I bought my M2 MacBook Air in December 2022, and now, in October 2024, it's showing that I have no storage left. I have the 256GB, 8GB RAM model. My daily activities are fairly simple—primarily using Safari and Chrome for reading papers and light graphic design in Affinity Designer. However, in just a few months, my Mac has accumulated 170GB of data under "Other Users and Shared," "macOS," and "System." 170GB out of 245GB is absurd—can anyone help me clear this up?

Is anyone else having trouble posting to the forums? I can't get past form validation.

I was online waiting for an online rep from life lock and saw OTP code redacted. Whoever’s hacked my phone does this with all verifications for emails, passwords etc. I don’t know what to to. I don’t know how to deal with this stuff. Someone please help me. My phones been taken over by these people.

I've started building an app that uses NFC to communicate towards a device. The initial communication is being triggered as intended, the last step of authentication is sent the connection seems to drop with the message: -[_NFCardSession validateReceivedAPDU:]:236 Invalid ISO7816 APDU detected, (null) The same response has been validated on an Android device and the process works fine there, but .readerDeselected is triggered instead of .received with cardAPDU. Any way to see which part of the validation that fails? Best regards

we’ve identified that our PDF rendering pipeline leverages the native CGPDFDocument APIs to convert PDF pages into images. However, in the latest release of iOS 18, the provided document fails to render even at the CGPDFDocument level. Our analysis suggests that the issue may stem from the embedded custom fonts not being correctly processed in this version of the iOS platform. This appears to be consistent with several other reports and discussions around font rendering problems introduced in iOS 18, particularly involving subset fonts. We’ve attached a collection of relevant community threads and references, including: Apple Developer Discussion: Subset Font Rendering Issue in iOS 18 Given that our implementation is tightly coupled with Apple’s native PDF rendering APIs, this issue presents a blocking limitation for us. With your permission, we would like to use this document as a sample case to formally report the issue through the appropriate Apple Developer forums and feedback channels.

I paid for my developer account on the 13th of June 2024 (1 week ago). My ID was approved. However, I still don't have access to the account. When I go to check the status of it, it is asking me to pay again. I then tried to email the team, however only received useless, timewasting responses, such as "Please go to developer.apple.com/enroll to enroll for an apple dev account", which I already told them prompts me to pay again and verify my ID again. I then tried to call them, and they said they had to re-verify my ID and would call me back in 10 mins, but I never received a call back. I also couldn't call them again because it wouldn't let me request another call from them. I then emailed them, but still haven't received a response. The next day I tried to request another call from them, during their opening hours at Thursday 4pm AEST, (they are open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm AEST see https://developer.apple.com/support/worldwide-telephone-hours/) however it still says that "Phone support is currently unavailable". I tried to email them but now I am getting no responses at all. I tried to contact the apple support through the iMessage chat, however I was only put on call with a lady who was helpful, but couldn't even do anything as she was only generic support. She couldn't even schedule me a call or transfer me to the developer team, even though it was within their working and calling/support hours. I have tried to refund my developer account, but apparently that purchase is "illegible for a refund". This is the treatment I get from apple for paying $100 USD. An entire week of being left on blank. I don't know what to do. I paid 100 bucks for an account which I can't even use, and the support hasn't helped me for an entire week. My emails being left on blank, and I can't even call them. If anyone from apple or anyone that could help me sees this, please contact me ASAP at makrypodisc@ hotmail.com or reply to this thread. Thank you.

Unable to search contacts , app crashes Call screen goes compl transparent

I have two thunderbolt LG 4K monitors. After upgrading to beta 3 the startup hangs half way through the progress bar. If I unplug one monitor the system starts up normally. Once up I can plug the second monitor in and all works as expected.

So, I'm new to Swift, but I'm trying to get my app idea off the ground and am trying to find a way to create the main module of the app - two users see in real time, where the other one touches their screen. So, each of them see a red dot light up on their screen wherever the other one touched it. Ideally dot should change in diameter based on the pressure of the touch.

Hello! I really need someone's help! At the end of August, I accepted the changes to the financial agreement. For some reason, this led to the re-processing of the banking information in my account in the AppStoreConnect. And now, for two and a half months, I have been seeing a message in the "Business" section of the AppStoreConnect: "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then." And now I can't change this information or add another bank account. During all this time, Apple did not attempt to make payments to this bank account and my money just hung up without being able to withdraw it. I tried to contact financial support several times, but all my requests went unanswered. Here is the ID of the last request, if it somehow speeds up the search for a solution: Case-ID: 10193100 Do you have any ideas what the problem might be and how I can fix this situation? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I just want to offer you image modifications that seem useful to get out of a version that has not evolved since the iPhone 3GS/4. The addition of options without redesign after a few years creates a "kind of tidy mess". I arrive from android having not had an iPhone since the 3GS, I am shocked to find the same interface as at the time. (I'm not criticizing, it's an observation). And I'm surprised by the lack of some essential options such as the right back, the missing numeric line in the keyboard, or the missing Touch ID (I don't want to record my face). So since I have been offering improvements to android and these applications, as well as play store applications, for years, and I love doing it, I naturally started thinking about Apple improvements. I let you take part in these different ideas (in French, Google translation can translate the images if you wish). Thank you all for your constructive opinions. Best to you. https://goopics.net/a/4r0fqeqw

My iPad 7th generation updated to iOS 18.3 I’m getting the loading 5 bar symbol and No sound at all . Tried hard resetting multiple time and nothing works

Some users of my app complain that it stops responding to touch after a while. The screen is still updating, and the app seems to be working normally otherwise. It just doesn't respond to any touches anymore. It is not a problem with the touchscreen itself, because the user is able to swipe up to get to the home screen, and then interact with other apps as normal. When re-opening my app, it is still unresponsive to touch. The only way to solve it, is to restart the app. Does anybody have a similar experience, and knows what could cause it? The app is based on UIKit, and still written in Objective-C, if it matters. The iOS version involved does not seem to matter, it happened with a couple of them.

iOS 18 System Bug Causes URL Scheme Failure A bug in iOS 18 causes URL Schemes to become invalid through the following steps, resulting in failure to open apps via URL Scheme. Reproduction Steps: Long-press the app icon Select "Require Face ID" Choose "Hide and Require Face ID" to hide the app Go to the App Library and locate the hidden app in the "Hidden" folder Uninstall the hidden app reinstalling the hidden app After reinstalling the app, all configured URL Schemes will become invalid, causing failure when attempting to open the app via URL Scheme. The issue appears to be that after uninstalling a hidden app and reinstalling it, the system fails to restore the app's URL Scheme functionality.

In the public release of iOS 18.4.1 and iPadOS 18.4.1, external input support for keyboards and mice is critically degraded. This issue affects both Apple-branded and third-party HID-compliant devices, over both wired USB-C and Bluetooth. Tested Hardware: • iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) • iPad Pro (USB-C, latest gen), last gen iPad as well Affected Devices: • Apple Magic Mouse and Keys (wired USB-C/Bluetooth) • Redragon K580RGBPRO (Bluetooth/wired USB-C) • Razer Naga V2 Pro (Bluetooth/USB-C) Symptoms: • Severe keystroke delay and dropped input • Modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option) fail intermittently • Input degrades further with multiple HID devices connected • Mouse input via Bluetooth exhibits pointer lag and jitter • Occurs in all apps: Notes, Safari, Mail, text fields, password entries, etc. • Identical results using Apple USB-C cables Reproducibility: 100%. Clean boots, minimal background activity, and isolated environments (including Airplane Mode) do not resolve the issue. Identical behavior across both iPhone and iPad. Expected Behavior: All HID-compliant external input devices — particularly Apple-branded ones — should provide low-latency, reliable, and consistent input over both USB-C and Bluetooth, especially in a production iOS/iPadOS release. Actual Behavior: External keyboards and mice exhibit: • Lag • Dropped characters • Failed modifiers • Degraded mouse tracking Even with the latest hardware and clean configurations. Severity: Critical. This is a platform-level failure affecting I/O at the user interaction layer. Input reliability is non-negotiable — especially on $2000+ flagship devices using Apple’s own peripherals. Closing Note (for Apple engineering & peer devs): This is not a beta regression — it’s a public release flaw that undermines iOS and iPadOS usability for power users, professionals, and accessibility communities alike. That Apple Magic Keyboard, Redragon, and Razer gear all fail equally and consistently should be a wake-up call. Apple: this needs to be escalated. Now. External input — one of the most basic subsystems in any OS — is broken on your highest-end devices.

One of my clients keeps having Zoom crash when teaching classes. They do have 1 external monitor attached. Using Macbook Pro 15-inch 2017. Running Ventura 13.7.4. Bug in client of libplatform: os_unfair_lock is corrupt, or owner thread exited without unlocking Abort Cause 8192 Any idea what is happening? Do I need to submit all of the crash report? Thank you for your assistance.
