macOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta 3 - Bug fixes, changes, and more

[fkey]

FCPX crashes when trying to use the new captions option. Number crashed immediately upon opening.

Anyone tried to restore the 15.2 firmware onto a M4 Mac? Mine gets stuck at "Preparing Mac"

Seems I just started getting this one, when waking up from screen saver, its black display with mouse, have to close lid and open to get it back...

Same problem here, but I have to turn my iMac off and on.

Deactivate the screen saver, that helped me, it seems to be a bug in beta 3.

I just updated to macOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta 3, and I’m noticing some solid improvements! I did encounter a minor issue with notifications not syncing properly across devices. Has anyone else run into this, or is it just me? Overall, it’s looking promising.

Where's the update to 15.2 Beta 3 that the 15.1 users received yesterday?

That really stinks.

Seems like the main thread gets blocked from time to time…

My problem with the Music app is if you highlight the search box and then starting typing in it, the cursor will jump out of the box after about the third or fourth character is typed. In a similar fashion, if I expand my playlists below the bottom of the screen and start renaming a playlist or something similar, the cursor will jump up to a playlist above the bottom of the screen. Both problems happen every time, not just every now and then.

Still not there on my Mac. iOS came 20 minutes later too.

Instead I got this. I am using Ethernet only since months and Private Relay always worked. Also it's still on and everything is working. Strange.

Some apps doesn't work anymore since Beta 3. And I get those strange error messages. I think only browsers are affected until now like LibreWolf, Seamonkey and Slimjet. Maybe there was also something else I forgot. I just try to launch all apps again.

I removed them completely with everything in the Libraries too and reinstalled them. It doesn't help.

Could someone please try one of them if it's not only me? Because I sometimes do strange things. 🙃

Has any one found a work around to make SlimJet work with Sequoia?

Has any one found a work around to make SlimJet work with Sequoia?

Yes, just go to Terminal and paste in this and press Enter:

codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/FlashPeak\ Slimjet.app

For some apps this alone seems not to work than you have run that command too:

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/"Application Name.app"

At least I needed to do it for one of the browsers.


It's the same if you use quotes for the application name, the whole path or just a backslash, when the app has an empty space in its name:

/Applications/FlashPeak\ Slimjet.app
"/Applications/FlashPeak Slimjet.app"
/Applications/"FlashPeak Slimjet.app"

You can just drag the app in the Terminal, if you don't want to enter the path.

Thanks Adora,

I'm getting this crash even after doing the above two commands

Hi,

strange. Please have a look here:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/unsigned-self-signed-app-permissions.2417038/

Maybe there is already the answer or you can ask for more help. I don't have Slimjet anymore because I had too many browsers installed and rather prefer the ones based on Firefox.

Also I have SIP disabled and Gatekeeper, that could make things easier.
