MacOS 15.1 B2 update not triggering within a VM.
I have MacOS 15.1 B1 running in a UTM Virtual Machine, and 15.1 B2 running as its host OS. 14" M3 MBP. The VM does not automatically offer a software update to 15.1 Beta 2. I've already installed the Device Support for MacOS 15 Beta, but I don't know what else I need to activate. Do I have to run a shell script or app, etc? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

FaceID failing in iOS 17.5 B2 on iPhone 12 mini
FaceID fails with "Problem with TrueDepth camera" in iOS 17.5 B2 on an iPhone 12 mini. I've erased the phone and restored from iCloud backup, and though it began to work again properly, FaceID soon failed again - maybe after an hour or two. I don't believe this is a TrueDepth camera hardware problem. I've erased and restored a second time and I expect it to fail again. I'd like to downgrade to 17.4.1 but the erase/restore procedure installs the beta, even when I deselect the Developer Beta option. Anyone else seeing this? TIA

Time Machine backup from 13.5B2 client to 13.4 host creates new sparse bundle
System A = iMac running OS 13.4. (Time Machine host -- with 2 share pointed drives - call them A1 & A2) System B = iMac running OS 13.4 (Alternates backups to A1 and A2) System C = MacBook running OS 13.5B2 (Alternates backups A1 and A2) I had to rebuild System A and reconfigure the sharepoints. My problem is that now C is no longer binding with its respective "C.sparsebundle" files. Rather, it is creating new ones named "C_1.sparsebundle". What, if anything, am I doing incorrectly?

Monterey B1 on VMWare Fusion fails
I tried upgrading a Big Sur VM (VMWare Fusion) to MacOS Monterey B1. The install went black, hung up and died, leaving me with a bricked VM. Luckily, this was an experimental VM that I could restore from backup. The host is a Late 2014 27" Retina 5K iMac. I just discovered that Monterey won't support my hardware, and I assume it won't support its client VM's either. I wish that the installer surveyed the hardware and blocked the installation to save me the headache and heartache.

Can't update to WatchOS 10.0.2 or to iOS 17.0.2
Stuck on WatchOS 10.0 (21R356). Watch App isn't detecting or downloading 10.0.2 (21R371) Running iOS 17.0.1 on a 12-mini paired with a Series 6 watch. I can't update to iOS 17.0.2 either. I was only able to update to 17.0.1 via Apple Configurator.

Can't get the "Validate App" button to activate for building an Archive
The Validate App button remains grayed out on XCode 14.3 when I build an Archive. This is a brick for me. I can't submit my app to the App Store. Ideas, please? MacOS 13.3, iOS 16.4, watchOS 9.4. If it makes a difference, I'm running an OCLP version of Ventura on my 2014 Retina 5K mac... TIA.

Apple mail cosmetic issue
El Capitan Apple Mail occasionally leaves around a GUI artifact that contains the last read email's sender's email address. I see this often. It pollutes any open window in its path.Has anyone else seen this? The workaround is to quit and reopen Apple Mail.
