Apple Seeds macOS Sequoia 15.1 Release Candidate
- Thread starter MacRumors

I will forget this "knowledge"No need almost zero chance you will see a different build because the RC and beta 7 parameters that I track are the same. As mention above majority of time the RC build is the same as the Public build.
RC2 was released today.
Maybe its for next weeks hardware? 24B83 vs 24B82
That's unlikely since it installs on any Mac that's compatible with Sequoia.
Who cares about 15.1 anyway, when you can already have 15.2 with an AppStore that doesn't allow downloads and updates because of a missing file. 🙈
But it affects only a small number of people, like me. I read im Apples own forums, that people aready had this with some 18.1 betas. Those official Apple forums are not good. I "never" (maybe there was one some time) saw an answer anywhere. Just questions.
I have often seen very helpful responses/answers on this forum - and have been thanked for responses I have made too. It seems that you have a rather biased perspective here.
YES!Anybody know if it fixes a bug where Time Machine backups fail if backing up to a NAS with the firewall turned on?

Then I guess this is the beginning of the end of macOS for me. I started using Linux since sequoia came out and broke everything and I’m surprised to find myself not missing macOS at all.
I already think of downgrading to an intel iMac from 2019 or 2020 or even older only because of APFS, something is very wrong with that. And I can't upgrade my boot drive. Also I need more RAM and not more CPU and GPU power.
If my 2011 iMac was able to boot from Thunderbolt I would use that one. But somehow it isn't and USB 2.0 is too slow.
My second display is 27" anyway so that would all fit much better.
Maybe even no Mac at all. But the I have to choose a good Linux distribution and there are so many and I am not good in making quick decisions.
I would even try Linux natively on my iMac, but the M3 iMac isn't supported yet and I don't use the MBP at the moment.
My external drives are permanently corrupted somehow, can't be ejected or when they can I get warned that they weren't ejected properly. Doesn't matter if it's an HDD or SSD and USB or Thunderbolt, connected directly or to a Dock or Hub. Always the same. Only that USB drives sometimes get ejected automatically, mostly when they are also powered by USB and TB drives never do that, even without external power source.
The Finder is having every day problems with simple tasks like copying, moving or renaming a file. Disk Utility says everything is fine with my internal drive.
The internal 1TB flash storage is much slower than an external 2 or 4 TB SSD in a Thunderbolt 4 enclosure, what I cloned both as a Startup Drive, but it doesn't get far in the progress bar when booting from there and with USB it's the same.
It feels like the internal drive is slowing down from day to day and it's only 6 month old.
Creating bootable installers never work with this Mac. I never managed to boot from anything external.
Updates take much more steps then with earlier versions of macOS and the security features what I don't need get more and more annoying, even if SIP, Gatekeeper and the Boot Security Utility (or however that thing is called) is all turned off or set to the most "insecure" setting.
It already started with the design change of Disk Utility and the introduction of SIP when I began to don't like macOS much less than before.
I started on Mountain Lion, was on High Sierra until 2023 on my 17" MBP from 2011. The 2017 16" had so many damages in 2022 that it got unusable with Flexgate finally and a completely dead battery from one day to another. Most of the time the battery wasn't even used.
And I only used it at home and it wasn't moved much. I rarely updated it. Maybe it was even still on Mojave. I already hated it from the beginning because of the keyboard.
So I missed many new features that came with version 11 and newer. And noticed that most things got worst in the last months with my new Macs. The first one came with Ventura and I only used it for consuming Youtube and such things.
The next one then arrived with Sonoma shorty before the Sequoia Betas started and I began using them like in the earlier days. I think I started with Yosemite betas and stopped with High Sierra. So I don't really know if Ventura or Sonoma are better or it's just beta problems.
But HFS was rock solid and APFS is just horrible. I don't want that anymore. I have to do more and more backups for the case something goes wrong with the drive. And as I said the internal drive is slowing down massively in a really short time.
I'll give it a last try with a complete wipe when there is a full installer of the RC or final 15.1 however I should do this without a bootable installer. What version is on my recovery partitiion is also a myth. It was long Sonoma and it changed very late in the betas to whatever version of Sequoia. With 15.2 everything got much worse. I can't even use the AppStore anymore.
