Sonoma has by far been the most unstable OS I've had in years. Apps will just constantly freeze when I go up to the menu bar to select on something. Really ridiculous, I hope this update fixes the issue.

How much RAM do you have, and on which Mac? Safari/Sonoma on my M2 MBP with lots of RAM has been totally stable. I have left multiple Safari (currently 17.1) pages with scores of a wide variety of tabs open for weeks w/o a hiccup under 96 GB RAM. Activity monitor shows my overall use (includes multiple other apps, and images work) typically accessing ~50 GB RAM.

We have all along expected RAM demands to increase over time. <as always>

Edit: Always in the past I rebooted every day or two for stability, just out of principle. With the M2, Sonoma and 96 GB RAM I have evolved into rebooting maybe once a month, just out of principle. Sonoma has been a very solid OS in my experience, and I have experienced every Mac OS - - except the ones I skipped.

Open apps: Filemaker, Safari, Mail, Pages, Affinity, Photos. Displayed on three 4K displays plus the MBP display.

I just updated. Safari it still a performance outsider comparing to Brave and to earlier Safari versions (on Ventura and below).

He might have been on a Mac with 4 GB RAM.. i dont think anyone told him 4 GB is not the same as 8 GB. Its only 8 GB thats the same as 16 GB. But 16 GB is only similar to 16 GB. 4 GB is actually the same as 2 GB on PC :/

But if you Da Vinci Resolve with only 128 GB you're gonna run into problems. I recommend 64 GB in that case as its the same as 256 GB, apparently.

What problems were you seeing with exFAT drives? I haven't noticed any issues on my end, but I'd be curious to know what issues people were having.

ExFAT drives don't mount for me when I boot up or reboot, they are not ejected properly by the OS.
I have to wait a long time until they show up.


I updated to sonoma 14.1 (clean install), and it seems that my external hard drive that I always have plugged in takes ages to mount, this only happens when the mac reboots or shut down, I know this is normal behavior when you unplug a hard drive without ejecting correctly, but now is happening every time I boot or restart the Mac.

did not happen on Ventura.

This article is about the macOS Sonoma update but when talking about the security updates you mention iOS vulnerabilities.

Not yet in updates. Please write direct link to combo download?

I hope, they fixed Safari performance. Switched to Brave due this…

Ok! I was wondering about that too. My laptop can't upgrade to Sonoma, but on Ventura, we have been getting updates to Safari. The most notable change was the addition of Profiles. Ever since that update, Safari's performance has been very uneven. Sometimes it runs normal, and sometimes it would just hang on particular webpages. I was thinking it may have something to do with iCloud private relay, which I do use, but maybe that's not it.

Because of these performance issues, I no longer use Safari as my main browser for work, which is sad. I much prefer it for a number of reasons including privacy and that it crosses all my personal devices.

Apparently it isn't all exFAT drives. I just got one usb thumb drive to show up.

But another one, a different brand, won't even show up in Disk Util. And that one works fine in Windows.
