Rosetta 2 prompts to be installed the first time it is needed and installs in an instant.Īpps optimised for Apple Silicon open instantaneously, Safari, Calendar, Pixelmator Pro for instance appear in the blink of an eye.

Ignoring FileMaker for now (see below), everything I’ve tried to use has worked, and worked well. It’s brilliant for conference calls for the iPhone or iPad, but we cannot use it for screen share or video/audio sessions from the Mac. The only option available at the moment is ‘snooze’ so I’ve had to abandon use of any alert in Calendar and make more use of Reminders, which retains the 4 remind me later options we were used to in Catalina.Ī personal frustration, which I’ve finally notified Apple about, is that we can still not use a HomePod for audio input. The other, in my view, unforgivable missing feature is the inability to delay Calendar reminders.

I’ve reset the bluetooth module and ensured no other device is still paired to the mouse, but have not been able to resolve this. My Apple Magic Keyboard has been fine, but the Magic 2 mouse constantly disconnects and reconnects. The (non-hiding) Dock jumps between displays as it has on previous OS versions.Īs now being published online, there are bluetooth issues. Only 1 external display can be connected to the MacBook without 3rd party workarounds, but thankfully Sidecar does allow an iPad to become the 3rd screen if needed, which was a bonus. All of the above have been included in a feedback form to Apple. display menu option, but this is a window by window feature, not an application feature. A small issue, but it is having a massive affect on my productivity.

Today, I restarted one of our streaming servers, as I thought FileMaker Pro 19 kept freezing on startup, but in reality the windows were open on the widescreen display and a very small dialogue box was 3 feet to the right on the MacBook screen, which I’d missed. This allowed a specific app to be set to operate on the chosen screen. I’ve been using the widescreen at 2560 x 1080, rather than the highest 3440 x 1440, but after the aforementioned occurrence, often the highest resolution has disappeared from the ‘Scaled’ list of resolutions available.įor some reason Apple have removed the ‘Assign to’ option available when holding down the mouse button/trackpad on an app icon in the dock. System Preferences and Display settings have to be opened, the arrangement, the primary display, the resolutions all have to be reset. Whenever the displays go to sleep/dim for a (as yet unidentifiable) period of time, all of the Display settings are lost. The display is connected via HDMI to a USB-C Anker hub.

I made the error of changing 2 things at the same time, replacing a 27” display with a new Samsung 34” widescreen display for the new MacBook, hence I need to do some backward testing. Using an external display, is proving to be the most disruptive part to my day-to-day work. Currently I’m having to revert to our pool HP Elitebook 840 for any old FileMaker work. Again, a new version of Parallels (demonstrated at this year’s WWDC) and presumably others are on the way. The same for running Windows, or any form of virtualisation.

My trusty Sophos Anti-Virus software is not yet compatible, hence I’m running without AV software for the first time that I can remember.

It has been a surprisingly good experience with some desperately annoying minor issues.īelow I’ll outline with the problems, the good things and the impact of running FileMaker on the M1 Mac and Big Sur. I’ve now been using the M1 MacBook Pro as my primary computer since Monday, having set it up manually, with everything being installed as new and no Time Machine restore involved. For anyone outside of the UK, the ‘M1’ was the first motorway built in Britain and last week was the scene of a £5 million theft of Apple equipment from a lorry travelling on it, as well as the name of the first Apple Silicon chip. Picking up from my earlier post Buying a new Mac that has evolved into my initial experiences of living with the Apple Silicon MacBook Pro, this new post is dedicated to it with some new new additions.
