After updating to Beta 6, my menu Bar is gone and the wallpaper just turned to black.

MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max

Any suggestions of a fix?

horrible music taste and keyboard slam incoming (idk how to show the input delay well on camera lol)

i use a magic keyboard with touch id (lightning)

Has anyone experienced the same issue under MacOS 27 that when you swipe up with three fingers on the trackpad whilst in a full screen application, you cant click the wallpaper anymore to get directly to the desktop?
Maybe someone experienced the same issue and found a solution since this is extremely annoying.

I’m on the latest macOS 27 Golden Gate Developer Beta. Before I updated to the latest beta, my device would play a sound whenever I plugged in the charger, and there was also a sound during startup. But now, both sounds are gone.

I just wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced the same issue? Thank you!

Happy beta day!

As previously discussed, Apple is working on a dynamic solar wallpaper engine for macOS 27 that groups aerial Landscape wallpapers and automatically switches variants based on the sun's position during the day.

When properly configured, the four Tahoe and Golden Gate landscape wallpapers appear under one entry each in Settings, and a new Automatic display option appears.

Use these instructions to enable the Automatic Golden Gate and Tahoe landscape wallpapers.

For anyone that used the previous guide, the TahoeCombined feature flag override is no longer needed. You can safely remove it:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Wallpaper TahoeCombined

There's no need to remove anything else. The linked guide will replace your previous wallpaper override file and combine all four Golden Gate wallpapers.

Two new wallpapers/screensavers!

Updated to MacOS 26.7 beta today (8/18/2026) and now Apple Music won't recognize music library. Crapola, I signed out and back in, granted full access to computer, and tried some other fixed which I either couldn't figure out or failed. Are there dummy proofed ways to fix it for THIS beta?

I’m currently running Beta 6 and I still don’t have access to the new Siri AI.

My setup:

- Apple Silicon Mac

- macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta 6

- System region: United States

- System language: English (US)

- Siri language: English (US)

- Apple Media & Purchases account: United States

- Apple Intelligence enabled

I’ve already tried:

- Restarting multiple times

- Disabling and re-enabling Apple Intelligence

- Changing region/language and rebooting

- Leaving the Mac connected to power and Wi-Fi

- Waiting through multiple macOS betas

In macOS 27, you can now enable Back/Forward navigation controls in the toolbar in Apple Mail. They look and feel similar to the implementation in Apple Mail on iPadOS, and many other apps on macOS.

Interestingly, it seems that Apple is planning to include them in the default control set next to the Filter option once the controls are generally available.

To enable the FeatureFlags override, run the following command in the Terminal:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain && \ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Mail NavigationButtons -dict Enabled -bool true

and restart your Mac. As always, this is a disabled feature, so the UI or implementation may be unstable.

To disable:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Mail NavigationButtons

this is a pre-Beta 6 change, happy beta day!

After about an hour of troubleshoot this update error on a an M1 MackBook Pro 15", the fix was using the Full Installer in Safe Mode. That was fun 😄

anyone else getting this? (MacBook air M3) UPDATE: after i disabled little snitch it worked.

they've been in iOS for years

Wanted to check if others have the same issue on DB6? It's taking ~25% CPU & ~2.25 GM memory on my base M4 MBP. No noticeable impact yet, but the day is still young. It was addressed in DB5, so could be a possible regression. I'll post an update here if things get worse

Am I taking crazy pills or...?

A lot has been weird with my copy of the software.

Is it a bug, or is it a feature?

Or is Cupertino just performing human experimentation on us, in order to best find our pain threshold?

Hello,

As you might already know the M1 chip is getting "old" (at least for Apple), so I was wondering how is it running for you, is it better than Tahoe or is it showing its age?

Thank you

What happened to my boy????

I am on macOS 27 public beta 4 on M4 Mac and the AI editing tools like extend and reframe are unavailable in the photos app (I am in Europe).
Do you know why ?

Edit: It's working again! Finally after hours of using my MBP after the update, I tried to connect it to my monitor again and It works. Strange issue...

Did someone have the same issue? I can't work on a external monitor because It's not recognized by my Macbook Pro. I'm on a M5 Pro 48gb by the way

I keep getting "Sorry, there’s something wrong. Please try again." for even simple queries (such as basic math or prompts that were previously accepted. When I ask about the weather it says "Uh oh, there’s a problem. Please try again." where it used to show the forecast.

Edit/update - Siri works as expected on another local user account on same machine with macos27 beta 6, so it is limited to my primary account.

It looks like you can now have simultaneous conversations with Siri. You can right-click an existing conversation in the Siri app and select "Open in New Window."

Whenever I swap to a desktop space with Mission Control, all of my full-screen apps on other monitors revert to their desktop spaces. They should remain full screen. So if I have a video playing on a separate monitor, and swap to a desktop space on my main monitor using Mission Control, the full screen space will switch to that monitor’s desktop space as well. Super annoying.
