Hoping this fixes the bug which shows phone numbers and not contact info when a new iMessage comes in on my iMac and MacBook Pro, and iMessage sync issues across all devices.
I finally upgraded my 2020 Intel MacBook Pro to Bug Sur last night and what a freaking disaster it is.
Only positive is that it seems to run smoother. Other than that it’s been one device after another that doesn’t work and requires voodoo to get drivers working. Fark this, that’s why I don’t have a PC!
very tempted to roll back to Catalina and stay there.

I just hope it fixes the persistently tiny file open dialogs
Ok reply to myself… according to this thread this bug has been fixed. JOY! https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-of-open-save-windows-annoying.2275465/page-4
No, it means what the text says. It's completely straightforward.
What I find amusing is that everyone seems to be taking Apple removing a plist file as meaning the code is actually gone from the OS. What are you all basing that on? They got caught. You don't think they'll hide the anti-filter better next time?
I thought that was an issue with the color profile easily corrected on settings/display/color. I had a wrong profile selected and it looked weird, but fixed it in about 3 seconds. Also some people were complaining about color tones which was true tone on and set to warmest setting which looked awful.
Maybe you are talking about something else, but I’d look into that to fix your problem
I might go to big sur once they fix everything. The external display issues mean I won't be updating.
Seeing that that is not a universal problem. I wonder what is unique about your situation that triggers that. Is it all locations or just one?
I’d tell you to report it as a bug so the files are sent to Apple, but that would not work with no internet.
That is a color profile mismatch I believe. Settings/display/color. I’ve seen people fix it by selecting a different profile.
The GM, or how you call it "final version", was the "release" version. Which is not the same thing as a "release candidate", because a release candidate is, you might be able to guess, just a candidate. It has nothing to do with flexibility or the possibility to update quicker, as even now at some point they have to declare one of their candidates the release version and then publicly release it. It's the same as it has always been, except that they might no longer distribute that version again (as GM) before releasing it.

how long do you think this will be in RC phase before RC2 or the public final release?
just updated my base M1 air, we'll see how bluetooth goes
its pretty wild CPU usage hasn't even spiked, first update on M1 machine from shipping version of 11.0.1

What gets me is so many of you are a pack of whinges about the software big Sur but you don’t use the beta and log any problems then come on this forum and Winge about it if you don’t Like the software go to PC and enjoy windows see how many bugs they have get a life.
BT issues have all gone on my Mac mini M1 with this update. keep and eye out but it should be all good from here
I get your point I truly do and you are right that many people do that however the tone might have been a bit much
keep logging bugs guys!
beautiful, looking forward to good results
only had this machine for 3 weeks but still, tired of the constant mouse disconnects it gets old
I have had this machine since Monday and it would happen every now and then but I knew this update would be coming so it didn't bother me so much. I had a glitch sometimes with my display but that seems to be fixed too.
This better fix Bluetooth. The fact that every couple days it just stops working is unacceptable And super annoying. Good thing I have a five dollar mouse handy.
