Apple Seeds Release Candidate Version of Upcoming macOS Big Sur 11.1 Update to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[Benz63amg]

It'll probably be Monday when iOS 14.3 releases to support Fitness+. Apple almost never does Friday updates.

That’s great, This update is surely one to look forward to for all Big Sur users including myself as it’s the first release after the main public release of Big Sur that will surely iron out a lot of the initial bugs and issues that were discovered since it’s public release a month ago

Did they solve the issue of bricking when you formatted your system to install it from scratch?

I think that was solved in beta 2

“Resolved: Using either macOS Recovery or a bootable installer to reinstall macOS Big Sur 11.1 beta on Macs with Apple silicon”

I hope brick fix for Macbook Pro late 2013... still waiting for upgrade...

Build 20C69. I really wish MR would provide this info like it used to, if I remember correctly.

Possibly they never installed it? Only reporting the fact.

Do you mean the text selection bug when pressing Shift and using keyboard arrows to select text in the textbox in Messages.app? If so, I hope so too! That is one annoying bug.

Yep. I've worked around it, but I'm reminded every time how often I use that key combo.

They like to just cut and paste content nowadays.

I hope they fix what Big Sur did to safari.
Bookmark menu takes a while to load all the bookmark icons, very annoying. Also, I'm having pages just freeze which never happened before

 

[Wonder Warthog]

I can’t wait for the day I can disconnect my eGPU without a kernel panic...

Still having Touch ID issues. After booting the first time the Mac locks Touch ID works, after that it fails.

Seems it is fixed in 11.1, yes: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...sage-with-dual-monitors.2268751/post-29339676

When do we think 11.1 is releasing? Same as iOS 14.3 or a different schedule?

 

[vetoes]

Is anyone still having iCloud tab sync troubles in Safari? Mine list the pages I had open two days ago. Can't get it to update. Any solves out there?

It is known issue.

The AirPods Max require 11.1 and there will certainly be security updates common to iOS and macOS so it's extremely likely we'll see 11.1 on Monday when 14.3 comes out.

Ah if they require 11.1 then yes, we are getting this by 15th.

Any word from testers if this is safe to upgrade to on pro workflows? I don’t want a Catalina experience.

I guess it probably depends on which apps you use.

 

[srbNYC]

My Contacts app keeps changing its default account. I fix it, and a little while later, it's changed back. (It seems to want to change to my default Calendar account (Office 365 from work), but I keep my contacts in iCloud (home account).

 

[ColdnFrosty]

Hmm ... just downloaded an "11.1 Update" following the install of "11.1 RC"

 

[newtestleper]

Any word on this? I'm still on 11.0.1 and would like to upgrade to the 11.1 RC.

 

[Babygotfont]

I see cook has let the coding monkeys loose at the corporate spaceship again

 

[Apples Apples Everywhere]

I guess maybe this was clear before, but this 11.1 version scheme tells me next fall we’ll receive macOS 12.

What do you mean? you mean that the final build of 11.1 was just pushed to public beta testers on the public beta profile? That means we're certainly getting Final build on Monday as public release id assume

Apple today seeded the release candidate version of an upcoming macOS Big Sur 11.1 update to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming one week after the release of the second beta and a month after the launch of macOS Big Sur 11.0.1, the release version of the software.

Developers can download the macOS Big Sur 11.1 beta using the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences after installing the proper profile from the Apple Developer Center.

There's no word yet on what's included in macOS Big Sur 11.1, but it likely includes performance improvements, security updates, and fixes for bugs that weren't able to be addressed in the release version of macOS Big Sur. It also likely includes new features for the AirPods Max headphones launching next week.

No major new feature changes were discovered in the first two betas, but we'll update this article should something new be found in the release candidate. The software should see a launch on December 14 to add support for the AirPods Max.

Why is it such a big deal?

 

[Jeffrey Sanfilippo]

Why is it such a big deal?

Well now that I think about it. It already got screwed up seeing as 10.4 their move to intel should have been 11 and big sur should have been 12

Having problems with high cpu usage on my late 2018 MBA after upgrading from Mojave. Safarinetworking at around 100% some of the time, windowserver around 50% tons of the time, and using the trackpad on the MBA. Battery life down from 3 days of mail/web usage to barely 1 day. Toying with the idea of erasing and re-installing from scratch, but hoping 11.1 may magically fix this before I go down that road. I skipped Catalina as I read quite a bit of bad reports about it.
