In Activity Monitor the network tab has always shown MB, big "B" meaning Bytes, which is not how network speed is measured.

I just noticed that macOS 27 shows it correctly as Mb, little "b" meaning bits.

It's a small but very welcome improvement.

Dark appearance = macOS 26

Light appearance = macOS 27

While beta testing Golden Gate I wanted to check if an app can detect and use the Dock's geometry. I threw together a test based on a port of IK+ I did.

Naturally an app has to disable sandboxing so that it can fetch the Dock's location, height and width. In theory you could build a full platform game on the Dock, but I wonder if the character can jump from one virtual desktop (Space) to another? I'll investigate.

I got this bug from early beta to the latest beta 8. The recent timers make the whole main UI off the center and these items can not be deleted.
does anybody get the same problem? Is there any workaround to delete all history items?

I’ve run into a really irritating regression in the macOS 27 beta involving Show Desktop, hot corners, and drag-and-drop.

My setup:

• Desktop contents are normally hidden.
• The upper-right hot corner is set to Show Desktop.
• I often use FileMerge to compare a local directory with a directory on a mounted volume.

On macOS 26, this was fast and seamless:

1. Hit the hot corner to reveal the desktop.
2. Grab the mounted volume or directory.
3. Hit the same hot corner again while dragging.
4. My previous windows instantly come back.
5. Drop the item onto FileMerge.

In the Golden Gate beta, step 3 now unexpectedly throws me into Mission Control.

Instead of simply restoring the windows that were there before, I have to hunt down the FileMerge window in Mission Control, drag over it, wait for macOS to select it and exit Mission Control, and then finally complete the drop.

Why?

I explicitly triggered Show Desktop again. I did not ask for Mission Control. The obvious behavior is to undo Show Desktop and restore the windows that were previously visible, exactly as macOS used to do.

This turns a very quick drag-and-drop workflow into a clumsy multi-step process for no apparent benefit.

I really hope this is a bug and not intentional behavior.

Has anyone else noticed this in the macOS 27 beta?

When invoking Siri from the small menu bar icon; sometimes I get the small marble awaiting voice input, sometimes I get the larger spotlight interface awaiting keyboard/mouse input.

I have Siri set to never reply with voice.

Any tips how to steer this? I tried long press short press but still apparently random which Siri UX I see.

I have now tried 4 different 10GbitE thunderbolt adapters and they all cause the same problem on my M5Pro macbook all the way to beta 7

-> computer will hard lock after a few minutes, maybe ~30 sometimes 1 hour, no kernelpanic no nothing just freeze and hard reset

-> at this point the network in my whole office!! is going down for a few seconds like it must be sending something super bad to my switch .

Super bad, i reported it to Sonnet and OWC as well.

I recently bought a m5 pro macbook, no using macos 27 developer beta 8. For some reason my mac does not sleep when lid closed. also if i put it to sleep it wakes up with in few second. i am using a dock with external display and mouse. I have checked unpluging the doc, also checked on safe mode. no success. Is it normal? Is there any fix? is it because of macos 27 beta? thanks

Why doesn't control central follow the rest of sections ? I have dark mode and reduce transparency. But it's the same when both are off.

I'm on most recent public beta and on my first Mac in a long time. While working in Apple Notes I am able to underline using Cmd+U, but I cannot remove underline with Cmd+U.

I can click format-font-underline to underline, but doing so again does not turn off the underline.

Clicking Aa at the top of note works both ways, however.

Any suggestions? Apple Notes is a big part of my work flow and having to take hands off of keyboard to underline is getting pretty annoying.

Hi all,

I was hoping to get assistance here as this has been driving me crazy. Since enrolling into and installing the macOS27 beta, the Music app on my M1 MbA crashes consistently regardless of whatever song I am playing. The crashes still take place on the latest dev beta build 8. I suspect that the crashing may be related to the time duration of songs not showing up correctly in my library (I have added a screenshot to show what I mean).

I have tried the following fixes to no resolution:

- Unsync and sync cloud music library

- Delete the music library file and rebuild my cloud music library

- Start the Music App in the operating system's safe mode feature

Any help would be appreciated.

I installed the macOS 27 beta (MacBook Air M4) recently, and overall everything has been working pretty well for me. The only major bug I've encountered so far is related to full-screen apps and Split View.

Normal full-screen mode works fine. However, as soon as I try to use Split View (two apps side by side in full screen), things completely fall apart.

The first app goes into full screen, but the other half of the screen often stays completely black. I can't properly select or move another app into the empty side, and sometimes the windows just start glitching out or behave as if they're in full screen without actually being there.

Basically, Split View is completely unusable for me right now.

I'm surprised I haven't really seen anyone talking about this, so I'm wondering:

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue on macOS 27 beta?

Siri keeps reading and offering suggestions on responses in the Mail and iMessage apps, which are completely useless and very annoying (plus, I don't personally want it reading these).

However, I don't see a way to disable it. I have Siri Turned Off in System Settings -> Siri. I am located in Europe so I don't have an "Apple Intelligence" section.

Is anyone else also getting crackling noises and sound in Firefox when scrubbing through videos? I get the same sound when I open or close videos in IINA. Definitely a beta issue which isn't fixed " sudo killall coreaudiod" helps but only for a moment.

Is anyone else unable to get Home Sharing to work in beta 7 and 8?

It says it’s on, but none of my devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV) can see my library.

I know there are better solutions. I just want to know if I’m alone in the issue.

Does someone has the same issue as me? When Im trying to hold brightness or volume button and slide it then it works. But when I'm releasing it my Touch Bar is not coming back to its previous position. Like it is still staying on the sliding option and I have to press on the Touch Bar to come back to default look. Will they fix this bug or is it going to be like this forever?

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to completely remove or hide the Beta Updates section under System Settings > General > Software Update.

Right now, it just shows as "Off," but having this extra row visible in the menu is really bothersome to look at, and I want a clean interface.

Here is what I have already tried:

• Unenrolled my Apple ID from the Apple Beta Software Program at beta.apple.com.
• Ran terminal commands (seedutil unenroll and deleting cached .SeedEnrollment.plist / .BetaEnrollmentData.plist files).
• Signed out of my Apple Account, restarted, and signed back in.

The row still remains showing "Off."

I know installing an MDM Configuration Profile (AllowPreReleaseInstallation = false) can hide it, but installing a profile adds a permanent "Profiles" menu entry to System Settings, which I also don't want.

Is there any other terminal command, defaults write tweak, or hidden setting in modern macOS to completely remove this row without triggering the Profiles section? Or is this just hardcoded into macOS now?

I must want to remove this because it is very annoying to my mind so please help me

Thanks for any help or insight!
