Used to be able to assign a Live Photo as a new Wallpaper showing the static and video image prior to iOS 16. The beta version of iOS 16.0 accepts the Live Photo as a static image only. Not sure if this is a bug in the current prerelease or a permanently dropped feature. Anyone else observed this issue?

I forgot my Admin Password and I am logged into a basic account without admin rights, so I started searching for admin-account-password.bypass-options, and I found a way to reset it by shutting the iMac down, restarting it, and pressing "Command" + "R", until the loading bar appears. Afterwards, there should be an "Utilities" button on the dock, but I can't find it. I was supposed to click "Utilities", then "Terminal", and then type in "reset password", but I can't find the "Utilities" button. I downloaded MacOS Ventura Developer Beta 2, so maybe this method only works with MacOS X and later but not MacOS Ventura so I wanted to ask you guys, if someone could help me out. Thanks for reading this article and I hope you know the answer!

When I try to expand the Xcode 14 download file I get either one of two errors: with Archive Utility I get an error saying that the file can't be expanded due to insufficient space (I have over 100Gb available) and if I use The Unarchiver it says that the files are corrupted. Any thoughts on what I should do?

In the simulator with Xcode 14 beta 3, any request to WeatherKit results in the following error: [WeatherService] Encountered an error when fetching weather data subset; location=<+41.16107900,-104.80545000> +/- 5.00m (speed -1.00 mps / course -1.00) @ 7/6/22, 3:16:51 PM Mountain Daylight Time,  error=Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=0 "(null)" I haven't had a single request succeed. Has anyone else encounter this?

I'm creating a multiplatform app on the Beta Xcode and have just migrated code over to set an image from the photo library. When I run the app on my iPad (with beta OS) it works fine. When running the same code on the iOS simulator I end up with a blank view without any images. There are a lot of errors outputted to the console starting with: 2022-07-12 09:59:46.037994-0700 MyAppName[10647:2080202] [UIFocus] TtGC7SwiftUI14_UIHostingViewVS_7AnyView implements focusItemsInRect: - caching for linear focus movement is limited as long as this view is on screen. objc[10647]: Class _EXRunningExtension is implemented in both myPathway/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/ExtensionFoundation.framework/ExtensionFoundation (0x7ff864a43f90) and myPathway/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/ExtensionFoundation.framework/ExtensionFoundation (0x1231e5d48).

Is it an error on my side or the beta software?

On Xcode 13.0, I can no longer pair with an Apple TV 4K (tvOS 15.0). Until now it has always worked but since the new update to tvOS 15.0 and Xcode 13.0 I can no longer connect. I have gone through the following steps to connect: Open remote app and devices settings on Apple TV 4K (tvOS 15.0). Open Devices and Simulators in Xcode 13.0. Select Apple TV in the list and press "Pair". Code appears on the Apple TV and I can enter it in an Xcode window. After the code input, there is a short loading sign that a connection is being established. After a few seconds, the whole thing stops without an error message and the "Pair" button is visible again. Does anyone have the same problem? I would like to optimize my apps for tvOS 15 and test them on a physical device.

Has anyone else seen in Ventura B3 where you have a URL path as a source and you want to use the filename for that, aka lastPathComponent in a destination URL, so you have something like: let destinationURL = destinationDIrectory.appendingPathExtension(sourceURL.lastPathComponent) and lastPathComponent is a file name but what you get for destinationURL is: destinationDirectory.lastPathComponent instead of destinationDirectory/lastPathComponent or is it just me?

The tvOS and watchOS platforms aren't installed by default using Xcode 14. This poses a problem for continuous integration if Xcode was installed with only the default platforms (iOS and macOS). Is it possible to install additional platforms through the command line?

I understand that shouldAutorotate has been deprecated in IOS16 and forcing orientations using UIDevice have also gone away. But it's not clear to me how we can prevent orientation changes using the new api. I have managed to force orientation changes using requestGeometryUpdate but nothing I do seems to stop it from rotating back again after the forced rotation. I've tried calling setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations on both the current view controller and the navigation controller but supportedInterfaceOrientations never seems to be called. supportedInterfaceOrientations is called on the first load, but it seems to be ignored as regardless of what I put in there the device will rotate to all the options allowed in the info.plist. What trick am I missing?

So I noticed after I installed the Ventura beta on my M1 iMac that my touch ID quit working on my keyboard. I went into the settings, and I deleted the existing fingerprint so that I can redo it however, once I deleted it, I don't see any way to add a new fingerprint back. The entire dialog box that discussed a fingerprint is gone. I've restarted my computer several times, and I have the most current data installed. I'm having to type in my password for everything, including App Store downloads and logging in. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something in the new settings.

Hi, in past several versions of macOS, following deep links into System Preferences were working: FileVault: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?FDE Software update: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.softwareupdate GateKeeper and System Extensions: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?General Focus: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_Focus Full Disk Access: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_AllFiles And many others They do not work in macOS Ventura anymore. Is there a replacement in macOS Ventura available? Could you please add/document new deep links into System Settings app? We use it to guide users through different setup steps that have to be done to fully setup/onboard our macOS software. Thank you for any information, Jakub

After upgrading to 10.13, my 500GB SSD is nearly full. With 10.12 i always had ~200GB free. Looking at AboutThisMac-&gt;Storage-&gt;Manage, i see "System" using up nearly 300GB. However, looking at my SSD in finder, i cannot see any folders that would sum up to this size.Does anyone notice this as well and is there a workaround?radar://32782835

I recently installed the MacOS Sierra beta and have recently noticed that whenever I free up space on my mac, Disk Utility adds the freed space to the purgeable portion rather than the free portion. This has become quite an issue as I now need to partition my drive but disk utility currently shows 146 gb as purgeable and only 36 gb as free. It however claims that 182 gb is available. Is there anyway I can convert this purgeable space to free space?

I installed the beta of iOS 16 on my iPhone 11 and the iPadOS 16 on my 12" pro. Now, when I try to install anything from the App Store, I get nothing. Well... that's not exactly true. When I press the GET button, all I "get" is the spinning circle of death. It never starts the download, asks for a confirmation [like a double tap of the top button]. Just spin, spin, spin. Any thoughts?
