  • New macOS Sonoma 14.4 bug kills file versions in iCloud Drive

    michelb76 said:
    Anyone else have issues with safari logging you out of every site all the time? I have this issue since I updated to 14.4

    I travel a lot for work, so I thought it was because I had been overseas for months and it was picking up my location change... But I've been reading many users having this issue. It's crazy annoying! Constantly having to login to EVERYTHING now, not even just banking sites..

  • Apple's Butterfly keyboard repair program winds down soon

    chasm said:
    This comment is being written on a 2019 MacBook Pro with that keyboard, and it has never given me any issue.

    Now that's just one case, but IIRC Mike here at AppleInsider has mentioned that he kept track of store data about keyboard repairs during the period the program was most active, and didn't see a huge bump over normal everyday "I dropped my drink into my keyboard" type problems.

    If you were affected, of course, it was annoying and the initial solutions before the program came along were not good at all. But not everyone with such a keyboard had the problem, and that's a verifiable fact.
    Is that a 16" 2019 MacBook Pro? Just wondering, because the 16" model was the first to revert back to the usual scissor-style keyboard switches. I didn't have any problems with my 2019 16" Intel MacBook Pro keyboard... But absolutely did with 2x different Touch Bar MacBook Pros, a 13" and a 16", w/ that butterfly keyboard. The 15" MBP went back to Apple twice for top case replacement. First time was sticking S key that would register S randomly in sentences, and like 3-15x when pressed... 2nd time was the exact same issue but with the 9 key. I keep my computers immaculately clean too. Was able to pry the S key off the first time and blow a small amount of dust out (fixed the issue for a day or two), but getting it back on there was extremely more difficult than popping back on the scissor-style caps were/are. The 13" MBP had same issue but with the tab key. At least Apple handled it for free, but not great losing your sole computer for 1-2 weeks in the process. Absolutely loving the M-series MBPs now, 0 complaints there! That last Intel model had me teetering on going back to a windows machine after 20 years w/ Apple now lol.

  • The macOS Sonoma 14.4 update is breaking printers for some users

    Well, considering I have a Xerox multifunction... EVERY MacOS update "breaks" the ability to print lol. Seriously, Xerox sucks the big one for keeping up with Apple updates and new drivers (Usually lagging 9-10 months after each major release, at least back when my model was still "supported"). Oh well, other than the bimonthly working around to get this stupid thing printing normally again, it has been rock solid and I still have 34 years of generic toner in stock... So someday I'll be able to get that sweet sweet Canon-Mac love lol. Best solution for the last 2 years has been connecting it to wifi and using IPP w/ a manually assigned IP address and generic PCL drivers for both my wife and my MacBooks... Any combination of AirPrint/Bonjour/Xerox Drivers (Right?!) and I get 85 sheets of alien script every time I print a shipping label or a document lol.

    And I wouldn't touch an HP printer with a 39.5 foot pole after the last two I had to setup for family members (internet REQUIRED just to print w/ USB?? & Ink Subscription jammed up your arsenal lol no thank you!)

    Seriously though, just setup a Canon multifunction for my mother-in-law and the print and scan install so easily w/ their software and does everything 100% perfectly via wifi, ethernet and USB. Big fan of these and Brother to a slightly lesser extent. Just have to remember: ALL printers suck lol.

  • Apple quietly kills off Siri-only Apple Music Voice Plan

    Oh man, if I had the Music Voice Plan (and could only listen to music using Siri) I probably wouldn't get to listen to much music haha. It works fine on my iPhone and MacBook but man is Siri dumber than a doornail with music requests on HomePods. I've got 4x Minis throughout the house and it's such a fight with amnesia Siri I just end up controlling playback from my phone or watch to avoid the frustration. Can't imagine having to RELY on Siri alone haha.

    Note: there is a bug in watch 10 as it will not display any of the weather info on your watch.  wonder if this latest update is the fix
    Yes! I’ve been seeing the same with my new Series 9. Like sometimes I look at my watch and all the weather complications are blanked out.. and they won’t work again until I manually launch the weather app it seems.
