Hello,
This might be a major bug in your view, but it is by definition not a
regression. This occurred for me in Big Sur, so it is not a issue brought
Hi,
I’m totally with Brad on this one. I’ve almost always simply installed on top
of my previous MacOS without issue. Even from Intel to M1.

I’ve never found it necessary to do a clean install.
I just do the regular update, and I’ve never had a problem, plus all my
settings carry forward to the new version.

There should have been no reason to purchase a mouse from Apple. Any mouse
will do. I have several around the house. I just used one that was in my
desk. It was no big deal once I figured out what I needed to do.

Hi,
Not seeing this here. First off, what kind of Mac are you using? MBP? Air, or
something else. Also, are you using an intelligent or M1? I find that if
doing a clean install of any major os clears up; any problems that might come
up.

Hi,
I find this an accessibility regression. I went ahead and bought a mouse from
apple and connected it to my Mac mini and then did the install. It was a pain.
I feel that having a mouse just to get things going is a regression in my book.

I upgraded last night and all seems to be well with the exception of Music.
When I try to go into a playlist from the sidebar, Music stops responding.
Anyone see this and know what may be happening?

By the way, this is not just an issue with macOS Monterey.
The 24 inch M1 iMac I was setting up was running macOS Big Sur.
Not sure when Apple began requiring that a mouse be connected when setting up
or upgrading a Mac, but it was definitely before macOS Monterey.

Any mouse or trackpad will work. It could be USB, Bluetooth or any thing else.
Just so it connects to the Mac and is recognized by the Mac.
Recently, when setting up a 24" M1 iMac, once I realize that I needed a mouse,
I G grabbed a Logitech wireless mouse, with one of those little dongle
What kind of mouse are we talking about here? Well any off the rack an
expensive USB mouse do the trick or does it need to be some kind of Apple
Bluetooth mouse? I haven’t used one in so long I don’t know what’s out there
anymore or what would be required here.

I had the same issue with the Big Sur install as well. As you said, there is no
way around it, I have to keep a mouse around for that purpose. Once you get to
the install screen you can disconnect it but yes, you will need to connect a
mouse or track pad to continue.

Yup, this has been the case for a while now, at least Big Sur. Connect or make
available a trackpad or mouse in pairing mode, and the blocker will disappear.
You can then proceed without.
It’s a bloody nuisance, but fortunately I have a trackpad on hand. A new buyer
of my Mac Mini didn’t,
You'll run into the same situation if you try to set up a new Mac for the first
time. You won't be able to do anything until you connect either a mouse or
trackpad to the Mac. Once you get it set up, you can get rid of the mouse or
trackpad, but you've got to have it to get the thing going the
Evening Mac users. I have a Mac mini 2018 and just created a USB installer and
was able to boot from it. However, I have found a major bug that I would
consider a show stopper if uou want to do a clean install. If you do not have
a mouse or trackpad, There is a window that comes up which
