I recently encountered a significant system issue with my MacStudio, which ultimately forced me to perform a complete system wipe and reinstall from a Time Machine backup using the Migration Assistant. However, this process has inadvertently broken ApplePay on my device.
After contacting Apple Support, I opened an AppleCare+ case and received two potential solutions. The options presented to me are as follows: first, I could wipe the system again and manually transfer my files without using the Migration Assistant.
Second, I could choose to wait and hope for a future software update that resolves the ApplePay issue. Having been a long-time user of macOS for over 15 years and accumulated numerous updates and upgrades, I realize that my system might contain a lot of unnecessary software.
This awareness leads me to consider whether a fresh start might actually be beneficial in the long run. As I weigh my choices, I’m eager to hear from the community regarding which path would be less painful or if contemplating these options is misguided.
In my exploration of potential solutions, I’ve come across various tools and methods including Arq, SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC), and Time Machine’s drag-and-drop feature. Despite the potential inconvenience of these methods, I feel compelled to gather as much information as possible before proceeding.
In conclusion, while I recognize this might create more trouble than it’s worth, Iām facing the choice between a drastic solution and waiting indefinitely for a fix. I appreciate any insights or experiences you may share on this matter.
Thank you!
