Oh boy, I hope it brings back OS7 Control-key commands because OSX needs Command-Option-Control-Shift+key for simple tasks and my fingers get tangled up!

 

[ShivneelSingh]

Please oh please fix the bluetooth issues that I've been having on my 2021 16" MacBook Pro.

Just saw it pop up via softwareupdate --list. Afterwards, it showed up in System Settings. Gonna download that along with iOS 16.3.1 tonight.

Before installing, I was having severe WiFi issues on mine this morning. After updating, it is working normally. But this problem has been intermittent for me, so I can't really say for sure whether the update fixed it or it just randomly started working again after the reboot.

What issues did you have?
For me it was both BT and WiFi.
BT would be choppy in APMax and often WiFi would simply disconnect and unable to reconnect until I moved the mac.
Same here MBP Pro M1

I haven't been able to connect my Logitech G613 keyboard since updating to 13.2 (from 12.6.3), but had no issues with my APPro's. Auto-connect, noise cancelling... works perfectly. Haven't had any annoying WiFi issues since the early days of Monterey, though I use Ethernet mostly and WiFi is only ever temp enabled for AirDrop to function. (I'm on Intel)

I hope the IOS keyboard AI is improved too since it starts misssing keys thatI press ever y ti time I drink anothhrBeeR

Any word if this fixes that SMB issue?

Did not fix the SMB Problem on my M2 Pro Mac Mini. Appears to connect then Finder on the client machine hangs while "Loading..."

Downloading now to see if I can use Cox email with the Mail app again without it crashing immediately: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/13-2-and-mail.2378374/

Lagging behind with fixes for Monterey and Big Sur... not very nice

 

[nacinla]

Wondering whether this will fix my Apple Mail issue that's gone on for over a year. The "Move" drop menu no longer prompts with a remembered folder. Huge inconvenience.

 

[kryptticAZ]

Hmmm... I got an "unable to prepare update" error. It's always disconcerting when the update you're hoping will fix a bug has it's own bug!

let’s see what they screwed up this time around..

Please let this fix the dreaded SMB sharing problem.

If you have custom icons for the volumes you are accessing over SMB, try removing the custom icons, thereby restoring the icons to their defaults. That completely resolved the issue for me.

Yes, the system should be able to handle custom icons for shared volumes, and hopefully a fix will be issued. However, this workaround might get your SMB shares back up and running in the meantime.

It's weird seeing SMB problems since mine is fine. But I am using a raspberry pi as a SMB server. It does have custom icons for each volumes and it seems fine. Weird bug

They don't usually mess things up in the sub-minor releases. I've found the major unstable points have been the early minor releases. Don't quote me on this, but if anything goes wrong soon, it will be with 13.3, not 13.2.1.

 

[MistD]

Hopefully they fixed the crazy bug that hates connected external HDDs and wants to kill them on every system wake back from sleep.

It’s simply ludicrous at this point !
