Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and yesterday apple released mac os big sur beta 11.0.1
and this is a bit of surprise because mac os big sur is not yet out to the public so this
is available to developers and beta testers and as you can see here came in at 3.69 gigabytes
this is on a 2016 macbook pro so if i close this you can see version 11.0.1 and the build number is
d 20b5012d like i said it's kind of odd because beta 10 is what we had with version 11 but now
we're already on the next version so many of you are asking me how do i go from this version
to the public version when it comes out well if apple releases the public version very soon
do not install this update but rather revert back to the previous one
so what you want to do is kind of stay on beta 10. so go to your system preferences
under system preferences go to software update we'll wait for it to check for
an update it won't find it but down here on the left where it says software update go to details
and hit restore defaults this will remove you from the beta program and you'll be on
beta 10 when the next update comes out you'll be able to update to it the only other way to
do it is to manually restore and go back to the previous version so i'm not exactly sure
why they did it this way but they did this time and so if you don't want the current most
up-to-date beta don't update to this version at least from what i can tell from the documentation
now as far as anything new in this particular update well there's a bunch of bug fixes and
known issues and i'll talk about that in a moment but if we go into settings or system preferences
and then we go to desktop and screen saver there are updates to the actual photos or
wallpapers that are in here so we'll give it a moment to load it's kind of doing something
strange on this macbook but you'll see in addition to what we had with beta10 last time there's some
new wallpapers so if we switch between them it takes a moment it switches these are all dynamic
and this one is catalina but it's dynamic they've just changed the way it looks then we have the
cliffs and i showed this one last time but there's some new drawn ones as well so that's the pacific
coast highway you'll see here's a new one called the lake we have the desert we'll wait for it
here we also have the beach and then we have solar gradients now these will change throughout the day
now we also have the new ones here for peak then we have tree wait for that then we have valley and
also dome and then there's some additional ones as well so apple keeps updating these some of these
you're familiar with so i'll skip over those but some of the newer ones you can see here's big sur
mountains big sur ariel big sur coastline which i had at the beginning of the video see if we can
go back to it that's kind of odd we've got big sur shore rocks and then big sur's big sur waters edge
they're all very nice and then big sur road big sur night succulents big sur night grasses
and then we have the catalina wallpapers so here's a few others peak day
if we go down here you've got catalina silhouette some others peak day peak night
and some additional ones as well so there's quite a few throughout here that they've changed it to
so i think they're really nice this one i like dome night here so you've got a bunch of different
wallpapers drawn or not i kind of like this one for now big sur coastline so we'll stick with
that so we've got a bunch of new wallpapers i know a lot of people were wanting new wallpaper they're
beautiful photos and if you have a high resolution display they look great now the other thing is
there is references to new macs within the code so apple's silicon max should be coming later
this year and nine to five mac as you can see here it says big sur 11.0.1 beta includes references
to three unreleased macs ahead of apple silicon so we're waiting for those particular updates whether
that be macbooks, macbook pro or imac we'll have to wait and see but we know that they're going
to refresh the entire lineup of max over the next couple of years so we should see that soon
now there's 29 known issues and some of them have to do with bluetooth for example you may be unable
to pair certain braille displays using bluetooth so if that's important don't use the beta
but you can see here's just some bluetooth preferences i'll show that in the menu bar also
and then also when you're updating from mac os big sur 11 beta 2 to mac os big sur 11 beta 3 or later
you may have a huge download rather than an incremental software update and then also you
want to keep your mac awake if you're installing this update according to apple because it may
go to sleep and you don't want it to do that so you'll need to adjust that in your energy saver
and you can do that here we go to power adapter and you don't want to turn off the display or
anything like that prevent it from sleeping that way it installs the update and then other than
that there's a total of 29 known issues so they're still working on it but things from the kernel to
swift ui third-party apps and more and they've resolved six issues as well so it seems pretty
stable so far i've been using on this mac and i'll also be using it on others so
seems like it's doing okay it's fairly fast this is only a dual core mac but you'll see
it's fairly fast considering that i'm screen recording at the same time
but in general it should be pretty good i'll link these wallpapers in the description below
i believe a couple different people have already posted them so i'll link them so you can try them
out and some people have modified them for iphone as well so i'll link those if you found anything
else though let me know in the comments below some people are saying there's a new startup chime
for different macs i haven't heard that i don't have one of those macs that i've noticed a
difference but let me know if you found anything else in the comments below also let me know if
you'd like to see more of these mac os updates even if there are only a few small changes like
i mentioned already if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed
the video please give it a like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron i'll see you next time
