Thanks for making. Keeping an eye on working/not working apps before hopping on.

It's working on mine.

Are there any changes to notifications or notification center?

Are there any changes to notifications or notification center?

Yes. an easy way to clear your notifications.

Safari is broken. Open up a new window and the content will always switch to the oppotsite open page in either window when you switch between them. Weirdest bug I've encountered. Made copying and pasting the Music thread nigh impossible.

Docked websites now support webkit extensions

Finally got it installed and so far no issues. BUT - Installation was a problem on my 2019 NcMP. I couldn't get it to install on a Samsung 970 Pro SSD. It would install, but the Mac would shut off during boot. Tried three times with no luck. I finally cloned (With CCC) my Sonoma StartUp SSD to the Apple OEM SSD. That install went well. I then cloned that disk to the Samsung 970 Pro and that went fine.

iPhone Mirroring app won't open for me, anyone else working?

I think it is completely broken or maybe just not ready yet...

 

[Siliconpsychosis]

Safari keeps losing all my bookmarks favicons, bit annoying but not a dealbreaker

 

[nat1nat1]

Can’t change AirPod transparency modes within control centre either by tapping or long press

 

[nat1nat1]

Anyone one find that legacy contacts get removed when updating?

Seems like audio stream from Audible gets cut for a second when listening to Audible and opening Amazon app each time 🤷‍♂️

 

[nat1nat1]

Anyone unable to scroll up through notifications? Not sure if it’s a hangover from pre-existing notifications in iOS 17 and if deleting all fixes forwards, but broken for me atm.

PDF files are badly stretched when printed from Preview.

I lost the option for 5440x1440 resolution on my Samsung G93SC and G95SC monitors. Tried the old trick of enforcing 60Hz, non-HDR to see if the option reappeared, but nope.

This uses a M1 Pro, MacBook Pro 13-inch USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4.


EDIT:

Luckily, I could "fix" this by disabling Adaptive Sync on the displays themselves. When macOS does not recognize the display as capable of variable refresh rate, it allows me to select the native 5440x1440 resolution. I am not sure why this changed with the update. I was running 5440x1440 with a 48-120 Hz variable refresh rate on macOS 14.5.1.

i just finished a Teams meeting and it seems that there are some issues with the connectivity. I lost the connection like 10 times in 5 minutes... connected to a 5Ghz WiFi network. Anyone else having this issue?

 

[rezwits]

It's not a bricking situation but, on my MacMini 2018, my eGPU prevents usages... it's like not secure or something IDK... can't login, and even if I login and plug the eGPU in, it takes me right back to the Login Window... we'll see... Intel support without eGPU? oh that would suck...

OWC eGPU, btw...

 

[AxelFoley]

Anyone one find that legacy contacts get removed when updating?

I have all my contacts in iCloud. The contacts app shows all contacts on my iPhone and iPad. There are NO contacts visible in the contacts app on the M1 MacBook Pro.

Isn't this normal behaviour for Teams?

I mean Apple "Legacy contact". Apologies - this should be in the iOS forum
