Hello,
A simple update to macOS 15.0.1 is enough or I have to use OCLP 2.0.2 to create again a USB Drive with macOS 15.0.1 ? What is the process ? Kernel Debug Kit 15.0.1 build 24A348 is necessary ? Th@nks.

I have no idea. Please ask in this thread:

macOS 15 Sequoia on Unsupported Macs Thread

This thread is not made for running sequoia on unsupported Mac’s.

I move it to the good thread

screen shot, and long press to add screen shot directly to the photo library still do not work

I've noticed that my iPhone and iPad no longer work in Finder. I can see them listed in the Side Bar, but when I click on them it just opens to a blank window.

Seems to be a slow memory leak. I rebooted my iMac Pro after it was using 18 GB of RAM with my usual workload, restarted everything and it's running around 10 GB of RAM right now. The system had been up for 21 days. This system is still running 15.0. I see 15.1 beta is in the works so hopefully they clean up most memory leaks in that release.

Are we no longer able to see our iPhones & iPads in Finder now? I've restarted my Mac mini and my iPhone & iPad. Not sure what gives..

I do see them on my system. When they don't show up, I shoot the processes that have device in them and it usually goes back to working. But I did this in Sonoma too.

Must be an issue on your side. I am currently at school and don't have access to a lighting to usb-c cable at the moment, but I will check as soon as I get home.
If I do have the issue on a fresh 15.0.1, I will add it to the issues.

My MacBook Pro Max M1 on 15.01 is unable to complete a Time Machine backup to my NAS. It begins but gets to about 700MB before it errors out saying the destination disk disconnected. If I turn off the Firewall in System Settings -> Network, it completes just fine.

Just got off the phone with Apple support where I duplicated the problem for them. They confirm they have had "several" reports of Firewall problems since the 15.01 update. They are "looking into it." I have a call-back scheduled for Friday for an update.

Just thought I let the community know, so no one spends a day troubleshooting why Time Machine isn't working.

Thanks!

Looks like we're STILL unable to use an Album in the Photos App to cycle through Desktop Background Wallpaper Randomly. This has been an issue since late in macOS 13, might as well just remove the option...

See FB13282770

I have been pointing to a duplicate folder full of images via the Finder that rotates as expected. It took far too long to find that solution a year or two ago. Why does this issue remain? Setting this up as an intern challenge or something like that would be an easy and fun fix. "We punted this to the interns, let's see what they come up with". Could have fun with this on socials, and put this issue to rest for good. I feel like this would be a good story for someone to get hired by Apple, go and fix this, and then immediately quit.

Same, I’ve got a rotating Finder folder full of 900+ images that randomly cycle thru for my background now. Used to just be able to use a Photos album folder. I keep updating my Feedback, too, and it does have the “more than 10” listing lol

I'm experiencing issues when connecting to Windows RDP servers. Using both the Microsoft Remote Desktop App and the Windows.app. After a few minutes the session is disconnected with the following note:
Your session ended because of a data encryption error. If this keeps happening, contact your network administrator for assistance.
Error code: 0x407 . I now have this on three updates Mac's. But I am wondering weather it is maybe an external factor

The mediaanalysisd bug is still there. If my Mac is plugged in and idle for 5 minutes the logs will start filling up with the following error. In total there are tens of thousands of errors a minute.

I consider that an annoyance. What is more serious is that mediaanalysisd + mds_stores are writing about 500 GB a day to one of my external SSDs. That is definitely at the worrying level if it continues.

mediaanalysisd has lots of Photos libraries open. Presumably it s repeating something over and over (which would be closer to the bug).

But I do have a workaround: I created a new APFS volume with Spotlight disabled (using mdutil) and moved my Photos libraries into it. I didn't want to disable spotlight on my main APFS volume for photos because there are lots of images on there (used by Lightroom, etc.) for which I do like to have Spotlight because of its image content indexing.

That seems to have quietened mediaanalysisd to a more acceptable level. But still "Failed to load Scene Taxonomy for analysis version" errors in the log. I suspect these relate to indexing of the Photos libraries which are still indexed (Core Spotlight) even though they are now on a disk with file system Spotlight disabled.

Since ugrade from 15.0 to 15.0.1, sometimes when MBPro M2 Max is wakeup, I get a kernel panic (and always the same):

Don't know if I'm alone in this case and how to fix it.

Have been having a continual problem with Messages in Sonoma and Sequoia, where it immediately Beachballs and freezes every time I launch the app. I can't open send, or compose a Message, because it Freezes with the spinning Beachball until I Force Quit, if not, it will eventually eat up all of my RAM on my M1 Max, 64GB of RAM, 4TB SSD. What can I do, I have already re-booted.
