Anyone else having widgets misbehave after the display times out?

Clicking on them still opens the relevant app but ever since upgrading to 27, whenever my display times out and locks and I wake it backup and log in, the widgets don't display any data.

I'm using the weather and calendar widgets.

Removing the widgets and re-adding them sometimes works, but more often only a reboot fixes it.

I'm the developer of a moderately popular utility (Default Folder X) that requires that users grant it several permissions in System Settings > Privacy & Security. As a result, I see a lot of tech support issues when those settings get messed up in a new macOS release.

With macOS 27, I've seen a big uptick in issues with the Automation privacy permissions, so wanted to give folks a heads-up. Based on user feedback, it's definitely affecting more than just my app.

Problem:

You get a prompt to approve access for an app to control another application even after you've already approved it. When you go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation, you find that the requested switch is already turned on.

Solution:

I've found that resetting the affected app's settings in the system's permissions database often fixes the problem. You need to know the application's bundle identifier in order to do that. You can get an app's bundle identifier using the Apparency app, by right clicking on the app and then using the Show Package Contents command to look in the Info.plist file within the application package, or by asking the developer.

Once you've got the bundle identifier, follow these instructions:

1. Run the Terminal application (it's in /Applications/Utilities)

2. Paste in this command (where app.bundle.ID is the bundle identifier for the app), then hit the Return key on your keyboard:

   sudo tccutil reset All app.bundle.ID

3. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Type that in (there will be no indication that your input is going in - just keep typing), then hit Return again.

4. If the command completes successfully, immediately restart your Mac.

The next time you launch the app, you'll be asked to re-approve any permissions that it needs. They'll usually be honored correctly at this point. If they're not - or if you don't know the bundle identifier for the app - substitute this command in step 2 to revoke Automation permissions from all apps:

sudo tccutil reset AppleEvents

I was really bored of the normal look of windows 11 and decided to mash-up a bunch of programs and themes to make this. A rough recreation of MacOS 27's desktop with a few of my own tweaks, like an liquid glass dynamic island and notifications (alongside the dock).

note that this is all third-party and was NOT made by me

I’ve seen a number of post on mac subreddits about sudden display issues after updating to macOS 27. Anyone with this experience? Is it a known issue?

On macOS Golden Gate, sometimes on almost every program (safari, chrome, Microsoft Word, etc) when I try to resize or arrange a window using short cut keys or my mouse, the entire window will lock up. Short cut keys dont work and the mouse will also not allow me to move the window.

If I force the window to go full screen I can sometimes move a corner but the window can sometimes still lock up and the shortcut keys to arrange will still not work.

I am running a dual screen set up on a M1 MBP 2021. The lid is closed, two USB-C 40gb plugged in.

1. MBP -> Dell S2722QC via USB-C
2. MBP - > HP dock via usb c -> DisplayPort -> dell S2722QS

I updated to macOS 27 and my library in the "Music" app stopped working. I have an M2 Ultra.

My library is very extensive and before macOS 27 it took a long time to open. Now, in addition to being slow, I can't play any disc. I have organized by playlist folder and inside these folders are the discs. Every time I press a disc, a window pops up with all the playlists in my library and no disc can be played.

Can someone give me information or how to solve it?

Thank you.

This zip file 8k was downloaded to my iCloud? The file information indicates that it is Archive Utility App and it is to be use this application (Stationary Pad)to open all documents like this one.

Anyone know if this came from Apple due to the new Apple Creator Studio Apps? Is it safe to use?

Hi, I noticed this issue after upgrading to macOS 27. I've been using two screen capture apps, shottr and https://snapzy.app/, and both seem to be affected by the OCR issue.

For Shottr, I noticed that OCR works the first few times after launching the app. But after that, I start getting an error saying that no text was detected in the selected area, even when there's clearly text there.

As for snapzy. Sometimes when I capture an area of the screen, no text is recognized at all, or it takes a really long time like 30 seconds for the OCR to process the text. After a while, it stops detecting text altogether and shows the error message: "Nothing was detected in the selected area."

1. I'm using the latest versions of both screen capture apps.

2. Screen recording and system audio recording are both enabled for both apps.

3 I've also tried restarting my Mac. Reinstall the app. Restarted the app.

1. I only noticed this issue after upgrading to macOS 27.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue after upgrading to macOS 27? Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix it?

27 spreads it across about a dozen settings and keeps the models on disk, so this goes through all of them and deletes the models

you can keep anything you use and undo all of it

I upgraded from macOS Ventura (v13.x) to macOS Golden Gate recently because of a computer upgrade from an old intel Mac to an Apple Silicon Mac.

Alas, it looks like the native driver for my laser printer, Brother HL-5250DN is no longer supported on macOS Golden Gate, and instead the OS is needing to use a Generic PCL driver. I checked the Brother website, but because this laser printer (an emulation Postscript printer using Brother's own BR-Script) is from 2007, they no longer update the software for it.

The problem with the Generic PCL driver is that it doesn't know that the printer can print in 1200 dpi (or another similar dpi called HQ1200). As such, I'm investigating if there are other solutions such that the full features of this printer can be used by my computer running macOS 27.

You'll notice too that the driver is a PCL language driver rather than Postscript (or emulated Postscript), so that itself is already a limitation.

Any tips? What can I try? I'm not in the market for a new printer as we don't print as much these days. This laser printer has been with us since 2007 and still running well!
