![]() The version comes with the number of build 21F5058e. MacOS 12.4 beta 2 is now available through the OTA update system for developers who are already testing the first beta of that version, as well as being available on Appleās developer website. Today is beta day in Cupertino, and following the release of the first macOS 12.4 beta for developers and public testers just two weeks agojust a few minutes ago these developers can start testing the second beta of macOS Monterey 12.4. just launched macOS Monterey 12.4 beta 2 for developers. Today is beta day, and from Cupertino they have released new versions for the software developers of all the devices that have a bitten apple printed on them, including Macs. Sometimes it may go slower, and other times faster, but it is sure to always be working and ensuring the safety and comfort of its users. ![]() The new beta and its subsequent general release will fix none of those.The Apple machine never stops. When a new bug gets into your workflow, your heart sinks and your stress levels peak, because you know that this is it forever it's never going to get sorted. As another poster herein observes, nothing ever seems to get fixed we just see the bugs get worse and more numerous. There are Reddit threads for just about all of them, so please don't add "works for me" comments - good for you it doesn't work for a lot of other people. ![]() These are faults I've experienced consistently personally on a wide variety of machines, of a wide age span and across Intel and x86, both brand new purchased with Monterey from the start back to machines upgraded over several years of macOS releases. Now that sometimes works or sometimes, bizarrely, your scroll gesture makes the mouse pointer move instead.you get the idea. You used to be able to reliably use a two-finger scroll gesture at the same time as the drag. rename a tab group involves fighting it constantly dropping input focus until eventually it settles long enough for you to type something (which may or may not get sync'd) * Safari: Adding/deleting tabs within a tab group can cause a "dead" tab that can't be closed and doesn't change no matter what you try to visit * Safari: Make enough changes in tab groups and the browser will outright crash * Safari: Things in a tab group are trapped forever and you have to manually pull them out if you want to remove the tab group but keep the tabs (deleting a tab group will replace every window on every device that has that tab group with a tabs from an apparently-arbitrarily-chosen other tab group, but in a kinda-broken state where they don't quite sync properly and, of course, what you wanted it to do was just delete the group, but leave your Safari windows and their tabs open - just not in a named group anymore) * Safari: M1 only AFAICS, gets into a state where external link opens don't work - the browser gains focus but no new page or tab opens requires actual reboot, not just a Safari quit/restart to resolve fortunately, very rare * iCloud drive: Can fail to sync, as above, anyone at Apple notice a pattern here?! * macOS: Since round about Monterey, a rewritten trackpad driver appears to have a very large number of race conditions which can introduce super-annoying misbehaviour such as: You're dragging something. So here's my own "does it fix" list: * Apple Music: Internal "failed to prepare to play" error (API level) -> track silently skipped, next one plays * Apple Music: Track slight stutter at start of any and all lossless playbacks, most noticeable with rhythmic track intros * Apple Music: After a while of working, gets into a state where it completely fails to sync playlist changes at all and never works again until you sign out of every single device everywhere then sign back in one by one, after which it works for a while until it subsequently, once again, breaks (iOS works fine, Cider works fine and astonishingly even iTunes works fine when loaded via Retroactive on the very same x86 machine where Music is sitting there, failing to sync anything) * Apple Music: Very slow playback startup with lossless, sometimes just goes with lossy for no reason * Apple Music: Super janky and inconsistent "back" button behaviour, when it's even visible * Apple Music: Catalyst apps can't play any Apple Music content whatsoever it's simply broken, acknowledged by Apple engineering several months ago but apparently making basic music playback work is a super hard challenge for today's l33t super-well-paid engineering staff or something?! * Safari: Tab group changes completely fail to sync, see playlists above * Safari: Attempting to e.g.
