    Resolved TV App corrupt even after reinstall

    The Apple TV App was corrupt on RC2. I downloaded the final version (same rev) and installed again. It is still corrupt and cannot be launched. Isn't this on the sealed snapshot? How can this be? Any ideas on how to fix it? I can see the app in the Finder, but it is "not visible" in terminal.

    M1 Max still at Monterey 12.6.9. Skip Ventura? Ventura mature yet?

    Hi all, currently at Monterey 12.6.9 on my 16" M1 Max. I'm torn between going: 1. Monterey 12.6.9 -> Ventura 13.6 -> Sonoma 2. Skip Ventura and go Monterey 12.6.9 ->Sonoma. Any drawbacks to skipping a major macOS version entirely? Ventura's initial issues made me stick with Monterey. I just...

    Controller Emulation on Sonoma

    I like playing iPad games on my Mac with Apple's controller emulation so I can play games when I'm out and about with just my M1 MacBook Air keyboard and trackpad. Since trying out Sonoma though this feature just flat out doesn't work. I've tried it on multiple games and it just doesn't seem to...

    PostScript is dead

    Sonoma has removed the pstopdf command, as well as the PSNormalizer framework which provides the PostScript interpreter for the OS. You can still create PS to send to a printer, but there's no support for interpreting PS in the OS anymore. A sad day; though it's been coming for a long time...

    Severe bug in Sonoma: Save/Open dialog triggers bouncing icon, app must be manually brought back to front

    Sonoma introduced a severe bug that affects all apps: If you trigger a Save dialog one way or another, the app's icon starts bouncing in the Dock and the app isn't the frontmost process anymore. That is, it doesn't respond to keyboard until you manually bring the app back into focus by either...

    Does iOS 17 upgrade notes/reminders to be incompatible with previous versions?

    Despite my 2017 MacBook Pro still being incredibly snappy, it will not be compatible with the next macOS. So if I upgrade my iPad and iPhone to iOS 17, will my notes/reminders/anything else be upgraded to a version that will no longer sync or be compatible with my Mac?

    Sonoma may have bricked my Mac

    Disclaimer: this could very well be caused by faulty hardware, or an act of God. I am not saying Sonoma caused the issue, but I did see some funny things within Sonoma hours prior to the bricking. So yesterday, my 13" MacBook Air M2 was fried. As I was normally typing, one of the keys kept...
