Apple Seeds First macOS Sierra 10.12.1 Beta to Developers

I'd love it if my watch would actually open my iMac as promised (yes it's a late 2015 and I have all the latest devices with the latest software updates).
I had the same issue but there is a specific setting for siri input that worked.
Hope they fix the loss of connection to the original magic mouse on an iMac 2011. Every couple of minutes or movements I get a "connection lost" since installation of Sierra. After a while I can connect again but is v. irritating. And yes batteries are fresh.
Anybody lose previously saved emails in macmail after the installation of Sierra? My folder structure is there but the emails in the folders are gone. Mac Mail went through a migration upon first opening after installing Sierra yesterday. Just noticed today that the actual emails are missing.
For me, latest retina macbook 13" wont start fans under stress, crashing apps. Also trackpad is taking a lots of fake touches at left side.

Check the actual Mail store at ~/Library/Mail/V3/[hashed account folder name]/. (It is V2 for Mav, V3 for El Cap, not sure about Sierra yet.) You might have to drill down for a bit, the actual .emlx files are buried in hashed folders, in a Messages folder. Also, check the mod date of the folders. But I have seen this kind of issue in prior versions, going all the way back to 10.8 and 10.9. Basically Mail doesn't do its own heavy lifting to list messages, it relies on Spotlight. And there have been several really difficult (apparently) to pin-down bugs in Spotlight where caches get corrupted and just what you say is occurring happens. Personally, my belief is that a Spotlight message parser is getting tripped up by some weird character string/data embedded in a message, and then POOF! That Spotlight cache gets updated on Mail store migration. Apple is clueless, obviously, as this has been going on for YEARS!!
The "solution" I'd recommend, if you find actual mail messages under that folder hier, is to rebuild the Spotlight cache on that drive and try again. I've found that helps. But usually the issue will come back. Again. And again. And again. And again. (Good luck finding what message in your store is causing the corruption... Apple doesn't provide any sufficient debugging tools.) You can find Apple's Spotlight rebuilding KB via Google.
Not quite so (math joke about rational programmers not using irrational numbers much appreciated!): TeX and METAFONT are converging to Pi and e respectively (and reach those numbers when Donald Knuth passes away).

Are those points seriously correct? I.e., Sierra breaks LibreOffice and users can't turn off the autocloudification[tm] crap?
Exact same iMac here - mine works fine with Siri... Do you have any other mic's attached, or mic plug-ins installed ?
Is anyone else having issues with connected displays in the new OS?
My display which was fine under the last OS, is now shockingly bad and detail isnt as crisp. All text is bigger and Ive been through every setting and nothing corrects it. Far from happy Im probably going to have to clean install to go back to the previous OS.

Im glad you've posted this - i thought i was going mad! All my fonts and screen looks super big on my
2560 x 1440 and I'm really annoyed that everything is super big and not as crisp as it was under the last OS. (see what i did there?!)

"the exact font size" you want on the web has always been useless because one font's 12pt is the equivalent of another font's 15pt.
The new option Safari offers, to scale all web sites by some amount, like 1.15, IMHO ,works far better as a practical solution to the problem.
Hopefully a Photos app that (like all other Apple apps) SYNCS BETWEEN DEVICES!!!
What on earth is this 'every device different' nonsense??????

Seems like this is a very MINOR update......as I've seen nothing mentioned thus far (I know its early) as anything significantly improved.
That might work fine for you but it doesn't work for me. Setting the font at 22pt was perfect for me. Thankfully, there are other browsers that haven't become IE-apple flavored.
applying an artful blur or "bokeh"
Blur is not 'bokeh'. I hope this bokeh business doesn't become a meme of some sort. They could probably engineer artificial bokeh into the blur eventually so that it looks like it was taken with a 6 bladed aperture, that would be quite cool.
Sounds like you need to go furnature shopping for a new desk.

Oh man, your mention of FCP7 made me fire up my copy for the first time in over a year (I have it installed on my 2011 iMac - which I recently upgraded to Sierra). Seems to still work fine, but I haven't tested the log and capture. I've always used the log and transfer since all my cameras use SD cards.

I am running the official retail version of Sierra (I was part of the developer beta programme). I since changed my SYSTEM PREFERENCES -> APP STORE -> and changed "your system is set to receive pre-release..." to NO.
Since then that option no longer appears in the APP store.
However, in my updates the BETA for 10.12.1 is showing which is exactly what I do NOT want.
How can I disable this given I've already done the above.

For some reason disabling the "pre-release updates" setting in the App Store system preference isn't working. You can solve this by opening terminal and entering:
Code:
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURLThis will set Software Update back to using the standard non-beta catalog.
You, fine sir, are a legend. Don't let anyone ever tell you different. Legend I say.
It worked perfectly. Thank you
