    Update error: A snapshot is currently set to boot that is not the currently booted snapshot

    “A snapshot is currently set to boot that is not the currently booted snapshot. Reboot to boot to the new snapshot to allow install to this volume.” is the error message when trying to update a Ventura 13.1 virtual machine to 13.2. What I’ve tried so far, without success: - reboot - disable SIP...

    Battery life conscious. should I upgrade?

    Hi. I've been holding off updating to macOS Ventura because of some problems some people seemed to be having in the early days with battery life. Just wondering what people's battery life seems to be like so I can make my mind up about upgrading. I'm using a MacBook Air M1 Thanks

    2011 iMac OpenCore

    Looking for some feedback on the risks of using OpenCore. I have a 2011 iMac that I use for mostly a media hub (photos, music, movies, idevice syncing and backing up). I also use it to share my media library to my Apple TV. What if any issues should I be aware of? Is it even worth doing if...

    Slow Wi-Fi after updating to Ventura

    Updated my 2019 Intel iMac from Monterey to Ventura in December. Aside from some light browsing, etc. hadn't used it much since the update, but have started using it more lately and am noticing slow Internet connection speeds (Zoom not working well anymore, podcast downloads slow, speed tests...

    Freeform: How would you make it better?

    Now that the dust has settled, how are you all finding Freeform? I use Mindnode daily so that is my benchmark, and I think that while Freeform is a decent app, it's also one that could be a lot better and not helped by some strange quirks. Since it's a Catalyst app it suffers from the usual...

    App icons stuck on desktop

    I have an iMac 2013 (10.15.7) that I did a Time Machine backup / Migration to a new Macbook Air M2. Migration was flawless, but I realized afterwards that were some apps that needed to be removed, so started doing so by moving them to the trash. Everything in the Application and Utilities...

    M1 MacBook Air Battery Drain

    Hi my dear support team, My MacBook has been annoying for the last couple of months!! Since downloading a Ventura public beta, the computer loses battery in standby mode. Since then I've been off the beta version (I've sworn myself off because it's not the only problem i've had, as to be...

    Stage Manager vs Mission Control

    Recentrly switched to Ventura 13.1 coming from Mavericks. Been on it for only a week. Trying all the new OS features including Stage Manager but so far in my real life situations I am not finding it better than Mission Control for bringing up my window apps and selecting the one I need to work...

    This YouTuber has actually made Siri useful.

    For eons, Siri has been arguably one of the worst voice assistants on the market. For eons, your queries have either elicited the responses "Here's what I found", "Just a sec" or "Something went wrong." Ladies and Gents, this goes on no longer. I implore all of you to check out IDeviceHelp's...

    I have been experiencing issues with Ventura since it's release, my biggest issue of this is having display flickering. I have a LG 27UL850-W display connected to my MacBook Pro 14" via a USB-C cable (the one that comes included with the display), whenever I play any form of video on the...

    Mac Studio multi display management: Rinse and repeat 10+ times a day

    It shouldn’t be this hard. In fact, it should be “super easy; barely an inconvenience!” as the Quebecois says on YouTube. The module or whatever you want to call it, in macOS, detects the connected displays. In some cases, two or more of the displays are the same brand, model and year, because...

    Smart Mailboxes unexpected behavior

    Smart mailboxes have failed completely. Selecting one does not display messages expected from the chosen filters. Message list simply persists from the previous selected physical mailbox. If I quit Mail and then relaunch it, then the contents of the Smart Mailbox are simply empty. The same...

    Multiple Desktops - Keyboard input disabled

    An annoyance from Ventura. I have a 13" MBP M1 - and routinely work using 5 virtual desktops. It makes life much easier to have one or two apps open on each desktop and 4 finger swipe between them... Ive always worked this way on the smaller screen Macs... Since Ventura, however, when I swipe...

    macOS Ventura L2TP VPN - Missing?

    Not sure if I'm missing something here - or if Ventura is... Just wiped my MacBook Air M1 and installed a clean copy of Ventura 13.1 (usually wait for .1 updates to try to avoid early bugs - ha..) I have for years had an L2TP VPN connection into work - but now when I go to try setting it up...

    Ventura Bookmarks

    When making new bookmarks Ventura does not prompt me for a destination folder. Instead they automatically send them to a certain folder. Surely there must be a setting to let me decide where to put a bookmark like in previous versions, sort of like with downloads where I can override the...

    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...

    Input lag when typing on MacOS Ventura

    I've noticed that when typing, letters appear maybe a split second slower which affects the accuracy. Sometimes the input doesn't register at all, like the whole OS froze for a moment. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

    Touch Bar emoji button stops working in iMessage (13.1)

    This is an issue I noticed on 13.0.1 and also on 13.1. The emoji function on the touch bar on my M1 MacBook Pro stops working and requires a restart to start working again. It will only work a few times before failing and not letting me click on it anymore. Has anyone else experienced this...

    Pinch to Zoom is not working on macOS Ventura

    I've noticed a lot of people mentioned this issue across multiple threads. Could be useful to have everything in one place. How do you solve it? Disabling/enabling "pinch to zoom" in system settings is not working for me. Only restarting the whole thing does. Also it starts working after a while...
