Problems after Sonoma 14.6.1

my mac freezes in black screen with cursor for several seconds every time i open the screen. before the update, it instantly show the screen or even the browser you left before closing the lid. now it freezes black but i can see that it is open because the audio is playing when you're on the browser but the screen is black about 5 to 10secs. then after the screen shows when on log in, the finger print and the keyboard is unresponsive for another while before you can type, before, it instantly unlocks after you put the finger print.. I've tried several methods, shutdown, safemode, erase memory but stil it freezes. is there anyone who have experience the same issue?

also it took longer to boot

Several employees, including myself, are also experiencing a long delay when logging into our MacBook Pro laptops. This happened after the upgrade of macOS Sonoma v14.6.1. Unfortunately we will not be able to disable disk encryption as this is a requirement for us. Is Apple looking at addressing this issue with a future release?

Updated to 14.6.1 and now all of a sudden I'm having issues with Music app.

I can't modify playlist names; tracks added or deleted to playlists are not saving; New folders and playlists are not being saved. Really frustrating, as I use these features to create weekly playlists for work. Essentially, I'm not able to make any changes to my files in Music. Really disappointed that Apple should release an upgrade that causes these kind of issues.

Sonoma 14.6.1

My 2019 Macbook Pro started going slow when there is video conferencing going on. FCPX (latest update) won't export video files. iMovie crashes after exporting a file.

Everything is slower when there's video going.

Terrible

After updating the Sonoma 14.6.1, my MacBook Pro cannot detect any of my Apples devices including my iPad and iPhone that I plugg in. Besides, my Blu-ray/DVD device cannot be detected as well. It’s horrible! Is there anyone who can teach me how to fix this problem? Many thanks.

Hi,

Has there been any soultion to your problem? I'm also experiencing a big change in my finder, my file folders, documents, and side bars are different. It seems everything is all over the place. There are also file folders I dont even recongize and the ones I do, I cannot open. Not feeling this vibe from Apple.

I have the same problem with using a USB hub. Apparently the security settings have been updated to remove the option for you to permit all connections. The only resolution I have for this issue to to restart my computer. With the hub, the only ports that do not work are the USB hubs. The port for the usb-c cord to charge the computer and the HDMI still work, but the computer doesn't recognize any of the USB ports connected. This means my headphones and the printer I connect do not work until I restart the computer.

Since the update, I now have to regularly restart my computer multiple times a day. I wish they would just leave the switch back in the system settings so I could turn the ports on/off manually instead of wasting the time to restart the computer. I tried using another hub and restarting the printers, but none of those options were aside from hard rebooting the computer.

I'm on a single monitor and even having issues with 1080p footage, even with proxies (which I don't need but I was looking for solutions) both on PP and Davinci Resolve since the 14.6.1 update, what a nightmare

I no longer have my Downloads, my Favorites, Finders, and Photos is blank. I'm just a personal user and don't understand what most of you are discussing so need a simple step-by-step solution. Hopefully ---

ROFL, as of today we have a update choice of 14.7 or 15.0. My computer's barely usable with 14.6.1, but which option will be less bad... Time Machine is still broken for me too ever since 14.6.1, so I have no confidence in my backups or ability to go back to pre 14.6 via TM. What a situation.

Congrats 😎 on level ⬆️

Good suggestion too

Thanks

At our company we are experiencing the exact same.

Really don't know whats going on.
