Apple Releases Second Public Beta of macOS Monterey 12.4

[MacRumors]

Apple today provided the second beta of an upcoming macOS Monterey 12.4 update to its public beta testing group, with the update coming two weeks after Apple released the first beta and a day after Apple provided the second beta to developers.

Public beta testers can download the macOS Monterey 12.4 Monterey update from the Software Update section of the System Preferences app after installing the proper profile from Apple's beta software website.

According to Apple's release notes, ‌Universal Control‌ in the new iPadOS 15.5 and ‌macOS Monterey‌ 12.4 updates is not compatible with machines running macOS 12.3 or iPadOS 15.4, so Apple suggests that as a workaround, users should update their ‌Universal Control‌ devices to the new betas. No new features have been found in the macOS Monterey beta at this time.

No new features have been found in the macOS Monterey beta at this time.

Not really interested in new features. Would prefer a list of new bugs fixed instead.

Full Installers are available from Apple, too.

Has it fixed the USB issues yet?

My wife has our new MBP (so nice compared to my 2019, btw) but iPhones only synch on one port. Is that one of the USB issues you’ve seen?

 

[Yrmmont]

I don’t have USB issues. Guess I’m lucky ☺️!

What USB issues?

Hope that this update fixes 12.3 running quite hot on my 2017 iMac, noticed my system fan spinning up a lot more frequently under virtually no load.

 

[norbinhouston]

I'm not seeing it available yet. Is it rolling out later today?

It rolled out at least an hour and a half ago. That's when I got it.

All I want is a fix to the Quick Preview bug where after a while quick preview only shows a thumbnail instead of previewing it. This bug has been driving me nuts since Monterey was released and Apple should have fixed it by now!

Just had my first kernel panic ever on my M1 MBP on this release. Just running normal, low-CPU productivity apps.

It was weird to hear the fans spin up while it was dumping core. ?

Exact same thing happening for me. Had it spin up on the Desktop with nothing open at all sometimes.

Naaah what for, it’s the most advanced operating system in the world! (That can’t even sync iCloud)

No new features have been found huh. This doesn’t sound interesting at all. I hope this means the crack development team had finally realised refining the OS is way more important than adding gimmicky new features

OR...they could be focusing on refining macOS 13 Beta 1, in time for WWDC...you know

fix bluetooth issues that affected my porsche design mouse.

Maybe it's the porsche designed mouse that has issues? And maybe the porsche mouse designer should fix their driver?

Any word on whether it fixes the screen communication issues between the Mac Studio and Studio Display? It’s driving me crazy over here, and I’m not the only one: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253799673

It's not only Studio Display, I have to wake my LG 4K display twice before it stays on. It tries to come on the first time but goes back to sleep mode.
