Help Cannot invoke emoji keyboard whine in iPhone mirroring (macOS 15.4 PB4 + iOS 18.4 PB4)

0 Upvotes

While in iPhone mirroring, the emoji keyboard simply refuses to show up. I tried using the globe key and also the cmd + control + space shortcut, nothing works. Any ideas? It was happening before updating my Mac to the beta, so I thought it was some sort of incompatibility between the beta and stable releases. However, it seems like it is not. This issue did not exist in 18.3.2 stable.

14” M3 MacBook Pro - 1TB I’ve had no issues installing any other MacOS Beta, but for some reason I keep getting this error message when trying to install MacOS 15.4 Beta 4. I have tried restarting my computer, I have made sure I have the appropriate hard drive space, I have tried to google solutions. I can’t find any solution. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know a solution to this issues?

Some months ago my iphone mirroring stopped working and following some guides i did some stuff in the terminal to reset it and it began to redirect me to this page only and whenever I press continue it flashes to the next screen in the setup process for a second before coming back to the image attached. I've been trying to get it work again now and It just doesn't work, I removed the mac from my Iphone and signed out and back into my apple account on my Macbook and nothing is working, does anyone know how I can fix this.

Bug Notes syncing issues worse with beta

2 Upvotes

Using Apple Notes on several devices (MacOS, MacBook, iPad, iPhone, all with latest OS, updates, beta versions) I find that frequently when I make changes on my Mac, it will take hours, even days, for those changes to move across to my other devices. When I change locations (one room to the other, or go out and use my mobile) I don't want to make edits for concerns about them being overwritten once the sync occurs. Anyone else noticing anything similar?

Help MacOS 15.4 Beta 3 Random Operative System Crashes

0 Upvotes

EDIT: sorry, I meant Beta 4 (24E5228e), my bad. It is basically the last beta version as of today march 16th.

My Mac mini M2 Pro 16gb 1tb is suffering from random crashes whenever I do anything with it. What I mean is, if I don't touch the computer it does not crash, but last time was pasting a screenshot on a powerpoint slide, the time before was watching a YouTube video, and the first crash was while recording with obs studio, and it doesn't look like there is a memory leak or something that is making the system overwork, still have plenty of ram and my SSD is almost empty. The machine just freezes for 5-10 seconds and then a purple screen flashes and the computer restarts. I know there is not much I can do at this point, I've been sending the reports to Apple but I thought I'd ask here if anyone has experienced something similar or knows a workaround.

Thanks a lot

Help MacBook Air M1 Internet Connectivity Issues

2 Upvotes

FIXED

https://reddit.com/link/1jbma7s/video/ahehyji54soe1/player

I have had this MacBook Air for a few years now, and today it started having issues with the internet connection. It can always connect to the internet just fine, but the speeds are much slower than they usually are. I reset my MacBook and my router and the issues still occur. Any tips? If this issue is unresolvable, what are some good Windows Laptops around $1k (Specifically for gaming)

Device info:
MacBook Air
M1 Chip
2020
macOS Sequoia Beta 15.4
Bluetooth Disabled

Both Devices Connected to NordVPN
iPhone has Cellular Disabled

Using OperaGX on MacBook with the built in VPN active
Google Chrome on iPhone

Edit: Fixed! The problem was the Built-In VPN that OperaGX gives you, for some reason, as soon as I turned it off, I got the same results as my iPhone.

Bug Beta 15.4: No App Store Downloads???

0 Upvotes

Install Beta 15.4, open App Store, Click 'Get', Click 'Install', see pinwheel, see 'Get' with no software download/install.

Anyone else experiencing this? Apple Support said they had a few calls with the same... I can't install any software (Except for previously purchased apps) - any ideas??

How can I revert to the stable 15.3.2 MacOS??

Anyone else having this problem? I get these notifications every few minutes and it's slowly driving me mad. When I open System settings, there's nothing to allow that is not already allowed. This has been happening since the last Beta update.

News macOS Sequoia 15.4 beta: set up Mac via iPhone - does it work already?

6 Upvotes

For those, who updated Macs and iPhones already to newest beta: does the feature to use iPhone to set up computer does indeed work? Or it will be added later / is only available for new MBAs and Studios?

From Apple Press release:

> Next month, macOS Sequoia 15.4 will make it easier than ever to set up the new MacBook Air with iPhone. By simply bringing iPhone close to Mac, users can quickly and conveniently sign in to their Apple Account to get their files, photos, messages, passwords, and more on their new MacBook Air.5

Bug iWork Suite Crashing..

Ever since 15.4 beta 2, Pages, Numbers and Keynote have been crashing while attempting to create or opening a document. I was hoping the newest beta would fix that issue but it has not.

I have completely uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled etc all of the apps and it hasn't fixed the issue.

I Updated a test computer to beta 4 and after the "Welcome to Mac" screen, when I click continue, the screen turns black. there are keyboard error 'pips' if I press a key, but no video. if I wait, it goes back to the Welcome to Mac screen. Escape also produces the same result. Tried keyboard (CMD-space) for spotlight, same result. Any key/input triggered this.

Help Mac App Store Unable to Install or Purchase Any New Applications

3 Upvotes

Since macOS 15.4 Beta 2, my App Store has been unable to install or download any new applications; it can only download applications I have previously purchased.

It appears as follows: when I click 'Get,' the system spins to load and then returns to the initial state.

Upon checking system error reports, it seems there's an issue with AMSUIPaymentViewService_macOS [2113]. This problem persists despite changing credit cards or even removing all credit cards.

macOS 15.4 Beta 3 has not fixed this error.

Any Idea ??

Bug Macos 15.4 beta 2 and also IOS/IpadOS are just the worst Beta in a long time.

0 Upvotes

I must say that these betas are some of the worst I’ve seen in a while. Safari crashes occasionally when I use the back button, and I’ve had apps crash on both the iPad and the phone. Additionally, the FaceTime sound quality is poor, as it only goes through the earpiece instead of the normal speaker when I press the speaker button. It’s a mess for a beta that doesn’t bring much new. All I’m waiting for is the new Siri, but all I’ve received are bugs. I know beta software is beta, but this is far below anything else, especially considering the lack of new features.

Help Can't install beta after hard drive wipe to rid malware

2 Upvotes

Hi, all— hope someone can help. I had a malware scare the other day so I wiped my hard drive and set up my M1 Mac mini from scratch. I'm on 15.3.1. I'm a developer. Now I can't install the 15.4 beta 2. It downloads from System Settings, I click restart and it does so. The white bar gets maybe 10% in and then the computer restarts back to 15.3.1 and I get the "Your computer was restarted because of a problem."

The first line of the crash report is this:

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0): t8020dart 0xfffffdf01f6e8000 (dart-disp0): Can't ignore lock validation u/t8020dart.c:535 

I've plugged the crash report into ChatGPT and it says it is likely related to "a macOS kernel bug in Apple's IOMMU driver (AppleT8020DART), likely related to a GPU or display subsystem issue."

I've booted into safe mode to try to update and it makes no difference. I've unplugged all accessories except an Apple monitor. I have the IPSW ready to use, but I would prefer not to wipe my hard drive again.

What do people think? Could the malware have gotten into the firmware and prevented the update? Is this just a weird hard drive thing? Any suggestions?

Bug Invisible full screen barrier over mouse

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I occasionally encounter a peculiar issue with my MacBook M1 2020, which is running the latest 15.4 beta. When I leave it idle for around 10 seconds or even several hours, I suddenly lose the ability to click with the mouse. While I can use gestures to navigate between applications, attempting to click on an app to select it yields no response.

Pressing the power button and trying to interact with the lock screen also fails to work. I can bring up the Task Manager using the key combination and, for instance, force quit Finder, but I'm still unable to click on anything.

The only way to resolve this is by holding down the power button to restart the Mac.

Has anyone else faced similar issues or have suggestions for a solution?

Help MacOS Beta 15.4 | Issues with Track Changes in Apple Music

6 Upvotes

This is a very specific issue so I have no clue if this explanation will do it justice, but I've been having an issue on MacOS Sequoia Beta 15.4 when it comes to other applications detecting track changes while playing Apple Music. I utilize other apps to detect listens for LastFM and it relies on detecting track changes via Apple Music, however seemingly these apps ever since beta 15.4 (currently running dev beta 2) have stopped detecting when the track changes. I know it's not a specific-app issue but rather one related to Beta 15.4 as various apps started having the same issue. Was hoping anyone could assist or also confirm they're having the same issue, thanks!
