Apple Releases macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 With Bug Fixes

[killhippie]

I updated to 15... that's the hint there was another number, it seems Apple dont have there GUI sorted to show hidden numbers after the dots. 18.0 was just that without the hidden hint, although it did tell you underneath the update. Seems to have helped with a few issues, running well on my M2 Pro mac Mini Pro that I wont be updating to a toy puck after only a year of owning this one, which does all I need it to at this point. I'll be on the M27 SoC route I think, as I gave this one plenty of ram and a nice fast 1TB SSD. Also I wont loose USB C ports for my APC UPS with an adaptor as my 1000 watt smart UPS only has USB 1.1 ports.

When I first looked about an hour or so ago, I had a red dot indicator meaning there is an update.But no update actually available.

And just had an alert:

But update still not available.

 

[manofthematch]

is the vpn / firewall problem fixed in this update ?

For me, it is not fixed. Firewall cannot be configured properly and has to be disabled.

Come on, Apple, what's wrong with you? This bug is so obvious.

I guess I'm reinstalling 15.0...

if you press on info it will show the 1 .... and 1.42gb is only the new patch/fix.

for me M2 Max updated and working until now without an issues. ill report then back if I find anything.

After extensive testing, I can say that at least my DNS/Firewall problems appear to be fixed.

However, the GUI settings page for configuring the firewall is still broken, I had to again configure everything via the CLI /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw.

My VPN problems, however, are not fixed -- it is still possible that the VPN server of my university just "doesn't know" yet, how to communicate with a Sequoia installation.

Another problem with "jumping terminal icons" in the Dock is also not yet fixed ...

However, my system is finally usable again. I take this as a small win.

is the firewall issue fixed

Yes, confirmed by Jamf.

 

[thespyder]

The firewall issues seem improved for me too. I enabled it in the UI and apps can now connect, although I still have a stack of app allow/block entries that I can't remove.

Does this mean I won't get repeated warnings about signing into iMessage on my screen?

Yes, if you sign in to Messages.

I "only" have a 2018 Mini (that still cost 2500 when bought...nowhere is the destruction of value as visible as with those...). I really doubt I need this.
I'm still on Sonoma and will update once Sequoia is at maybe 15.2 or 15.3.

The iPhone (XR) is also still on iOS 17. Though I doubt they'll issue updates for that much longer.

I can see, I can see! Do You see? I don't see...

Who in their right minds releases major, albeit routine, product updates on a Friday???? That's just tempting the Fates for incidents/drama.....

 

[rumagent]

Really hope they have fixed it so we can use a VPN without breaking messages.

Sequoia 15.0.1 just decided I needed a new mac address right after updating, despite having it configured as "fixed" for this network

Not helpful when I'm using DHCP assignment based on Mac address

Shortcuts that work fine on my iPhone and iPad still won't fire on my Mac.

Hopefully this fixes my spotlight constantly indexing at 50-60% CPU

Why does everyone ask if their particular issue is fixed when that issue is not mentioned in the release notes and is not blathered about in general? Magic?

Apple doesn't always document all fixes.

It was released Thursday in California.

 

[Jay-Jacob]

That annoying. After update my Mac and now I cannot see my desktop external hard drive anymore. I can't see it in finder or disk utility like it doesn't exists. Power cable plugged in and drive got light on and all cable defo plugged in correctly. It was there before I updated Mac.

Did anyone else suffer from insane keyboard typing lag with 15.0? If so, is it fixed in this update?

 

[ninecows]

Plus our team had a MS Teams audio drop out bug that appeared with 15.0 and disappeared with 15.0.1. Not saying it’s related… I hope it also fixes the “have to restart and enable/disable wifi 3 times to connect” bug.

 

[raindogg]

Can they fix Apple Music skipping the intro to songs or general air play?

Because Apple consistently refuses to admit bugs and include the fix in the release notes.

 

[ai-pdn]

The firewall config pane is still broken. It does not remember changes for incoming connections, apps cannot be removed, and apps that have been uninstalled are present in the top section (Apple apps). Broken A F.

 

[Unity451]

Anything on fixing network issues?
