Software Issues with my 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro
Hello, I have a 4 month old 2021 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro that is running Mac OS Monterey 12.5.1, and I have been getting a number of app crashes. I don't know if these are just weird quirks with the current software version, however, its seems as if its on par with the amount of crashes experienced with my 2015 MacBook Air i7. (For reference I have 100+gb free on my ssd, and I only keep apps that I am using open to preserve my ram usage.)
Here's a list of the crashes that have occurred in the past few days:
- While using Logic Pro X, and switching to an Alternate version of the project, the app crashed.
- While applying the HDR tools effect to a 10 second clip in Final Cut Pro, the app crashed.
- When adding a location to a guide in maps, the app crashed.
- After quitting messages with the "CMD Q" shortcut, then opening it back up shortly after, the app crashes.
Other issues:
- After plugging in my iPhone 13 to download my photos to my Mac, the message "Preparing import" stays on the screen and never changes, even after having left it for over an hour. (Both devices are running the latest software versions, and they have ample storage left, I have tried multiple cables and I still have no luck).
- When playing a track through Logic Pro X, and launching another app at the same time, this loud crackling noise plays through the speakers.
For all of these issues I have tried restarting the computer and booting it in safe mode. Do you think this is purely a software issue or possibly a hardware issue?
