macOS 12
When should we expect macOS 11.6? When will Monterey be released, and when will the next Apple Silicon models be announced? Here are some wild guesses.
M1 Macs have an elaborate system of keys and certificates which allow the installation of second operating systems, as well as the primary OS, based on Ownership.
The primary admin account on an M1 Mac is its Owner, responsible for authorising the installation and use of second operating systems. Here’s what can go wrong with Ownership.
Are you testing or going to test Monterey beta? Advice on kernel panics, the M1 missing boot disk problem, updates and escape routes.
First AppleScript, then shell scripts, and in 2005 Automator: now Apple is bringing iOS Shortcuts to macOS 12. Will it make a difference, though?
WWDC this year again featured a session on notarization. Here’s a summary of its status in Big Sur, and details of what’s next.
How useful is the traditional panacea of re-installing macOS in Big Sur? And is it worth maintaining an external recovery disk to deal with problems?
Big Sur updates have far exceeded those of Mojave or Catalina, and are set to total well over 40 GB. Prospects for security updates are no better, with a high carbon footprint.
Every developer should watch the 5 videos about DocC from WWDC. But it’s really a plaintive cry for help. Until Apple squares up and addresses the problem, it can only grow worse.
