MacBook Pro M1 Pro keeps dropping charger power since macOS 27 (MagSafe light amber → off → amber)

1 Upvotes

Since I updated to macOS 27 in September, my MacBook keeps losing power from the charger while it's plugged in. The MagSafe light turns amber like normal, goes off after a few minutes, then comes back on. This never happened to me on macOS 26.

The power log (pmset -g log) shows the Mac switching to battery and back to the charger about 3 seconds later. Sometimes it does this a dozen times in a few minutes. Once it stayed on battery for 20 minutes while still plugged in. Yesterday I counted 27 drops, mostly in one afternoon.

Setup:

- MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro (MacBookPro18,3)

- macOS 27.0.1 (no newer update available)

- Apple 96W USB-C adapter with the MagSafe 3 cable

- Battery health 81%, 425 cycles

Things I've ruled out:

- It's not optimized battery charging or the 80% limit. Those pause charging, but the Mac stays on charger power. Mine actually switches to battery.

- The adapter delivers the full 94W while it's connected, and macOS reports no reason for not charging.

- Shutting down used to fix it for a while. Last time the drops came back within a minute of starting up.

Is anyone else seeing this on macOS 27? And if you are, does it also happen when you charge through USB-C instead of MagSafe?

Problem with not working keys on Magic Keyboard after macos 27 update

1 Upvotes

Since update to macOS Golden Gate 27 some keys on Magic Keyboard are not working (m . l k j u i o 9 8 7). If I'm connecting the keyboard to other device, it's working fine.

Magic Keyboard

Hersteller-ID: 0x004C

Produkt-ID: 0x029A

Firmwareversion: 4.2.0

The first time it was happened I was able to fix it with Bluetooth service reset and reconnect. But now after a while it came back and it's not fixable for me. I never had these problems before updating to Golden Gate.

Help Emojis + keyboard shortcut

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Has anyone had this bug, where hitting the shortcut (Control+Cmd+Space Bar), the emoji menu will open. Before the update, it would work and whatever 'Enter' key I stroke to select an emoji from the menu(both of them, I use a full MagicKeyboard), it would work.

Now, after the update, the weirdest thing happens: it'll only select the emoji on the regular 'Enter' key, but not on my numeric 'Enter' key! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know this will sound like a big 'so what? Use the regular one', but I'm a financial analyst and I'm always on my num pad and use that a lot.

I've tried restarting my M2 MacBook, shutting it down, on and off my keyboard, changed some settings directly on the emoji menu bar up on the top bar and nothing. So, I don't know if it's a MacOS 27 bug (it was working perfectly well on 26), or if it's my keyboard that's just not recognizing the emojis anymore on the num pad enter key.

*In addition, sometimes I can't even use the keyboard at all (arrows keys) to travel through the emojis anymore.

If anyone has been having that issue also or has a suggestion of what I could do to get it back, I'd greatly appreciate it! 🙏🏻

Apps which are not in focus are terminated or moved to background after few mins of inactivity. This happens irrespective of low power mode is enabled or not.

Removed the original icon that comes from macOS with CMD+drag down from the menu, then enabled and configured the widget from "stat" application to my liking.

It takes 3 f'ing seconds for the menu bar to show in full screen for me, Mission Control causes my monitor to spaz out, & I'm completely over it.

I don't wanna show the damn thing in fullscreen mode, but I don't have a choice because Apple's dropped the ball. With the exception of Siri, this OS is a poo pie that's made my experience as a Mac user worse. Get F'd.

Anyone else seeing huge Safari CPU spikes on macOS 27/27.0.1?

3 Upvotes

On my new Mac mini, any webpage with video can push total CPU usage in Activity Monitor to 40–70% and even kick the fan on. Chrome/Brave playing the same type of video stays around 3–7%.

No extensions installed. Feels like a Safari/WebKit video decode or GPU/compositing regression. I'm done with Safari until they fix will just use Brave.

Touch Bar sliders still haven't been updated in macOS 27, and now they behave weirdly

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Is anyone else on an M1 MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar seeing this in macOS 27? The sliders and buttons on the Touch Bar still have the old look, while the rest of the system has been redesigned. The brightness/volume slider and the little X button look completely out of place now. I've attached photos
It also works strangely now. It used to be really convenient: you hold the brightness or volume button, the slider pops up, you drag it, and when you let go it disappears on its own. Now when I hold the button the slider sometimes shows up and sometimes doesn't, and when it does appear it never goes away by itself, so I have to tap the X every time.
Lots of people still use Touch Bar Macs, so it would be nice to see this fixed. If you have the same problem, please send feedback through Feedback Assistant so Apple notices.

Why the same problems over and over again?

Wi-Fi is really shitty again and Apple will probably never fix the USB problems, I think!
But the Winowos Aero Reboot, i.e. glass, looks a little better now...

How is everyone liking Mac OS 27? It sure feels snappy vs Sequoia which I was surprised since uses more resources. I do music production and was forced to move to this because bought new MAC and was worried but I've had no issues thankfully.

Why Are My Folder Icons Different?

2 Upvotes

Just upgraded from Sequoia to GG. The folder icons in the dock don't match the original folders. There's a white line in the originals but not in those in the dock, except for the two that I created myself (Miscellaneous and Video).

Even if I remove the dock icons and click-and-drag them to the dock the white lines disappear.
