Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of Upcoming macOS Catalina 10.15.5 Update to Developers

[bingefeller]

Does it fix the popping and rumbling audio issues?

 

[Hessel89]

YES! They fixed it in Beta 3 and it remains fixed in this one as well.

Actually this does fix the power management bug that caused machines to crash during transition from standby to sleep/deep sleep. This has been extensively tested. And it specifically relates to the bug that was introduced / exacerbated by 10.15.4.

really? I'm running Beta 4 today & I still get reports like this:

{"caused_by":"bridgeos","macos_version":"Mac OS X 10.14.6 (18G5027)","os_version":"Bridge OS 4.5 (17P55284b)","macos_system_state":"sleep","incident_id":"E1B0AD26-CF52-4F69-9A0A-978842C7F35C","timestamp":"2020-05-12 10:24:10.00 +0000","bug_type":"210"}

Maybe this differs per Mac model? Or might my Mac just have a hardware defect?

You're running 10.14.6, not 10.15.5 beta 4.

You're running 10.14.6, not 10.15.5 beta 4.

That's right. I originally responded to someone asking about a Mojave fix.

 

[Jeff from New England]

I'm new to the forum. I recently upgraded my mac mini to Catalina 10.15.4, and since then, it runs much slower, with spinning beachball frequently. In addition, the processes

nsurlsessiond
trustd
launchd
syslogd

run constantly and are consuming a large part of the CPU usage.
I am not a programmer, just an average user. I've done all of the easy fixes that I found on searching the internet except entering code into Terminal, which is beyond my comfort level. Shouldn't this be a fix from Apple for all users. I'm sure others have encountered this.

I'm still running Mojave, but I'm curious, and wonder if Catalina is that bad. Seems to me that Catalina is full of bugs and problems. Is it that bad, or is it just a perception from reading news and forum comments?

I jumped on it a couple months ago from High Sierra, and have had zero problems. Found the increased security permissions popups slightly annoying, but those go away with time. Only gripe I have is a few games won't run due to being 32-bit, but that's not a big deal to me.

I think I solved it on my 16" MacBook Pro.

-Turned off PowerNap for both Battery and Power Adapter in Energy Saver Preferences
-Turned off Put Hard Disks to Sleep when Possible Energy Saver Preferences
-Entered Recovery Mode, ran First Aid in Disk Utility
-Entered Recovery Mode and performed a clean reinstall of Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4
-Installed Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5 Public Beta 4

No crashes for two days now. Fingers crossed.

 

[emulajavi]

No.

Back in the days when I thought Apple actually read Feedbacks, so almost a year ago when the first Catalina beta came out, I reported this. It's been ignored ever since. The bug is still there.

Basically, the smart album should be renamed to "Is not, and never ever has been, in an album". If a photo is ever in an album which you then delete, the photo will never show in a "not in any album" smart album. if you delete an individual photo from an album then it works, but deleting al album doesn't properly clear the membership from the photo (and hence the smart album doesn't pick it up).

This won't get fixed. There are also many bugs in Photos related to metadata (IPTC, EXIF) that haven't been fixed.

I hope they eventually fix it. the same library on earlier versions of macOS it works correctly

I'm finally stable across my eco-system (2017 iMac, 2012 MBPr, 2012 MM, Apple Watch Series 3, HomePod(2), HomeBridge Applications (not apples, but I have a lot of HomeKit connected devices via Homebridge), iPhoneX, iPad Pro 10.5 ... I struggled for 1 year getting all sorts of issues figured out / diagnosed ...

I've disabled auto-update on all my devices ... my next update will be on 10.16.XXXXXX when WWDC releases 10.17 beta

I do not trust apples software QA/QC anymore

$3000 of headache!!!
