macOS Tahoe 26.4 Beta 2 - Bug fixes, changes, and more

[leman]

Now, these restrictions that Apple is imposing are becoming increasingly ‘suffocating’ even for those who have always chosen Apple because of their distrust of Android/Windows and their excessive ability to modify the system with all the associated risks.

What are some of the restrictions you are mentioning here?

This topic was already addressed in my subsequent post and, in any case, as mentioned, it should not be taken as a fait accompli in a beta version.

Ah, yes, apologies, I missed those posts.

Doesn’t look like it; it’s usually not this late.

yeah my thoughts too, maybe next week, hopefully the devs are working extra extra hard on all those bugs 🙂

No telling. I would assume it would release with the others, and since it didn't, I'd expect it in just a day or two. I don't think that they'll wait all the way until the next cycle.

Disappointing that there's no beta to install today. Tinfoil hat time: maybe there's a new product that would have been exposed so they're holding it for one more day.

Hm.. that's probably not so far off actually.. I wonder why product leaks via betas anyhow? I mean, in-house testing can get their own builds slightly modified so that these model numbers aren't exposed - or so I would think

So perhaps by the end of the week?

You see the glitch on 26.4 beta (the MacBook) vs and old iMac ?

I have that too. You can’t change which is the main screen either, you can’t drag the little menu bar between the screens.

Update coming soon. It's not listed in the seed catalog yet.

The release notes are also still missing.

Edit: Update should be available now.

Lost many, but not all, of my custom icons (.icns), and copying and pasting icons to folders is not working.

On my MacMini with 26.4 Beta (25E5218f), Time Machine Backup to Synology NAS again stopped backing up. It reports an issue with Username/Password, even after removing and successfully adding the Target providing proper credentials.
Same happened here with 26.2 Beta. Apple fixed it then.

26.4GA did not fix. However this reddit post helped me out:
