I am glad someone has had a good result. My Software Update has for about 45 minutes been showing "12.18 GB of 12.18 GB" as being downloaded but nothing is happening. The progress bar shows about 85% complete. It looks frozen and/or stalled. No po…

The download seems to be working again and it isn't erratic as previously. Has anyone actually been able to install and use it? That could be the next mess.

For what it's worth, trying the download in Safe Mode is no different. I know that's not particularly helpful, but it might save some people the bother of trying it.

"Major new features in macOS Big Sur" Many of us have discovered one of them: It's unavailable.

Perhaps the "new" MacMini they were using as the only server to provide updates to the entire world blew a fuse? Big fail for them, but I am sure they will sort it out in time for New Year celebrations in 2022!

It is looking as if Apple has pulled the download off and it is no longer available. I had several failed downloads in the past few hours, now clicking on "Get" or "Download" whether initiated from Software Update or the App Store results in an inst…

After several hours and now a second failure with an aborted download, I guess it's time to put this off for a day or two and do something useful instead. At this rate, the download time will exceed my current life expectancy. Time to have a nice …

Perhaps Apple is testing out just one of the new Apple Silicon Mac Minis as the sole server to handle distribution of this update for the entire world? Almost makes one nostalgic for the days of dial-up modems. I don't remember even them being quit…

I have been using Apple Pay at COSTCO in Canada for a couple of years. Just paid for $190 worth of stuff this morning at my local COSTCO with my Apple Watch and a non-COSTCO Master Card. Most companies with US head-offices do not offer Apple Pay …

AirParrot has issued an update that is compatible with tvOS 10.2. It works OK for my setup.

At last! Once a few banks, especially big ones like CIBC implement this, most of the others will quite quickly want to jump on the wagon too. Not surprised Canadian Tire is one of the first group after Amex. They are a very aggressively competitive…

I know not everyone is pleased with being a Telus customer, but I have had consistently good service from them for years, so I am cautiously optimistic about the new hire at Apple Canada. In the meantime, I very much enjoy being able to use Apple Pa…

As soon as the "big" banks (and there are not so many of them in Canada) realise that they are losing business to Amex, I think they will see the sense of signing up. They will also, I think, warm to the fact that Apple Pay is the most secure paymen…

Having been able to use Apple Pay on numerous occasions here in the Greater Toronto area, I must respectfully disagree that "Apple Pay really doesn't exist up here at all". Almost any vendor accepting American Express and having a tap-to-pay machine…

Prof Peabody posted: "There is not one single bank in Canada that is "on board" with Apple pay. Not one." That's true at the moment - but the manager of my (Canadian chartered) bank was rather interested when I told him I would probably not be usi…

I think that "90% of retailers in Canada" is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is indeed surprising how many places here in Canada actually accept Apple Pay - even with only one issuing bank, American Express, supporting it. Chip-and-pin terminals ar…
