Nakon dosta godina odlučio sam napraviti update OSX-a na Mac Book Pro mid 2014.
Išao sam sa High Siera na Big Sur.
Napravio sam backup preko Time Mashina.
Update sam odradio direktno preko instalera od Apple-a (bez USB-a).

Kod instalcije mi se oštetio jedan user na način da jedinio kod njega ne mogu otvoriti System preferece.
Na netu se dosta ljudi susrelo s ovim problemom.
Ali su im različiti uzroci pa i su i fixovi različiti.

Meni za sada nije ništa od onog što sam našao pomoglo.

Zadnje što sam probao je obrisati problematičnog usera i ponovo ga prebaciti sa MIgration Assistant. Ali neuspješno. Problem je i dalje prisutan.

Prvi korak bi bio otvoriti Console.app i pratiti sto se dogadja u system.log u trenutku kada pokusas otvoriti System Preferences.

Evo odgovora iz Console:

Je li moguće da je problem postojao i ranije na High Sierra samo ga nisi uočio?

Nije. Nikako.

To mi je bio radni "Standard" user.
Na njemu radim zadnjih 11 godina, od prvog dana.

Drugi user mi je Admin, a treći je bio od supruge, koji je služio samo za sinkronizaciju iPhona (glazbe).

Možda ti Riba bude znao pomoći na temelju tog ispisa iz konzole, ja, nažalost, ne znam
Moj bi pokušaj bio da kreiram novog standard usera i ručno prekopiram sve iz ~/Library od starog ("pokvarenog") korisnika u isti taj folder novog korisnika, trenutni problem bi ti vjerojatno bio riješen, ali ne znači da ne bi bilo nekih drugih (kojih sada nisi ni svjestan).

@smayoo hvala!

Ručno sam postavio potrebne mailove i prebacio dokumente.

Imam tri mail POP accounta u kojima su mi svi "originalni" maiovi (ne iportirani) i bilo mi je zgodno i pregledno za pretraživanja.

Napravio sam ručni import starih mailova sa tih POP accounta, ali to nije "to".
Šteta, do sada mi je bilo lijepo uredno.

Kako je jedan frend rekao: "Ako ti do sada nije riknu niti jedan disk - svakim danom si bliže da će ti riknuti. Budi spreman na to"

Tako i ovo.
11 godina je bilo bez problema. Vrijeme je da malo okusim i drugu stranu medalje.

Eh, vidim da nisi jedini sa tim problemom na Big Suru, ali rjesenje nisam nasao. Slazem se sa Smayoom, napravi novog korisnika, provjeri je li sve ok i iskopiraj bitne stvari unutra ali postepeno i nakon svakog koraka provjeri mozes li otvoriti System Preferences.

@Riba hvala na trudu.

Iznenađen sam promjenama na Music aplikaciji.
Imao sam recimo sređenu svoju audio kolekciju sa slikama albuma, ali ih zbog nekih novih promjena kod polovice albuma nije povukao slike albuma.
Morati ću opet ručno štrikati.

Na telefonu imam lijepo sređeno a na kompu više nemam.
Bojim se napraviti sinkonizaciju telefona i kompa. Grrrrr

Baš su bahati.
"Ne mogu" srediti kompatabilnosti u vlastitim aplikacijama.

I Playliste su zeznuli. Ne povlaći ih automatski / ne vidi ih.

Napravio sam export Playliste iz usera kod kojeg ne mogu otvoriti System Preference ali ga kod novog usera ne može importirati.

Ovo je sve normalno, nažalost.

Meni recimo Xcode zbrlja ios/watch projekt ako ga povučem sa Mojave direktno na neki noviji i onda veli da mora upgrade projekta na newer settings i nakon toga se projekt više ne može pokrenuti a watch dio jednostavno ispari - u postavkama, same komponente su i dalje prisutne. Pa onda idem korak po korak, Xcode 11 -> 12 -> 13 -> 14 ->...

Ja sam isto pogubio playliste i za muziku i za filmove, tj. izgubile su se sve cover art slike, Music je preuzeo muzičke playliste ali TV ne šljivi pol posto ništa od video play listi.

Zato i dalje syncam stvar sa Mojave kompa gdje su sve playliste i dalje kak spada a backup pravim na jednoj Catalini i na jednoj Sonomi jer na ta dva Maca imam velke diskove pa nije problem.

Dodatno, baci pogled na Stickies / Naljepnice ako si ih koristio. Tu negdje sa Mojave na catalinu ili Big Sur su promjenili format i ako nisi napravio konverziju u pravom trenu jednostavno bi ostao bez njih.

Ima procedura na netu ako zatreba i za druge kombinacije sistema, mene spasilo kad sam komp dizao sa Mojave na Monterey.

I tako dalje, mene je jučer pogodio bug Sequoia / VMWare koji je ubio virtualku i više je nisam mogao pokrenuti. Na svu sreću (ili na žalost) nisam jedini pa ima i to na netu, čini se da polako Mac ide u eru kad ga neće biti moguće pogoniti u virtualkama jer je Apple zaključio da ih to ne interesira.

community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foun...pgrading-to-macos-15

github.com/DrDonk/OC4VM/tree/main

I zato uvijek zagovaram update korak po korak... s High Sierre se ide prvo na Mojave, pa kada sve lijepo radi, onda na Catalinu, pa tek onda na Big Sur. I nikada problem kada se ide postepeno - jer to je ono što Apple zaista testira, a sva moguća "preskakanja" bi bilo gotovo nemoguće pratiti čak i da se ima vrlo velik QA tim.

Ja vučem iTunes bazu još od MacOS X bete, da - one prve bete nakon MacOS 9 koja je još imala NeXT ikone! I nikada nisam izgubio niti jedan cover ili nešto.

Znam da mnogi nemaju vremena i nestrpljivi su, ali to nosi svoj rizik.

Ja s druge strane uvijek zagovaram "clean install", sa posljednjim službeno podržanim OS-om. Radio na nekoliko macova, nikad problema sa sistemom. Audio covere ne povlačim iz nikakvih baza, svu glazbu tagiram sam pomoću "Kid3" app. Apple je u posljednje vrijeme napravio veliku zbrku na serverima za Music app. Baš su se srozali.

Ovako brzinski bih rekao vjerojatno nekompatibilan 3rd party System Preferences pane Doduse, to bi update trebao prijaviti, ali nikad ne znas. Mozda kompatibilan, ali samo zbugiran. Probaj zguglati kako se micu/vracaju dok ne naidjes na krivca

^SuperUnknown^ kaže:


Evo probao sam sada i ovo. Micao sam sve dodatke koji su se naselili u System Preference.
Ali nikakvog rezultata.
