Apple Seeds Third Beta of macOS Monterey 12.1 to Developers

[cansuds]

NO issues have been fixed. on the contrary, there have been new problems.

I'm glad this isn't an "only me" issue as it was driving me nuts.

I imagine with most any issue it’s not just you but haven’t heard of any wide spread issue for m1s with updates. Mine always show up the second I check in preferences after being notified by mac rumors on my m1

Haha I imagine you mean none of the issues you care about have been fixed but something they didn’t release an update with 0 changes

Like what?

Weird it seems to for me. When just scrolling normally in the preview vs regular seems much smoother.

The video demonstrates the change made in the latest Safari TP. On the left is the latest Safari 15.1, where as on the right is the latest Safari TP Release 135.

I hope this video will resolve all of the confusion around the change introduced yesterday.

trackpad issues are unresolved. that's the biggest problem for me. i can't use the device. I don't have any expectations of innovation. my only wish is that my working devices do not break down.

I hope they fix the issues with third-party USB hubs.

It's not. It is literally not.

 

[Pearus]

oh wow didn't even know this was a thing, assumed my hub's chip was just incompatible with the new MacBook Pro I have. works in 2.0 mode but not 3.0...

 

[mcilwraith]

What issues are they? Glad I didn’t install this new macOS yet.

ive not had any issues backing up to time machine in Monterey. in fact its quicker than ever.

 

[MallardDuck]

I hope they fix the issues with third-party USB hubs.

Downloading now...fingers crossed!

 

[xgman]

Let's hope they're also aggressively fixing problems with Time Machine and memory leaks.

They never give any useful info on what real bugs they fix or don't. Just fluff stuff.

Why is safari still not 120hz scrolling when they advertised the new macs as supporting it!?

Are you reporting all these "issues" to Apple through all the available channels?

We all have been asking this...

 

[TechRemarker]

Beta fixes the picture SMS bug. So now you can once again send pictures to sms (green contacts). In the last beta could only send text messages to (green), blue messages were unaffected. Others on Reddit noted the same issue.

 

[dogslobber]

Does it fix the trackpad swipe with three fingers when menu bar is shown? That's a rather annoying bug.

Edit: not fixed.

I never hard this bug until...this beta 2.

Because apple just doesn’t care anymore they release half backed products now

 

[cansuds]

yes I did report. I have been reporting since non-public beta versions.
you don't have any information that I don't know about.

Don't want to jinx anything but Time Machine has also been fine for me on 2020 M1 MacBook Air.

 

[cansuds]

to have new problems in the most up-to-date form.

 

[MLVC]

Well it was introduced in beta 2 I think (didn't have it before) and not fixed in beta 3. Here's hoping for beta 4.

 

[dk831]

Seems like a restore should be fine... I'm not doubting others are having issues of course, but I didn't have any major issues.

It did take forever to do the first backup (I setup my new MacBook as new instead of restoring from Time Machine.) And by forever I mean days and days maybe a week or two, I forget. This is to a network Time Machine drive connected to another Mac but still I wouldn't expect it to take more than overnight. Two days max.

There is hope for us with issues! ?

Tap-to-click appears even less reliable than the previous beta.

4-finger swipe between spaces/screens is still not working 100%. Sometimes, it swipes the wrong way! It's still only an issue for me when I have apps zoomed to full-size (which I usually do).

Bluetooth (which I don't use) was turned on; same as today's latest iOS beta. This happens regularly on installing a beta so I'm used to it.

Holy ****, they need to fix memory leaks bad. m1 iMac that force quits safari and pages every 2-3 hours is really starting to piss me off. I don't care how long it takes to get universal control anymore, just fix the goddamn memory leaks.

A good recent article

How Safari’s tab groups consume memory

Tab groups make it easy and convenient to have dozens of pages open at the same time in Safari. But that comes at a price – they could run your Mac low on memory.
