I’m an electrician, and I could definitely see myself writing out formulas to calculate pipe fill/overcurrent/etc.

Apple needs to completely overhaul its Mark Gurman.
Noticed this this weekend. I wanted to import / backup 16k photos of my sisters iPhone to my M1 Pro MBP but no luck! It just didn’t do anything after clicking import, acting as if I didn’t just click on it. Then I tried it with the built in camera import app on Mac but no luck wither. Throws an error after like 2k photos and ejected the iPhone.
Moments like these make me miss a simple drag and drop option on iOS devices. I ended up not being able to backup her photos 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for the suggestions, but it still doesn’t fix the fact that the included calendar app needs updating desperately.
When I try exporting my Photos library, I have to break the exports to increments of about 2500-3000 photos each. If I don't, I will get crashes, sometimes after something like this:
What's really frustrating is that your experience and my experience don't even involve editing the photos. It's simply importing or exporting original photos. It really shouldn't be that hard.
I had previously thought one of the reasons Apple moved from iPhoto to Photos was to be better able to manage large libraries, but perhaps not.
We can always count on its bugs will be overhauled with some new ones.
Apple stock apps shouldn't need to wait for a new iOS version to receive major updates or fixes. OS updates should deliver new features and hardware utilization not shuffle/consolidate some buttons around and call it new.
How can they improve a Mail app that already does everything it needs to do? Is it change for change's sake?
Agreed. The most annoying one in my opinion is the notification bubble telling me I have unread mail with absolutely no unread mail. I can never tell if it’s trying to download one from the mail server and hasn’t yet, or it just takes forever to update the mail I just read. Just infuriating to see a bubble saying I have 3 unread mail and absolutely nothing in the unread mail or all inboxes folders. It does eventually update, but if I just read the mail why does it take 5 min to update the notification bubble? So annoying.
Agreed! We already know that they can issue individual app updates. They do it with Safari Tech Preview every month. And I recall one standalone "emergency" update to the Mail app (???) way back when.
Come on Apple. Let's see your stock apps separated from OS updates. This is overdue.
I don’t know about new functionality, but update it with bug fixes would be nice.
I do agree with this. I have 12 mail accounts set up in Mail and sometimes need to quit the app and relaunch it for it to load the contents of a message.
I don't have issues with the notification badge, just the body of messages not always loading. Figured it is the remote server not serving up the body.
But will we finally get audible NOTIFICATIONS OF MISSED CALLS?
I have canceled my Fantastical subscription and switched to Calendar to save money, and man, I really think that Calendar a bad app. Usually Apple software is very intuitive to me, but the way they designed Calendar just doesn’t make sense to my brain.
Do a repair on your library. Sounds like something is borked. Had that once and it went away after doing this...

In Photos on your Mac, repair your library if you experience problems with photos.
No, this has been an issue for many years. I would still get this problem after repairing the library, and even after starting a new library on a different machine. This is an inherent problem with Photos.Do a repair on your library. Sounds like something is borked. Had that once and it went away after doing this...

Lockdown Mode is still incomplete: 3 Major Apps missing:
Mail + Contact + Calendar <---- those 3 are NOT End to End Encrypted.
Why?
Since the EU changes, Safari Users are traceable.

I have >1 TB and >60000 files. It's running on an M1 Mac mini with 16 GB RAM (but I had the same problem on a 2017 Core i5 iMac with 24 GB RAM).
I have that same problem but not anywhere near as frequently as the badge not updating in a timely manner. Th e badge is like every time.
