*** The official macOS Sequoia thread ***

[Cromulent]

I've looked for an existing thread but couldn't find one. I might be blind though .

I've been reading about some of the features in the betas and the tiling window fearure sounds interesting. I'm wondering if it'll mean I can stop using Rectangle Pro and just use the new included macOS feature.

Is it going to be a 1password killer?

I'd be interested in how it compares to Bitwarden. I also have access to ProtonPass as I have been using ProtonMail for years.

 

[Cromulent]

Is anyone running the latest version of Xcode on macOS 15 or 15.1? Does it include the Swift 6 compiler?

 

[Cromulent]

The new Calculator app is horrible, I'm not sure why they've changed it to look more like the phone version when it's used on a desktop/laptop.

Can you post a screenshot? I've only seen the new iPad calculator.

 

[Cromulent]

It basically looks like the iPhone one. But it’s also iPhone size.

Ah, I see. Thank you.

 

[Cromulent]

I've been thinking about getting a proper calculator anyway so this might not be a major problem.

 

[Cromulent]

I still have the scientific Casio I bought in 1980 in my desk drawer and I use it every few days.

I was looking at the CASIO FX-CG50 or the HP Prime G2. I haven't decided on which one yet.

Studio and Air are updating to the RC now.

Very tempted to do the same. If I do upgrade to the RC does it automatically convert to the stable when it is released and remove you from the beta channel? I've never used a pre-release version of macOS or iOS.

 

[Cromulent]

You have to unenroll after update to go back to the official release channel.

I see. Thank you.

 

[Cromulent]

OK I have updated my Mac Studio. Two problems SoundSource isn't compatible and Xcode needs to be updated but it doesn't show in the macOS App Store update tab.

 

[Cromulent]

Phone mirroring is pretty handy.

Yeah. Using it now to see update progress.

 

[Cromulent]

Have you tried SoundSource version 5.7.0? It says it works with the Sequoia betas, so I assume it will work with the official release.

That sorted it. Thank you.

 

[Cromulent]

Since updating last night, I've been having issues with SoundSource stuttering and dropping out audio when connected via Bluetooth headphones (Bose QC35ii and Airpod Pro 2).

I've contacted Rogue Amoeba to see what they say.

@Cromulent, what's it been like for you since the update?

Yes. I've had that as well. I wasn't sure what it was.

Edit: Was having another issue where one of my monitors was flashing on and off which fixed itself the moment I quit SoundSource. I need to go out now but I'll speak to them the moment I get home.

 

[Cromulent]

Oh just to update my Xcode problem. The update appeared in the app store in the morning and the CLI tools were updated about midday yesterday so I just needed to be more patient.

 

[Cromulent]

Does anyone know how to turn off iPhone notifications with iPhone mirroring?

 

[Cromulent]

120684 'How to turn off iPhone notifications' - Settings > Notifications > Turn off/on 'Allow notifications from iPhone'

Thank you!

 

[Cromulent]

I've been chatting to Rogue Amoeba tech support, and they got me to install the latest beta release. It's fixed the stuttering, but there's still a slight sync issue when watching a video and listening to it over Bluetooth.

Thank you. I'll wait for the official release as it isn't essential to me. Did they say how long it was going to be in beta for?

Has anyone else noticed loads of songs on Apple Music have had the scrolling lyrics removed from them? I sing along to musoc quite often and not having the scrolling lyrics is a pain in the bum. It just has small static text that is really hard to read.

mulitple ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR since updating, slow buggy videos on iplayer, youtube.... each OS update is worse until 2 or 3 updates later

Can't say I have any of those problems but I use Firefox so not sure if that changes things.

im on Brave.....

macOS Sequoia: Needs to import Google's fix for ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED

macOS Sonoma users experience periodic ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED (and related ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR) errors when using Brave. Users will experience the problem more frequently if they have HomeKit devices, iOS or Apple Watch devices paired with XCode, or iPhones configured to allow calling from the...

That is a bug with Brave as far as I can tell. You need to wait for them to update as it isn't a macOS bug since other browsers are not having similar problems.

The bug message even says Google have fixed the issue.
