Thanks for sharing. I just finished updating my M1 iMac. Blessings on your day.
I appreciate your what’s new videos. Thank you for being so detailed.
I appreciate you do videos for new macOS updates. For me, macOS is more important to iOS because that's the OS I use the most so I like to know whats really new and what's change in new versions.
Good to know! I will continue making them despite not near as much interest as iOS and watchOS
^yeah I agree. I like to watch iOS update videos but Mac is my main interest. On the other hand I understand how har it is to search through the software for changes.
@@arkadiusz6688 yeah I like iOS videos as well and ai understand it’s more popular but I appreciate this channel give some love to the Mac as well. I use my phone and iPad slot but like you my Mac is my main device.
Same here.
wonderful 〜 thank you again Brandon!
Really thanks for two nice thinks: 1) Information about Business related stuff 2) Information about local German features. I enjoy your videos and newsletter.
🤝
Thanks for the info👌👌👌
Thanks! Really helps me decide if I want to update my OCLP as updates are sometimes buggy on old/unsupported hardware
Thanks for the deets!
EXCELLENT. i'm updating right now as i'm typing.
Great overview, thanks for making it despite being less popular than iOS.
Updating now, hoping they fixed the issue with desktop widgets colors wrong after switching desktops. 🤞
Love the MacOS videos! I know not as much interest in them compared to IOS but we are really really appreciate those video! Thanks ❤
Can I ask you what background you have? Is it your image, or is it the preset Apple ones?
Is the Bluetooth bug fixed? I cannot use a Bluetooth mouse and headset at the same time on Mac before 14.4
Still haven't fixed the add app button in Personal Voice settings being grayed out/disabled...
Updated my 2015 macbook air to sonoma 14.4 with open core legacy patcher. So far so good
I would like to get my iphone and ipad battery % on the mac bat widget natively, i dont want to spend 15 bucks on an app just for that. Thanks for the info Brandon!
Forgive my dumb question, but how do you get the video camera icon on the upper taskbar/toolbar thing?
Brandon you didn’t record the cursor initially and had to recreate it later, right?
I’m on Mac Catalina and my iMac is a 2013 air display. Is it truly safe to update it now to Mac Sonoma? Any slow downs?
How is that pointer so smooth? What did you do to make that pointer stay smooth?
Settings
Have you tried using the camera on iPhone/iPad apps?
is it ok to update this on macbook pro 2020?
how do you get that display on the top left for your airpods
I updated my M1 MacBook Air. It great to see the see the many security patches and bug fixes, however the one annoying bug that was introduced with macOS Sonoma 14.0 is still not fixed and that is the crashing of macOS whenever a video is played back using QuickTime while an external display is attached and connected in "Mirrored" mode. Currently the only way to prevent the crash from occurring is to make sure that the external display is in "Extended" mode or to use a third party video player. This issue does not occur on macOS Ventura.
Interesting, I’ve never encountered this bug. I will try to reproduce it and report to Apple
@@BrandonButch Thanks Brandon. This issue happens with my external display connected via HDMI to the Apple USB-C Multiport AV Adapter.
How is the performance for the M1 Air? I have mine in Monterey still fearing that newer versions will destroy its amazing performance…
Aside from a few bugs, the performance is excellent.@@josuearroliga
@@josuearroliga Aside from a few bugs, the performance is excellent. How's your battery health?
I'm on an M1 Macbook Pro and ever since I upgraded to 14.3 Apple Music is broken I can't play certain songs and for some reason, some of my playlists never synced from my iPhone properly and don't have all of my songs, and I've had to re-add songs to my library, I've tried rebooting and signing out of apple music and logging back in and nothing changed. I'm afraid to upgrade to 14.4
This update has sped up web browsing in Safari even further and now my iMac M3 hits my highest score yet achieved on browserbench speedometer test. Now gets 658 which is insane!
Hey do you have problems with the video recording etc where it goes a little blurry when you move around? And if so did the update sort it out? thanks 👍
Just bought a brand new iMac M3 and it's doing it. Haven't had this issue with any of my older macs
Nice content, just one thing, please make your windows/text a bit bigger, it’s kind of hard to read on mobile.
I didn't even know macOS had a clock app lmao
after I updated to sonoma 14.3 the battery life on my M1 macbook pro 14 suffered horrendously.... and it never truly sleeps . hope this update fixes the issue
Still waiting for playback speed for Apple TV on Mac. I usually watch videos at 2x speed on my iPad and want to do it on my iMac/Macbook
Still so many bugs left unfixed.
I updated my M3 Pro to Sonoma 14.4 and my camera wont start (in facetime, foto booth etc.._)
3:13 Yeah, that's unfortunate. I think they should have implemented it similar to the Music app on macOS where you can click on the lyric button and it would follow along with the music. In this case the transcript.
yeah. I guess they aren't counting on many users using the feature lol
@@BrandonButch Probably 😅
are these updates just for the M1+ models? Mine (2017) doesnt have all these features and still looks old
2018+
Thanks for a great video.
Sonoma was released too soon and the bugs are slowly being worked out. The worst native app is still “numbers”, which crashes once a week for me on a MacBook Air M2. This bug is a carryover from Ventura and remains so largely because it is sporadic. It is characterised by text suddenly going from right to left Russian style as you type into a cell, the file save ceases to work and of course you can only force a quit and loose your data.
My Word on Mac (2023 15" macbook air, M2) is no longer capable of converting to PDF. Anyone with the same issue? how did you correct it?
FaceTime Reactions aren't disabled by default, iOS 17.4/macOS 14.4 instead includes a new API that gives developers the option to disable Reactions by default. So example, Zoom could disable it by default
That too. However, mine was disabled by default when it was on before updating. Specifically with Zoom and FaceTime
Anyone having issues where it would say “uploading files” on the iCloud folder and never progressing on MacBook?
Did they fix the RAM issue?
Which issue? Never had any ram issues myself
Hi Brandon. You should be aware that I had a major issue when I upgraded to this latest version on my Mac Studio. After the update, I found my keyboard and mouse no longer worked. At first I thought it was the o/s somehow breaking Logitech products but when I looked closer, I found that everything connected to the hub the dongles were connected to which also included my Time Machine backup hard drive, were no longer working. It was completely dead. The update broke the connection and because of this, I could not login at all. Thankfully I did about 5 restarts and it magically came back so it wasn’t a huge deal in the end but thought you and your followers should know about this.
14.4 has lots of bugs according to reports. Sonoma in general is probably the buggiest since High Sierra.
I didn't get the update
voice isolation not working on sonoma 14.4
When you going the talk about AVP updates?
starting with visionOS 2 Beta
@@BrandonButchReally hope they sync up that version number. Everything else is on double digit version numbers.
You should make a calendar we can add to our calendar app that has the dates of the next major releases and betas!
The problem with that is Apple is unpredictable. The release cycle isn't always the same. Good idea though.
@@JTech22 yeah that’s true
Pls let Apple know that this update is giving some users trouble with dictation and that microphones work normally and everything but when using it speech to text and then when being sent to Apple servers there is some kind of issue where it won’t work and does not work as normal (intel based Macs)
“Here we got our new emojis”
Me: “WHEELS!”
macOS Sonoma was a version of 14.5 macOS 14.5 or 14.6 on Apple’s MacBook 💻 Air that was released in the early days!
Best fix for me is the letter-boxing bug on safari when watching videos in the aspect ratio that Brandon uses. It would push the video down and have double black bar at the top. I’d have to always put it in and out of mini player to fix it until adverts play
At least when CZcams is installed as a web app, full screen videos cause the display to freeze and crash to the login screen.
I wish Apple would fix the usb external drive issues that have been buggy for years now.
Don’t hold your breath! They’re like Adobe now, adding silly “features” while ignoring the bugs they introduced a year (or more) ago. And yes, I’ve reported each one, even called Apple tech support, whose only “advice” was a full reset reinstall.
@@imanalius7691This is why the rapid dropping of Intel Macs is unacceptable. They’ll never see those bugs fixed.
I thought they would have to add sideloading to macos as well
Mac OS already have "sideloading". it is called "downloading the installers from the vendors website". It was always like that.
The new updates for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS have broken my iCloud tab syncing using Safari which is a shame so I turned that feature off
It’s not a matter of not updating but my older Mac won’t allow it.
Still there’s something missing. Having the possibility to manage multiple accounts for Apple TV.
right clicking on view-show or hide favorites does nothing but turn favorites on or off on my iMac.
Right click on the favorite itself.
Screen waking up repeatedly while lid is open. Did anyone have this issue? Has it been solved in 14.4? I'm basically forced now to close the lid otherwise my Apple Watch will unlock it and waste battery. During 15 minutes the screen wakes at least 6-7 times, resulting in a battery loss of 5%.
Updates to this macOS version will include updates
Updated version with new Features for macOS Sonoma app for Windows 11 in April 2024. Kick in with new update
3:15 4:57 and ndt macOS
Idk why sonoma is not so free from pixels specially from apple tv
I have a 2017 MacBook Pro 😭
opencore legacy patcher
It seems that Apple has lost its ideas for developing its macOS operating system. They have fallen far behind Microsoft Windows in every update, as Microsoft innovates so rapidly.
It's Sodoma and you know it.
wut
no thanks, my mac is a work machine, not an Emoji fantasyland for kids. Cmon apple, give us a useful build
Lost half of my uad plugins and my cpu. Went to shit... bout to get ride of this mac junk.. aint the first time this happened. SMH. 😢
first
Nobody cares.
noice!
@@Bentheman24 😂
@@BrandonButch no
@@BrandonButch ? It’s true
Sonoma sucks for M1. Random crashes after the initial update. What a letdown
Well huh, does this happen after 14.4? I have an M1 MacBook Air and I’m still on Monterey 😂
@@matth254Staying on old versions is not recommended.
Hopefully in the next 20 yrs they will implement the ability to set-up scrolling and acceleration individually per trackpad and mouse. Im puzzled by this nonsense approach they’ve always had.
Apple like always, with the stupidest and most useless updates, no updates for real uses, like give screen recording the ability to save in mo4, give users the ability to do overlays on the desktop screen, instead of the same stupid wallpaper, why not give the ability to turn the wallpaper into an overlay, all they have to do is modify the layers position of the wallpaper, give more flexibility for recording screen, like green screen or chromakey effects, but no, just more useless updates.
big shtt sonomo. we can even not disable the screensaver.. sht sonoma sht apple engineers
Am I the only who can’t use sidecar 🫠
