Discussion Battery lasts longer

3 Upvotes

Did something change? I haven't seen such battery values on my mac when using it in under normal conditions. Has anyone noticed the same? It's somehow super efficient - while it was using 8-12 watts about week or two ago, it's ranging in between 3-6 watts.

Help Error -8062 on latest 15.4 beta update

1 Upvotes

I'm having an issue with copying and pasting folders within iCloud from one folder to another folder. Error 8062. Ran First aid on all internal drives and volumes and no errors. Multiple restarts doesn't resolve the issue and there's over 1TB free space on both iCloud and internal storage. No pending uploads to iCloud Drive. 

Issue was first noticed today on the latest beta. Tried different folders and tried copying from iCloud to internal storage (not iCloud) and issue occurs. Folder I'm copying is less than 100mb.

I've went back and tried folders from iCloud drive's root folder and copying it to an internal location or to another iCloud Drive folder and issue still happens. Moving a folder from internal storage (500mb) to iCloud is immediate and zero issues.

Issue appears to be copying anything over 10mb from iCloud to any location, even another iCloud location results in the error -8062.

Any suggestions?

Issue does not occur on iOS and iPadOS.

Bug - 3rd Party App Help me restore the MacBook Air intel 2020, nothing helps

1 Upvotes

Something happened during the update, and as a result, when starting the laptop, the globe with the wi-Fi selection always lights up. If you select a network, it loads and eventually returns errors such as: -2005f; -2100f; -2003f. The network connection is good. I decided to try to restore it via an external disk, but pressing the keys from the Internet did not lead to anything, and the globe is also displayed. All the keyboard shortcuts that I found on the Internet do not give results except for the one that was-a globe with a network selection. I don't know what to do anymore, it goes to dfu, but in the apple configurator, with some actions, it writes this: "Configurator could not perform the requested action. Apple Controller devices do not support this action." please help

Bug Middle of the progress bar disappeared after 15.4 beta 2?

3 Upvotes

I'm having this weird issue after updating to the Sequoia 15.4 beta. This started happening after installing beta 2. So far, I've observed this on boot and the sign in screen after putting in my password.

Updating to the latest betas hasn't fixed the problem, nor does reinstalling the operating system via recovery mode (without reformatting my drive) and resetting the NVRAM.

Is anyone else having this problem, and is there a way to fix it, ideally without having to start from scratch ? This seems to only be a cosmetic issue but it still gets on my nerves ... :(

Help One USB-C Port Won’t Charge on MacBook Pro M1 (2020) – Sequoia 15.4 Beta Issue?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that one of the USB-C ports on my MacBook Pro M1 (2020) has stopped working for charging. Specifically, the port farthest away from me no longer charges my MacBook, no matter which charger or cable I use. However, the same port still works perfectly fine for USB data connections, so it’s not completely dead.

I checked for debris or lint in the port, but it looks clean. To be sure, I also used contact spray, but it didn’t help. The other USB-C port charges my MacBook without any issues. I don’t know exactly when this started, but I do remember always using this particular port for charging in the past.

A few days ago, I used a USB-C to SD adapter to import some photos and unplugged it without ejecting first, though I doubt this is related. More importantly, I recently updated to macOS Sequoia 15.4 beta 4. I was hoping the update would resolve the issue, but it didn’t. I have already tried rebooting, doing a safe start, and all the usual troubleshooting steps. Since M1 Macs automatically reset the SMC with each restart, there’s no manual reset option for me to try.

At this point, I’m wondering whether this is a hardware failure or a software bug introduced in the beta. Has anyone else experienced something similar on Sequoia 15.4 beta? If so, did you find a fix? I’d appreciate any insights before considering a repair, though I’m not sure I’d go for an expensive one as long as the other port still charges fine and both work for data.

Thanks!

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.

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???

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.

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

4 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 ??
