macOS Tahoe 26.0 Beta 4 - Bug fixes, changes, and more

[LutzRFrank]

It turns out they are here: /Users/yourhomefoldername/Library/Application Support/com.apple.wallpaper/aerials/videos/ - thanks, reddit.

Great, now I give the scripting a chance ... 🙂

EDIT: looks like no automation or scripts allows to set these mov as Wallpaper, even MacOS doing this. You can only create a dynamic (static) .heic switching at an individual frame

EDIT2: created a little dynamic heic ...

not the "live" mov's but better than nothing...

Chance of public beta 2 today?

Chance of public beta 2 today?

Most likely dev beta followed by public in a couple days. That’s usually the pattern. Once we get closer to RC the public ones come out faster, and eventually on the same day.

Next beta with Xcode and metal fix 🙏🏻

I've already created a Feedback request to say the Shortcut wallpaper commands can't handle .mov files.

Did it stick though?

I find if I toggle Calendar in iCloud settings (not in Calendar settings) that this fixes it, but it's temporary and recurs after an hour or so. Anyone else seeing this? If so I submitted FB19245192 and it would be great if you did the same so Apple addresses it.

About firewire in macOS Tahoe,
has anyone tried to install a sequoia VM and check if firewire is working?

"mds_stores" looks hungry... 😵
About 37GB(!) memory usage after installing beta 6 .. This might be the first time, i witness my m2 pro (32GB RAM) swapping!
Hope this reindexing will come to an end soon 😉

lost patience after an hour (regular reboots and safemode boot did not solve anything) and stopped the process, reset and restarted the index for the drive.
The indexing started new, but this time without swapping / within "known" memory usage.
looks better now =)

Auto-hide dock turns itself on here. This will happen only after the screen saver goes on for the first time after startup. Turning it off will show the dock but only until the next screen saver.

Calls via Phone app often fail.

I have the auto-hide issue but for me, after I've turned it off again, the screensaver has to have been on for X amount of time before it reverts. I don't know what X is yet, though it is more than 5 minutes.

Has this been fixed for you? I've had the problem since the first Beta that I installed (I think it was version 4), & I've updated each time they've come out & am now on the RC & this issue persists for me.

Still present here.

Has anybody tried running OneDrive app on Tahoe? Regardless of the beta version, I can’t get it to work - it just crashes. Anybody else have this? (This is inside a virtualised Mac OS on running on UTM for info).

Same. Even after the latest 26.3 and re-installing OneDrive app, it's still crashing on launch within UTM. Ironically even the Microsoft Error Reporting app gets triggered but that won't open either and just stops bouncing in the dock. What garbage.

Not sure if this is a Microsoft issue or UTM issue. I have the latest Sequoia also running in UTM and that OneDrive works fine.

I think these are new?

Night is new.

I still don't know why these can't automatically transition or switch during the day as clearly that's why they've been designed

Just to update, but I'm sure you may have already noticed that 26.4 has appeared to fix the OneDrive app crashing issue within UTM. After installing the update (within the guest) it auto-started OneDrive just fine and was able to set it up properly.
