![]() Anyone who was affected by this should contact Apple support for help. ![]() ![]() Apple said in a statement to Rene Ritchie that it has fixed a firmware bug with the T2 chip and the updated firmware is now included with existing macOS updates. In the meantime, if you rely on a USB hub, it’s worth delaying your upgrade.Īnother issue that has plagued a small number of users is Macs with T2 chips being bricked after updating to Monterey. Reportedly, Apple is aware of the problem, so the next update to Monterey will likely include a fix. Symptoms vary somewhat, with some hubs failing entirely while others have trouble only with certain ports. ![]() However, on the bad side of the equation, reports have been coming in of USB hubs having trouble under Monterey. I’ve been running Monterey on my M1-based MacBook Air for months now, and I’m planning to move my 2020 27-inch iMac to Monterey as soon as I have a free weekend afternoon to fuss with it. Plus, as Howard Oakley notes, Apple seems to be focusing its bug fix and security attention on Monterey over Big Sur and Catalina.Īll that would suggest that you could contemplate an upgrade sooner rather than later. There are also smaller improvements that may be welcome, such as an improved interface in the Finder when copying large files and AppleScript being reportedly much faster in Monterey. In contrast, Monterey offers quite a few compelling features-including Shortcuts, Live Text, AirPlay reception, live location updating in Find My, Universal Control (soon), and FaceTime screen sharing (soon)-without the kind of foundational changes that caused consternation in previous macOS versions. macOS 11 Big Sur: Redesigned much of the interface, moved to a signed System volume, added support for Apple silicon, and moved Time Machine drives to APFS.macOS 10.15 Catalina: Stopped supporting 32-bit apps and introduced a read-only System volume.macOS 10.14 Mojave: Automatically converted boot hard drives and Fusion drives to APFS.A quick look back at the significant changes unavoidable in previous versions of macOS: On the good side, early impressions suggest that Monterey is overall more of a refinement release rather than a major architectural leap on Apple’s part. When it comes to upgrading to macOS 12 Monterey, we’re unsurprisingly seeing both good and bad experiences. #1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD.#1660: OS updates for sports and security, Drobo in bankruptcy, why TidBITS doesn't cover rumors.#1661: Mimestream app for Gmail, auto-post WordPress headlines to Twitter and Mastodon, My Photo Stream shutting down. ![]() Rescue supported on Macs employing the Apple M1 Chipset?
