have USB-C input for tv signal). Ethernet ports don't work via USB-C, still need dongle. AUX too.
I literally found multiple examples of USBC to HDMI and converters in 5 seconds on Amazon. Plus I have owned an inexpensive £20 USBC hub for over two year with SD Card reader and and multiple other ports including HMDI
 
Good thing apple plans to backtrack on the ports front. Usb A and HDMI will be here for a while.

Responses like that are insulting and a total waste of everybody's time and bandwidth.

All day long I see posts here reporting issues that I don't experience.

Unless you have a suggestion for a fix that works I'd advise you to go back to playing video games, or whatever else you use your Mac for... heck, I don't even know if you use a Mac!

My list is not getting smaller even with 11.2.2.

Shutdown/Reboot Kernel Panic issues are still there, hundreds CVMServer and cloudd crashes in the logs. External Display Support still broken. Bluetooth issues also not fixed.

As if Apple only builds devices and software for the stock price. But not to actually use them for work.

I've run First Aid in Recovery Mode, which does the same if not better.

I've booted in Safe Mode numerous times.

I've reset NVRAM and SMC numerous times.

I've reinstalled once from the installer from Apple Store and another time in Recovery Mode.

Nothing helps.

If you read the links I provided I believe you'll arrive at the same conclusion as I have, ie: it's a problem that Apple needs to deal with.

Have a nice day! 🤔
 
Updated my Mac Book Pro (Intel, 13', 2020 model) to 11.2.2 overnight and have now lost all USB A connectivity to the hub in my HP U28 4k monitor including, MIDI (to Arturia KeyLab 88 mike), webcam (Logitech Brio 4k) and ethernet (via Anker USB A to ethernet adapter). Everything was working like a dream until the update... arrrrrg! Apple support not answering, with several dropped calls once in the queue... I am not a happy bunny this morning :-(

Oh wow, reading your post I am not sure I want to update then.

I have a NI Komplete Kontrol S49 MK1 here myself and use my AUKLEY 10-port USB hub for everything. Then I have the Satechi dock for my other sample drives too.

Perhaps I shall wait then!

Thanks
 
UPDATE: on a call with Apple UK... resetting SMC (Intel) didn't help, moving devices from the monitor hub to a USB C adapter (directly connected to a different USB C port on the Mac Book) resolved all issues. The solution to the problem was to plug the USB C data/power cable into a different USB C port on the Mac Book. Job done, problem solved for me :) Curiously, once the problem resolved itself (by moving the USB C power/data cable to a different USB C slot on the Mac Book), I could revert to the original USB C slot and everything worked again like a dream...
 
If 11.2.2 is only to do with hub compatibility on some Macs, why is it insisting on being installed on my iMac? There must be more to it than that

Honestly can't face a slow 3 gig download then 20 minutes of updating for one tiny change, it's absolutely crazy... and imagine how much power this is wasting?

Most likely Apple is keeping the same code on all computers running Big Sur. You think their OS management is lacking now? Imagine if beyond the intel/M1 code, there was an intel iMac, intel MacBook Air, intel MacBook Pro and the same for M1 code. It’d be a worse nightmare than it already is.

Exactly my question; it shows up in my iMac too. However, Apple says that this update "has no published CVE entries".
 
Post circa 1998: “Give us back the floppy drive and SCSI ports so that we don’t need hubs and dongles in the first place.”

USB-A and Thunderbolt 2 are ports of the past. The USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 connector can do literally everything that the old ports did, but with an industry standard connection.

Not too mention there are other uses for hubs (eg. docking stations) which wouldn’t be “solved” by adding in legacy ports.
I have machines with both C and A ports. The old ports are much more useful and convenient (to the extent that I now leave my USB-C dock unplugged and just use the charge cable). I have many things that need A cables anyway, so if I need them they just go into the dock rather than directly into the machine - that makes two things to plug in rather than just one! I even have a C security device that I never plug in directly (because I need to keep a port clear for the dock and it is a pain to unplug and replug!), so is effectively useless. Compared with MagSafe, the C charging is especially inconvenient (it might be OK if there were more ports, or there was a non-C alternative, but charging via an external dock really doesn't work well - puts too much physical load on the port - within one month, I am already seeing charge cable disconnects which makes me worry about the durability of this machine). Luckily, it looks as if Apple has realised its mistake and will provide more and different types of port in the next generation. This is nothing to do with technology generation - it is purely to do with usefulness and convenience
