My update notifier didnt tell me the build number.

If you have the build number, please edit the post.

Thanks!
 
Can anyone else test and see if you’re able to select a folder in the Photos app to randomly cycle thru your desktop wallpaper?
 
This update (14.21.1) fixes the issue I first reported with the Beta 5 of 14.2 and I found corrected in 14.3 beta 1.

This was a post I made last Wednesday:

An issue for me, since beta 5, I can no longer import pics from my Canon camera in Adobe Bridge connected through USB. I can import fine using the Photos App❓

Still not working. See Also FB13282770, opened on October 17, 2023.
 
two things
1) the keyboard illumination is not working on my MacBook Air M1 (checked everything)
and on the bluetooth keyboard the operates the Mac mini m1.
2) and the apple logo is not visible after typing "shift+alt-op+k or anywhere previously typed.


is anyone else experiencing this snafu?
 
I'm having the same keyboard issue on my M1 MBP. Although that's been an issue for me all of Sonoma. I'm able to go back into Keyboard Settings and "fix" it, but after returning to my laptop again the keyboard backlight is off again.

Restarts tend to fix a lot of things, until they happen again 😉

Is anyone else having issue with bluetooth lag? My trackpad and mouse are basically unusable unless I plug them in. Have tried a reboot to no avail.

I know, that is bothersome since we did this in Jaguar, I think
since .2, I need to type :apple: by typing colon the word apple then a colon again.
seems to me a peon designer is trying to impress a senior designer in Cupertino and failed miserably.
hopefully in Sonoma point 3 will fix that.

Seems Apple Silicon is still having issues with "Legacy" Screensavers, specifically the .saver type of Screensavers. Not only does Apple want everyone to use their Apple TV Screensavers, but they're also demoting what is actually a Screensaver. BOOO
