Most Apple apps wont open on Mac Big Sur So this issue has been happening for a while now, ever since I updated to Big Sur, apps like Safari and App store will not work. For Safari, I can open it and enter a url, but it will never actually go the link and follow through.
App store will open but just stay blank
Music I can see my previously downloaded music, but I can't search for new music.
I tried doing a back up for a restart but the backup would end up freezing at 74 mb out of x GB.
And for the first few weeks, any time I decided to open a new app, it would take a couple minutes to open, now that issue is gone but the apple apps are still broken
My macbook is a 2019 macbook pro
Ideally, you’d make a bootable copy of your primary drive, erase it, and reinstall macOS. The easiest, free option to do so is with SuperDuper but it’s not yet Big Sur compatible.
I think your next best bet is to make sure you have some kind of backup (Time Machine or otherwise so you can at least access your old files) and erase and reinstall macOS.
After you have your backup, hold down Command + R on startup to get into recovery mode. Open Disk Utility, select your primary disk (top-most level), erase it, and reinstall macOS. From there, you can access your backup and pull out the files you need.
