macOS Monterey Beta

[EdwinG]

Hello,

The macOS Monterey public betas are here

 

[Arkidelik]

Will be downloading this to my MBP shortly.

 

[Just_Me_D]

I have the beta installed on my M1 Mac Mini and thus far, only one app crashes when I try to open it —- 1Password. Other than that, it’s been quite stable.

 

[EdwinG]

You know what to do

 

[EdwinG]

It seems that in the latest beta Spotlight search is unable to search for locally installed applications. Anyone else experience this behaviour?

 

[EdwinG]

New defect I found. WindowServer might crash when switching between spaces (including full screen apps).

I have had it happen to me about 10 times now.

 

[EdwinG]

Oh beta, oh beta 4, who is the least buggy of them all?

 

[C6TX6]

Been trying to update to dev beta 4 for the last few days, it won't download.

 

[EdwinG]

Hey everyone. Beta 5 is here

Been trying to update to dev beta 4 for the last few days, it won't download.

Sorry, I just saw your message. Did you finally got it to install? If not, have a go at beta 5.

 

[Just_Me_D]

I’ve finally found the time to install the latest beta of macOS Monterey. It’s actually installing while watching the Cowboys vs Cardinals NFL Pre-Season football game…..

 

[C6TX6]

Beta 5 installed but it killed Outlook 2019! Known issue.

 

[EdwinG]

I guess we can now call Tuesdays "Beta Day"?

 

[EdwinG]

This is getting closer and closer to release

 

[EdwinG]

Euh… I'm running out of witty things to say

Well.. With this beta, I can't get external monitors to work, at all…

Edit 2021-09-30 03:21 UTC: At least iPadOS' SideCar feature still works, so it's a minor mitigation. Still a sub-par experience in my opinion. I have not tested AirPlay.

 

[EdwinG]

So, we received the 9th beta, also called "External monitors now work" edition.

 

[EdwinG]

Ohhhh, there is a beta 10
Might very well be the last one before the release.

 

[EdwinG]

So, macOS Monterey 12.0.1 RC is here. Looks like there will not be a macOS 12.0.

I will post the release notes next week, when it is released

 

[EdwinG]

Guess what's out… yes, another pre-version of macOS Monterey 12.0.1.
So, macOS Monterey 12.0.1 RC2
