    Sonoma Wireless solutions that do not require OCLP

    This thread is for people who have older Macs for which Sonoma (and thus Wi-Fi) support was dropped by Apple. This thread is relevant to those who want to run Sonoma on their unsupported Mac without root-patching the macOS Wi-Fi framework. The purpose of this thread is to allow contributors to...

    Safari changing brightness of videos being played when mouse is moved.

    Ok, posting this in case someone else has got this issue as Google hasn't led me to any other examples of this. I've got a really irritating problem that's started since updating my M1 Ultra Mac Studio to Sonoma. If I'm playing videos in Safari, e.g. YouTube, the brightness will change when I...

    5Ghz wi-fi stopped working

    I've had this 2018 Mac mini in the same location for over three years and never had any wi-fi issues, until yesterday when 5GHz started failing. After a lot of testing I found it was working fine with all other devices around the house, except this mini. As a further test I've just pulled an old...

    Resolved 2012 rMBP 15" crashing on Sonoma using OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.1

    I am not sure if there is a better place to post this (The OCLP Github page does not allow to submit any feedback), so I will try here. Using the latest available version of OCLP 1.0.1 and updated my 2012 rMBP 15" to Sonoma which worked great. But now it ends up crashing at least once a day...

    macOS Sonoma on Apple Silicon can't recognize encrypted HFS+ drives

    As per title. I have an external USB 3.0 hard drive (the rotating variant) formatted with HFS+ and encrypted via Core Storage. Plugging the drive into my M1 Mac Mini running Sonoma (14.0) could not mount the encrypted HFS+ partition. Disk Utility shows the partition as "unformatted."...

    Lost all my 3rd party apps.

    I’ve been using Sonoma 14.1 beta 1 for a while on my MBP M1 14”. Last night i updates to beta 2 and, well im in a bit of a mess. I’ve only been using a Mac for just over a year, so not familiar with recovery processes, or at least not sure what route to take. Basically, all my 3rd party apps...

    Primary language is set to UK English - but suddenly autocomplete (Notes/Mail) is using US spelling

    I've just been typing something in Notes and autocomplete is completing words we spell with an 's' with the American 'z' spelling. I have checked System Settings and the default (primary) language is set to English UK. Mail is also affected. It only affects autocomplete, autocorrect isn't...

    I read through the OS 14 Wiki, but wasn't able to find any info regarding these Ventura (and pre-Ventura) bugs - can anyone advise if these have been fixed in Sonoma? 1) iCloud syncing getting stuck - I'm praying that it's been fixed (so that I don't need to keep running 'killall bird' in the...

    Sonoma Screen Sharing Always Starting in Full Screen?

    The Sonoma screen sharing app seems to always start in full screen, no matter how I set the view or "scale to fit window" or if scaled or not, it just resets when I quit and restart. Anything I can do here or this intended behaviour rather than a bug? Thanks!

    iPhone battery status in new desktop battery widget?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to add your iPhone battery status within the new battery widget for Sonoma? That seems like a pretty important battery metric that's missing.

    Sonoma changed Preview default save location to folder "printing.22832.3" which I can't find nor change as the default

    I do a lot of work in my office annotating and attaching signatures to faxes as PDFs in Preview. I'd long ago set the Downloads folder as my default for saving as that fit my workflow well. Now Preview saves edited pdfs into Printing.22832.3 that I can't even find in Finder. When I remember...

    Resolved Private Relay: Safari not hiding IP (on Sonoma?)

    Edit: Solved. I suggest that people check their IP on Safari to see if Private Relay is really working for them. Hi, I was trying the Private Relay feature on macOS (M1 Macbook Air) after updating to Sonoma. I checked my IP online while using it: surprise, websites have access to my real IP...

    MacBook Pinch to Zoom/Trackpad in preview bug

    Hi, I’ve noticed that when zooming in on a JPEG with the preview app using pinch to zoom on the trackpad the zooming is very glitchy and not smooth at all. Eventually it stops working completely. This doesn’t appear to be as big an issue during quick look but when the photo is opened in the...

    Resolved Sonoma set to release but wants to update to beta on Restart

    The title says it all. On one of my systems, Sonoma is set to Release but it wants to update to beta on Restart. I do not want to run betas while traveling. How do I reset the system and delete the pending backup? CMD-R in the Software Update pane did not do it.

    Upgrade from Monterey to Ventura ignoring Sonoma?

    Hi all, I'm on Monterey and would like to upgrade to Ventura now that V. seems stable. However, the upgrade menu in the corner already wants me to upgrade to Sonoma, which I consider too fresh. Is there a (safe) way to upgrade to Ventura, ignoring the 'offer' to Sanoma? ;JOOP!
