Now, I've discovered in my testing that there are 2 main triggers for these lockouts: Somewhere in this process macos is conflicting with itself, resulting in the loss of or partial loss of off backup functionality, disabled apple pay on macs and other security restrictions in the user space of macos, as listed above.

Rogue Amoeba AirFoil etc), docks, DAC's or other tools and even chargers a signed kernel extension may necessarily be installed on the mac which requires lowering macos security policy to Reduced Security to get the kernel extensions to run at boot/login and allow the developers to update them, while not everyone in this thread may have those installed, this seems to be the main causer of these headaches especially on M1-Series macs. problem may appear/disappear intermittently on affected macs.īased on this i have come to the following conclusion, while consulting with an Apple Netherlands rep:Ī user security eval triggers an internal though abnormal macos security process/policy, locking out certain system functions, including but not limited to backups with TimeMachine, Apple Pay, Touch ID, App Store confirm with TouchID, Watch Unlock etc.message about a mac being locked therefor backup is unable to finish, while computer is actually unlocked and in active use**.formatting of the drives does not matter*.underlying bug or parts thereof also present in last 3 Big Sur releases.

problem appears on both Intel and Silicon macs (M1 to Max) though Apple Silicon macs seems to be affected the worst.

So hi all let's summarize this topic as I've got the same problem (across all my devices: M1 MBA, M1 MacMini, Intel 27'' imac i5), i can confirm the following: Could always consider purchasing Carbon Copy Cloner but so far it's extremely slow compared to Apple Time Machine Backups which is annoying.

Surely this must be a bug with macOS Monterey 12.0.1 running on Apple Silicone? It's working perfectly fine from my Intel X86 MacBook Pro, but ever since macOS Monterey it has never worked on my Apple Silicone Mac mini.
