My 2021 MacBook Pro with M1Pro processor worked perfectly and smoothly with Monterey 12.5.1. However, after I upgraded it to 12.7.1, it sometimes showed the rainbow waiting cursor which was never seen before on this Mac.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.7
You're welcome. If you mean your drive is almost full that could certainly cause beach balling. Normally it's recommended to keep about 20% free which in your case would be approx. 100GBs.
I run Sonoma 14.1 on my M1 MacBook Air.

I run Sonoma 14.1 on my M1 MacBook Air.
I just upgraded my Chome to Version 119.0.6045.105 (Official Build) (arm64) as we are talking. I'll see how it goes with this. I don't think there's anything wrong with the extensions because I kept them inactive most of the time and they worked well before.
One thing I noticed when I first upgraded to Monterey 12.7 is sometimes I can't click somewhere on the screen with either my touchpad or mouse. Then several days later, I was pushed the 12.7.1, and that problem was solved. That was the same time that the beach ball cursor started to show itself. Ever since I changed to this new MacBook Pro with M1Pro processor, I never saw a beach ball cursor.
Thank you so much for your help! I just encountered the same scenario 1 minute ago, the beach ball cursor showed again. Looks like I need to upgrade to Ventura or Sonoma to solve this.
BTW, which MacOS do you think works better on Apple Silicon chips? The Mac I'm using has limited memory and storage(16GB and 512GB) and the storage is almost full. In this case, which system would you recommend? Thanks!
It may be something you have installed that's not 100% compatible with 12.7.1. FWIW, you can upgrade to Ventura or Sonoma.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the app that shows the rainbow waiting cursor is Chrome, the latest version as of 11/3/2023.
Thanks for the info! But the app that's causing this trouble was Chrome, and it worked perfectly before upgrading.
You're welcome. I have Chrome 119.0.6045.105 installed on Monterey 12.7.1 and have no beach ball cursors. It may be a Chrome extension. Hard to say. Does it happen on every site?
I see. Well I no longer run Monterey on my Apple silicon Macs so I can't even test. Maybe you'll luck out and someone who hasn't upgraded will respond.
Thanks! I think this might be the right answer. I have about 30GB left. I'll see what I can do to free up space.
You're welcome. 30GBs is not enough even on a 256GB drive.

Why did my computer always stuck after I upgraded my MacOS from 12.5.1 to 12.7.1?
