Music is crashing a lot and it's fairly easy to reproduce. Moving songs around in a playlist results in frequent crashes for me.
Got a tip for us?

That is very much an issue with M2 and M3 256GB SSDs. They are half-speed in comparison to M1 SSDs or M2/M3 512GB ones. Application startup time is related to disk speed.
Web links in Notes.app now have coloured tinting. I can't tell what the tinting is based on, but I would guess either the site header bar or favicon? They look really nice and capture the essence of the site.
Please don't judge my railway hobby! 😂
Love that RCT one!

I noticed that Notes has hierarchies which you can shrink. I maintain diaries in Notes and there's an arrow that points down or right depending on shrink or expand.
I was hoping for notifications from the mail app for a work account that is not synced to my Mac. In settings it won’t allow me to turn the mail app on because it detects mail already installed on the Mac. Looks like using Outlook on the phone may be a work around. I do not have outlook on my Mac.
I use the mail app on the phone because I want my mail to fully work on my watch when I’m out on LTE standalone. Outlook only works on the watch when in range of the phone
Can’t have it all I guess!

It is the base M2 Pro, with 512gb storage.
I will probably end up doing a clean install.
With a clean install, would it be better to download the apps again? Or use from Time Machine?
I have 200gb free, as the machine is relatively new.
Well, I bought it off Swappa in December, with AppleCare available until 6/25. They said they rarely used it. And I am not a heavy user on it either. Maybe some Photoshop from time to time.
Not sure about this but when I boot up my Mac my M4 Pro which was plugged into the mac it was also awakened, and actually turned it on when powered off. I was on the line with Apple support when I noticed it the iPad kept snatching the airpods away from the iPhone when I did a shut down or restart. I finally unplugged the iPad to stop this.
Inexplicable that the arrangement of system settings between MacOS Sequoia (left) and iOS 18 (right) are still not the same. Display and home screen settings have been reversed, while Spotlight/search is next to Siri on iOS but all the way down at the bottom on MacOS. It's also strange that Screen Saver hasn't been placed next to Wallpaper on MacOS, given the emphasis on live wallpapers.

Even the lower end SSDs are so incredibly fast these days that it shouldn’t impact the startup times of an app like Firefox that way.
Well, Sequoia officially breaks iCloud Tab support with the 16 mobile OS, making it now impossible to share tabs between either my iPhone (iOS 12, so refuses to recognize the iPad), iPad (ipadOS 16), or Mac anymore. Technical reason or limitation? Nope. Why? “Because we can. Buy a new device.”
Eh… oh. Missed that at first.

This is a thread for the little things (features) and so many posts are just bugs or whining.
Tips app killing my MBP M1!
Everything else (so far) has been fine. But just came back to use it, and the machine was warm, even hot, and a bit slow.
Checked Activity Monitor and Tips was at 59%. Then 84%. Had to force quit.
I'd left it open on, I think, the second page after updating. Didn't think anything of it - until just now.

Didn't look like much had been done to Pages. Reality, however, is that it seems massively faster than it was. I have a document that is more than 20 MB - and it used to take a little while to open. Now very fast.
(And Pages was already so much faster than the previous version of the same document in Word - on AS or within native Windows on Intel.)

Not with the m3, check this: macbook-air
It is worth noting that Apple is now using two 128GB SSDs in the base model MacBook Air, so that machine no longer suffers from slower SSD speeds due to a single SSD module.
So the automatically resizing Finder columns in the early betas are gone now? ((
((My watch seems significantly faster at jumping in and unlocking my macOS devices (mini and MBP) and my phone.
In the past, there were times I found myself checking whether the watch was unlocked - or just typing in a password/using touch ID - because it took a while to "notice" and do anything.
Not at all sure whether the changes are macOS, IOS or WatchOS - or all of them!

I happen to have all three M generations and have measured their SSD speeds:Not with the m3, check this: macbook-air

Mac mini M1 256GB
MacBook Air M2 256GB
iMac M3 256GB
Of the three, M1 SSD is the fastest on BlackMagic speed test, with M2 and M3 at the same, half-speed.
ok, strange. Maybe they only address the problem on the M3 Air, not on the iMac M3, or maybe the macrumor post is wrong.
Hoping I missed it but is there a way in Sequoia to edit the lock screen and change the text on the clock?
Something new I've noticed that's driving me nuts is sometimes when I click the top of a window to move it aside, the window suddenly fills the screen. And I'm not double-clicking it. Double-clicking the window after it fills the screen does nothing. The only way I've found to get it back to its previous size is by moving to the corner edge and manually resizing it. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to turn off that behavior?
