Great, now I'm being bombarded with Sound Recognition notifications saying there's shouting in my house when I'm watching television.

Nope, no shouting. Volume isn't even loud.

Still getting these, and a lot of other Sound Recognition events.

Before this patch: 0 since 16.4.1. ZERO. Total, all time. Nada.
After this patch: 15+ in the hours after the patch.
 
Wish they would release press releases with security updates to fully describe what the emergency is. Important for the public to read the threats out there.
If Apple fully described the nature of every security update as soon as a fix became available, bad guys could get a head start and target unpatched users.

Apple always detail security fixes eventually, but only after a period of time has elapsed that gives users a good chance of patching the problem. For the great majority of users it's enough to know that an important security problem exists and there's a fix for it.
 
yeah i got fedup with that nonsense also ... just update your phone by going into beta mode and it'll bypass it
 
How do you mean? How can we even connect our iPhones or iPads to the Ethernet? You mean cellular? Either way, as long as the widget can get Internet, it should normally be ok.
Since I obviously know that iPhones and iPads can't "natively" connect to ethernet, that must mean my Mac computer is what I was talking about. But more specifically, the "My Location" doesn't get any info, I had to add my town as a second entry, that does get info but obviously the "My Location" only works when my Mac is on wifi.

And the weather widget still doesn't work if you are on ethernet, only when on wifi.

In my experience this is a pretty pervasive problem across most of Apple’s 1st party apps. Certainly on iPad anyway. Even iMessage doesn’t work properly over ethernet. Total amateur hour.

iPad most definitely can. I’m using ethernet right now. It just doesn’t work properly in half of their own apps.

After updating yesterday, my (formerly) rock solid MBP M2Max locked up & rebooted twice this morning while sitting idle; (WindowServer EXC_CRASH/abort for bad display update). Good times.

I checked iTunes in Mojave and it does not see the security update, it said my iPhone was up-to-date on 16.4.1:rolleyes:
 
Also don't install RSR update for those running OpenCore Patcher. They're working on it. :rolleyes:

Not very "rapid" when it doesn't work. I'm very much connected to the internet.
Well the reøeas of the reponse was rapid, the rollout might not be due to thar\t bug. tph i did not notice it until yesterday, so either Ive been lucky, or apple have allredy fixed the issue, or it might just be that it only effected a small number of people
 
Hmm, after this update Apple Mail on my iMac and MacBook Air got issues. My mail is just stuck in the outbox folder! And I have many email addresses. Some are sent instantly, some need almost 10 minutes, and some even many hours.

Using Gmail, iCloud and custom SMTP. The same with all of them.

Does anyone experience something similar?

So when the next update comes along is this rapid security update removed automatically, or do we remove it? I like to update via Finder so it gets the whole update not a delta, not sure if you would remove it first or what really?
 
Just a PSA, not sure if it’s been mentioned already, but I installed this on Ventura on my Mac mini 2014 with OpenCore Legacy Patcher and it failed to reboot, had to reinstall and recover from a TM backup.

There is a notice on the website that if you are using OpeCore Legacy Patcher to not install the security update. They said to reboot into Safe mode to reinstall the patches etc.

If only I'd seen that last night! 😅 Never mind, that'll teach me for updating without checking first.

So, they sent a "rapid response" security update via the normal update process (System Settings > General > Software Update) with no warning about potential issues... And they posted THOSE warnings on the Apple website? Tell me how that's convenient and/or correct. Timmy and his minions screwed the pooch on this one.

I was always the first to update .
Now I'm the last when I hope they have patched the errors that multiply every times 🙄
