Very weird.

I didn't get the update, so I re-installed the profile since so many mentioned that, and that downloaded a full 11 point something GB installer and did a complete reinstall of Monterey on my Mac...

...only it installed the Beta 6, which I already had... o_O :rolleyes:

And after that the Beta 7 showed up in Software Update, but refused to download, so I gave up and called it a night. (The releases are typically in the evening, local time.)

This morning, though, it downloaded nicely, but I had to go to work before I could install it.

Not really a big deal, just weird, as I said. :)

Please bear in mind this is like the bug fixed version of Big Sur. That's how i see it, and tbh, it's way more stable than big sur ever was. The new tech that they were supposed to introduce "universal control" isn't even in it yet, and it's beta 7, so this is just Big Sur 2.0.
So Montery in Beta is more stable than the most recent Big Sur version? I'm asking as I'm still on Mojave and was thinking about maybe upgrading to Big Sur before Montery is released.

What's the deal here as I was able to update on my iMac but not my M1 MBP. It says the software is up to date. Removing and reinstalling profile makes no difference.

I’ve noticed they are getting incredibly lazy and a lot of errors in their writing. I find myself using Reddit more than anything because at least it’s accurate, lol .
Agreed. My favorite part about MR remains the forums. The articles are predictable and repetitive. Reddit for the win.

Second day at the office (on a PC) so have to wait 'til I get home for this. That's a good number of hours to hope for Airplay bug-fix in Music!
Update: Excitedly did the update last night--and still can't play Music via Airplay. Has anyone else encountered this. If I recall, it only worked for one Monterey beta, like #2 or #3. I've filed multiple bug reports, and don't know what else to do. It's how I play my laptop's ripped music (with the Remote app on my iPhone) via Airport Express and my home audio. Very sad.

They could just have forums and I’d be happy with it. That’s really the benefit as Apple censors their forums if it doesn’t paint them to be perfect haha.
 
Still rocking Big Sur, and have honestly been trying to find something to get excited about with Monterey...

I am ok with stability and security updates, but just kinda waiting for release.
