Upgrading to this from Catalina. Big sur was so buggy in general especially for multiple monitors, was better off staying at Catalina. But Monterey looks promising.
Maybe upgrade your SSD if its a M2 NVME drive you have in the computer. Offers more space and will more likely run a newer OS far better than the regular OWC drive preinstalled.
Literally the most obvious upgrade to do ever for Mac. It’s actually getting crazy how much better Apple products are becoming over windows/android just simply based off the back of the walled garden and so much utilities being brought to them when you have Apple products
I'm digging the power of the m1 but the operating system is still infantile compared to Windows. You still can't even open a Safari website in a new window. Very strange how basic Apple is to be honest

"Automatically keep my Mac up to date" is a lie. It will only install updates for the current major version and will not update to the next major version.
Quick question. I haven't updated to os Monterry, I still am on Catalina, I believe. I have been reluctant to updating due to the bad reviews for Sur. However, I am noticing that the Passwords option on my Mac has disappeared (as it appear on your video 0:56 on System Preferences between the Internet accounts and wallet and Apple Pay option). Could this be because I haven't updated, or what could be the cause? It was once there and now it has disappeared. Help please?
Hi! This may be a stupid question but how did you get your accent color to be a dark purple? The purple accent on my mac is much lighter, is there a custom program you have to alter the accent colors? Thank you in advance!

I found it’s said upgrade to macOS Monterey, I accept and did upgrade and saw its installing in Macintosh HD hard disk not SSD “Why” and after seeing your video you advised to erase all then install monetary. So what to did is wrong or what please suggest me by the way mine is M1 MacBook Air 2020
How to remove the Shortcuts icon in the menubar? It's always there when I run a shortcut but I don't like that. And then another question.

It's really annoying, especially when playing a game because it's makes the game lag for some reason...
Hi Brandon! I have this problem with MacOS Monterey. After updating last night, for some reason I can't share my screen in my Ipad pro 2018 11" via airplay in zoom. As a Uni lecturer, what I do is that when I do my share screen in zoom, I choose the share screen via airplay and use my ipad. This morning minutes before my first class, I tried using the airplay but it just says "Unable to connect to my macbook". I tried it several times and I still can't fix it. I tried share screen via cable and still can't share my ipad screen. Do you know if this is a problem in MacOS Monterey since they now have settings in Airplay or does zoom need to update their app? Thanks and any help is appreciated! I was so embarrassed while doing my lecture in one class :(
im new to Mac. I got mines in January and I've been using it so much since I wanted to make music. anyways, I have had no experience with Macs before so learning how to use it at first was so weird. im still new, but when I updated to this, it took a little too long to update + the restarting was weird because it said it was done and it wouldn't show me to my main login page, it was just the black screen with the apple logo and the bar. I was so scared and I left it for a while and it finally showed me the login page, but my background was changed and I was so confused. and it said to login to my cloud or whatever. is that supposed to happen?

screen saver dont work for pictures so I did call apple store about that and they knows there some bugs to be fixed as well as some other bugs to be fixed too for another update so as they told me it will take few days later to have new updates so I was told by them to wait for it and I said sure fine no problem and I will wait for it thats because I want to make sure everything has to work just right thats why
