Never had a problem adding or removing contacts with Big Sur on M1 Mini or any of the betas thus far.
I can add contacts on M1 MBA without any problem..
In a parallel universe where Apple still plan to use Intel processors in their future computers?
Just an opinion but if memory serves, High Sierra was one of the lowest periods of Apple's software QA. There were several major bugs if I recall. One of them was if you left empty field for administrator password it would pass as valid. I might be wrong but didn't they even say they'll look into their QA process back then?
Anyway, High Sierra was the only release that upon upgrade (from Sierra) bricked my Mac and I had to reinstall OS.
Public beta now available 👍
Couldn't agree more. Can't count the number of times I've had a novice user (especially an elderly one) just flip out in disgust when I tell them there is a hidden toolbar on a webpage or an email that only reveals itself when hovering the mouse over the (not even consistently placed) hidden area. A truly user-hostile UI element...
You've got to be kidding. MS refuses to admit that CardDAV even exists.
So will there finally be a reason to bother with Big Sur when 11.3 is released? There certainly haven't been any so far.
Thanks for the responses! Trying to figure this one out. Command N for new card > type in first name (all is good so far) > type in last name and bang - new card completely disappears either before finishing typing or when moving to next field. Her machine is a new M1 Air. No third-party apps, etc. Frustrating.
Can somebody explain to my why Apple is still bundling OS updates and software updates? Every other company stopped doing that years ago... Wouldn't it be nicer to get stuff like Apple Music updated through App Store, so bugs can be fixed quickly, and serious OS changes don't get lost among "added a new way to order buttons in Safari"? They are clearly able to push Safari Developer Preview updates separately. Not to mention updates are massive in size and take insanely long to finish, it's genuinely shocking to me.
Because there are so many other companies distributing operating systems...
Microsoft has moved to shipping software updates separately, software is separate by definition in any linux distribution, Google started shipping system app updates separately from Android updates a few years ago. Need more examples?
I have been experiencing certain issues lately. The main thing is that my phone will sometimes just freeze in the settings app. I have restarted my phone but it still happens on occasions. It might be because we haven't had an update for ages now.
Now that you mention it, yes it has happened once with me.
Just a question. What is that?
More issues. Maybe try unplugging and plugging your HomePod back in. That helps with my HomePod mini.
Thank you for the rating.
I have had this issue with my iMac 2019 for 7 months. Everything will disconnect for like a minute then reconnect out of nowhere. It's so weird. I have even taken my Mac apart but it still has the issues. I'm going to give it a couple of more days to rest before I ask Apple about it.
You have to go ask AMD about that. But I wouldn't expect them for another couple of months.
If they reply.
Yeah, Apple obviously lied about the M1 MacBook Pro 20 hour battery life. It only lasts like 7 hours. But my Late-2013 MacBook Pro lasts about an hour before dying.
the Macrumors equivalent of train-spotting.
the Support and Service tabs in 'About this Mac' are different from the one shown in the article - not sure whether this is location specific or M1 specific but for my M1 Mini I get the following:
You know I reported a notes bug all my notes just say additional text. Present in Beta 5 and 6. Curious if it will be fixed in 7.
I thought this was interesting. What could be a reason that Rosetta 2 would not be allowed in a particular region? I'm guessing some kind of Intellectual Property (IP) law that maybe involves Intel (x86 IP owner) and/or AMD (AMD64 owner).
I have a issue with Mac mail app on 11.3 beta 6. Everytime I send a mail it creates a "Recovered message" box on my Mac. I have tried to re-build the boxes on my account but it doesn't fixed problem. I ended up to go back to Outlook.
Can anyone confirm if this issue have Been fixed in beta 7?
