I have the same version of Catalina on both machines but the performance couldn't be more different. I don't have this issue on the MacBook which in theory is suppose to be much slower and has less memory than the iMac. One of my biggest issues is the time it takes to open apps, which can take up to minute with the app icon s bouncing up and down in the dock bar. Perhaps my expectations were too high after reading about all the super fast features. Slow loading of apps on 2019 iMac I bought a 2019 iMac during lockdown and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with its performance especially compared with my 2012 MacBook Air. My workaround is to have my assistant open the documents and send them tom me as an excel but that will only do for so long. And unlike Numbers which CAN open excel documents, I cannot open a numbers document in excel. I feel like I am screaming into the wind but I need to access years of numbers documents for reference in my job. I know it's in the cloud but I really want to make sure this will work before I go through the hassle of having to reload all my photos, documents, emails, contacts, events etc - and their preferences. I started to do so but was freaked about all the questions and asking if I was SURE I wanted to log out because everything would be gone. I have tried everything short of logging out of iCloud and logging back in which was another suggestion. Some highlights: I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. plist file do not apply since there no longer is a file. I have done most - if not all - of the fixes. Searching various solution in the discussions I was able to get Pages and Keynote working by restoring Font Book. After a few restarts Spotify began to open fine. All did except for Spotify, Numbers, Pages and KeyNote. I then attempted to open other apps to test which would open. When it launched Spotify launched at login and also crashed. Got the internet working and launched Numbers. I forced quit and relaunched Numbers but every time I attempted to open the file it locked up (because it was offline.) I finally realized the issue. I did not realize at the time that my internet connection was down so apparently the app locked up while trying to open a document that was not on the local hard drive. Yesterday while working in Numbers the app hung up - swirly beach ball - after attempting to open a document in dropbox. I have a M1 MacBook Air with Big Sur and it has been flawless for the past 7 months. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to do digital scrapbooking! I am very satisfied with this product.Numbers crashing on launch I have seen numerous posts throughout the discussions addressing this same issue - with varying levels of success. Their support staff has been Extremely helpful to me as well! I have no complaints about their support! I contacted the support department twice and both times they have helped me where I was 100% satisfied. There is a sample kit that comes with the product but its just enough to make you realize that you need and will want more kits. So you can use paper from one kit and embellishments or word art from another. The great thing about the kits is that they are interchangeable. that you can you over and over for various projects. Their online store also has (at a very inexpensive price) kits that are available which include paper, embellishments, word art, etc. These you have to purchase though (but not expensive at all). I also like their online store () which has a few predesigned templates as well. They have a nice assortment of pre-designed templates to choose from. IScrapbook 2.0 is an excellent product and their support staff matches up to their product!
