Apple Releases macOS Tahoe 26.4.1 With MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Wi-Fi Fix

[MacRumors]

Apple today released macOS Tahoe 26.4.1, a minor update to the macOS Tahoe operating system that came out last September. macOS Tahoe 26.4.1 comes two weeks after Apple launched macOS Tahoe 26.4.

Mac users can download the new software by opening up the System Settings app and navigating to the Software Update section.

According to Apple, macOS Tahoe 26.4.1 addresses an issue that could cause the M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro models to fail to join 802.1X Wi-Fi networks when using content filter extensions.

Update: According to several readers, the update also fixes an issue experienced by Intel-based Mac users on macOS 26.4 that resulted in broken customized folder icons.

Not showing for me

From now on I'm going to consider the term unspecified bug fixes to either mean:

a) so many we'd rather not list them
b) so bad we'd rather not admit them
c) both of the above

 

[boswald]

2GB on M5 MacBook Air, in case anyone cares.

 

[capamac]

Still sticking with Sequoia. 🙂

Not showing up for a M4 MBP. I did just upgrade from 26.3.1 to 26.4, so wondering if there is a cool down window.

forced to use tahoe on my neo, oh well

 

[cwintermeyer]

No update available for my M4 Air running 26.4 after checking multiple times all morning, but it just showed up.

 

[jbachandouris]

Wow. It finally showed up then disappeared. Something about not being able to download Rosetta.

 

[FlyingToasterStrudel]

Presumably, this fixes the widely-reported iCloud sync bug (introduced with *OS 26.4), which was also fixed with yesterday’s iOS and iPadOS 26.4.1 update…

 

[B/D]

No updates for watchOS and tvOS? Perhaps tomorrow.

 

[xXRainKingXx]

Do the quick look and the restart/shutdown pop up animations still lag?

I think a lot are the "security updates":
d) so dangerous if we disclose them lots of people who don't update immediately will be vulnerable.

Urgh so it's not just me then.

How on earth can Apple be OK with rolling out a version of the OS where there's lag on the 'shop window'?

Setting up new iPad today, 26.4.1 released whilst setting up. Failed to transfer data from iCloud, so had to erase and start again.
This was the keyboard layout, only after the second time as the first time it only showed 1/4 of the keyboard zoomed.

Absolutely mint system. Glad it’s so polished.

Yep. M4 Mac as well.

I actually downgraded to Sequoia so don't have to deal with laggy animations anymore, was just curious if they ever fixed it.

I have seen it the keyboard shrink the other way on iOS 26.4.
Instead of compressed from the sides, it was compressed from the top. 🤣


On the other hand, there is no updates for Sequoia as of right now.

What's the difference between ABC and ABC?

I have VM "farm" that contains a good number of Linux distributions. The updates I get there, especially to stuff like WebKit, are often a good preview of what's to come on macOS.. 🙂

Apple's Enterprise release notes reveal that this resolves “an issue where MacBook Air with M5 and MacBook Pro with M5 Pro or M5 Max failed to join 802.1X Wi-Fi networks while using content filter extensions.” Otherwise, this update has no published CVE entries, and no general user release notes.

Makes me suspect Apple is vibe-coding their software now.

Who cares.

Well there was that “Apple runs on Athropic” article.

Apple ‘runs on Anthropic,’ says Mark Gurman - 9to5Mac

Mark Gurman is known as being well connected inside Apple, and he just shared some interesting comments about Apple’s reliance on Anthropic.

It could also mean:
(d) an AI suggested it would be better to code function F this way rather than what we did before, we did not really understand the suggestion, but we thought "let us find out" we hit the replace key; please let us know what you think!


However, at this point, I would be more interested in a "List of bugs introduced" by each release than in the detail of what gets (probably wrongly) "fixed"...
