About 12 progress bars with no time indicators, sometimes ending somewhere in the middle, 10 reboots, 20 Settings notifications after login plus opening apps that weren't open before and three relaunches of Safari later... 😑

Comparison of MacOS 15.1 RC to previous MacOS 15.1 Beta 7

macOS 15.1 RC (24B82)
  • Safari Version 18.1 (20619.2.8.11.9)
  • System Firmware Version: 11881.41.5 (M1 based Macs)
  • Darwin Kernel Version 24.1.0: Thu Oct 10 21:05:14 PDT 2024; root:xnu-11215.41.3~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T8103 arm64
macOS 15.1 Beta 7 (24B5077a)
  • Safari Version 18.1 (20619.2.8.11.9)
  • System Firmware Version: 11881.41.5 (M1 based Macs)
  • Darwin Kernel Version 24.1.0: Thu Oct 10 22:07:16 PDT 2024; root:xnu-11215.41.3~5/RELEASE_ARM64_T8103 arm64
Apple Music/TV is still 1.5.1.24 , no change.

Notice how we won't have any chance of a RC2 because nothing really changed with the RC and beta 7.
That's interesting that kernel got reverted to a slightly older revision.

Looks like this is common: https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/Kernel

I just downloaded this in the UK. NO APPLE INTELLIGENCE.
Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.1 / macOS 15.1 is US English only, so you need to set your system and Siri language to English US to enable it... support for UK English and a few other English variants will be coming in 18.2 / 15.2 in December
 
I seriously hope Apple fixed the issues with Youtube notifications not being clickable. It's annoying when the notification comes up you then have to go find the video/live stream. In previous macOS versions you could click on the notification, it will take you straight to the content.
 
new rcs for the ventura and sonoma coming too

14.7.1 rc 4 build 23H222
13.7.1 rc 4 build 22H221

So that’s been the problem, the firewall
Not directly. Never got a time machine backup running to 100% even with firewall turned off, fixed mac address, no 3rd party security apps etc. Hoping the 15.1 update will fix this 💩
 
Firewall still causing disconnects

Same here. I always thought it's my VPN or Adguard or DNS settings until I found out it's the Firewall, what took very long. I have to allow all incoming connections or at least the two switches for automatically allow certain connections.

Normally everything worked with all incoming connections blocked. I'll try that again now.
 
Don't know if this is new to the latest update but Intelligence is now also working without changing the region settings, at least in Germany. Only the language has to be English (US) what I use anyway.
