Unspecified bug fixes - I don’t like the tone of that. Please just be honest on what has been fixed Apple!

Downloading right now on my 2019 MacBook Air.

Edit: Back up, took about 45 minutes. Everything still running smoothly.

2.52 Gb – hopefully it fixes a thing or two

Wonder if we'll ever get a fast updating macOS.

 

[dannyyankou]

So Monterey beta 5 will probably come tomorrow

The Sealed System Volume, introduced in Big Sur, is a factor in the size. While the SSV has substantial merit, it also restricts how small a "delta" update can be. This could be a minor patch, but one is still faced with this size of a minimum download.

I'm sure it didn't fix the glaring Finder issue where items don't update in view until you back out of a folder and open it again. Someone please tell me this is fixed in Monterey betas...

So Monterey beta 5 will probably come tomorrow

Here's hoping.

The update is available to Download now, currently updating my MacBook 2015 and Mac mini m1 simultaneously. The update is 2.54 GB for my MacBook 2015 and is 3.45 GB for Mac mini m1.

LOL, Apple's "seconds" should be called "minutes" when preparing or installing the update.

 

[cal6n]

Not experiencing any bugs, but any bug fix is a good bug fix, and whatever size it, I don’t care.

stuff 99% of us doesnt even know exist. all not "security" related bugs will remain

 

[elementalwingma]

Hmmm mine is stuck at the login screen…I have a bad feeling

EDIT: False alert all is well

 

[DrwMDvs]

if only Apple made it easy to manage software updates on large fleets. Running a unix command in Apple Remote Desktop basically does nothing!

I'm running in root: sudo softwareupdate -iaR

basically, it'll download the update but never try to install it. that command only seems to work if a user is already logged in.... I'm running this on 2017 (pre-T2 chip) iMacs.

Installs as 11.5.2 (20G95) for those who still care about these things.

I get that, but some people have issues and have been working with Apple support obtuse and they deserve to know any bugs actually have been fixed…

I'm at 11.4 on three Macs. Did I miss some updates? Wont' know for a few days what it shows up with since I'll wait to upgrade.

Yes - you're behind by three updates: 11.5, 11.5.1, 11.5.2

 

[iAssimilated]

I agree it would be nice to know what they fixed in this release, but I am installing it regardless.

 

[Carlos51]

This update did fix something on my side.
My brand new Mac mini M1 would not connect via wifi in the Finder with my iPhone and/or iPad, despite having done all the trusting required.
iPhone/iPad would connect via lightning cable/usb-c cable but as soon as I disconnected them they would disappear from the Finder left panel. Before you guys ask, I had checked the option of connecting via wifi.
Did the update half an hour ago and boom! both my iOS devices now connect via wifi.

Ive had some odd lag since 11.5.1 on a very fast intel mac. I wonder if this will resolve it. Like little lag hiccups every few minutes that began with that update.

 

[SRQrws]

Hope they fix the M1 iMac issue with connecting to Homepods via Airplay after waking from sleep.

Has anyone else noticed that their OneDrive badges on files and folders are missing after installing this update?
