iMac late 2015 27" Retina beach-balling after Big Sur upgrade
Hi Apple Community,
Since 11/27 after upgrading to Big Sur, my iMac has been beach balling, maybe every two to three minutes sometimes, for about 30 seconds or more. I see no pattern to the behaviour - it can do it anytime, even when shutting down, running the Etrecheck etc.
So I am in "try the Internet" mode.
- Got and ran EtreCheck (report attached).
- Rebooted into safe mode (and it beach balled there too!)
- Tried disabling this and that - but no matter what it try, the beach balling is there. Sometimes very frequently, sometimes I can edit a 50 minute movie in iMovie with no issue.
- The system does not actually crash - just beach balls.
Anyone with similar beach balling after the upgrade? I have seen several issues after the upgrade in here, but none specifically with just beach balling.
Thanks for any assistance!!
Bill
