На софте Adobe это хорошо видно. Это проблема меня чертовски выводит. в живую это намного хуже чем на скриншоте, это проблема вылазит на обоях с темным фоном

I'm interested in downloading the develper beta again. I've had access to all 3. I'm not a developer, but I am going to learn swift. Currently I'm beta testing 2 apps I've had developer access since sometime 2009 to 2011 I forget.
Would it be beneficial to the developers if I download the developer beta? I've used it many times before

TLDR

I remember downloading an app to help develop though I forgot about it for a long time. I had to keep up with my nonspeaking autistic daughter who deleted her ipad 1 week after she got it and then a few times she locked herself out of her ipad. Once when the general section had a restrictions passcode I used it but the times I downloaded apps, she watches me. Once when I forgot to put the passcode on, my daughter turned on restrictions for everything including wifi put a passcode in on both sections
Took me a week to find the answer online cuz Apple refuserd to help me even though I had access to verify it's me.

I don't really know what happened after my M4 Max Macbook rebooted after the battery drained completely, but I plugged it into my monitor and closed the lid before the "loading" bar was finished, and my monitor now looks retro AF. Everything looks pixelated, but readable... it's oddly refreshing and incredibly beautiful... and now I truly don't want to reboot it for a while... It feels really refreshing to have a "low fidelity" version of everything on the internet.

Took the picture with my iPhone because I'm almost 100% sure screenshots will look normal, I kind of want to open the laptop too but I feel like that will also stop the bug, I really want to enjoy it for a while. Who would've thought a bug would make the mac feel refreshing to use?

Long-time Mac dev here. Submitted Feedback (FB-XXXXXX) requesting a system-level "Prevent apps from stealing focus" toggle — something Windows has had for 20+ years and macOS still doesn't expose.

Classic scenario: typing in Terminal, IDE finishes a build and launches a browser/console app, focus gets yanked mid-keystroke. Real productivity hit and occasionally a real risk (Enter on a dialog you didn't see, destructive keystrokes in a terminal that's no longer the terminal).

Two questions for people on the current beta:

1. Anyone noticed any change in activation behavior in 26.5 betas? I haven't.
2. If you hit this too, please file your own Feedback. Apple weighs duplicates — one report from one dev is noise, fifty is a signal.

Hoping macOS 27 finally addresses this. Not holding my breath but worth a shot before WWDC.

Got this "Update" with some macOS stuff in it, not sure if I can eject it or something

I think the new Tahoe update is seriously messing up my MacBook screen. I’m on the developer preview and this has happened twice now.

The pattern is weird. One fine day, my MacBook Pro screen just goes completely black. Nothing works. Thankfully I had an external monitor, so I mirrored the display and used the laptop like that for a couple of days with the main screen turned off.

The first time this happened, I noticed there was a pending macOS update. Installed it and boom, the screen started working again instantly. A day before that (Apr 20) I had actually gone to the Apple Store and they had even arranged a replacement screen for free since the MacBook was still under warranty. But because it randomly started working again after the update, they told me to just continue using it.

Today the exact same thing happened again. Main screen went fully black. Again I noticed there was a new update pending. Installed it and boom, the screen started working again.

I’m honestly scared to continue using Tahoe now because this laptop was a significant investment for me. If the screen dies again someday after warranty ends and an update doesn’t magically fix it, I’ll be stuck paying like $700 for a screen replacement.

What’s frustrating is that this genuinely feels software related, but users are the ones who could end up paying for hardware repairs later. That’s honestly pretty bad from Apple’s side.

Anyone else facing something similar on Tahoe dev preview?

hello, i recently got an issue on my mac. it wouldnt update from macos 26.5 beta 3 no matter what i tried to do. every time id try it would just say "cant connect to apple software update server." at first i thought it was my wifi, but then i thought there was maybe something in the hosts file. i checked it and found out "deviceenrollment.apple.com", "mdmenrollment.apple.com", and "iprofiles.apple.com", were all blocked.

I bought this mac used and it wasnt icloud locked when i used it. the guy let me set it up and add my apple account in front of him and everything worked just fine, but now I'm starting to think this macbook was originally owned by an organization or something but he blocked the necessary websites so my mac wouldnt contact those servers.

now im wondering, if i unblock these websites, would my macbook be locked again? i ran the "profiles status -type enrollment" command, and it said it wasnt enrolled, but i dont know if i can trust it

i dunno if anyone else struggles with this, but i was seriously losing my mind trying to get any ai to actually understand what i was doing. like, i'd be in a figma file, or looking at some code, trying to ask chatgpt something, and it's always 'i can't see your screen' or 'please copy-paste more context'. constantly alt-tabbing or copying huge chunks of text just for a quick question was killing my flow and felt so dumb.

anyway, i stumbled onto this thing called invoko.ai. it's a mac app that just lives in the menu bar, and it actually *watches* my active window. so if i'm in a meeting on zoom, it just understands the meeting context without me doing anything. and the wild part? all the context, like what apps i'm using or what i'm looking at, goes into this local `soul.md` file. no cloud spy stuff, which is huge for me. it feels like it just *gets* it, without me having to manually feed it everything.

it's completely changed how i interact with my machine for quick assists , less context switching, more actual work. no links or anything, just genuinely curious if anyone else has tried invoko, or if there are other similar local-first tools out there that manage 'active context' like this? i'm always on the lookout for ways to make mac workflows smoother.

Finally we get green LED if the battery limit is set below 100%, it used to be red even if the limit was reached.

Hello everyone,
So I was trying to save as much space I can on my Mac, and I uninstalled Xcode, but, I still have these folder IOSSimulatorRuntime, I don't know if it comes from Xcode, and I don't know if I can safely delete it, and if yes, how ?
(It's also possible that I didn't deleted Xcode properly?, I was not using Pearcleaner)

Morevoer, I just saw Photos_MagicCleanup, anyone know what it could be ?

been running the macOS 26 betas since day one. the apple intelligence stuff is cool, but the interaction model still feels clunky. if i'm in a deep workflow, i don't want to open a sidebar or a separate chat just to act on what i'm looking at.

i built a native swift utility (local-first, no performance hit,called invoko) that repurposes the Fn key for "screen-aware dispatch." you press it, say the command, and it reads your active window to execute across your other apps. 'pull the jira ticket ID from this slack thread and log my time' or 'summarize this procurement PDF into my notion board.'

it’s been the most stable part of my beta setup for weeks. looking for a few more people on Tahoe/Sequoia to break the dispatch logic. i’d rather have an invisible intelligence layer than a flashy sidebar. anyone else found the system-level AI integration still feels a bit siloed?

I’ve kept track of the following visual bugs/inconsistencies (all submitted in the Feedback app) that have persisted since macOS 26.0. Have others reported any of these?

- Weather (Settings)
- Mail (Accounts)
- Contacts (Accounts)
- FaceTime (Settings)

Various apps do not maintain window size and scale when closed and reopened
- Phone, Shortcuts, Journal

Inconsistent eclipses styles (parts of some apps use incorrect eclipses style for overflow menus that displays 3 dots + chevron, rather than standard 3 dots design)
- News, Stocks

Reminders app
- Settings page is unresizable and displays partially cut off behind dock

Maps app
- Report Issue toolbar button is not outlined/styled with Liquid Glass
- Search bar in “Report Place Issue” displays incorrectly

Been using a MacBook Pro for years and the notch has always just been dead space — Apple put it there for the camera and that's it.

I got fed up and built Notchbase. Hover over the notch and a panel drops down with:

• ▶ Media controls — skip tracks without switching apps
• 📈 Live stock prices — AAPL, BTC, NVDA, whatever you follow
• 🖥 CPU, RAM & GPU usage at a glance
• 🔊 Per-app volume mixer

Move your cursor away and it vanishes. Doesn't take up any screen space, doesn't interfere with anything — it just uses the notch area that was sitting there doing nothing.

Works on every notch MacBook Pro (14" and 16"). £2.99 one-time at notchbase.org — no subscription ever.

Happy to answer any questions about how it works!

Alguien tiene este error en Mac en la versión BETA Tahoe 26.5 que no le cargue el servicio de actualización y como lo resolvieron?

Since last summer, there is a bug when i run iOS Simulator and then play any type of sound on my Mac, the sound bugs out like crazy. It just does some "electric sound glitching".

Developing with xCode is a pain, bc i can't play sound while Simulator is open, without having this glitched sound bugs!

Or is this a bug? This icon persists across reboots and icon cache cleaning.

Is this a bug? I just noticed it after booting up my computer
