#LATEST APPLE IOS FOR MAC HOW TO#

With that in mind, it just may take some time before one will be able to make a decision as to how to proceed with programming - is it going to be something more casual or more serious. If you've done typical app programming in Linux and are simply moving to Swift for developing on the Mac, the learning curve is reduced, although one still has to become familiar with the graphics framework used on the Mac. If you're new to iOS development, it takes some time to gain some proficiency in programming for the iPhone/iPad.

Obviously, a lot of that is how fast your iPhone/iPad is and the limitation of the bandwidth on the lightning cable.

For me, deploying an app to the simulator or on a iPad (I haven't used Xcode to code an iPhone app in a while) isn't too bad but it's slower than running a freshly compiled app on the Mac for the first time. I think Xcode is trying to do all kinds of things in the background and that leads to it's lack of responsiveness. With all of those caveats, I can say that the user interface of Xcode with El Capitan was nowhere as snappy as it was when my 2012 Mini was new (back in December 2012) with Mountain Lion with whatever version of Xcode was current then. The version of Xcode available for El Capitan is not the latest. But assuming that the problems are being caused by some combination of new firmware updates, hidden underlying hardware issues with individual Macs, and a new major OS update, staying on Big Sur or Catalina for a couple more months can at least remove one variable from that equation.I used Xcode (Objective-C, not Swift) on my 2012 Mini (16GB) with El Capitan. Apple's security updates for Catalina and Big Sur do often include the same firmware updates that the new operating system includes-this is necessary for patching firmware-level security vulnerabilities-so if the problem actually is caused or exposed by the new firmware updates, avoiding Monterey might not help.

The best way to avoid problems is not to update your Mac until Apple has released a couple of major bugfix updates for Monterey, which is usually smart to do with any new software release, whether there are widespread reports of problems or not. If you have vitally important data stored on your Mac and nowhere else, or if the DFU restore doesn't work, then contacting Apple should be your next step. If you keep decent backups, then it's worth the hassle to get your computer working again.

If that doesn't work, you can attempt a full wipe and restore, at the cost of all the stuff on your Mac's internal drive. If you use the 'revive' option in the Configurator app, it will attempt to restore the firmware without touching the data on the drive.

For PC owners, imagine if installing new Windows versions or Patch Tuesday security updates also updated your BIOS or graphics firmware, and that there was no way to get one without getting the other. Since 2015 or so, Apple has also distributed most firmware updates as part of the operating system rather than doing it separately (this also includes updates to the 'bridgeOS' software that runs on Apple T1 and T2 Macs). When Apple releases new macOS updates, you aren't just getting updates to the operating system.

We also have our own recommendations, as well as some hypotheses about why these major updates sometimes seem to cause a higher-than-usual number of hardware problems. We've asked Apple about these anecdotal reports to see if there are any issues the company is aware of or guidance it has for people whose hardware stops responding to input after a software update. The reports rounded up by MacRumors mention multiple Intel Mac models, ranging from the 2015 model year all the way up to 2020, but don't mention Apple Silicon models-this makes some sense, since they update a bit differently than Intel Macs and may not be susceptible to the same problems. MacRumors has rounded up a representative swath of complaints from the Apple Support Communities forums and Twitter, mostly describing the same symptoms: unresponsive Macs that can't be revived using the typical SMC and NVRAM diagnostic catch-alls. Anecdotal reports from over the weekend indicate that the macOS Monterey update may be bricking some Macs during installation, leaving the machines unresponsive.
