Big Sur is another hot mess OS since Apple gave up on MacOS a couple of years ago
It's for older MacBooks, too.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.
That works fine for me 🤷🏻♂️It hasn't fixed the lack of new mail sounds and alerts in Mail.app ☹️
Wow. Mine took 10 min. But it’s fully specc’d. 64 GB RAM probably helps. Still much longer than usual.Took over an hour on my 2019 16" MBP. Crazy...
Well, good for you! 😼That works fine for me 🤷🏻♂️
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.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:

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 HMDInot 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.
Responses like that are insulting and a total waste of everybody's time and bandwidth.That works fine for me 🤷🏻♂️
I've run First Aid in Recovery Mode, which does the same if not better.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.
Oh wow, reading your post I am not sure I want to update then.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 :-(
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.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
Exactly my question; it shows up in my iMac too. However, Apple says that this update "has no published CVE entries".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
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 conveniencePost 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.
