MacOS Monterey review Reddit

So, my Dropbox, Plex server, and GoodSync apps said they couldn’t find externalhdd 1. Which is weird, because it’s called externalhdd. It’s mounted like that in Finder, but if I go to Disk Utility, while the large display name on the right is externalhdd, the “mount point” is adding a “ 1” to it. All of my externals have this space 1 in the mount point now and that’s how apps see them if you, for instance, use apps like that above for sync folders. But they display correctly in the finder... Wat?

Any suggestions or how to correct?

Is it worth it? I want to upgrade but I'm worried it will brick my Macbook as Big Sur did to my old Macbook. I have the M1 Macbook Air now. I purposely waited a while so the bugs would get sorted out.

Upgraded day one. Zero issues on M1 mini. M1 Studio came with it, and zero issues there as well.

If you back up your data, there is very little to worry about.

I personally have .1 approach to this. When X.1 is released I upgrade and it hasn’t steered me wrong so far. Usually at .1, and for good time after even the previous release is still getting all needed security updates.

level 1

hello! can I ask if you upgraded? I'm also the same as you, currently in Big Sur and waited a while when Monterey came out.

level 2

No, I actually still haven't! I'm probably going to do it soon though

level 2

Hey! Just wanted to let you know I upgraded and it went pretty smoothly. No bugs or crashes!

No. I am one of those who doesn't upgrade (until stable). I'm running a M1 MBA or last BS. I will upgrade once the niggles are gone. And once my critical software and hardware are tested by others.

I was satisfied with Big Sur and upgraded to one of the later betas of Monterey. Switched to the stable release when it came out and haven’t had any problems. All my software continued to work without issues as well.

I am using an M1 Mac Mini.

If you are absolutely satisfied with Big Sur, then why are you wanting to install Monterey? Is there some specific feature you need? Do you feel like you are missing out on something?

No it's the constant notifications and it is a big update in itself is it not.

if you are concerned about security it is generally best to run the most current os version

Yes. Monterey is the most painless upgrade in years. It broke nothing for me.

Yes

12.2 has improvements in memory management on my M1 Mini that is purely by observation from an old s/w tech = less swapping.

As usual there is nothing from Apple about kernel_task process improvement it is no longer one of the biggest memory processors on my system.

No. Don't try to fix what isn't broken. Monterey is not completely stable yet.

level 1

· 9 mo. ago

Not yet. But it will be once they fix the memory issues plaguing both Big Sur and Monterey.

Otherwise there are some nice features if you need them. Before downgrading I remember Monterey could tell me the battery level of my non apple mouse and my non apple headphones.

And universal control is supposed to come with 12.3 which would be really useful for me.

My 2019 21.5 inch iMac is running slow on Big Sur after 18 months. Do you all think the Monterey upgrade help or hurt?

I'm still on Big Sur. No issues.

Is it good to update Mac to Monterey?

macOS Monterey updates improve the stability, performance, or compatibility of your Mac and are recommended for all macOS Monterey users. After installing macOS Monterey, choose System Preferences from the Apple menu , then click Software Update to check for the latest updates.

Will macOS Monterey slow down my Mac?

Why is my Mac slow after Monterey update? Updating your Mac to the latest macOS Ventura build can slow down the performance as the new build is in Beta and has some bugs and other issues. In addition, apps and services are still being optimized for the new OS, so your system might be having performance issues.

Is Monterey worth it macOS?

macOS Monterey: Why you should update now If you want new productivity tools, Monterey has Quick Note, Live Text, and Focus. The new Shortcuts apps is a helpful automation tool. If you have a repetitive task that takes multiple steps, you can use Shortcuts to automate the process and save yourself from going crazy.

Should I update my Mac to Monterey Reddit?

Me personally, I would update because with every update is a security update as well that helps protect you from viruses. Yes. Macs can get viruses but it's not as often as windows. It's best for your computers to be on the latest software update.
