    Watch won’t boot past the Apple logo

    Hey! So I was updating my phone to the latest beta and then suddenly my watch just wouldn’t pair with my phone anymore. It just stops at that intricate logo design and that’s it. Is anyone facing the same issue? My watch is updated to watchOS 4, and my phone to the iOS 13 beta. Is this in...

    iPad The Files app is still a disaster

    I wrote this on the main news thread, but I’m so late it’s buried and I did enough extensive testing that I figured it was worth a post here. The Files app is still a disaster for external drives. It has a LONG way to go to be ready in time for launch. I would not be surprised at all if...

    Just wondering if any Canadian beta testers can comment on if ecg functionality is working in the latest Watch OS 6 Betas? I run the betas on my phone and iPad, but don't on my watch - however I certainly would if I could get the ecg functionality (which was my main reason for upgrading the...

    Computer is going haywire

    I have the public beta installed since release day and it has been fine, for the most part. I haven't rebooted since installation (not even that long). I rebooted for various reasons. First, it takes almost a minute to boot. Now my Finder doesn't work - anytime I go to click anything inside, it...

    All Devices iOS 13 Music app, Recently Added still there?

    Greetings! For those with the iOS beta, is that dumb Recently Added section in the Library section of the Music app still there in its large prominent unchangeable glory? I’ve been hoping seemingly forever it could be removed or at least customized to something else. Am I going to be...

    Catalina WWDC beta on MBA 2018 - install hangs/freezes

    Hey there, brave Catalina beta testers! I thought I would give Catalina a spin on a 2018 Macbook Air we use for testing stuff: Everything seems to be fine, but then just as the machine is nearly done installing (progress bar around 3/4 complete) it freezes - clue here is that the animation on...

    Virtualise Catalina

    Hello, I'm a registered developer with access to the Catalina beta. I'd really like to test SwiftUI etc, but can't afford to jeopardise my main prod Mac. Is it possible to directly download the beta and install in a VM running on top of macOS Mojave?

    Who else will install iOS 13 Developer Beta 1 the minute it is released?

    Who else will install iOS 13 Developer Beta 1 the minute it is released? 1. #MeToo! 2. Will wait to hear from others. 3. Probably later in the beta cycle. 4. Only in September with the full release of GM. 5. Only when I buy a new iDevice that comes loaded with iOS 13.

    General Battery Life on Beta Software

    Hello, I am wondering about how beta software affects battery life on Apple devices, especially iOS. For those who are running betas, do you find that your battery life is very similar to running a public build of iOS? I’m curious to hear what the public has to say about this topic.

    iOS 12.1 beta insanity

    My iPhone XS has installed the 12.1 beta with no profiles installed. What?!? I put the iOS 12 GM build on my iPhone X. It was the only version of iOS 12 I’ve put on it. After a while I think it started prompting me for 12.1. I wasn’t interested in that so I removed the beta profile and turned...

    watchOS 5 Web Browser Not Working

    Hello, I have a 42mm Apple Watch Series 2 with watchOS 5.0 (GM) installed. I remember in the betas there was a mini Safari web browser that could load simple web pages. There was also an option on the Watch itself in Settings > General called "Website Data" which allowed you to clear all...

    So I put the GM of 12 on my iPhone 7 and I just got my iPhone XS. But as soon as I got the XS it told me it wanted to install the 12.1 beta. I went poking around and I don’t have the beta profile installed... so I can’t remove it to stop the beta versions from being added. Anyone know a...
