This seems to be a new one and much welcome. When you go to setup mirroring from the control center, it lets you choose whether to mirror an app a desktop or the entire screen. It’s a welcome change for those video players on the internet that do not support airplay directly as well for other stuff like presentations.

Edit: 18.2 b1

Okay so I’m on RC 2 for 15.1 and I’m NOT in the USA, yet I have Apple Intelligence on? Is it because it’s considered a public beta? Cause I have my language and region set to USA but I haven’t fiddled with any of the settings on my Apple Account or anything in the App Store. Does anyone know why? (not complaining just curious)

I use Sidecar all the time, so I was a bit disappointed to find iPhone Mirroring won't work at the same time.

Then, one day, it did work! I thought they'd made in possible with the latest 15.1 beta, but the next day I tried it and got the old "you can't mirror whilst using Sidecar" message. Drat.

Well today, I tried it again and it's working! I am currently using my M1 MacBook Pro, with Sidecar to my iPad mini (6th gen) and mirroring my iPhone 14 Pro, whilst it's AirPlaying music to my laptop. It's like magic.

Anyone else with this experience?

Been playing with it, and it works really well (thanks to being integrated with ChatGPT), but none of the requests passed via Siri appear in my chatGPT account summary, which is a bit annoying. You do have a 'copy' icon in the Siri reply there, so you can copy it, but it would be much better to keep everything in one place like Google Gemini.

Do we think this is an Apple thing, and they want to keep Siri separate from chatGPT even though it's using the same email address (ie my AppleID email)? Siri doesn't have an app like Gemini at the moment where you can go and see previous requests and so on.

Just wondered what you guys might think about how Apple might play it?

This is an edge case, but I used the F5 VPN for work and it appears to not function at all after installing 15.2. It connects without error, and appears to function when looking at the VPN itself, but I’m unable to open any website or remote into any server that requires the VPN.

I updated to 15.2 DB1 and now my music cloud library is not syncing.

Hello everyone (my first Reddit woohoo). Is anyone else facing the problem of too long indexing after updating to macOS 15.2 beta? I can't wait to use these new features of AI, but in Settings it says, that Apple Intelligence is still loading (though, 12 hours have passed, and the volume of AI in the system remains the same, 5.98 GB). I think the problem is in too long indexing, progress of which you can see by hitting the spotlight search and searching nearly everything (it lasts 12 hours too and hasn't finished either).

Anyone's thoughts on that? Has anyone else has faced this problem? When it finished, was the AI working properly? Welcome to convo!

My Mac is 2020 M1 MBP 16/512GB

Yet unfinished indexing at Spotlight

Yet unfinished AI downloading

When using type to Siri the window stays open but will close once I hit enter.

Using voice triggers I see the orange dot for the mic light up then go away immediately.

Any insights?

Just updates last night to Beta 15.2 and safari is now getting stuck when switching tabs and going back and forwards. Does anyone have the same issue?

As the title says, everything I've tried, gives me this error, at the top of the Image Playground window. Has anyone found any prompts that work? Is there a specific way to type them in? Anyone able to get Image Playground to work?

Is it present on the 15.1 RC settings?

is this some kind of mandela effect??

I can’t seem to find the playground app. Yes I looked in the launchpad. Yes I looked in applications in finder. Yes my MacBook Pro M3 is on 15.2 beta. Anyone else with this problem?

Hello, I'm on beta .2 and I'm wondering, how do I use image playground and Genmoji? Apple intelegence also works well. I have looked for the app, but I don't see it. Is it an app or a built-in feature?

Can’t seem to find the organizational features. Anyone have any insight?

I was wondering if anyone’s got a fix. I’ve just updated to 15.2 and now none of my apps specifically. Safari ,music and App Store won’t work on any network settings. I don’t have a firewall on. I had to install Chrome as that works, but everything else is broken.

Safari just loads and crashes. I’ve seen this issue on other threads, but I can’t find a way to fix it.

I’d really appreciate it if anyone has a clue on how to fix this as my MacBook is basically not usable

MacBook Pro m2 16 inch 32GB

I’ve reset network settings, run first aid and the problem persists on safe mode too.

For the past couple of releases in 15.1.x I've lost haptic feedback in my trackpad (on press, no response). Any ideas on how to get it back or has anyone else faced similar problems and maybe has a solution?

Original Text: Ofc Siri is stupid as always. I wonder how the rest of the "AI" stuff is. Let's see what Writing Tools does to this text. I have a feeling it's going to be lackluster and left halfbaked like almost all of Apple's hyped features in the last few years. Never actually useful when you REALLY need it, and probably slowing down the rest of your system/workflow. Oh well. Maybe a future reincarnation of Steve Jobs will overthrow Apple like he did IBM.

lol wow every option gives "Writing Tools aren't designed to work with this type of content." 👍 👏

but then produces the results:

Rewrite:

Of course, Siri is as useless as ever. I wonder how the rest of the “AI” features are. Let’s see what Writing Tools does to this text. I have a strong feeling it’ll be lackluster and half-baked, just like most of Apple’s overhyped features in the past few years. They’re never actually useful when you really need them, and they probably slow down the rest of your system and workflow. Oh well. Maybe a future incarnation of Steve Jobs will overthrow Apple like he did IBM.

Make Friendly:

Siri, as always, is not very helpful. I’m curious to see how Writing Tools performs on this text. I have a feeling it won’t be very impressive, like many of Apple’s overhyped features in recent years. They’re often not very useful when you really need them, and they can slow down your system and workflow. Well, maybe a future version of Steve Jobs will rise up and overthrow Apple like he did IBM.

Professional:

Naturally, Siri’s performance is unsurprising. It is intriguing to consider the capabilities of other “AI” technologies. I intend to evaluate the output of Writing Tools on this text. I anticipate that its results will be inadequate and incomplete, akin to the majority of Apple’s highly publicized features in recent years. These features have proven to be impractical when truly necessary and may even contribute to system slowness. Nevertheless, it remains possible that a future iteration of Steve Jobs will lead Apple to a similar fate as IBM.

Concise:

Siri is always stupid. I wonder how other AI tools fare. Let’s see what Writing Tools does to this text. I expect it to be lackluster and halfbaked, like most of Apple’s hyped features in recent years. They’re never useful when you really need them and may slow down your system. Maybe a future Steve Jobs will overthrow Apple like he did IBM.

Summarize:

Siri is criticized as lacking usefulness, and Apple’s AI features are deemed underwhelming.

Create Key Points:

• User’s Opinion on Siri: The user thinks Siri is stupid and wonders about the quality of other Apple AI features.

• User’s Expectation on Writing Tools: The user believes Writing Tools will be lackluster and slow down the system.

• User’s Hope for Apple: The user hopes a future leader like Steve Jobs will revive Apple.

MI just installed the RC build on my M1 iMac and M2 Max Macbook Pro and started having an issue with iPhone Mirroring. When mirroring to a device, I can no longer control any audio apps (podcasts, music etc.) using my keyboard to start and stop the audio with my spacebar nor scrub back or forward in the audio clip using the left/right arrows. Worked fine before installing the RC build. Anybody else having this issue or find a workaround?

I'm currently installed 15.2 on my Mac, and I was wondering if there is image playground on there

when i try to create apple id from appstore it refuse, does it work with u ?

I REALLY want to use the new Siri and Apple Intelligence on my MacBook Pro M3 Max, but saw online that there's a big risk of me losing all my data?? Please can someone advise.. My whole laptop is synced with icloud as well.. Thanks!

I switched back to the public release, but I'm tired of dealing with so many features not working with VPN active. Has the beta sorted this out yet?

Hello all! I updated my MacBook Pro M1 Max this morning from 15.0 to 15.1 RC. During the day, I'm using my Mac for work. Today, I was working from home and this was pretty easy to spot: on any video conferencing application, the FaceTime HD camera quality decreased drastically.

It was working well until this update, now everything looks pretty 480p YouTube in 2008. Does anyone else having this problem?

Trying to update to the latest RC. But I’m stuck on 24B5077a and says no updates available.

Tried a few things (with restarts):

• turning off Find My
• logging in and out of Apple Account
• disabling and reenabling beta/developer updates

Any other suggestions from those that have experienced not getting latest builds?

Hi,

My external monitors are no longer being detected on my Macbook Pro M2 Ultra after I updated to 15.1 Beta (24B5077a). The macbook is not receiving power from the monitors anymore, and is not outputting anything to them. It is simply not detecting them at all. I've tried everything that supposedly solves this issue online but to no avail.

I am wondering if anybody faced similar issues after the update, and if they found a workaround until Apple fixes the issue in the next update.

Thanks a lot
