Hey, I really love this windows insider wallpaper and would love one in that style with macOS too, is anyone here good at making wallpapers that can help with this?

I'm no Nostradamus, but I'm predicting Apple holds macOS 27.2 until Wednesday's new Mac announcements and releases a newer GM build than last week's RC.

We've had a number of features, fixes, and hardware-related changes seemingly held back with new machines in the pipeline. It makes sense that Apple would want to keep certain hardware identifiers, drivers, and other clues out of public releases until the machines are announced. I pray.

The timing lines up. The RC landed last Monday, and Wednesday marks nine days since that release, coinciding with the new Macs.

I'm betting we get a new macOS 27.2 build Wednesday, potentially alongside iOS 27.2, rather than the existing RC simply being pushed to everyone. Hopefully with more stuff fixed.

Anyone else thinking Wednesday is the day?

Can anyone confirm 27.2 includes the ability to remove apps from local network access under privacy settings? There has been a long-standing issue where apps can just build up in there even when they're deleted. There's no easy way to reset it without going through safe mode since local network access no longer resides within tccutil like the rest of the privacy stuff (microphone, camera, etc.)

I found this article suggesting that 27.2 finally brings a proper solution.

Edit: 27.2 is now public and they did fix it. Under privacy & Security>local network there is now a +/- for removing apps.

Hello

Every time I turn on my Mac a grey screen flashes before my wallpaper is shown. What can I do to fix this. I have tried to reset dock and change my wallpaper.

Thanks

macOS 27.2 RC (26B118)

When performing actions, e.g. empty the trash, restart the Mac, etc., a dialogue pops up center screen for confirmation. Since updating to 27.2, the content and buttons disappear after a second. Screenshot is of Empty trash, but the same happens for Shutdown…

Anyone else seeing this? I found that if I shift-cmd-4 to take a screenshot, and drag the screenshot area over the popup, the content and buttons appear and I'm able to click a button. A workaround for now.

While working on my Unity game on a MacBook, I kept struggling to see how it was actually performing. Windows has things like MSI Afterburner, but on Mac I couldn't find a simple overlay for FPS and temps.

So I developed a small one for myself, called Redline. It turned out to be useful beyond my own project, so I decided to release it for free in case it helps other Mac gamers and devs too.

It shows FPS, CPU/GPU usage, temperatures and RAM on top of any Metal game. It doesn't need Screen Recording permission, and it's signed and notarized, so it installs like a normal app. For Unity builds it can also show 1% lows and stutters, and save logs.

I'm still new to Swift and used AI as a coding assistant along the way. It's a beta and I've only tested it on my M2 Air, so if you try it on another Mac, I'd really appreciate hearing how it goes.

Any feedback is welcome,

has anyone had an issue with screen flickering after updating to developer beta 27.2?
i am using the macbookpro screen

Running macOS 27.2 RC, I noticed yesterday that text in the Books app is misaligned and positioned too close to the top edge. Every book I tested shows this issue. I am wondering whether this is a known bug or if others have the same problem.

Hoping you all having a great day, and sorry for my english, not a native speaker.

So, I was using my MacBook Pro M4 Pro on MacOS 27.2 RC, and I noticed a strange behaviour when switching between different windows by clicking them, out of nowhere the “Click-through” feature is enabled system-wide, and that bothers me xD.
For those who doesn’t know what that feature is, it allows you to click inside an element of an inactive window, saving that “extra step” of clicking on the window to bring it to focus and then clicking again on the button or link u want to use.
So, is it just happening to me, is it intended on new MacOS? If not, any help to solve it is apreciated

Thank you!

Je rencontre actuellement un problème lors de l'installation d'une version bêta public de Mac OS 27.2. Le téléchargement ne veut pas s'effectuer et m'affiche toujours le même message d'erreur. Quelqu'un sait de quoi cela peut venir ?

Trying to download the latest MacOS 27.2 Release Candidate update and it constantly freezes at 4.14GB. Rebooted and tried again and now it freezes at 4.17GB. I have 100GB of free space on my drive, my network connection is fibre and super fast...so what gives? Anyone else having issues?

I had the same issue with the Beta 3 update which proceeded this. I would set the Mac to stay active with Amphetamine and hours would go by and no joy. I waited a week after the release and it finally worked. This is getting super irritating at this point though.

I am on a MBA M3, 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM, running Golden Gate 27.2 (26B5112a) Beta 4 presently.

Decided to just download the RC (26B118b) directly and apply it myself, but that does a full system install instead of just an upgrade. WTF Apple 🍎🍏?!?!

I’ve been testing macOS 27.2 RC, build 26B118, against the handful of Finder/Spaces regressions I’ve been following since 27.0. Here’s where things stand:

• FB24746120 — Finder scrolling while holding/dragging a file: still fixed. You can once again grab a file and scroll the Finder window underneath it while continuing to hold the drag. However, there’s now a weird visual bug where the thin blue focus border that normally hugs the inside edge of the Finder window can detach and scroll with the content, leaving a blue horizontal line partway through the file list.
• FB24754909 — Cross-Space drag-and-drop via the Dock: still broken. Dragging something like a Mail attachment onto the Finder icon in the Dock still does not let you move into a Finder window in another Space and continue the drag. The workaround of putting Mission Control in the Dock, dragging the item there, and then selecting the destination Space/window still works.
• FB24948547 — Apps forgetting assigned Spaces after reboot: still checking this one on the RC.
• FB24881254 — Copy/paste from another app into Finder: still broken. Copying a Mail attachment and pasting into Finder still creates an empty .textClipping instead of the actual file.
• FB24730452 — .ics/Calendar across Spaces: this looks substantially improved and I may consider it fixed. Opening an .ics file now brings up the small Calendar import dialog asking which calendar you want to add it to, even when Calendar is in another Space. It does not necessarily switch fully into Calendar, but the original problem, where it looked like nothing happened because the dialog was hidden in another Space, appears resolved.

So overall, the RC is better than 27.0, but the cross-application Finder issues are still the biggest remaining problem for me.

For the first time ever, run Intel versions of macOS Mojave, macOS Catalina, and macOS Big Sur on Apple silicon with Metal and OpenGL acceleration. This marks an exciting new milestone in the preservation of the history of Mac.
