smb big sur

I am having a problem after updating to Big Sur. I cannot access my files, neither to those on the desktop nor in documents, after an update to Big Sur. When I check the HD usage through About this Mac Storage, I see that the files are there. It shows 66 GB is used (15 GB system, 51 GB Other). When clicking on manage storage, it lists all accessible files and then lists a folder name other 51 GB, but grayed out, not accessible.

I updated to Big Sur this morning and Safari is almost unusable due to being super slow cleared cache, extensions. Doesn’t help any ideas?

I am trying to adopt the new MacOS Big Sur sidebar style in one of my apps. Previously I chose a source list and added the items to it which worked fine. I have selected the new template Window Controller with Sidebar in Xcode. When I run the project without adding any items or controls, it looks fine. However, if I add the Source List, the background of the side bar has some weird effect. It seems like the Column of the Source List messes up the background. How can I add items to a sidebar on MacOS Big Sur? I am running Xcode 12 beta 3 and the latest beta 3 of MacOS Big Sur - 11.0 Beta (20A5323l). Unfortunately I can not post a screenshot.

A few days ago I updated to Big Sur public beta 8, and I realized that when I try to send a message, it says not delivered. I tried logging out of messages, and when I try to sign in, it works for about 5 seconds and then shows me the log in screen again. when I try to log into FaceTime, it just doesn't work. I try using my Apple ID on other computers and it seems to work fine

I have a program that has been running fine for 6 years that uploads data from a weather station (Davis Vantage Pro 2). After upgrading to Big Sur, I am getting the error message, Serial port /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART failed to open. You might need root permissions. How can I fix that.

I backed up my Mac as suggested. When I called support, my main concern was that I wanted to make sure I would not lose my Chat Transcripts. The Chat Transcripts allow you to open a specific conversation on a specific date without scrolling back years. NO PROBLEM I WAS TOLD. Well, after the update to Big Sur, my chat transcript was THere, I guess one could say, but the format was changed and there isn't an app available that opens it. It is just symbols. Spent hours on the phone with support and no luck. They also advised that re-installing bac to catalina would likely not fix the issue. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so were you able to fix it. Very simply, I have some Chat Transcripts from a friend in Hospice that I wanted to print the individual pages. This all makes me very upset, especially because I called before updating to the new os.

If someone modifies a Big Sur or Monterrey boot disk and attaches it to my standard Big Sur or Monterrey machine booted from the internal will reads of the modified files succeed?

Hey, is there anything that works for you with Big Sur, on legacy Intel hardware or Apples M1? I can't even shut down one of my Macs without a kernel panic occurring. Feedback Assistant is useless as no bugs I reported are fixed and I never get a reply or a request for more informations. Level 2 support takes hours to write everything in a ticket, only to have no one respond. This Input field here on 'Ask a Question' doesn't show any text because it is broken. Nothing seems to get fixed at Apple. Most of the bugs and kernel panics I encounter are in forums where people described them last year in the beta phase. Is there a why to push Apple to increase the software quality? Thanks, Martin

Hi All, I have a question. Just after the software upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur, my mac (Macbook Air 13-inch, Early 2015) stopped mounting any usb external discs. Doesn't matter, if it's an usb ssd card reader, usb stick, or external hdd. Does anyone have a similar problem, and any possible solution? Thanks

Hello, I recently attempted to upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur. Unfortunately I decided to use an external HD to process this, when Big Sur created the install partition it converted the data one the hardrive (800 GB) to a different partition in Apfs format. I can no longer access the files, but when looking at the volume on the HD I can still see the 800 gigs as being used on the HD. Is there anything I can do to convert the HD back to its previous state or convert the Apfs file back to the original file. Thanks

I am using Big Sur, the photos widget doesn't show any image but it just says No content available

Hey guys, I have problem, when I move my mouse HyperX pulsfire surge the picture freezes. It's new bug for Big Sur, it wasn't on Catalina

It seems that signed pkg installers in Big Sur can't run on El Capitan or earlier due an invalid signature. Sierra and newer OS versions work fine though. This wasn't the case with using productsign in Catalina. Were there some changes with how certificates are handled, and how can I add back support for earlier OS versions? Thanks

PLEASE HELP!!! I upgraded from El Capitan 10.11.6 to Big Sur 11.0.1 and my iMAC has slowed down drastically. I regret upgrading. Should have waited for a stable version. This is what I have: MacOS Big Sur (Version 11.0.1) iMac: (21.5-inch, Late 2015) Processor: 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB I see there are several other people who are facing the same issue. Request Apple to look into this ASAP. PLEASE HELP!

In macOS Big Sur, the dimensions of the NSSearchField control have changed. For the worst, of course. Previously, in macOS Mojave or Catalina, when using a small NSSearchField control, you could replace the magnifier icon with a custom icon using: a 13x13 (26x26 @2x) image. the setSearchButtonCell: API as suggested at https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SearchFields/Articles/CustomizingSearchFields.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002246-BABFIBIA Now in macOS Big Sur, a 13x13 image is: a little too big drawn over the top of the bezel of the search field. Trying smaller size does not solve the fact that the image is offseted to the top of the control and is drawn over the bezel. As there are no offset properties for NSButtonCell, maybe the issue could be fixed with an image whose contents is incorrectly centered. But I'm not in the mood to try this right now. Questions: Is this a known bug? If this can be solved by using a specific i
