macOS Monterey

FYI, Monterey is still technically in Beta. You might want to try downgrading to Big Sur.

I've updated our Mac Mini M1 today to Montery and it's not working.

It's already reported to the factory, but I'm not sure if it's find the way into the 1.6 bugfix.

Still not working... Please can we try get this fixed asap ma...

I’m not wanting to start an argument or anything, this is a genuine intrigue question…

Why are people so keen to adopt a new OS the second it is released, particularly for show software?

Because It came up in my updates section when i was tired so i installed

and now i cant go back

Same reason why people install a new version of MA3: more features, bugfixes.

You could argue that it's better to wait until MA officially supports Monterey, but you could also argue that the beta's have been available since June and most other software companies have ensured their software is compatible.

It's not like you await until every app on your phone indicates their next version supports the new smartphone OS, before upgrading, no?

Also, the problem of MA3 not launching on Monterey has been known since the early Monterey beta's...

Interesting take.

I myself am the complete opposite. I will basically wait until compulsory to update before changing an OS, or even most applications. But I tend to keep personal and word machines seperate.
Unless of course as you say you need a new feature, like an MA upgrade or something like that. But I find most Mac OSX updates are more about new ways to use Emojis and less about actual useful functionality. Same for windows really.

As you say though, new machines shipping and no ability to downgrade is an issue...
But I'd want MA to focus more energy into their core products (ie hardware consoles) than devote too many resources chasing every update needed to the OnPC platform..

Looking at the grandMA3 stack, it looks like onPC is very similar to what's running on hardware consoles. The issue with Monterey looks like that one of the services needed to run the stack is not compatible with Monterey. Fix the service, and onPC looks good to go. Since this problem has existed since beta 1 of Monterey in June 2021, I'm kind of confused on priorities here. This fix should have been included in 1.6.1 if MacOS was anywhere on their radar.

I mean, I know it's a niche of a niche, but still...

Grandma3 1.6.3 still doesn't work with MacOs Monterey.

When can we expect this major problem to improve?

Please speak to your local distributor

Let‘s go: v1.3.6.7 is now available and has macOS Monterey support.

Just on this, does anyone know what it is that Apple changed for OS12 that causes these app issues?

I think you should report the issues you have now to the tech support.
