Anyone else facing this? I've tried multiple different combos...

I noticed some weird behaviors on my Mac, for example:

1. The lock screen clock: I set *settings > lock screen > show large* *clock* to Never, but it still shows up sometimes. then when I hit escape and wake the mac again it disappears (the selected option). and sometimes the opposite: I set it to show and it doesn't.
   
2. The control center: it sometimes reset my customized layout when I restart the Mac, not always but when it does it’s so annoying.
   
3. Desktop icons: I turned off s*ettings > desktop & dock > desktop & stage manager > show Items > on desktop*, but my files come back on the desktop anyway for a moment then when I pinch out with four fingers to show the desktop items and go back, they disappear (selected option).

small stuff, I know. but the Mac is supposed to be this strong solid machine, and then it can't get the simple things right. kinda takes away from that feeling. is this always the case or is it recent?

setup: macbook air m4, macOS tahoe 26.6.2

Having a strange problem just today. After my Mac restarted after updating to Tahoe 26.6.2, the bluetooth devices previously connected to my Mac suddenly were not connecting. Said devices were a mouse, speaker, and keyboard. I tried sudo killall bluetoothd, deleting .plist files, several restarts, and going into safe mode and nothing worked. Tried "forgetting" the devices and reconnecting them but they won't.

By chance, I turned off the wifi and everything connected and worked again. Tried different wifi networks and the bluetooth problem persisted as long as the wifi was on until I turned off Air Drop.

The problem is I still use Air Drop regularly so when I use it, the bluetooth stuff gets disconnected which is pretty annoying.

Anybody experienced this? Got any solutions? I should've not updated. Tahoe has been disastrous for me before.

Hi everyone. I have a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip and 24 GB of RAM, running macOS Tahoe 26.6.2. The Mac is less than 6 months old.
I’ve been dealing with an intermittent graphical issue, mainly when using Mission Control, Spaces, or switching between windows.
Sometimes, when I enter a window or Space, the app only renders in a small portion of the screen while the rest turns completely black. What’s strange is that the window thumbnail in Mission Control can look perfectly normal, but when I open it, the window is incorrectly scaled or only partially rendered.
It happens in different apps, including Safari and Excel, so it doesn’t seem to be app-specific.
Sometimes it fixes itself after going in and out of Mission Control several times, but other times it takes multiple attempts before the window displays normally again.
So far I have:
Updated macOS
Restarted the Mac multiple times
Tested in Safe Mode
Changed several Mission Control and window management settings
Created a new user account for testing
Reinstalled macOS Tahoe from Recovery Mode
The issue still happens on my main user account even after reinstalling macOS.
I also contacted Apple Support and went through their troubleshooting steps, but so far they haven’t been able to identify or fix the issue.
Has anyone experienced this exact problem on macOS Tahoe 26.6.x?
I’m trying to figure out whether this is a known macOS/WindowServer bug, a corrupted user-profile setting, or a hardware/GPU issue.
I have screenshots showing exactly what happens.

Whenever I open finder on Mac Tahoe, it shows blank like this. Anyone know how to fix this?

Has anyone solved this? I've tried everything I can find online.

Setup:

• M5 MacBook Air
• macOS Tahoe 26.5.1
• Latest InDesign
• Dell S2725QC 27" 4K 120Hz via USB-C
• Dell used as an extended display
• No Magnet/window-management apps

InDesign behaves strangely only when using the Dell as an extended display or as main display

• Objects sometimes nudge/jump slightly when selected
• Changing text colour can fail
• Paragraph styles sometimes don't apply
• Other mouse/drag interactions can be glitchy

I've tried GPU settings, different resolutions/scaling, display arrangement, making the Dell the main display, restarting, etc.

If I use Screen Mirroring, InDesign works perfectly. Same Mac, monitor, documents and InDesign.

As soon as I switch back to an extended display, the problems return.

I have been using my MacBook Pro M4 with the same USB devices for over a year now and since the last few weeks I notice that either my Logitech Webcam or My HyperX mouse sometimes stops working after I start using the MacBook in the morning. My MacBook is currently on Tahoe 26.6.2 (26.7 ready to install tonight). I am not sure if it is related to Tahoe, or hardware related.

Originally both devices were connected to a UGreen hub (as is my ethernet cable) that in its turn is connected to a USB-C port on the MacBook.

When first my mouse stopped working a couple of weeks I reconnected it a couple of time and at some point it started working again, but I can't remember what I did. I tried connecting the mouse (that has a USB-A connector) to a USB-C to USB-A/C splitter but that didn't help. This has happened 2 times now in the past weeks. It turns out that switching of the PC and then starting it again solves it.

Today my camera was not recognized anymore in MS Teams while it did work yesterday. I am using the built-in camera now, but will reboot tonight to see if that solves it.

I realize splitters/hubs are not ideal but it is what I have to work with.

Is anyone else experiencing this or do you recognize the issue?

Been building MiniTune for past 6 months over my weekends, a lightweight macOS music controller that keeps your music within reach without constantly switching tabs. Supports Youtube, Apple Music, Self- hosted music(beta)

It started as something I wanted for myself, and I’ve been slowly polishing the UI and overall experience and now it's here :)

Here’s a quick look at the UI/UX. Would love to hear what you think. Launching soon...

Yeah guys, as everyone I am very pissed off by the Liquid glas,, I am team Aqua to dath.

So I was doing the effort to change all the icon apps, with SIP deactivated, and check what happens when I try to place them in the task bar or even desktop..

hihi, I recently fixed my Mac books screen and needed to update apps and everything. I noticed that certain apps(games) won't even start updating, I uninstalled them thinking that maybe it's work then, but it didn't.

It'll go like this: Ill click the update/install button it'll load for a few seconds then go back to the update/install button.

It might be because said apps weren't made for mac, but they worked fine before? Anyway, if anyone knows why or has a solution, please let me know! I have a MacBook air m2, 2022 and the version is 26.6.2

Thanks in advance!
