Error downloading Apple Intelligence on 15.2 Official Release Hiya, struggling to download apple intelligence (again!) Had it all working before but the download gets stuck at 100% on the official release (same with image playground) and going through csrutil, and deleting GenerativeModels doesnt seem to work right now (Not sure if I've targeted the wrong directory, but copy pasted what worked before.) Any way I can completely wipe my Mac of the generative models files and start again, in hopes it will maybe help being able to finally use ChatGPT integration, image playground etc?

Annoying issue with MS Word on MacOS I don't know if this is just an MS Office issue or an MS Office on MacOS issue. Sometimes my MS Word documents revert to Size 12 Times New Roman and I have to resett my fonts. It seems to happen randomly. It's not a big problem but it can be pretty annoying. Has anyone seen a pattern to this happenning or knows if I am somehow the cause of it? 5 0 replies

15.2 PDF Blurring Bug With 15.2 update, I've identified error impacting particular PDFs, featuring a distinctive inversion of black/white and a general blurring downward/leftward (see image below). Confirmed on 2 devices (M1 and M3), the issue did not exist with 15.1 and immediately appears (identically) with 15.2. This impacts Preview, Finder, and Safari though PDFs uneffected in Acrobat, Firefox, Chrome. If a page is deleted in Finder, the PDF will decompress (leading, e.g., a 10.5mb PDF to balloon to 1.7gb). PDFs impacted appear to have common origin as Internet Archive documents accessed through... 1 0 replies
Is there a reference for valid SHASUM hashes of macOS system binaries (e.g., apsd)? Some of the Mac OS binaries on my system are engaging in surveillance behavior, like remote access, screen capture, data containerizing and exfiltration, etc. They check out in codesign which is off. Is there an official or community-maintained reference where I can find the correct SHASUM hashes for macOS system binaries like `apsd`? Or, does Apple provide a way to verify these files independently of `codesign`? Any links would be greatly appreciated! 2 0 replies
Changing a directory's name gave the message: 'The document "Blah blah blah.txt” could not be saved. You don’t have permission.' Why did I get this error? I have a .txt file in a directory. Whilst the .txt file was open, I changed the directory's name. When I tried to save the .txt file, TextEdit / MacOS said I didn't have permission. If I go back into the directory and double-click on the .txt file, I can save with no problems. Finder confirms that I have read & write permission for both the directory and the .txt file. How can I fix this? (A while ago, I could change directory names no problem but these days... 4 0 replies
(15.1.1, M1 Air) Is Firefox just really laggy for anyone else? For some reason the tabs are just incredibly unresponsive since I finally upgraded from 14. Especially worse on YouTube, for whatever reason. Safari doesn't seem as bad but I like having my extensions and such on Firefox. Edit: it's often so bad that if I close the tab the video still goes on for another 20 seconds. 4 0 replies

Decent external display for MacBook Air m1 Hello, i am searching for an external display to use with my MacBook Air M1. Currently I have a 24'' 1080p monitor, but I find the text blurry and fuzzy (with a windows laptop I didn't noticed this problem). I am therefore searching for an alternative display, without spending too much. I would like to remain with the 24 inch size, I looked around and for macOS a 24'' 4k display is perfect, but I can't find any of these monitor here, they seem rare for some reason. A... 5 0 replies
Hi guys could anyone help me here ? Hi everyone, I’m looking for some guidance and opinions as I’m about to make an important decision. I’ll soon be leaving my country to study in Europe, and I’m planning to get a MacBook Pro as my main computer. I’ve never owned a Mac before, but I’m already in the Apple ecosystem (I have an iPad Pro and iPhone 16), so I’m excited to make the switch. However, I’m a bit confused about which MacBook Pro configuration would be the best fit for me. Here’s what I’ll be using... 3 0 replies
Good equalizer app that works with airpods automatic switching? Hey there! I've been reading around and testing a few different things to get better EQ for my music, mainly..

Back up Apple Silicon MBP to Intel MBP macOS Time Machine I recently upgraded to Apple Silicon for personal use, gotta say I'm loving it. Up until now, I've been doing Time Machine backups to an external drive. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to use the old MBP as a Time Machine, hopefully networked, but wired over a TB3/4/5 cable works too. Both laptops are 4TB, but the new one is Apple Silicon, the old one is Intel. 3 0 replies
