I’ve been having this issue after every reboot. Having to connect both with a cable to use them again.

Watch unlock no longer working for me. Have to enter password every time I want to unlock Mac. Once in, it works fine when Mac wants system password or 1password access. Also works fine on my non-Monterey Mac. Bit frustrating.

My Bluetooth headset audio desyncs while watching video. There is a hickup in the video and then it's off by half a second. I have to restart the video or turn off /on Bluetooth to fix it.

I had a similar problem and I found logging out of your Apple ID on your Mac and back in solved it.

Turns out my watch had a beta profile on it for WatchOS7 and that had prevented it from updating to WatchOS8. Once I removed that and updated my Watch, it started unlocking again.

That's normal for intel.

This wasn't the case on Big Sur.

Magic mouse 2 looses scrolling after Mac is returning from sleep mode. Turning it off and on fixes it. Happened a couple of times now. Very annoying.

i started a thread about this, & reported (twice!) on feedback assistant. hopefully, a fix with first beta/update. meanwhile, turning the mouse off, then back on, fixes it temporarily.

MacOS 12.0.1
MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro in clam shell mode connected to LG 5K monitor.

Happened to me twice already today - coming out of sleep, Magic Trackpad 2 - gestures don't work. Two fingered swipe to go back and front on safari is ok, but rest of mission gestures, etc don't work. Requires reboot.

Variable refresh rate causes flickering on unsupported displays especially on YouTube videos and for some reason the setting to force 60hz doesn't seem to stick at all which is extremely annoying.

Anyone else got the issue I have? In Finder when I'm grouping by "Kind" it only ever splits everything into two groups: Folders and Other. On Mojave there were much more categories, in particular "Images" and "Videos"

iCloud drive doesn't seem to be able to download. This is what I get when trying to download a file locally.

I've turned iCloud Drive off and on and it didn't help.

Anyone else's Photos app seem to be stuck processing their library? Mine has been stuck at the same section of the progress bar for a couple days now.

This happened to me yesterday and I just restarted my MacBook and it worked after that.

This is a wikiPost that will be updated regularly.

Current Bugs:

• No sound in Plex https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/frontrunning-the-macos-issues-plex-has-no-sound.2299627
• Most VPN apps are broken Seems to be partially resolved in Beta 2 (Wireguard works, NordVPN does not)
• Safari's color matching top not perfect yet
• Can't use dynamic pictures from Big Sur as desktop
• Universal Control apparently not included in Beta 1,2, 3 and 4
• Some UI elements (like the Dock or Safari Tab Bar) might look blurred Seems to be resolved in Beta 2
• Network mounts are displayed on the desktop with a hard-drive icon
• handwritten messages do not show up in Message
• Mouse/Trackpad input might be laggy
• Safari Tab Group Sync between iOS 15 beta 1 and Monterey don't seem to work
• Private Relay in System Settings automatically reenabled after some time
• Hide IP Address in Safari automatically reenabled after some time
• 3D Globe in Maps unavailable on Intel macs (is available on Big Sur and lower)
• Quick Look no longer plays videos. Rebooting corrected this.
• "Reset the Bluetooth module" and other Debug features (like resetting paired Apple Devices) not available in the Bluetooth menu using Option+Shift anymore
• Lumix G9 Burst Raw files cannot be opened by OS inbuilt apps. ( finder, photos, preview ). Third party apps using apple RAW engine seem to work.
• Magic Mouse 2 looses scrolling after Mac returns from sleep mode. Mouse off/on fixes it.

Most of my smart mailboxes disappeared with this upgrade, and it looks as if some mail also disappeared with them. Very disappointing.

It looks fixed on my 2019 27" iMac since yesterday. All I did was a SMC reset (shutdown, unplug power cord, leave it unplugged for a couple of minutes, put power cord back, power-on). Someone on the Apple discussion forums suggested this.

EDIT: just installed the 12.1 beta, will see first if that fixes it...

Spatial Audio is broken for Apple Music. Tried testing with my Air Pod Pro's and see the error "Spatial Audio - Not Available". Seems a lot of other people are having the same issue.

macOS 12.0.1
MacBook Pro M1 13"

Magic Mouse 2, lost scrolling, went to sys pref/mouse/set up bluetooth mouse, clicked on that and got the spinning wheel, forever. closed out, restarted and everything was ok. yesterday I shut the lid, gone for an hour or so, came back, opened lid, back up and running and then discovered the 2 finger left/right swipe wasn't working. thought I would see if "set up bluetooth" would work this time, nope. restarted and everything ok. went to "set up bluetooth" and clicked, spinning and spinning, and I shut the mouse off, then back on, and all of a sudden it found the mouse and listed it's name, and all is working ok, for now. or is it?
