Cool features for universal control 👍

So disappointing no new Mac Pros were announced, I held back from buying during 6.6 to see if got new ones, hahaha…

that seamlessness between the ipad, macbook and iMac is insane!!

seems like they dropped intel hd4000 models if look at the supported update list

Since Apple did not announce it in WWDC. Probably will announce it in Oct.
4 more months to go.

Hopefully... My early 2014 MacBook Air which is still running great will miss out on Monterey

On the plus side, I finally have an excuse to upgrade, hahaha...

macOS Monterey 12.0.1 is out.

check from system update, but no oh. Do you get the update?

Sorry, I think, my bad cos I’m in beta channel. Last was Monterey 12.0 beta 10 then suddenly today is Monterey 12.0.1 but no beta word in it. Maybe it’s also beta version. Build is 21A558.

Update: A few sites are reporting this as 12.0.1 RC. Universal control is enabled and working. Tested with iPad 6th gen on iOS 15.0.2.

Update 22/10: New build 21A559 came out today.

Always got new problem. Since 10.12 beta 10 and also 12.0.1 RC, both 21A558 and 21A559:

1. secondary monitor rotation and position is lost after a reboot.
2. Handoff, Universal Clipboard and Continuity sometimes not working from iPhone (15.0.2) to Mac. From Mac to iPhone, it's fine.

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/10/maco...-now-available/

many new features are not available intel chip macs anymore. intel chip macs will be ditched by apple in terms of support soon.

Seems like Mac mini 2018 gets Airplay support too although it wasn't listed in the supported list on footnote #6

I believed only missing out spatial audio right?

no that one is available.

below then are the features not available.

Live Text in photos, whereby users can interact with text within images as if they were any other text
Improved city maps for San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London
The high-detail globe view for Apple Maps
The Portrait mode video effect
Natural text-to-speech in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish
Unlimited/continuous keyboard dictation

new wallpapers. cool.

one of the biggest feature is now can airplay from iphone to mac but damn only newest devices supported.

my mac mini 2018 not supported. what the fish...

Compatible Mac models
First of all, if you want to use AirPlay to Mac, you’ll need to have a compatible Mac. Not every Mac that can run macOS Monterey supports the new feature, so check the list below to see if your Mac can be used as an AirPlay server:

2018 MacBook Pro and later
2018 MacBook Air and later
2019 iMac and later
2017 iMac Pro
2019 Mac Pro
2020 Mac mini

cannot be. I have Mac mini 2018. airplay to Mac does not work.

2018 mac mini also don’t get airplay? so only the latest ones does?

Yes Mac mini does not get this but surprisingly 2018 Intel based MBP or later supports it.

2018 MacBook Pro and later
2018 MacBook Air and later
2019 iMac and later
2017 iMac Pro
2019 Mac Pro
2020 Mac mini

Even my 2017 MBP does not support it. 🤣

However, I just upgraded my 2017 MBP from high hiera to this and 2018 Mac mini from Catalina to this.

I would say it is more responsive than the previous macOS。

and I discovered way to improve my mac mini 2018’s performance now. I used to find that my 2018 Mac mini is damn hot. Now I managed to use fan control app to increase the fan speed. It was always running around 1xxx rpm which it does not help in cooking the mac. Now I adjusted to max 4400 rpm. The fan noise is still quite low even at full blast. and my Mac mini remains so cool that eve the performance has improved quite significantly.

strange even 2017 mbp support but no love for mac mini 2018

do you turn on your mac mini 24/7?

technically any Mac with T2 chip support airplay receiver on Monterey

MBP 2017 also does not support. must be 2018 and above.

yes, my mac mini is on 24x7.

serious? then i must try. haha. thanks.

it really works. cool man.

now I can cast video to my dell monitor that is linked to my Mac mini 2018 from my iPhone. nice. last time, I still need to use Chromecast to do so, or even Apple TV. now without these hardware I can also cast videos. damn nice.

Yea, the only annoying thing is the all blacked out screens for multi-monitor users

ic. haha. so far so good the Monterey to me.

Hi.. anyone manage to install Monterey on Macbook Pro mid 2015 using samsung ssd?..
bcoz couldnt find ori apple ssd that i swap..
Error msg..

Monterey on MBP 16" 2019 really gives it a breath of new life. Big Sur was horrible, slow and laggy.

Not sure if it is just me, but my M1 Macbook Pro seems:

1. to be having lots of Airdrop issue (unable to see other device), and when I reset the Bluetooth it just won't turn on again (until I restart)

2. occasionally the sound on Safari goes haywire (e.g. the music that I hear off the browser from YouTube/Epidemic Sound etc. will go into super-deep demon voice) until I restart the computer

Anyone?

Did anyone get 12.1 update this morning?

Have been trying to update my MBA 2020 since yesterday but the update is not showing up. Lots of people are experiencing this and it is not specific to any one model. My MBP 14" M1 Pro had no problems. The update showed up early yesterday morning on its own. But not so for the MBA.

I downloaded the full macOS Monterey 12gb from the apple store and installed this morning.

Now I m on 12.1, decided not to wait for the system update to come up.

Tried that route too. But the installation got stuck at "52 minutes left" for hours. So I gave up finally.

Didn’t get this issue on my M1 mbp…have you tried a fresh reset?

I have no idea why too, it occurs like 2 to 3 days a week, enough to make me go subscribe the largest iCloud

I've tried resetting the bluetooth module as some angmoh forum suggested, still didn't work thou.

This happened with my old 13" M1 MBP and my iPhone 11 too, so now that it happened again on my 16" M1 Max MBP with my iphone, i dont know if there's anything to do with my iphone

Separately, my 13" MBP was "migrated" from my 13" MBA which consists of all of the old files.
However, my new 16" MBP was installed from a fresh start, so it's safe to assume the bluetooth/settings whatever isn't affected by any old files.

I also don't know what to do, thought of visiting Machines to ask but then this thing is on and off (totally unpredictable )

Those unable to get 12.1

1.) Open System Preferences > Software Update. Confirm that no update is available, and leave the window open.
2.) Open Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.
3.) Go to View > All Processes
4.) Search for 'com.apple.MobileSoftwareUpdate.UpdateBrainService' . Select it and click Force Quit.
5.) The 12.1 Update should appear in System Preferences. Click Update Now.
6.) The update may not download - force quit the com.apple.MobileSoftwareUpdate.UpdateBrainService again using Activity Monitor to start the download.

U think older macbook 2007 can update ? Seeing your post ... chances are slim to none

Hey the Airplay casting is great. Can just play music from my bed now.

Anyone got Mac monterey 12.2 on system update?

What major fix did they do this round? I only saw posts mentioning about Safari fix.

Noticed the update available, but not much details, bugs and security. 2gb ++

A PSA. The latest developer beta finally introduces Universal Control and it is glorious! Great for those with more than one Apple laptop/desktop/iPad.

Hey guys is there any app that allows us to mute a certain application rather than all the audio like in windows?

anybody using outlook for Mac on monterey? still buggy?

trying to get a feel of the stability of this OS before pulling the trigger on a new M1
