Then I would boot into recovery mode, bring up disk utility and run first aid on system/data volumes. Possibly you have a disk map issue or something similar causing disk access to be very slow.
It’s a m2 air with 512gb ssd… even if it is slow, 3 minutes to open a 40kb excel file seems a bit odd to me… my macintosh 128k could handle that faster.. just another piece of Apple brilliant software engineering I guess🤦‍♂️

Thats really weird. I don't use office anymore, for a comparison try opening the excel file in LibreOffice 7.4.3 select the MacOS Apple Silicon installer.

Do reminders and calendar entries now sync with ios? For example, if I snooze a reminder on Ventura, it won't snooze that reminder on my iphobe. Likewise for calendar entries.

I've just come from el capitan where all was well and worked perfectly, but on Ventura not only is the sync issue a pain,but so are many other things a pain
 
anyone having trouble installing on a 16" Intel MBP? It seems to download fine but has problems unpacking it. Tells me to check my internet connection.
 
I must live under a rock: I didn't have any issues with v13.0.1 except maybe a little Safari oddity with opening tabs.

LOL we might be neighbors. I rarely, if ever, run into problems here, all the way back to the Mac OS X beta. Any crashes or kernel panics I've had along the way were all caused by a third party or something I did myself. The OS is the one thing that always seems to keep on ticking no matter what. I did have the 'cant connect with Wi-Fi' issue with Ventura, but that was also the public beta, which is understandable. Even that ended up 'fixing itself' minutes later and started working.

I always figure its just people that think they are above reading and following simple directions or its those folks that cram all kinds of random apps and services trying to make their Mac do everything in their life at once heh. Everything here always goes 'as it should', always trips me out when I see these issues and everyone claiming the OS is total crap when its really just them heh. But then again, I have the same experience with that 'terrible' OS Windows as well. Just works for me, and I'm able to do my job day in and day out.

It happens with office, preview, photoshop, no matter what I open it happens.
If I close the app and I try to open the file it works.
If I open the app and manually go to file-open, it works.
Loading app and files should be very fast, not like has to load from a much slower volume into RAM. Even with 8GB RAM, your swap used should be minimal. The M2 laptop should have 100 GB/s to unified memory so storage used should be fast. Is the laptop encrypted? Is it using cloud storage?
 
2017 MBP 14,3. Booting off an Samsung 980 Pro. Runs great. The system setting lag with scrolling is better but still a little bit. Also dock shortcut icons still don't show icon.
 
No, you’re not living under a rock, you’re the rule not the exception. Forums like MacRumors are always chocked full of reports from users who have no clue what they are talking about. The most common phrase is, “I hope this fixes..." (insert some weird issue no one’s ever heard of) but is promoted as widespread, dangerous, and show stopping.

Meanwhile the vast, vast majority of we ‘normals’ just go about using macOS without any major problems, like yourself, blissfully unaware of the carnage that is claimed to be happening before our eyes.
Well, to point here at another 3 pages of “exceptions”, other apps can get hit by either bugs or changes introduced by OS’s updates:

Disclaimer, the reason why I got hit with that is because I just recently bought a new Mac and it came already with Ventura. 4 times the RAM, 2 times the CPU cores and 3 times the GPU yet 1/10th of the speed of a project that was running fine on a laptop an hour before.

So yes, “I hope this fixes…”, “or Unity please fix this…”, “anybody fix this…” why? Because it wasn’t broken (well it was a bit actually, but a tenth of it).
 
Don't know if it's just me but iCloud settings are extremely laggy under 13.1 thus far
Same here. First this

where I can’t scroll lower, and I have more than one device. Then it turns into this

… and after a little while the asynchronous progress indicator (spinning spokes) goes away, and I am left with this:

Either a bug or a function of everyone (~10⁷ people) trying to encrypt their iCloud data at the same time. After all, everything you do in iCloud settings has pretty complex consequences on Apple’s iCloud servers. I will see, whether this goes away tomorrow and will report back.

for those who have issue with iCloud, it's related to private relay. try to disable it by clicking very fast and multiple times untill it's off. OR:
the private relay issue for me was caused by expressvpn app. If you have it, uninstall it (properly) and reboot. now private relay should work and icloud setting too.
I cannot corroborate that. Turning off Private Relay does not solve the issue.
 
Just updated my Studio over the weekend to Ventura.. wish I didn’t…
Multiple display problems.. sometimes only 1 display works. Lower resolutions.
When changing my main display to the other, screen goes black…
Been thinking I had Wi-Fi issues.. turns out Safari just doesn’t load any site. Had to switch to chrome..

It is encrypted and I use iCloud but the files I am opening are both local or cloud based. No difference.

It is currently working, I didn't reboot or anything. I don't know anymore. I am also tired of having to do troubleshooting every time I open the lid of the MacBook to be honest..
 
What do you mean by bricked? I have the same year - did it not install at all

I started the update and walked away to go out. About four hours later, I went back and checked on it, and the screen was black, keyboard and mouse were unresponsive. I turned off computer, turned it back on, all I get is an apple logo and the progress bat that gets about 50% complete and then gets stuck. I just checked this morning and it is still just sitting there. I tried booting in safe mode and unplugging, and let it sit for a bit. Same results. Hopefully I can boot into recovery mode and reinstall OS.

I'm running it without issues on my M1 24" iMac and 16" M1 Max MBP. Safari issues with memory cache with many tabs and windows opened doesn't freeze up anymore. Using CCC 6.1.4 backups runs without issues. No applications unexpectedly quitting for me comparably. I don't use external displays so can't verify everything.
That’s good to know thanks! I use 4 external displays, partially using displaylink but I’m certain it will work.

One thing that I’m not looking forward to is the sys prefs, but I know I just need to get over it.

Click the release. The release notes are for the selected update, and you don't have one selected.
That works great for the main release, not so much for the command line tools! :p

Although this release seems to have stopped my kernel panic issues and various other bugs, I'm now finding that the Mail app sometimes just doesn't open at all. Immediately becomes non-responsive and has to be force quit, then the report comes up. Hard to decipher what's really causing it, but it'll either open up after many minutes (5+?) or after a reboot.
 
Just upgraded from 13.0.1. Everything works EXCEPT the Weather widget is no longer listed as an option and the one I had is just an empty white tile. The Weather app works just fine, mind you. Anyone else lose your option to add a Weather widget?
