Anyone else who managed to update this? Downloaded twice already and it just fails at the end due to some lame message like my internet failed.

I’ve a 256gb iPhone

Since I do backup every few months, is the 256 ssd package sufficient or should I get 512? I don’t do gaming or editors on laptop, just casual browsing and entertainment

usually my iTunes/Photos app libraries/data are on an TB3 NVME external drive, even for most software like Office, etc.
only certain applications that is directly tied to the default installation location in someway, which requires a lot of symlink/hard link to move them off to external drive are left in its default location.

hence I usually just get 256gb storage Mac, no problem backing up my 256gb iPhones smile.gif

Do you guys use CleanMyMac X on your new MBA M1? I ordered mine with 16gb RAM, but when I check on CleanMyMac X, it usually says I only have available RAM of less than 300MB. And I only have WhatsApp, Safari and Mail running.

most likely buggy software, check in about this Mac -> system report -> memory, should report 16GB

I believe he was asking why did CleanMyMacX reported to him that his system only had 300mb of free available RAM rather than the total amount of memory in his system.

ah yea, you are right. macOS typically used up all the RAM you throw at it, even 64GB is nothing for it laugh.gif

hi. Probably the wrong place to ask but my safari on my office wifi, a lot of website "Cant find server". Why is that? LYN forum ok. Some bank sites cannot. Tried clearing the cache and set DNS to google 8.8.8.8 but still the same. Any ideas?

No issues on my home wifi.

most likely something with https..usually I use Brave browser to sift the links that Safari "can't find server" laugh.gif

Updated to MacOS Monterey and found that there is a MacOS which took up 15gb on my computer.

Does anyone know who can I remove it.

ah, they changed the categories, now system data is much smaller and macOS has its own category

my system data is about 5GB on Monterey
