anyone else having issues with video playing in browser after this update? No videos will play for me in safari or chrome at all.
 
I am definitely not upgrading to Tahoe. The new GUI is ridiculous, and I'm not taking any chances with it.
It's not that terrible if you "fix it" with the right Accessibility settings (that I happened to be using for OS 18):
Reduce transparency, increase contrast, differentiate without color, etc.

I was pretty hard on iOS 7 and Yosemite. Those at the intro were AWFUL.

Tahoe's GUI isn't as bad as some make it out once you de-genius Apple's stock presentation...

Apple today released macOS Tahoe 26.0.1, the first update to the macOS Tahoe operating system that came out earlier this month.

macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 can be downloaded through the Software Update section of the System Settings app.

According to Apple's release notes, macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 addresses a bug that was preventing Mac Studio machines with an M3 Ultra chip from being upgraded to macOS Tahoe. A failed hardware check was causing macOS Tahoe installation attempts to be aborted, with Mac Studio users ultimately stuck on macOS Sequoia.

Mac Studio users who were unable to install macOS Tahoe should now be able to.

During an attempt to upgrade my M3 Ultra Studio’s Sequoia 15.7 to Tahoe 26, I encountered a significant issue. After extensive troubleshooting, I ultimately experienced a flashing amber power light, necessitating the use of the DFU tool for recovery. I visited my local Apple Store, where they kindly performed the DFU Restore process. This procedure successfully installed the Tahoe 26 on my M3 Ultra Studio, resulting in the erasure of my internal SSD. However, I was fortunate to have backed up my user data, allowing me to resume daily use of my M3 Ultra Studio within an hour of returning home. Having an Apple Store within a few miles of my home allowed me to have this issue resolved quickly.

Still haven't fixed that you actually can't see the addressee in iMessages when Mac OS 26 goes into night mode. Really stupid "transparent" BS.

I haven’t experienced any issues with Tahoe other than the unnecessarily large corner radius for windows.
Can we all agree that this corner radius is awful. Can everyone collectively leave feedback on it? We already have rounded corners and that's fine. But we're fast approaching squircle territory for all the windows. When does it end? At circles?!

Updated my M1 Mini and now can't choose a folder of pictures as Wallpaper source. Brilliant Apple. Oh, and turning on Filevault by default isn't going to cause some serious issues for unwitting users. Jeepers creepers Tim Apple, we're still a month away from Halloween.

Worst MacOS ever. I installed it. It changed some of my settings with regard to logging in etc. It went into sleep mode and my task bar disappeared. I'm guessing this is some sort of security "feature".
And don't get me started on all the curves and the lack of launchpad.
Needless to say I went back to Sequoia. At this point I may eventually go back to Windows. Did I really say that?
Not happy.

It is very aweful. And even more that they didn't update all of their apps to the same corner radius. Like Pages is still looking "normal".
Adding to the corner radius of the corner itself they add overlay panels with a different radius. Which looks so strange and aweful.

And then they use round icons that aren't aligned within their round shape.

This is... beyond ugly.
 
Question for someone with more knowledge about this stuff than I do (zero)..

Despite the multiple betas before Tahoe release.. no-one picked up on this install Bug? Not one single person at HQ even tested Tahoe on a M3 Ultra prior official release? I find that absolutely bewildering.

This isn't some backyard company .. this is a multi trillion dollar company.

Forget a small visual bug or a spelling mistake.. the thing DOESNT INSTALL. Wtf?
 
I have a macbook m4 15 pro and an external monitor with 5k connected, do you experience lag when you click on the date/clock in the top right? When notifications pop up from the right and lag? :/
