Re: Compact Flash Card.

Hi Tony.
I have used an application called Picture Rescue 2.
It has helped me recover lost photo files a couple of times.

Re: big sur

[Stephen Chape]

I updated a few days after release (which is not like me, I usually wait about 
a month).
Got a little impatient this time, and I guess the hype got to me too.

Anyway I have had no issues and I really like it.
PS: The Mac start up chime is back .. very nostalgic !

The only issue I did have is that SuperDuper backup is dragging it’s feet.
I have communicated with them via email and they don’t seem very concerned.
Their response was like “ well just be patient or use Time Machine while you 
wait"
It will not yet run with Big Sur.

But that’s OK .. I have switched to Carbon Copy Cloner and finding that a more 
user friendly interface.
I only use this for my monthly backup that resides in my safe.
My main backup is Time Machine (but just in case everything gets stolen, I 
always have the safe backup).

Mac Mail confused me a little at first because I seemed to have a lot more 
additional folders than before.
And even some missing.
But now I have sorted them out all is fine there too.

Other than that … VERY PLEASED !

Re: big sur

[John Thompson]

Greetings All,

A little patience is all that is required.  Just after posting my previous to 
the list, Macmini and Big Sur came to life.

All appears good and the interface is quite pleasing.

Best Wishes to all

 Great news Philippe. I must say I do feel better about Big Sur overall 
 than I ever felt about Catalina, which I think was somewhat of a testing 
 ground in preparation for Big Sur, and a “proof of concept” for going all 
 64-bit. Even Kinemac, an animation application I obtained back in 2013 as 
 part of a software bundle, and has not received an update in all the time 
 since then, has now gone 64-bit with the release of version 2.0! I think 
 all the software thats’s important to me is now 64-bit, which certainly 
 was not the case at the beginning of the year! I’ll be moving forward with 
 confidence I think.
 
 Have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Re: big sur

[John Thompson]

I have been holding off on this upgrade, waiting on some positive reports.  All 
looked good this morning so, with nothing better to do, I decided now was the 
time.

Thankfully, I still have my 13” mid- 2012 MacBook pro running Mojave as the 
late 2014 Mac mini is still trying to complete the upgrade to Big Sur.  It has 
been ove two hours now and still not up and running so I guess it is just a 
waiting game.

A very Merry Christmas and happy and safe New Year to one and all.

Great news Philippe. I must say I do feel better about Big Sur overall than I 
ever felt about Catalina, which I think was somewhat of a testing ground in 
preparation for Big Sur, and a “proof of concept” for going all 64-bit. Even 
Kinemac, an animation application I obtained back in 2013 as part of a software 
bundle, and has not received an update in all the time since then, has now gone 
64-bit with the release of version 2.0! I think all the software thats’s

Hi Rosemary and Peter, 

I have updated my 21” iMac 3 days ago, after having done a full bootable copy 
of the HD, and so far so good. I must admit that I have only used a few 
applications so far, mainly Excel, Mail, GraphicConverter, Safari, FireFox, 
Reunion and Heredis and no problems noted. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all WAMUG members

Keep safe and enjoy the festivities. 

Best Regards,

Philippe C.

Don’t see much in the way of problems out there in the wild. I’ll probably 
update during the Christmas break. Never did do Catalina, and the problem is 
now that the latest versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote require 10.15 or 
later. This will happen with increasing frequency with other apps, especially 
as they get updated to work with the M1 processor, so I guess it’s time to move 
on anyway.
