OMG I FOUND THE MOST HILARIOUS BUG IN MACOS AND PODCASTS APP...
1. First, I should NEVER be able to make a window this narrow in macOS app. You need a min width/height set for your app. How was this overlooked? Mac is 3rd class citizen at Apple it seems.
2. If you get it at this narrow width, you can no longer get it back to normal size. It's suck.
3. Quit and relaunch you say? Nope, app crashes upon relaunching now every time. See 2nd toot for this.
So this is cool in #macOSSequoia I’m on my Mac, deleting large videos from Messages via the Storage settings, and I am searching in Photos to make sure I have them there as well. If I search for “Dancing” it finds videos with dancing in them, but it also moves the playhead to where it thinks the dancing actually starts.
Ah it's just Finder BS magic. I really dislike magic. #macOSSequoia #macosx
Yo Mac users. Is ~/Library/iCloud\ Drive\ new? Didn't these documents used to live in Mobile Documents or something? This seems much easier to find now and it concerns me lol
This is on my new MacBook Pro with M4 Pro running the latest public macOS Sequoia 15.2.
Every time I click the Next button to go to the next track, the whole Home view flickers in Music.app.
It also randomly flickers but for sure it flickers every time I click the Next button.
@caseyliss Hi. Have you heard of this Time Machine backup failure in macOS Sequoia that has hit a number of people, including myself?
It goes like this, a backup fails with the message "Time Machine did not finish backing up because some files were unavailable. Backups will resume when your Mac is unlocked."
My Mac Studio never sleeps, and there is no screensaver password. The backup failed while I was using it, in fact. There's no "unlocking" to be done...
I started seeing this upgrading from 15.0 to 15.1.1. No backup has completed since.
Thread about it here, and end of page 2 I post some TM logs with many errors:

For those looking for iOS 18, SEPTEMBER 16, that's NEXT WEEK!
This is along with iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia and watchOS 11.
Note that first release will NOT have Apple Intelligence.
That'll come next month.
Not sure if anyone else has taken apart the new #macossequoia Macintosh screensaver of classic Mac OS images. I was diving into the assets and noticed a number of .program files, which I haven't seen before. The contents are pretty interesting and appear to be English-like playback commands - anyone know any more details?
In macOS Sequoia, Apple has continued along the path of locking down the Mac. Running an app that has not been signed and notarised by a registered developer is now even more difficult.
In this article, I walk through what this means and how you can work around it.
Well, that sucks. I just realized that #macOSSequoia removed the hidden option to rate songs by the half-star in #iTunes/ #AppleMusic from certain view modes.I used that. A lot.
But, apparently, I was the only one, since I seem to be the first person who has noticed. This is the third major bug or issue I've found in the Sequoia version of Music.app in, what's it been,two weeks?
(Custom stop-times for tracks no longer work, and you can't play tracks directly off an audio CD, only rip them)
Whoa whoa whoa
Are you telling me that, even in #macOS Sequoia, there is no #AppleMusic widget I can place on my desktop?
How.
Yes I solved this problem with a widget from SongShift, a great app for moving or sharing playlists between services that you should totally download and use and maybe give a few bucks because I want it to stick around.
But still.
How. #macOSsequoia #Apple #widgets
Ok what is with more #Mac apps asking for permission to scan the local network to check for other apps and collect data? Is this a #macOSsequoia thing?
With some apps it kiiiinda makes sense, like Things 3 trying to sync your tasks faster. But what would Airmail, an email client, need with being able to scan my local network? #Apple
Der Bug findet betrifft auch den #Mac. Ich habe leider massive Probleme damit.

Well, it looks like option-shift (⌥ ⇧) keyboard shortcuts are a thing of the past from now on.
Yet another instance where Apple oversteps its bounds, preventing users from configuring and using their own Macs the way they want to, under the guise of “safety”.
For those of you following the whole "macOS Sequoia firewall conflicting with security tools" thing, I'm curious whether anyone has seen any reporting that identifies how to reproduce it. Firewall on, yes, but after that? Is it sporadic? Is there any other condition that needs to be met? Or is this all still unknown? #macOS #macOSSequoia
(I ask because we can't reproduce it, but we don't know if it's because we haven't hit the right conditions or if we're somehow not affected.)
If you’re experiencing networking issues on macOS Sequoia such as interrupted SSL and SSH connections, slow speeds on VPN, packet loss, etc – there is a bug in the firewall. As reported by u/RomanaOswin here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1fihlge/comment/lnngp9n/
The symptom I experienced was the macOS ChatGPT app failing to send messages, sync previous chats, and update settings. The ChatGPT website works, just not the app. Turning off the firewall fixes it.
This old Reddit post saved the day. If you're having network issues check Activity Monitor for any Little Snitch processes and follow the steps here…

Spent the morning troubleshooting my network issues with #macOSSequoia.
Turns out it was the Little Snitch extension which must’ve been just chilling in the background since my last computer because I haven’t used it in ages and thought it was fully uninstalled.
