    Move Menu Bar items to Control Center?

    To note — I haven't upgraded to Tahoe yet. I'm continually evaluating it and will upgrade eventually, but I am not comfortable doing so yet. (It's less the visual mess that is holding me back, though I do have concerns about that. It is more just inconsistent reports around performance and bugs...

    Diagnostics borked for two different M4 Mac Studios running Tahoe 26.2

    Are diagnostics borked for M4 Mac Studios running Tahoe? It seems really odd that two separate machines ordered days apart would have faulty hardware. IMO, this is a software/firmware issue most likely. Model Number: MHQH4LL/A System Firmware Version: 13822.61.10 OS Loader Version...

    Thoughts on upgrading to Tahoe

    Hi, Can I get some thoughts on Tahoe, I guess now OS 26.2? So far, the bits and pieces I've heard haven't been too flattering, but I wanted to get thoughts for or against from users who aren't necessarily looking for clicks. Is it still too early to upgrade, or should I just stay with...

    For heavy Lightroom users: Tahoe or Sequoia?

    Hey, people. For those photographers out there using Lightroom professionally, do you feel any difference from Sequoia to Tahoe or vice-versa? I actually do, since I'm running a M5 Macbook with Tahoe (24GB RAM) and a M4 Mac Studio with Sequoia (48GB RAM). I completely dislike everything about...

    Time Machine with Tahoe

    Since updating to 26.2 I have been unable to get a Time Machine backup to complete. On both my MacBook Pro M4 and iMac M3 the backups fail. I have tried dozens of times on both machines. Thinking it must be a failing external drive, which is a few years old, I bought a new 1TB SSD external...

    Apple apps that are not yet Liquid Glassed

    There are still a fair number of Mac apps that have yet to be updated with Liquid Glass, despite Tahoe being announced almost 6 months ago. Would be interested to hear thoughts on why this may be, and what we can expect from any updates. Apps that I don't believe have been updated include...

    how to disable Safari nag?

    Running a beta of 26.3 on a M2 MacBook Air. Often (not always) when I start Safari, I get this nagging message. How can I stop this? I have my extension permissions enabled.

    Does Parallels 18 work after upgrading to Tahoe from Sequioa?

    The post title is very specific but I came across a Sonoma to Sequoia post that said Parallels 18 worked only if you upgraded in place ( i.e. don't do a fresh install of Sequioa ). So, it might be the same for Sequoia to Tahoe. I use Parallels 18 once or twice a year for very edge case...

    AI Search in Photos on Mac not working

    I am on macOS Tahoe 6.10. The AI powered natural language intelligence search that's supposed to be built into the current version of macOS and Photos doesn't work for me. For example, if I type "black shirt" it shows nothing (I have several photos with people in black t-shirts, shirts or tops -...

    Any breaking changes from Sequoia to Tahoe when using web dev tools / apps ?

    I am on a MacBook Air M2 (24GB RAM + 2TB SSD) with macOS Sequoia 15.7.2. I am wondering if I should take the risk in upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26.1 ? I work on web development projects having 2-4 browsers open at the same time with multiple tabs open (~25 in Chrome and in Edge). PhpStorm...

    Upgrade to Tahoe?

    Hi, after all the fuss around Tahoe and all those negative comments, I'm wondering whether to update to Tahoe or not. I have MacBook Air M2 and in Sequoia. It's stable for me and working great. So my question is how stable is Tahoe for you? what about battery life?

    Install Sequoia to USB drive and keep Tahoe on internal

    For development and testing purposes I have to have a macOS Sequoia instance with Xcode being able to build locally (to macOS target). For this I wanted to install Sequoia into an USB drive attached to my M1 MBP. I am not new to OS installs, done this since 23 years now, but this one got me, so...

    Finder is very slow in Select / Save As

    Hello, I need some advice. I’m using a Mac Studio M1 Max and after yesterday’s update to macOS Tahoe 26.1, Finder has started to lag significantly whenever I try to save or select a file through a dialog window. For example: in Illustrator I choose “Save As…”, the Finder dialog opens, and...

    Time Machine Drive Unmountable After Big Sur → Tahoe Backup (APFS Container Corruption)

    I’m dealing with a Time Machine drive that became unreadable after backing up across two macOS generations and I’m hoping to restore the APFS container or at least extract data with directory structure intact. Drive: 4TB WD Easystore (External USB) Original Machine: MacBook Pro (2014) - macOS...

    UI latency / lag with macOS 26.1

    After updating from macOS 15 - the UI in Tahoe 26.1 feels significantly more laggy / high latency. It's a bit hard to explain but the whole OS feels like I'm using a web app, everything feels like there's some sort of additional time between input and reaction. Even dragging windows around...

    Shared Albums don't work as screensaver any more

    Just updated to 26.1 from Sequoia and much to my surprise, my screensaver is now just a black screen with "No photos" on it. For years, I've used a shared album of my kids as my screensaver. Now when I go into Settings and choose that album, I get no loading images and, like I said, "No photos"...

    Sequoia cannot be installed on M5 Macbook. Silly me.

    I'm glad you cannot be killed by regret. Bought a brand new M5 Macbook Pro and for the third time I really tried to use Tahoe. Gave up. Erased everything and voilà, you cannot clean install anything but Tahoe. Thanks, Apple. Really silly, but I guess stupidity is on me for not asking first at...

    Reason why you have not updated to i(Pad)OS 26?

    Hi everyone, I’m curious to know if there are other Apple enthusiasts like me who haven’t yet updated to the latest and greatest that Apple has to offer. Why is that? For me, it’s because I’ve noticed a significant performance drop in my M1 iPad with the latest update. It feels much slower and...

    Automatically hide and show menu bar bug - seriously?

    I hide my dock, as well as my menu bar to get a fully fullscreen experience, worked flawlessly on Sequoia. But I wanted to upgrade to Tahoe because a sound interface I use (RME UFX III) apparently runs better on it (audio stutters on Sequoia, had to run in Class Compliant Mode). But I get this...

    26.0.1 Losing Mission Control arrangement on reboot?

    I recently switched from almost-exclusively using a single 27" 4k monitor with my M4 Pro MBP to using two displays - first a new 27" 4k with the existing one, then my MBP's built-in display after the new monitor died (just inside the return window, thankfully). I've always been a heavy...
