macOS Mojave (10.14) - Bugs and bug fixes

[AAzul]

Hi
Anyone with this problems? Any solution?
- External Keyboard the undo function (command + Z) doesn't work on the right side and more useful side of the keyboard!
- The delete function now doesn't work in a rapid way when fully-pressed, only one press a the time, very annoying!
Anyone can help? Thanks

Only looked at the wiki post and the last five pages and didn't see this mentioned (mea culpa if I missed it), but I am seeing a glitch with Messages and dark mode, or rather switching from Dark to Light if Messages is Full Screen. I use f.lux to automate the switch at sunrise and sunset but it also occurs even when switching manually.

What happens is the background in the text entry field in messages stays grey when going to Light from Dark. But the text color goes to black so it is very difficult to see what you're typing. The only way to fix is to quit Messages and re-open it.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Messages, put in full screen mode. If you're not in Dark mode already then switch to it.
2. Switch to Light mode
3. Look at your Messages window--the text entry field at the bottom has a gray background (normal for Dark mode) but any text entered is black (normal for Light mode). In Light mode the background should be white.

Note that this bug does not occur when Messages is in windowed mode--only in full screen.

I have tested that this occurs on a 2015 MBPr 15" and a 2015 iMac 5K.

"Reduce transparency" doesn't work well with Dark Mode.

Not sure if this was brought up before, but after tapping Spacebar on an image file, I could press Option/Alt to zoom it to 100%. Now in Mojave, this doesn't work. Instead Cmd 0 does the same thing. Is it possible to use the legacy Option key method?

I no longer have the option to set the period after which my MBP goes to sleep. Is this a bug or an intentional change?

Noticed today that AirPlay to my receiver doesn't work anymore.

I used to be able to airplay my music from iTunes to my Yamaha receiver without issues and now about 20 seconds into a song it becomes choppy and muddled.

my iPhone and iPad have no issues.

I can Airplay perfectly to my Apple TV with my Mac though!

That options was removed years ago for laptops, I guess since they added power nap. It's not a recent change in Mojave.

That change only happened for me with Mojave. Under High Sierra, I still had both sliders.

But okay, maybe it was a bug before.

Anyone having file sharing issues? I when I go to access a shared folder on another Mac, my Finder locks up.

USB hard drives may not always probably eject after upgrading to Mojave 10.14. I'm still having a hard time why this worked, but it was due to Finder.

After upgrading, trash Finder.plist in user profile /Library/Preferences, and reboot...

Microsoft would never have these small issues.. so i'm still trying to figure out why Apple has... 'tighter integration, leads to more issues' perhaps?

You would think a company that works with hardware & software has the least trouble, not the most. Microsoft has have their hands full working with their party devices,but at least when a mistake happens, it never re-appears again later OS's..

I remember, i think in early version of HS, data corruption could occur if you wrote to WD drives.

Not the same issue, but same brand.

The latest windows 10 updated deleted the user data on many computers. Apple is not the only one with bugs.

So I have a Seagate Backup Plus Drive that will not back up after installing Mojave. Ran Disk Utility and have been searching for answers but everything I've found is already showing. It's mounted, usb connection is good etc. Not sure where to look or what to try next. Is this just a compatibility issue perhaps? Thanks for any help or answeres.

Should still be showing. I have them in both my 10.14.1 beta and 10.14 final release installations.



Good luck in resolving it.

I don't have it either - nor did I in High Sierra.

So both my Seagate Bach Up Plus and Lacie external hard drives start to back up but don't finish. Saw that the back up plus family is compatible with Mojave according to a Seagate article but not sure what to check. Tried Disc Utility, ran First Aid, tried different port etc no luck. Anyone else having problems with Time Machine back ups?

Double click on the program in Activity Monitor and go to open files and ports - that will tell you where its launching from.

That's not an Apple program...

doesn't say anything

Try "Sample." That will "sample" the app and open a console log which will show you what its doing.

take a look at this

 

[FNH15]

take a look at this

The path of the program appears to be /Library/KFBKVGZz/KFBKVGZz.app/Contents/MacOS/KFBKVGZz

You can go to /Library (Accessible by going to Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder) and delete that app.

Edit: Looked up some other stuff, appears to be malware. Delete it, I'd also run a malware scan from a reputable source (my personal choice is Malwarebytes @ https://www.malwarebytes.com) to remove any other nefarious apps...

Not any help here but I am having the same issue. Don’t have a clue how to resolve or where to turn for assistance. TM backup hangs at Pteparing Backup.
