Just installed Monterey beta 3 on my 2019 MBP 16”. I’ve been using FaceTime 3x per week for 15 months now and fully understand how it works. Upon receiving the first FT call following install of Monterey beta 3, my MBP no longer allows me to go into full screen mode. I can enlarge the screen but only to about 90% of full screen size, with borders on all four sides, corresponding to the upper task bar, bottom app bar, and sides approximately the same size. The menu for Full Screen mode is there, but it does nothing. Is this a bug, or a new feature?

I Have used all four versions of the watch and have great familiarity with the exercise features. During the past 8 months I have used the exercise rings daily for an identical walk with my dog. The 8 month daily walks have produced remarkably consistent data. The walk is slightly under 3 miles (+/- 0.1 mi), consumes approximately 300 calories at my size (+/- 8 calories), and rates as 37+/- 2 exercise minutes. This is important because I installed Watch OS 6 and IOS 13 yesterday. I checked everything after the install and made certain my settings were unchanged. Today, I took the same walk. Distance 2.95 miles, Calories 303, Exercise time - 26 minutes. Thus my query. What has changed in the exercise time calculation that results in a 33% reduction in a time consistently recorded for 8 solid months? Anyone else notice this anomaly?

Have an iPad Pro M1 11”. Just installed Beta 1 of ipad OS 15 over the 14.7 beta. My app icons were neatly arranged in rows of 5 icons across. The ipad 15 beta reduces this to 4 across and leaves me with many pages having an odd one or two icons. Is this a restriction of the beta? I can’t figure out how or where to change it.

I have multiple machines running 11.5.1 (Big Sur) enrolled in the Developer Program, as well as two running 12 under Monterey in the Developer Program. Not one of the machines running 11.5.1 has shown the update to 11.5.2 anywhere in the past 7 or 8 days since 11.5.2 was released. Is it possible that the 11.5.1 (from the developer site) is really a slip-streamed 11.5.2 without the version number. Digging into the system information, my 11.5.1 shows as version 20G80. The 11.5.2 full installer is available on the App Store, but I really don't want the downtime of installing a full version if unnecessary.

Less a question and more an observation. Since updating to IOS 14.x and iPadOS 14.x, I find that Bluetooth connections present a significant challenge. I have an iPad Air (3rd Gen), and an iPhone 12. I also have two pair of Airpods (2nd Generation), and two vehicles that support bluetooth (and one of those CarPlay). Not a day goes by that I don’t have difficulty connecting one or the other pair of Airpods to the phone, or the iPad, or the phone to one of the two cars. In each case, I have to turn Bluetooth off on the phone or iPad, and then back on for it to find the device to which it should pair. In the cars, my only recourse is to reboot the phone. The only common thread I can figure is IOS and iPadOS 14 since none of these problems occurred in v13 of either. I’ve watched and read the release notes for each iteration and beta of v14 and it seems that a consistent theme is resolution of Bluetooth problems. Can anyone explain what has changed in v14 that is causing these persistent Bluetooth issues that I’m having and that continue to be addressed in each release and beta of v14?

I've noticed some odd behavior in the iPad OS in the past few days. I have 4 different email accounts. Periodically I get email from a source that has more than one of my addresses. In the past week, I've had two distinct issues I haven't seen before. Issue 1 is that an email (or many) gets downloaded from the server to my iPad. I read it and if it is important take some action and store the email in a holders where I can return to it in the future. Lately, on occasion, it happens that I need to go back to the message and get the notation "this message hasn't been downloaded from the server". And there seems to be no way to force the downloaded again. Strangers till, the message might have been received at more than one server, and when I check it in its file on my iPad, I get the same message. That doesn't sound like an external error, but instead something amiss with the mail.app.Tyevsecond problem is even more bizarre, and it has now happened often enough that I think it, too, is a problem in the mail app. Same basic scenario as above, except that in these cases,the message headers and the message bodies get mixed up. Two examples:. An email with a shipping confirmation from the vendor Crazy shirts has the body of an email from a photo software company Topaz Labs telling me that I have a free update to a piece of their software. Avsecond example:. an email from my former workplace inviting me to donate to a scholarship fund, mixed up with the body of an email from Amazon, telling me that someone item was shipped. When I look at these same emails on my laptop, they are fine with headers and messages correctly attached.There is no predictively to these events are than the fact that it happens several times per day.Anyone else seen anything like this. I haven't updated my phone's OS yet so things seem fine there.

I've installed Catalina, Beta 2 on my 2017 MBP Retina (no T2 chip). After completing the install (base OS was Mojave 10.14.6 (beta), I'm finding that the Finder regularly hangs and requires relaunching. It happens regularly upon startup or after rebooting. Once I've relaunched it, it runs fine for awhile and then I'll start gettng the spinning beachbeall of doom. It doesn't follow any particular pattern, and I've tried booting in safe mode, single user mode, and the same thing happens. Is this a problem for anyone else, or do I have to keep looking for what might be going on, or report it as a bug to Apple?Thanks.

Just installed iPad OS on my iPad Pro. I’m trying to figure out how to enlarge all of the app icons so they fill the screen as they did before. Either I’m missing something obvious or there is no way to do so. Each page of icons only fills half the screen.
Have a Watch Series 4, running Watch OS beta 5.1. Noticed that the activity ring standing hours do not correspond with clock hours as it has always done. Today, for example, I’ve reached my standing goal of 12 hours, by 6 pm. However,according to the activity monitor, my first standing hour occurred between 3 am and 4 am, and my last standing hour occurred between 2 pm and 3 pm. I don’t wear my watch at night, and I didn’t arise until between 6 am and 7 am, and my watch didn’t notify me of ring closure until between 5 pm and 6 pm. It appears that the ring progress bar thinks I’m about 3 hours earlier than I really am. Strangely, the movement and exercise rings seem accurate.Anyone else notice this problem on the Watch 4 or earlier models.

I do backups of my various drives overnight using CCC for directories, and SuperDuper! for entire drives. Since beta 6, I wake up each morning with multiple timer errors attributed to Finder (error -1731). Each error has to be dismissed, and I have to manually run each scheduled event. Again, this problem did not exist in Beta 5. Before I report this as a bug, are others seeing this.mrf

Is it my imagination or did Beta 5 change the behavior of applications opened from Applications. Now, when any application that I don't keep in the dock is opened, it remains in the dock after I close the application. I don't recall this ever occurring before, and suddenly my dock was full of non-regularly used applications. There must be a way to turn this "feature" off. It is most annoying to have to physically remove an app from the dock.mrf

I've been struggling with this since Beta 4 came out. My iPhone 8+ absolutely refuses to update my Series 3 watch past Beta 3. I have removed and reinstalled profiles on the watch and the phone. I've unpaired the watch from the phone and set the watch up as new. No matter what I do, the last two betas (4 and 5) are either not seen by the watch, or not seen by the phone, or both. The updates just stopped after Beta 3. I can't figure out what is left to do. Is there a way to force the update without the phone, just to see if that is where the problem lies. And yes, I have the latest IOS 12 beta on the phone too, both devices are connected to the same wi-fi network and the bluetooth works on both. I'm flummoxed and out of ideas. I do not have this problem on any other devices running the Beta.Thoughts, suggestions, workarounds?

I have been successfully installing each beta of Watch OS 5 on my Series 3 watch. The 4th beta appeared two days ago, but despite downloading the profile for it, installing it on my iphone and my Series 3 watch, the phone doesn't see the update. I've deleted the profile twice, reinstalled it, and yet the watch is still at Beta 3 (5.0(16R5313d)), while the Beta 4 is a later build number. Have others run into this problem? Is there a solution except to wait?mrf

Since the IOS 12 first beta, I’m experiencing an annoying problem whenever I am filling out a form that is displayed through Safari (on an iPad Pro 10.5, an iPhone 8+, and an iphone8. If the screen extends past (underneath) the keyboard at the screen’s bottom, there is no way to sticky scroll up to see the hidden text. This, the only way to finish long forms is to toggle back and forth between hiding the keyboard to reveal text, buttons, and fillin fields below, and restoring the keyboard to type blindly. There does not seem to be any way to scroll up and lock the scroll in the upward position to uncover text and simultaneously use the keyboard. This is most annoying. Don’t know if this is a bug, or there is some hidden setting that has to be changed. If so, the default behavior should be changed, because no rational person would want the status quo.

IOS 12 - iPad pro 10.5 and iPhone 8 plus. I have encountered more than a few apps that require the user to enter information at the bottom of a screen. Until IOS 12, this wasn’t an issue. Under 12, the keyboard often obscures the area where responses are required, requiring me to hide the keyboard temporarily until I know what input is required. Then I unhide the keyboard and type in the required information without being able to see what I’m typing. This occurs with multiple different keyboards and most often with apps that use Safari for display. Have others experienced this issue? Is it a bug in IOS or Safari, the apps, or is there some new dynamic resizing setting I haven’t located?
