Having issues with Big Sur 11.3.1
Since upgrading to Big Sur I've been having lots of problems, mainly with my mac restarting or shutting down because of a problem. Is anyone else having these glitches? I've spent all weekend in my local iStore but they thought it was a problem with the external hard drives, however after looking online I'm thinking is it Big Sur? I'm using a MacBook Pro I purchased in march (2019 version) brand new from Apple. These are the problems I'm experiencing:
- Couldn't copy files from one hard drive to another, kept getting error message 36, even though it had worked perfectly previously, the only way I could get it to work was booting up in safe mode
- Time machine backed up once onto the hard drive, second time didn't work so re-started and then it worked. Just had another failure (following day)
- Finder constantly doesn't respond so I force quit and then I can never get it open, so I try to restart and it gets stuck for 15 minutes my background and spinning wheel - when it eventually powers off the fan goes crazy and I get the black screen telling me my computer restarted because of a problem.
- My hard drives seem to eject themselves - I can see them either in disk utility or in finder but they are greyed out and show that there's nothing on them and don't give me the option to mount or eject? They either don't show up in the finder after I've been using them for a while or they do but like I say are greyed out?
I think that's about everything, I took the laptop into the iMac store and they ran diagnostics which said there was no problems so I'm just a bit confused what's happening. They've told me the next step would be to wipe the computer and start a-fresh like when I first got it?
Has anyone downgraded from Big Sur, wondering if that could sort a lot of my issues! Thanks :)
