MACOS BIG SUR FEATURES MAC
Now it’s a rushed release cycle to match iOS and iPadOS development only meant to entice more into macOS and increase mac App Store revenue while producing lackluster and much buggier releases.
MACOS BIG SUR FEATURES UPDATE
We had to wipe down our drives every two weeks when a new beta was released to ensure third party apps and plugins weren’t causing problems with debugging the core OS and it allowed developers to better update their apps. OS X 10.4 - 10.6 when Bertrand Serlet was the head of engineering were by far the best OS’s Apple released.
MACOS BIG SUR FEATURES FREE
This decision and the others above and more have made Big Sur a Big Mess.Īpple should return to 2 year OS release cycles as they did before making OS X a free annual release. If I delete both iCloud and local contacts I can also open up Contacts then click on “Time Machine” and restore it as before.
If I delete a contact by mistake or I lose my iCloud contacts I can restore the local one on my Mac simply by dragging it to the iCloud group. I had to select each contact and link it to the other as two of each will show as doubles. Now you’ll have iCloud and local contacts. Meaning restoring individual emails, contacts, etc from Time Machine backups won’t work anymore. Mac/MobileMe/iCloud and Time Machine together for years yet Apple claims iCloud syncing and local Time Machine backups of iCloud services won’t be working moving forward. Apple only allows recovering lost items in their core apps by fully restoring an entire Mail or Contacts backup point which defeats a big advantage to “Time Machine” and you lose any current data.ĭuring Big Sur development I filed bug reports on “Time Machine” and none of them were addressed. I spent weeks reading forums and working with Apple engineers and it seems this is a feature, not a bug. When I updated to Catalina I noticed I could not open Mail and Contacts and retrieve lost items. I may roll back my Mac Pro’s to Mojave as it seems Apple has even dropped “Time Machine” features that have been around since day one such as retrieving individually deleted emails and contacts. Add in further extending security measures that make access to root difficult for third-party apps such as TotalSpaces (a great utility I’ve used since Apple ditched ”Spaces” but requires root access - normally I always disable SIP and GateKeeper yet I take other precautions and average consumers should not do so unless they are aware of the risks, etc), Catalina and Big Sur are just headaches. I know Apple wants more unification between the operating systems of their devices yet this is a desktop OS and iOS/iPadOS UI elements just don’t work for me.
No matter how much I adjusted the contrast and brightness of my displays it always looked washed out and more difficult to navigate. Being a developer I needed to run Big Sur on my MacBook Pro. Catalina was the first time I never updated my Mac Pro’s. In roughly 20 years using Mac’s I’ve always updated to the latest OS.
