Apple Releases macOS Sequoia 15.3.2

Does it fix home folder on external drives bug that was introduced with 15.3.1?

Beware this update enables Apple intelligence if you had it off.

Hmmmm. I was expecting that to happen -- because it has before -- but for me, it didn't. I updated last night, with it off, and this morning it was still off.

Hard to understand what triggers it (or doesn't).

What was the home folder bug in 15.3.1? I am using that on external drive and haven't had any issues.

Not for everyone. Though everyone should check after updating.

Correct. My 16" M1 Pro MBP did *not* switch AI back on after doing this update. It also did not after doing the 15.3.1 update.

Interesting, it didn't re-enable Apple Intelligence on my M1 Air. I've seen multiple reports of it re-activating on other machines though.

Under "Privacy & Security" in Settings, do you have "Apple Intelligence Report" turned off? I just noticed that setting the other day and turned it off on mine. If you turn off Apple Intelligence from the primary switch it does not seem to turn off the Apple Intelligence Report.

I had Apple Intelligence disabled on my M3Pro MBP but this report on and Apple Intelligence was re-enabled after the update.

I disabled this on my work laptop and my wife's M4 Mini, neither re-enabled Apple Intelligence after the update

All our "M" series macs stuck like this, even in safe mode or softwareupdate via terminal. Speed tests and internet in general loads fine. Something's off on Apple's servers.

Apple Intelligence was re-enabled on my M4 Mini. I've learned to check for that since the last update re-enabled it too. I'm finding the responses in this thread fascinating since I don't see a pattern why it gets re-enabled for some and not for others. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone update on Mac Air m2 yet ? How is performwnce?

 

[Sptzz]

Another slop update that doesn't fix any bugs that we actually need fixing lol

 

[dopeytree]

Anyone with a m3 macbook pro (18GB) got network problems?
Ping dropping connections then very slow then normal?

Vs iPhone 15 pro max is normal.

(same wifi network right next to each other)

Another undocumented feature sometimes called a bug in the oatmeal.

Yes, I own a M3 Macbook Pro (36GB RAM) and it was painfully slow to download for about an hour or so. Then it sped up and only took me a few minutes after that. It was like at 3AM, so I can't imagine the servers were being hit that hard at that hour. <shrug>

Other than that, everything went well.

What still surprises me is how long it takes to install such tiny updates. 2-3 reboots, and ages going through it. Compared to Win11 it actually feels ancient

I'm running latest version (15.3.2) on my mac m2. Everything is normal. Like no other noticeable changes

It seems that the home folder on external drive bug only affects some people, see the comments to this video:

For now I will wait until this is resolved.

It definitely fixed some graphics bug on my M4 Mini Pro.
