I just purchased the base model M2 Mac Mini pro. It is simply unusable! 5-10 minutes after starting Lightroom Classic, i get a app memory message, and endless beach ball. I contacted Apple support and just got hemming and hawing. And cant even restart the mac without pressing the on off button!
What are you doing Apple?

Friendly suggestion.
When I see " What are you doing Apple? " it is better that the user reads who and how the Apple Hosted Support Community Forums actually works

Since the problem seems to be occurring with Lightroom Classic, you may also want to check your version of Lightroom for compatibility with Ventura and available updates.
Adobe is reporting known issues with Lightroom Classic and Ventura, see: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-classic-and-macos-ventura.html
What else is running on the computer when this issue presents itself ?
Activity Monitor >> View >> View All Processes
Look for Unusual processes using too much CPU and or Memory - this is a starter suggestion.
There are additional Trouble Shooting methods but usually this will, at least, give us some idea what is happening on the machine.
Hi, I have exactly the same problem. It happened after migrating to venture on my old M1 Pro. After starting LR memory consumed by LR increases very quickly and after a few minutes I have spinning ball, the same messages and cannot do anything. I have to switch off my MacBook which resulted in destroying my catalog during cloud sync. I have no such problems earlier before Ventura upgrade. It worked very well.
Have you maybe manage to find the solution?
I've just realized that after installing Ventura my Ram memory appeared as 8 GB. In fact, I bought my MacBook directly from Apple with 16 GB RAM... I wonder if this has something to do with the memory problem related.
Where are you seeing 8GB reported, in About This Mac from the Apple menu or System Settings > General > About, or both?
I reinstalled Ventura from scratch and the issue is fixed.
