macOS Ventura 13.2.1 - Bug Fixes, Changes, and More!

[Brachaci]

Anyone else have that stupid bug with bin? You push empty and stuck and you must cancel and push empty again.

I haven’t experienced this one myself. Only issue I have is with Music app which while listening to radio crashes down after few minutes of listening and after reopening the app it works well. This is happening on both my Intel iMac27 (2020) and M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14.

With the Music app, I´ve having a really hard time trying to stream Apple Music content. Most of the time I click on a song and it just stalls there, or loads very slowly snd cuts... same thing with IOS 16.3.1


Sigh...

I see the Mail App still isn't able to recognize what's read and what's unread...



...and yes, I've gone thru every single folder in every single mail account. No unread mail anywhere. It's shown that I've had 2 unread emails for a couple months now.

Also adding that, and yes I know there’s an entire post about iCloud tabs and syncing, none of my Safari bookmarks can be edited. I’ve tried changing just the names of a few saved bookmarks, and it errors out telling me iCloud is currently syncing and to wait. Been waiting months! 😂 Looks as though when I make a change in bookmarks on my iPhone, though, it doesn’t sync to my iPad. So I guess I’m not missing much. Just doesn’t work anywhere. I've actually added another iCloud Safari Tab to bring it to a total of 4 iCloud Tabs my iPhone says my MBP has open, when it doesn't.

But, I can't even edit or rename a Bookmark. I can't even move it's position in a folder without seeing this:


I've gone to great lengths to try and fix this, too. I've even turned off iCloud for Safari completely, waited a couple minutes & rebooted, and then waited a few minutes before turning iCloud for Safari back on again. I was even prompted to Merge my Bookmarks with iCloud Bookmarks! But still after hours and hours, I still can't make any changes to my own Bookmarks or even see changes reflected across devices.

iCloud Tabs is a Mess.

I've also just noticed iCloud Calendars aren't syncing for me, either.

I've opened FB11976762 & FB12045859 for these issues...

is it worth upgrading from 13.0 on base M1 MBA?

Security fixes aside, looking to performance/stability/nagging UX bugs/battery life

Has this file sharing bug been fixed, or is there a solid workaround?

Not working yet here. Argh. We can't work now whit file sharing. My new Mac Studio and Mac Mini don't work and freezes.

 

[gank41]

Well Apple Mail, how many is it?? Five or One??

The answer will surprise you!
(it's four unread emails)



What seems to "fix" this temporarily is to just make any/all mail accounts inactive, Close Mail, then reopen and enable each/any account. But, at some point it happens again...

Also in Mail, sometimes swiping to delete will let me swipe allllll the way to delete. Sometimes swiping to delete only will reveal the option to delete.

Jeez, how the heck did the broken smb file sharing bug slip through the testing process? I've read Apple has just fixed it in the latest beta release of 13.3 Ventura.

Does anyone experience the mouse randomly disappearing for minutes at a time? I end up having to basically fiddle with the mouse all over the screen to get it to reappear. I never had this issue before updating to Ventura on my Macbook Pro...
