Hi I’d like to ask about heating problem. I have 2020 MacBook Pro 16” (best configuration) and I cannot work outside house because of the heat. It is always about 50 degrees Celsius even when on Safari plus Word plus Mail. Is this problem finally resolved now?

I already installed the macos BigSur, it’s awesome.

What about the battery? Its draining very fast. I use the 2019 Macbook Air. Hope Apple would make an update for that.

How do you make it look like Mac OS? (not iOS)

[iUmarFarooqi]

Is it stable? On the M1 chip especially, because I heard someone saying that he's been experiencing glitches on mac ever since he's been using it.

Does the new macOS Big Sur drain the battery rapidly like iOS 14 by default consumption amount for each app as well? 
Looks like Apple found the new way to force their users upgrade hardware?

Hi there, anyone knows how to drag and drop a file into a full-screen app with only finger gestures? Let's say an image to upload in Safari (I used to hold-select with my left thumb while swiping to Safari with my four right fingers and then drag & drop it), it seems like Big Sur has deactivated that....

I can’t install it...an error message appears every time I try to download

[salomelopesmello]

I installed it and it didn’t go over the final stage for over an hour, I asked my neighbor and he said to click the start button and manually shut done the Mac. I did it and it worked fine!

Any idea if the iMac Mini & iMac Pro Kernel panic bug_type 210 Mojave & Catalina issue has been solved on the Big Sur?

[monkeygangsta]

dude the download is like super slow... wtf

[ALEXMFITNESS]

Was looking forward to this but unfortunately my late 2012 iMac doesn't support it 😒

“An error occurred while installing the selected update”

[mikeejuico]

I can't update mine...it say's "Update not found".

[MetalFourLife]

I'm still waiting for the update of Big Sur.

So is bootcamp available on intel macs or will it go ?

[EquityChaser]

If you're still having trouble back up you computer to the cloud and try factory resetting it that worked for me.

Will the iOS apps be available for Big Sur or just M1 Chip
