    Photo app is only in its "selection" mode

    I have an issue with the photo app on my iPad running iPadOS 16. It seems like a bug that prevents me from viewing any photo. Whenever I tap on an image, it just selects it and shows a blue check mark. It's been like this for a while and I don't know when it started to happen. I tried...

    TextEdit plain text mode will not save font/size

    So my m.o., as always when opening TextEdit, is to immediately change the document to plain text mode -- I prefer fixed width, and I hate seeing the indent tabs at the top (yeah I know, I'm weird). The default size of Menlo 11 is too small, so I change it... could be anything, 16pt, 18pt...

    Wrong date on modular watch face

    I am having a weird bug on my S5 modular watch face. Often, it gives yesterday's date (both day and date). The calendar settings and app icon in the watch give the right date (and so does my phone). I can either wait a couple of hours for it to correct itself or simply restart the watch. It...

    Troubleshooting why Third-Party VPNs won't connect

    Somehow with either 13.2 or 13.2.1, my Mac won't allow any third-party VPN to work/connect right. I'm looking for any advice folks have before I throw myself at the mercy of Apple Support troubleshooting. Here's what I've tried/confirmed: Isolated the issue to my Mac Studio. No issue with VPNs...

    Battery drain & connected devices issue

    Hi all! I recently noticed that my MacBook is draining 2-5% per night in sleep mode. It didn’t happen before, I didn’t install any new applications or something like that, but I connected my iPhones several times in order to download music there by wire. After that, an allegedly connected...

    Safari Extensions from Setapp apps

    Hi all, I'm on Ventura 13.2 and use Downie and Folx from Setapp. Here's the issue: The extensions from those two apps will no longer be working, everytime I shut down my MBP. They're still enabled in Safari > Settings > Extensions, but the functionality is not present. The contextual menu...

    iOS bug: Screen Time's Content and privacy restrictions not blocking Messages settings on iPhone

    At some point during the latest iOS updates something happened with the option that blocks "Account changes" under Screen Time's Content and privacy restrictions.

    Any ideas how to fix weird safari/YouTube bug?

    Hi all - I have a weird bug whereby the YouTube in-video 'scrubbing' thumbnails (not sure what they're called) don't display properly, but instead are split into four quadrants - each of which shows either a frame of the current or previously watch video - but not a thumbnail of that part of the...

    iOS Control Center Remote Volume Unreliable After 16.2

    My wife and I use the iOS and iPadOS Control Center remote to control our Apple TV. Since upgrading to iOS, iPadOS and tvOS to the latest version, volume control rarely works (the volume buttons usually only adjust the iPhone or iPad device volume). Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes...

    Significant Energy List not showing recently used apps

    I’ve encountered a bug with Ventura whereby the significant energy tab on Ventura would not show apps which are consuming energy. This happened with 13.0.1 and I’m not sure if it affects 13.1. This has been happening on my M1 14 inch MacBook Pro and I’m not sure if this is a hardware or software...

    Wi-Fi Jitter, Erratic Ping, Latency Due To AWDL (AirDrop/AirPlay)

    I have noticed that Wi-Fi on macOS Ventura has high jitter. This affects any real-time application. It is common for latency (ping) to spike to spike from a normal 2-10ms to nearly 200ms. This has happened in 13.0 and now 13.1. The only fix so far has been to disable AWDL; which is used by...

    iPhone 14/Plus iPhone 14 Plus only recording in h264

    As the title says, no matter what I change in the settings everything my iPhone 14 Plus records is in h264. Needless to say I'd prefer to record in h265 for file size reasons. I'm not using my device professionally or anything. Is this maybe a bug? Also I haven't tried any 3rd party app yet...

    iPhone 14 Pro Stock camera app on iPhone 14 Pro bug (weird buzzing and vibration and not the same as previous 3rd party app bug)

    Hi, guys, I was made aware of this from someone else on Reddit who asked me to check if it happened on mine. If you set your regular video recording to 30fps / 60fps and 4K, zoom all the way in and pan across your surroundings. It causes this weird buzzing sound with a vibration of the lens too.

    Safari unable to restore tabs?

    Make sure you have asked Safari to restore tabs and windows automatically: Global menu > Safari > Preferences > General > Safari opens with = All windows from last session. Now the test: 1. Open a single Safari window with two tabs, e.g. Google and Wikipedia. 2. Quit Safari (Command-Q) and...

    iCloud iCloud for Windows Corrupting videos, downloading other people's photos!?!

    Submitted this to Apple through their feedback and security site, but haven't seen it talked about anywhere else. Was hoping I could see if someone else could replicate it. Here's my copy paste, this is a very strange bug to say the least. Hopefully someone here can replicate it. Summary...

    My contacts card keeps resetting

    Ever since iOS 16, the custom labels on my contacts card, as well as a few others in my address book, keep reverting to the generic labels. (E.g, my “home” address and “work” address just go back to being labeled “address.” Mobile and work labels for phone just say “phone.”) I’ll fix them, and...
