Connection problems between the server and the operating system of Apple Mac computers have affected the use of third-party applications, which have temporarily experienced loading problems that have even prevented the opening of the software.

   Mac users have warned this Thursday that their Mac computers had problems loading or opening applications, especially those of third parties, as they have shared in forums such as Reddit, and it has affected different versions of the operating system, such as Mojave, Catalina or Big Sur.

   IOS and Mac developer Jeff Johnson confirmed on Twitter that there was a problem with the operating system, which could not connect to Apple's servers. On its status page, the tech company also picked up the issue, which was resolved a couple of hours after it started to occur.

   The incident coincided with the release of the new MacOS Big Sur update, although Apple has not confirmed that it was related. This version introduces new features aimed at taking full advantage of the M1 processor, the first from Apple Silicon, such as improvements in the performance of Safari or the native Final Cut video editor.
