I'm running Monterey and don't plan to update again until I get a new computer, and even then don't plan to upgrade either unless there's an actual killer feature.
Big Sur and Monterey makes all of my intel machens run hot even though they’re in idle mode. I used a device to test power consumption and they all showed an about 50% higher electricity draw from those machines. Apple needs to correct this - especially for the laptops because they also run hot and the battery no longer last so long. I downgraded them all to Catalina and everything is fine again. Clean install Big Sur and Monterey didn’t help.
With M1 and Big Sur,,m the two are designed t work together ... They keep saying this and performance, but that's not really their fault.... The hardware Big Sur runs on is the reason as well ,, or the "ONLY" reason.. lol You'r never gonna match that on intel chips no matter what OS you have.. They just release the hardware (Mac M1) and Big Sur together, then they come back and say "its works faster". ... well. ya..... because it's on the m1.... I really think Apple actually thought with Big sur, some people would think it would run slower on an M1 ... I mean it boggles the mind what direction Apple were going with that saying. In any case If an OS is 'optimised' for use with a new chip, that's all I need to hear... If you haven't got an M1, then that sends a message their'll be bottlenecks only the M1 can perform as good..
I run Monterey on my old 2015 MacBook Air and I'm sad that it will be the last os update I'll get. Now I'm being forced to buy a new MacBook Air M2, that's what I told my wife anyway.
Mac has always been prompting this disc removal error and frozen warning since their 2006 gen of macs. Apple doesn't like us using any peripherals that aren't Apple?
Verify if you have any 32bit application because mojave is the last os that run 32bit app. With an intel machine I would update to Catalina or maximum bigsur, on montery I see a slow down on older macs
As if going from Windows to Mac wasn't difficult enough! Now with Ventura (and its "I wish I was an iPad" psychology) things have gotten even worse! I use both Mac & Windows computers... Sometimes I cant help but wonder what Apple's end game is. Do they want new customers, or continue to isolate themselves? 🤔
I am really confused about getting a macbook. Should I go for new MacBook Air M2 or MacBook Pro 14 inch ???? Will it be good to buy M1 pro now ??? When M2 is out.
Depends on your budget but M1 pro and max are good machines slower single core perf than m2 but they have more cores so they have better multicore performance. M1 pro and max also have promotion and pcie4.0-level speeds. More thunderbolt buses and so on.
I think it boils down with your workflow. M1 Pro is still more powerful than the M2, plus with the M1 pro you get 2x the ssd speed(from a 512gb M2 SsD).
So do I update ? I'm new to MacOS it's almost crazy for me to learn everything from scratch I'm now on MacOS big sur 11.2.3 ... Should I update it to Monterey?
hii, Is it a must to update macbook air? when i bought up the macbook air m1, it was running Apple Silicon. On the time being i have received an update for Ventura...i haven't faced any issues till then. But after when i updated to Sonomo, now i'm facing an issue of extreme heat on my mac...(it is the only problem)
When I installed Monterey in 2022 it rendered my PhotoShop Elements 14 useless because it crashes every time I hit print. I think it’s because the IS is 64 bit? If anyone can shed light on this I’d appreciate it.
I am not a mac user or have any experience of mac can anyone tell me how many years a macbook receive updates for example if any one buying m3 pro then how many years we can expect for updates
@@android-user i tempted to use that honestly to upgrade to ventura, but i can’t find anywhere else about how does the continuity behave, because i have lots of apple device and handoff and such are a killer feature for me
Currently setting up my MacBook Pro 14". Right now I am thinking about holding off on upgrading even though they keep prompting me to upgrade. I have barely spent two hours on the laptop. Not sure the upgrade is needed so quickly.
@@jerryx2000 Actually I am still on Monterey. Getting prompts for Sonoma. Might just stick with Monterey unless I learn something helpful about Sonoma.
So when I first opened my laptop from the store, it was Big Sur. Then, I downloaded MacOs Monterey. I decided to reset factory today as I wanted to downgrade to MacOs Monterey, but when it did reset, it still has MacOS Monterey. Do you know why? Should I even revert back to Big Sur?
If today I buy a macbook M1 pro will it come with Ventura installed? Or wait until September. Or better yet, I'll wait until October where the new M2 pro and M2 Max chips will probably come out?
I have a MacBook pro 2.9 GHz late 2015 model. I had 12.4 and everything is wonderful. Updated my Mac then after it got done. The display was flickering, Or first there was a white transparent line in the display and it look like it got changed for ppl who are color blind. I researched stuff , then it started flickering , then it would go black every 2 seconds. Then i got a white screen , then went back to the 2 second black screen and now it's green with purple stripes. Can anyone help? Im hoping it's because of the update cause u treat this Mac like a baby because it's first one.
Same. I have the exact same MBP. After updating, I got flickering and white screens every now and again. Eventually, now it's completely unusable and has flickering and ghosting and looks scrambled. What a waste, I've had this MBP since new and it was amazing.
yes agree, should always wait before updating and do a time machine backup. i think its well known how buggy the os is on first release. not sure what the issue is with external drives, i just right-click eject from the desktop unless of course yr drive hasn't mounted on the desktop then it can be a pain but even pulling the drive out doesnt result in data loss in my experience. cheers
i have a macbook pro 2020. this will be the last time I will get an apple PC. i miss windows, it was faster, more efficient, stronger and lasted longer with less problems. also the price difference, is crazy. i spent $3k on my mac when it first came out, and I found out that with that same amount of money I could've bought an amazing gaming PC system smfh.
Yes. Last year in Big Sur, my M1 Macbook Pro's battery health dropped every other day by 1%. Until it dropped to 93%. Then an update came. It solved the dropping of battery percentage, but now its just 93% battery health.
I think the cause was software, however the effects were irreversible. I have noticed that even when I unplugged my machine, in the battery health status, it’s still on a charging state, hence maybe that caused the degradation.
If you've not already updated, I have the same MBP and used Patched Sur by Ben Sova. Mr. Macintosh has a guide to the process on his channel. My MBP runs Big Sur just fine.
The problem with the updates is that a lot of installed apps and programs, don't work with a few updates later on, oblige us to buy new ones with different interfaces, spending money that we shouldn't, wasting our time - how I do this now and that and etc etc. It's pure business for spending and spending money all over again.
This video was pretty useless. I've macs I never updated, and yet I never had any issue with bugs, spywaer or data loss. I've ones running at Snow Leopard, no issues My main os is Mojave, only a very few apps are incompatible, majority just works with the most recent version. There are also things like an OS being BF Ugly. Major reason not to upgrade. Ask yourself these 2 questions: A) do I have a offline backup of my precious data? B) do I have what it needs to install software offline on a fresh computer, to access this data? You probably say no to both. Than fix that first before wondering whether to update or not.
@@davidempire4874 Of course! Who wouldn’t want to try the new features? That’s what I look forward to software updates each year from Apple and never try to miss the session! The Universal Control feature is so helpful for many! And I’m so excited for the upcoming software update!
You may want to consider updating the title or tags of this video so that your helpful info on OS bugs can be searched. I started watching it for one reason, but found it very helpful to learn about the OS bugs. Often times when you have these problems, despite exahustive search attempts, you are left to think it's user error. An hour or two of digging later you find that ONE answer that fixes your problem. Even if it's been years sometimes Apple doesn't officially address it or provide the solution and simple fix like that Terminal command that you provided. Thanks Apple! I'm back to Monterey post Ventura upgrade and my fan app has indicated CPU hog issues with legit apps. Aside from the issues that get big enough to hit mainstream media and cause backlash, it's crazy how flawless these annual updates of Mac OS and Apple hardware have been! That was sarcasm. If Apple doesn't slow down the revenue decision making approach and tie up some of these loose ends they are one amazing and easy Linux distro away from a mass exodus. With their proprietary connections, certifications, and more recent loosening of standards on the privacy front I'd be happy to move on. However, my choices are limited unless I want to get next-level involved with my computer's apps, language and hardware.
even public beta can be.... it IS after all, a beta.. still.. public bets are nothing more than just ones available to the public to "test" and tats the key "test" People just love to screw up their production machine by installing a beta,,, coming back, and complain how their printer doesn't work anymore.. Fuelled of course, by marketing... They probably get paid too to that anyway.

I’m with you, except might get M1 Pro 13 inch to keep things controversial hehe
Why are you forced to buy a new Mac when you can’t update? Also there are ways to upgrade older macs to new versions
While I agree, try installing windows 11 on a 2015 intel laptop. Between the two, you made the right call. :)
Planned obsolescence. Install Windows on it and it will run much faster

I updated to monterey when I learned I can run on low energy mode to enable operation not automatically use discrete vga all the time

lol
So do I update ? I'm new to MacOS it's almost crazy for me to learn everything from scratch I'm now on MacOS big sur 11.2.3 ... Should I update it to Monterey?
Yes of course! Why shouldn't you? Mac OS 11.2.3 is ollldd and not secure anymore.
I'm still on Catalina because its right 'for me'
Yes
Just update your big sur version in system preferences. You don’t have to update to a newer version. Just update your current one

Me too. Same question.
With intel mac stay on Catalina or upgrade to big sur max. After big sur I see a slow down on intel
Will it be okay to upgrade to macOS Ventura on Macbook 2019 running on an Intel processor?
I find that it runs better than Ventura and Monterey (running it on a 2012 iMac using opencore so you're definitely fine)

That music in the background drives me nuts.
If I remember correctly, the feature that lets you disconnect external SSD in MS Windows costs performance (read/write speeds). I wouldn't want that.
