SuperDrive playback issues with Tahoe OS on 2024 M3 MacBook Air
Had to roll back M3 MBA to Sequoia; here’s why:
(Using 2024 M3 MBA.) Installed Tahoe, and worked fine.
However, I’ve noticed these items. 1) In Music, all folders seem to open every time to add something or drag and drop files. Really annoying. But that wasn’t the major irritant- this was:
I use SuperDrive a lot to play DVDs. Worked fine on Sequoia. Got the spinning beach ball of death from time to time, but what DVD player doesn’t do that. However, now during playback, audio synched fine to people’s speaking, but people’s movement and actions were slightly slower. You could see it easily, and it drove me crazy. Support says Tahoe OS architecture has some unknown change in it that messes with the playback frame rate. Or something. In any case, SuperDrive is discontinued, thus unsupported, so the option was The Nuclear Option: wipe MBA, install from the very smart TM backup I made Sunday night prior to Monday Tahoe install. So, back to Sequoia, which I have NO problems with.
Questions: 1) how to I get the little red nag badge off Settings app and 2) Will Apple still release updates for Sequoia users, and 3) how long can I get away with using Sequoia?
