Hi, is anyone else having major with their USB ports using Big Sur ? every time I attach an Ex.HD the laptop crashes, on the odd occasion I have got to the point where I can open the icon of said Ex.HD but then it crashes. This really not good as I can't even plug-in my TimeMachine Ex.HD Anyone ???

Hi, I'm having a major issue with Big Sur Beta, every time I attach an EX. HD to either USB port ( MB Air ), the icon appears but as soon as I open it the laptop crashes. I can't live with this, it also means I can't attach my TimeMachine back-up. So how do i go back to Catalina There is no point continuing with Big Sur until Apple fix this issue with USB ports

Hi, I've got Big Sur beta installed but have come across a major issue, as in when I attach either an EX. HD or even an USB as soon as I double click on the icon to open the laptop crashes, I have even tried both USB ports and several cables and EX.HD's, I get the same problem which doesn't really help as I now can't attach my eX.HD with my Time Machine Back-up. So the question is, I saved the Installer for Big Sur, I'm thinking of re-installing it, just to see if this fixes the problem , any comments here as to whether or not this is a good idea ? Advice please. Steve ( UK )

Hi, I'm trying to update my iPad to iOS 11 Public beta 5. First , my iPad is working fine, however in Software Update all I get is the spinning wheel going round and round, stating 'Preparing Update' and 'downloading' . This has been going on for some 2 hours plus and still going no where 😠I've even re-booted the iPad twice and still get the same.Any ideas out there ?Steve( stevetreble@mac.com )PS: It would really help if there were a 'Chat - line' just like there is on the 'Normal' Apple support site, if you want our help ( beta testers ) then how about helping us in a better way 😠
