Did that a few times to no avail. Regardless, about an hour later the update showed up (which is what I was expecting).
"our Music app has performance issues across all platforms, so we really buckled down, dug into that gigantic treasure chest of ours, and threw money at great talent until they cleaned it up and made it super efficient and not make it break down and cry just because you tried searching."
i dont see that line anywhere am i not reading the notes properly.

What ? Now you can browse your recently added music as far as your very first song added just like before? If yes, this alone make this update awesome for me lol
That sucks... I heard issues with other Thunderbolt docks as well; who would have thought a Software Update breaks docking stations' functionality? They really should address this ASAPAs bad as ever with my Pegasus2 R6. wake..sleep....wake...rimse and repeat until rnclosure was no longer accessible.

Enhanced autofill is Apples new technology for bogging down intel and M1 macs CPU cycles to make those users upgrade to the latest Apple Sillycone
Doesn’t seem like they fixed any of the major issues in Sonoma (crashes, slow external drive access, print issues, and more). Overall one of the worst OS releases. Apple’s too obsessed with giving us “features”, but never takes the time to make sure everything is working.
I’m setting up a brand new m2 mac mini 8/256. It immediately suggested updating to Sonoma 14.2.
It got to this point:
“Preparing macOS Sonoma 14.2…
About 5 minutes remaining”
That was stuck there, no kidding, at least 30-35 minutes.
Finally a dialogue box appeared saying the computer will restart in 60 seconds to install the update.
But at the same time a whole ‘nother page appeared urging me to download and install a 14.2 update! Ok… (btw. this exact thing happened on my MBA today, I had to ignore the duplicative update urging and manually restart a couple of times before the Apple logo appeared and the installation progress bar.).
Meanwhile on the mini the countdown went to zero and the dialogue box disappeared and no restart. I waited awhile and when it became clear that nothing was happening, I restarted manually.
After a lot of black screen autorestarts/Apple logo/progress bar, it finally got to the desktop and I checked to make sure the About showed 14.2.
Not exactly a smooth process, but at least it worked, YMMV./shrug/

This sounds like something re your computer such as an over full disk or a disk which is in the process of giving up the ghost. Make sure that you have good backups at this time would be my main advice.
The Battery widget is still not working correctly. In the bluetooth tray icon my apple Magic Keyboard is present and reporting battery level. In the widget it is missing completely. In the bluetooth try icon my Logitech mx keys correctly identifies as a keyboard, but in the battery widget it identifies as a mouse. Where is the battery widget getting its information? surely it should be the same source as the bluetooth tray icon?
14.2 is bugged!
Scroller SDK is still bugged causing imaging applications to crash out, this includes Lightroom and Capture One
Tethering via USB which is ctritical to some peoples workflow is now broken in Lightroom and Capture One
Hopefully Adobe has spoken to the right people in Apple because this does need a fix pretty quickly.

Does anyone else see "IMDPersistenceAgent" and "imagent" running with ~10% CPU since the update? The former seems to be worse than the latter. From what I can find they're related to message/address book syncing as well as FaceTime.
Rebooting hasn't helped and the "Sync now" button in iMessage is indeed greyed out... But they're not using any network?

I've essentially given up and have begun the switch to SSD enclosures (OWC 4M2), at least on my M1 Mini.
The Pegasus2 is on a 2020 iMac. On the Mini, there are no sleep/wake/eject issues with the 4M2. Maybe I should swap the R6 to the Mini and SSD to the iMac and see what happens (eg. the problem could be an issue with Intel Macs vs Apple Silicon).
