It has been reported that the latest macOS Ventura 13.6.6 update is causing numerous issues for those using older Mac computers. Some users have reported problems such as Touch ID not working, iMessage failing to load, Bluetooth connectivity issues, and Time Machine not working. It seems that this issue is mainly affecting users of the 2017 MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and the late-model 12-inch MacBook. Although Apple has released a new update, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, bundled with macOS Ventura 13.6.6 to fix some of these issues, there are still various problems that users are facing.
At this moment, Apple has not yet announced when a new macOS Ventura update will be released to resolve these issues, leaving many users eagerly waiting for the 13.6.7 update to fix the errors that have been affecting their usage experiences.
It is important to note that this issue may even affect users who own newer Macs, as some users who want to maintain compatibility with old application software have opted to use the older version of macOS and have also encountered similar problems.
If you are currently experiencing issues with the new macOS Ventura 13.6.6 update, it is suggested that you implement the following recommendations:
- Regularly back up your data to ensure that you can restore your data if something goes seriously wrong.
- Avoid installing other software updates as it may exacerbate the issues.
- Contact Apple support if you have serious problems and need help.
