    Search field in System Settings app not working after update to 15.1

    Hello, Two days ago I have updated my M3 Max MBP from 14.7 to 15.1. Everything seems to be working smoothly except for one thing: the search field in the System Settings app returns no result, whatever I type. At least this was what I saw yesterday morning. Today, typing the first letter of my...

    Dynamic Island glitch in iOS 18.1, hard reset didn’t help

    Hi everyone! After updating my iPhone 14 Pro to iOS 18.1, during a call and its Dynamic Island animation, the clock on the upper corner doesn’t show up anymore. This happens only in calls, in other circumstances it is like it used to. Already tried hard resetting the iPhone. Anyone else?

    Sequoia 15.1 Update & 1Password

    I updated my MacBook to 15.1 today, and a bunch of stuff I use (constantly!) stopped working: Hitting F5 didn’t start dictation, Rocket behaved like it wasn’t even there, Hyperkey didn’t work, the emoji picker wouldn’t come up when summoned, etc. No idea why. Then I opened up Keyboard Maestro...

    Should I update to iPad OS 17.7 or hold off?

    I'm being given the choice of update to iPad OS 17.7 or jumping to 18. For obvious reasons, I do not want to upgrade to version 18 -- yet, if at all. (I'm on an iPad 9.) However, is 17.7 OK? Or, should I hold off on it, too, until bug reports come in and bugs are fixed?

    All iPads Do you recommend always backing up before an iOS or an iPad OS update AND upgrade?

    Curious what people's habits are — and what their general advice is about installing new versions of the iOS and iPad OS software. And, whether your approach differs between updating and upgrading. For example, updating, say from 17.6.1 to 17.7, seems straightforward, whereas upgrading, that...

    Universal New version of my app Barograph rewritten in Swift

    Back in 2014 when Apple introduced a barometer chip on the iPhone 6, I wrote a quick data logger app called Barograph which would plot the atmospheric pressure from the barometer chip. Being a bit of a weather nerd, I built the app because thought it was cool to be able to collect meteorological...

    Is it possible to update mac in background?

    My mbp freezes after sleep(or while). This is started on version 13.6. I'm afraid of faulty update if my mac will crash while rebooting or something. I think it will be more secure to update it in background. Is it possible? Or can someone advise me how I can avoid problems. Thanks.

    Update path for a rMBP running Sierra

    I have a 2014 rMBP that is still running Sierra (not even High Sierra). I put off updating it due to Software compatibility complications and eventually just started doing most of my work on my desktop, since the MacBook became slow anyways. Now I need it for a job and I need to get it to the...

    Resolved Drive wiped now can’t install MacOS

    So my 2018 Mac mini decided to act up this week. I thought I’d upgrade to Sonoma. Big mistake. Unfortunately it got stuck in a loop trying to download then would crash. I decided to reinstall from my Time Machine back up. That just lead to more issues. Ended up with Ventura (but not very...

    Post-install weirdness with 14.5

    Just got done with the update to macOS Sonoma 14.5. I have FileVault enabled. After the initial post-boot authentication the screen went black again, showed the Apple logo and a progress bar at the bottom. The progress bar was disconcertingly long stuck at about 5%, I would say 3 min. That’s...

    I hate Apple's update notifications

    This is the second time I've turned on the Apple TV only to have it start immediately updating because the message pops up as soon as I turned it on. The first time was with the old Siri Remote, which I accidentally brushed the wrong way and it started updating Today it's happening because the...

    Possible to Update Reminders Without an iCloud Account?

    I'm interested in utilizing the columns feature in the Reminders app, but it seems that the app requires an update from within itself. However, when I attempt to update, it prompts me to sign into iCloud. Since I'm using a work computer where I remain signed out of iCloud, this poses a...

    Nov 2023 update - nothing helpful!

    So I just updated the software for my Apple Watch and now the easy to use items have become less so! All my pre-set timers? Gone. Try to summon your phone… it used to take a swipe and a click, now you better allow 1-3 minutes and it’s increasingly obnoxious! What were they thinking?!

    Anyone else have extremely slow AirTag sharing?

    We picked up 4 Airtags and bound them to my wifes iPhone, which she then shared to my account using the new feature in iOS 17. Both my iPhone and iPad can see them. However the location of the tags updates very very slowly, if at all. I tested this today by putting my spare iPhone with her in...

    Is it possible to use a strange computer to update iPhone without syncing?

    I have always backed up and updated my iPhone using iTunes. With the recent security issues it seems like it's time to finally update to iOS 16 (I'm still using iOS 15 at the moment...). The problem is that the computer I usually sync with (which still uses iTunes) is not available to me right...
