Big sur broke my iMac
So I have an iMac 2014. In download big sur and it faults. I’ve tried ctrl r and ctrl p&r and I have managed to almost download 3 times. Every time on the apple screen it stops for hours or overnight. It will not download and restart. I’m now stuck with the apple start screen. Computer bust! I know it’s old but how can apple get away with breaking people’s computers like this, it’s all over the internet so I’m not alone! What is the solution, buy a new one?!!

Big Sur installation failed
So frustrated I clicked “update” as usual on my MacBook Pro when it showed I needed to update. Big Sur now holds my computer hostage as it won’t get past it needing me to plug it into a other Mac??? What is happening?!! I’ve tried the fixes listed in the forum (restart, hold command + R and other combinations). I’m able to have the computer open, choose my icon to sign in and then just does the same thing (stuck on Apple logo for 30 mins to them tell me to plug into another Mac). How do I make this go away? I have a high schooler who needs to use my MacBook for online learning!

softwareupdate change behavior in Big Sur
I have a daemon that can check for and install software updates using softwareupdate. Up to Catalina 10.15.6, the order is softwareupdate --list for each update { softwareupdate --download softwareupdate --install } if any update has Action == restart restart The above has worked so far, but starting with Big Sur beta 5, I was getting infinite loop of download, install, restart. After some trial & error, it appears that in Big Sur whenever Action is 'restart', the --install has to be paired with --restart. For example, updating from beta 6 to beta 7 would be softwareupdate --install macOS Big Sur Beta 7-20A5374g --restart This is not consistent with softwareupdate's man page, which has not been updated since 2012. Anyone else notice this change? I don't know if the pairing --install/--restart is intentional because of the new Update volume, or is a bug that will go away soon. I already files a bug regarding this, FB8700934.

How to build CLI tools with clang++ on Big Sur
Hello, I develop CLI C++11 tools that need to run on Mojave and Big Sur. When I just switched to the latter, I found that adding:-target=x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0 to the clang++ command did the trick, but it is too tied to the present darwin version. What is the recommended way to build my tools in order for them to run both in Mojave and Big Sur? Thanks!

Software update & macOS Big Sur
So I made an amateur mistake and installed macOS Big Sur on a second volume in the same APFS container as my primary volume running macOS Catalina. I missed the release note warning: If macOS Big Sur 11 beta is installed into the same APFS container as previous versions of macOS, system software updates can no longer be installed on the previous versions of macOS. (64411484) So my question is this: I removed the volumes containing the macOS Big Sur beta. Will system software updates on the Catalina partition work again? If not, is there a fix other than erasing and restoring from a backup?

Big Sur update not showing up
Hello. I have a MacBook Air 2020 and I got my Big Sur update just recently. I tried to update it but my administration blocked the update. They unblocked the update but it is not showing up. I have tried to manually search for new updates but the Big Sur update does not show. Could someone help me find it or download it?
