    Why Tahoe starts SWAP when not needed - Air M5 32GB

    I have brand new MacBook Air M5 15 inch, 32 GB, 1TB. running Tahoe, 26.4.1 Everyone says: "Oh don't worry, just let the system manage memory - it is very efficient..blah blah blah". It is obviously not that great, or to say pretty horrible. Look at my screenshot of my app I am working on - and...

    Apple Music Album Art Doesn't Update Properly in macOS Tahoe

    I've got a major problem going on with Apple Music since I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Tahoe recently. I had made the commitment a while back (actually I started a couple of years ago) to finally update the metadata on my Music library to place songs on their appropriate album, add chart...

    "Purgeable" space is killing my Mac

    ETA: I was able to reinstall Tahoe. Disk Utility now shows 450GB available. Which is annoying because I'm in a position where I'm keeping literally half of my SSD empty. But I'll leave it this way for a few days, see how it goes. Maybe move my photos back at some point now that I know eventually...

    Re-installing Tahoe...

    I have an M3 iMac, refurbed by apple. (about 2 months old) It's working fine, but when I run First Aid, I get several notices/warnings (screenshots). I then went to recovery mode, and ran First aid again, but it didn't fix those errors. Is the only way to clear these errors is to wipe/reinstall...

    MP 7,1 7,1 bros, how is Tahoe holding up so far?

    So everyone has been complaining about Tahoe so far, especially the 7,1 users such as myself. But since these past few updates and ever since I upgraded from the RX 580X to a 6900XT I feel like Tahoe is running extremely well on my 7,1. I do not feel like it is lagging or sluggish, even the...

    Imagine how snappy MacBook Neo with Sequoia would be

    The biggest downside (other than no backlit keys) is having to live with Tahoe on the Neo. Do you think Apple has done enough optimization for this device to avoid a terrible "Windows Aero on a Celeron" experience?

    Does downgrading macOS improve battery life?

    My MacBook Air M2 which I got new back in August 2022 has a maximum capacity of 91% left, and running macOS Tahoe on it causes it to drain from 100% to like 91-90% in one 1 hour when I browse the web, and overall the battery does not seem to last as long as before. I want to know, does...

    Private Browsing not working on macOS Tahoe? Try this.

    I just had the pleasure to not being able to use Private Browsing on my Mac since running the latest version of Tahoe, 26.3. First it told me that Private Browsing isn't available because of a st Screen Time passcode, however that never was a problem in the past. After I disabled the passcode...

    Even With a New UI Head, Liquid Glass is Here to Stay

    There seems to be this belief floating around that with the departure of Alan Dye, Liquid Glass is going to be abandoned or significantly stripped back with OS ‘27. But not so fast… From Gurman’s newsletter this morning: “Q: Do you think Apple’s design team shake-up will lead to user interface...

    macOS Tahoe Brings a Pleasant Design Refresh with Liquid Glass, and Great New Features

    macOS Tahoe brings many benefits in my opinion. The unified Liquid Glass design language between Apple’s platforms make picking up projects on the Mac far more pleasant. And it feels like it fits much better within Apple’s ecosystem of devices. It feels congruent and consistent with Apple’s...

    Why can't I uninstall Kaspersky?

    Hi! Apologies if I've missed this anywhere! I've got a MacBook Air M2, 2022. I updated it to Tahoe when I got it, but after installing Kaspersky Internet Security. I'm UK-based, so no problems there. However, something buggy is going on with it! It keeps asking me to install updates, and the...

    Move Menu Bar items to Control Center?

    To note — I haven't upgraded to Tahoe yet. I'm continually evaluating it and will upgrade eventually, but I am not comfortable doing so yet. (It's less the visual mess that is holding me back, though I do have concerns about that. It is more just inconsistent reports around performance and bugs...

    Diagnostics borked for two different M4 Mac Studios running Tahoe 26.2

    Are diagnostics borked for M4 Mac Studios running Tahoe? It seems really odd that two separate machines ordered days apart would have faulty hardware. IMO, this is a software/firmware issue most likely. Model Number: MHQH4LL/A System Firmware Version: 13822.61.10 OS Loader Version...

    Thoughts on upgrading to Tahoe

    Hi, Can I get some thoughts on Tahoe, I guess now OS 26.2? So far, the bits and pieces I've heard haven't been too flattering, but I wanted to get thoughts for or against from users who aren't necessarily looking for clicks. Is it still too early to upgrade, or should I just stay with...

    For heavy Lightroom users: Tahoe or Sequoia?

    Hey, people. For those photographers out there using Lightroom professionally, do you feel any difference from Sequoia to Tahoe or vice-versa? I actually do, since I'm running a M5 Macbook with Tahoe (24GB RAM) and a M4 Mac Studio with Sequoia (48GB RAM). I completely dislike everything about...

    Time Machine with Tahoe

    Since updating to 26.2 I have been unable to get a Time Machine backup to complete. On both my MacBook Pro M4 and iMac M3 the backups fail. I have tried dozens of times on both machines. Thinking it must be a failing external drive, which is a few years old, I bought a new 1TB SSD external...

    Apple apps that are not yet Liquid Glassed

    There are still a fair number of Mac apps that have yet to be updated with Liquid Glass, despite Tahoe being announced almost 6 months ago. Would be interested to hear thoughts on why this may be, and what we can expect from any updates. Apps that I don't believe have been updated include...

    how to disable Safari nag?

    Running a beta of 26.3 on a M2 MacBook Air. Often (not always) when I start Safari, I get this nagging message. How can I stop this? I have my extension permissions enabled.

    Does Parallels 18 work after upgrading to Tahoe from Sequioa?

    The post title is very specific but I came across a Sonoma to Sequoia post that said Parallels 18 worked only if you upgraded in place ( i.e. don't do a fresh install of Sequioa ). So, it might be the same for Sequoia to Tahoe. I use Parallels 18 once or twice a year for very edge case...
