Some people are reporting seeing various Mac installation errors when attempting to update their computer to Apple's new macOS Monterey 12.3 software.
Apple's macOS Monterey 12.3 update is ready for public consumption, bringing such improvements to your Mac as the new cross-device Universal Control feature, head tracking for spatial audio and other perks. The update was released on Monday, March 14, 2022, alongside iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4 for the iPhone and iPad.
iCloud Keychain is a handy feature. It allows users to quickly and easily access their usernames and passwords for apps and websites, making logging in across Apple devices relatively painless. But, if there is one pain point, it's with the feature not bothering with usernames sometimes. But Apple's addressing that issue in the next software update for iOS and macOS.
The third beta of macOS Monterey 12.3 brings changes that make it easier to access and configure the various Universal Control settings on your Mac.
As we move towards an expected March release date, Apple moves right along with the beta testing process. Which means we have new beta seeds for developers. And, soon enough, public testers.
Apple is issuing minor software updates to several of its platforms today. The primary goal is to fix some lingering issues across the board. However, it doesn't look like there are any major forward facing features in the mix this time around.
Apple provided a new macOS Monterey 12.3 beta build for public testing this week, and as some early adopters quickly discovered, the newly-bundled Mail app broke the AltServer Mail app plug-in.
Apple has launched a second iOS 15 public beta, as well as released second betas of iOS 15.4, iPadOS 15.4, macOS Monterey 12.3 and tvOS 15.4 to public beta testers.
Earlier this year, after the public launch of macOS Monterey 12.2, some MacBook Air and/or MacBook Pro owners that utilize Bluetooth noticed a bug, rather than an improvement. That bug causes the MacBook that has Bluetooth enabled to drastically drain the battery while the machine is in sleep mode. Which is less than ideal.
Some folks who installed the latest macOS Monterey 12.2 update are reporting an unusual Bluetooth issue that drains a Mac notebook's battery overnight while in sleep mode.
Apple typically kicks things off for an upcoming software update with a developer beta. Soon after that, a public beta arrives to broaden the testing phase. And sure enough, that's what we have today.
