Why does the Mac never get the wallpapers included in the iOS and iPadOS releases? Not much of a leap to get from an iPad size wallpaper to a Mac desktop wallpaper surely.
Got a tip for us?

A .1 update for THAT? Apple can’t even get basic version numbering right these days. Just oust Timmy already and get Musk on board for some real innovative thinking.
Still hasn't fixed the weird bug that shows a very low storage being used, but down below it shows way more space being used. For example, the bar says 50gb out of 512 being used...but down below, it says 40gb of apps, 45gb of documents, etc....Way more hard drive space actually being used but bar visual is completely wrong.
Nor did they fix the Applications bug in the side bar..Just installed it hoping they read bug reports, but its obvious they don't. Seems to work fine as of now
I've been having a heck of a time with external drives since Ventura. I haven't updated to 15.5 yet, but I isn't see any documentation regarding this.
I'm surprised the mods haven't removed the extraneous and unnecessary warfare. 🙅♂️
You just don't get it, or at least from my perspective... and that's fine. Or perhaps you do and don't care. I never once stated that Apple needs to parent my children; that's my job. However, when the tools that my children have in front of them are readily available to many of their peers and can be easily abused, that's where many of us need to speak up. Nothing more, nothing less.
As I mentioned, there is ample evidence to show that I am not alone in this, and this has been an issue for many years that remains unaddressed. Your situation appears to have been different, so kudos to you. This is not a one-way street, so please have empathy and respect for others who voice this concern. Take a moment to see it from my perspective and that of many others in similar circumstances.
That will only happen when both Apple and the EU get over themselves.
It is weird. I went to South Africa on holiday a month ago, screen mirror worked perfectly down there, still with my Belgian Apple ID account. Back in Belgium; sorry, screen mirror not available in your region. So this begs the question; how are they actually 'policing' this? Why should they care where I am when I want my devices to 'talk' to each other, off the public internet?
Well it might be one bullet point for consumers but over in What's new for enterprise in macOS Sequoia there were quite a few things that needed to be fixed:
Yay - have been spared in the past, but this upgrade bricked my MBP M1 Max:
I really hope they fixed the wifi-drop every 40-45min i have on my mbp m3 after upgrading to Sequoia !!!!!!
Wondering if it’ll blow out my data volume again like the previous release.
Weird thing it told me my Time Machine back up was corrupt, I boot into Mojave and do a check disk and it says it’s fine, I boot back to Sequoia and it says the disc is corrupt, formatted and did another back up, hopefully it’ll hold.
Did they dumb down disc utility?

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread but I have a question for you experts. I was trying to fix an MS Outlook window sizing issue on a Macbook Pro. I went to the upper left where the red, yellow and green dots are clicked on the green and then there was a dropdown which said full screen and some other stuff. I accidentally chose something like "move everything to the left of the screen".
Now the main display is totally black and the only thing showing is the dock. No menu bar at the top. If I click on any app in the dock, it opens briefly and then quickly moves to the left off the screen. How can I get out of this mode? I am even unable to restart or shutdown the machine.
I would rather not hold down the power button to shut it down and I am not certain that if I did it would not come back the same way.
Any ideas guys. This is really annoying. I hope I accurately described what I did/chose, because it happened so quickly.
What a PITA due to my heavy handedness.
By the way, only using one monitor, the macbook display.... Is this a Stage Manager thing?
Thanks!

I've been running all the betas and have never had an issue with wifi on my M3 MBP. No matter with wifi I've connected to. It's been rock steady. Maybe have a chat with a Genius in store if you're near one? At least it will be another wifi network to check it against.
It's weird it's every 40-45 minutes though.
Since MacOS 15.4 I have had major issues with airdrop, Universal Clipboard, and any continuity feature. I have submitted bug reports multiple times and they haven’t addressed them. Anyone else experiencing this?
It’s been a real buzzkill for productivity. I was used to being able to copy something from my iPhone or iPad and just paste on my Mac. Can’t even use my iPhone camera for conference calls. Wish they would fix these major bugs!

FYI
Today, I ran the software update on my M3Pro MBP, and downloaded 15.5. J left my computer to do other things, and came back to start up screen asking me to input my region.
I inputted where I am, and in then asked me how I wished to set it up, without any options to ignore etc.
After a few attempts, I just went with it, and set it up as new.
After restarting, the old username was offered to login, the then the new one!
As I store everything in the cloud, I’ve just gone ahead and decided to clean install it from scratch.
I’ve done last of updates without issue, but not sure if it’s me, or something else.
The other bizarre thing was , erase all contents and setting me came up with an error message saying not supported!

Last sequoia update 15.3 whacked my data volume and had to do a format and reinstall and Time Machine restore. Make sure you have a good backup before installing.
Yeah, regular TM backups, but whether restore works is of course another question… Have plenty of other Macs at home, but none on Sonoma or later (except the bricked one) so I can’t attempt a recovery for a few days. Luckily, this isn’t my daily driver since a couple of months back. First upside of getting that WinDos 11 work machine I guess.
