Recently I've noticed that certain cursor actions cause the finger icon to appear with a gray box around it. It appears when I hover over other icons (for example, the menu items at the top of this website; Microsoft Teams options but not MS Word, etc.). Is this new? Is there a way to get rid of the box?

Understand other technologies or app doing mirroring will have 2 screens active at the same time. But for Apple iPhone Mirroring is showing only 1 screen at a time and with other protection of same Apple ID, Bluetooth and Wifi for proximity checks. Hence, it is really considered a iPhone Mirroring? https://support.apple.com/en-sg/120421

Using iPhone 16 Pro Max. iOS 26.3-Public Beta. App using: MyScreen26 I have only been able to use 1 live wallpaper (black and white tyrannosaurus rex) about 2 weeks ago. I wanted to change it today, and have been unable to get any of the live wallpapers to work, even the same one I used the last couple of weeks. I find the live wallpaper I want, download it. I click on the upper left hand corner to put into 'Loop' mode. I have 'Low Power Mode' and 'Reduce Motion' turned off. I then click on the arrow on the lower left to open the menu to use the image as a locked screen wallpaper. The screen then shows 'add to album', 'airplay', 'export unmodified original' and 'add to new quick note'. There is no selection for add to wallpaper. Not sure what I'm doing wrong....any suggestions? Thanks!

iPhone 13 mini running iOS 26.2 I went to mirror a stream to a previously used Roku device. The Roku popped right up on the Screen Mirror list, but would not respond. Investigation showed it had lost its network connection - so what showed on the Screen Mirror list was still in cache, not from a current request - and sure enough, after repairing the Roku's LAN connection, it worked fine. That raised these questions: Does the iOS device (iPhone) cache a Screen Mirror list for each network? How does the iOS device build its list of Screen Mirror servers on a local network? I presume it broadcasts a request to the LAN, the first time it is invoked on a new LAN, asking "Does anyone provide this service?" - Is that correct? [Is that broadcast a Bonjour function?] If not, how does it acquire its list of Screen Mirror servers? To avoid the problem of false positives in the Screen Mirror list, how can I clear that cache (#1) and issue a new request (#2) for current Screen Mirror servers? How can iOS avoid showing servers that no longer exist on the network? Is there any limit to the number of networks cached by iOS, or the number of servers cached per network? More generally, is there a good resource to read how iOS manages this issue?

So I've been bugging Apple (and anyone who will listen) for years, about the hassles that come with having one ID for iCloud+ (primary) and one ID for purchases (secondary). I forget why the split, but there was a reason, that's long since gone. Since discovering last year that finally, Apple have provided a way to transfer purchases from secondary to primary, I have lost so... much... time... trying to make this work. Following checklists many times... upgrading, downgrading, removing profiles... deregistering from TestFlight etc etc. After escalating within Apple support, the "solution" came back as "It's because you're a developer - you can't." Now, I've been around the block in 'puters enough times to know that, that "solution" is - even if correct, the "cause". A solution, it ain't. But in any case, surely Apple wouldn't do that to "us", right? Everyone else affected by the two-account hassles is now cured... but for those of us who live on our Macs and iPhones making software for Apple and its communities, it's "screw you guys". I'll try and climb off my high horse now... but man, frustrated is not even close, not helped by another 3 hours on the phone today, getting cut off twice and having to repeat myself again and again. I've even suggested de-registering as a dev, transferring assets etc... but one person even told me (albeit as if he was clutching at straws) that once a dev, that's it - no way back, and some options like transfer are gone forever! Has anyone here - as a developer - managed to transfer their purchases from one ID to another? Does anyone know any more about this? Can anyone put me out of my misery - or offer some calming advice before I totally lose my sh...share of sanity.

Hi all, I just submitted my application to join the Developer Program. I went through the form, and got to the payment screen and filled out. I submitted and have received an "order acknowledgement" email, but I note that payment hasn't been taken, nor do I have any other emails regarding it. I understand my application can take a while to progress and it's still early days, but I'm concerned that it's stuck in limbo as payment hasn't been taken. With that and the notice on my account page that still reads: "Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process." When I navigate to the payment screen again, I can see that there is no CVV field which my bank requires to accept payments. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and how they resolved or, even, if I have done something wrong during the application phase. Thanks!

Excited to be here programming with Swift Programming Language skills. I have already learned as part of my skillset: commands, functions and for loops. I will contribute as much as time allows on this forum as well as ask questions if I get stuck with programming concepts.

I've paid - and have the confirmation of subscription email. But when I try to enroll both on my iphone and macbook air - I get errors. on the iphone said could not complete enrollment. on the macbook it said "not available in your area" I am in australia and it should work. Does anyone know how to fix the enrollment bugs?

We made a purchase to join the Apple Developer Program, but we have been waiting for 5 days and have not received any response such as an approval or rejection. Are you experiencing the same issue as well?

On iOS 26.01 & 26.2, the system keyboard shows uneven horizontal padding: Leftmost key column touches the screen edge Right side has visible padding This behavior is reproducible: In existing apps In a brand-new demo app In both UIKit and SwiftUI Xcode: 26.0.1 & 26.2 iOS: 26.0.1 & 26.2 Simulator Devices tested: iPhone 15 / iPhone 15 Pro Keyboard types: .numberPad, .decimalPad Frameworks: UIKit, SwiftUI

I just looked at the "release notes" for macOS 26.3 beta, and it said there were no notes. Imagine if you were getting your car checked, and the bill had an extra $1000 tacked on, with a line item that said "---". As a developer, this is bizarre. As a shareholder, this is dismaying.

Hey everyone, I took over a mac os app project file and the Assets folder is looking strange. It doesn't have the regular interface where you see the list of assets and the section of adding the app icon size variants and so on. It's just a document of raw data referencing the assets. It's not recognizing the folder as a normal assets folder. Any idea how I can fix it?

Hello everyone, I am looking for advice or help from anyone who has experienced a similar situation. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization under the name Mindzone Technologies on Monday, December 15, 2025. Since then, the enrollment status has remained in “processing” with no updates. After waiting several weeks, I contacted Apple Developer Support twice but have not received any response. First email was sent on Monday, January 19, 2026 (GMT+4) Second email was sent on Friday, January 23, 2026 (GMT+4) Category: Membership and Account, Program Enrollment At this point, it has been over 40 days since enrollment and more than 3 business days since the last support contact, despite Apple stating typical response times are much shorter. There has been no request for additional documents, no phone call for identity verification, and no explanation provided. This delay is blocking our ability to publish apps and proceed with business commitments. Has anyone else faced an enrollment delay of this length recently Is there a specific escalation path or action that actually helped resolve this Should I expect a phone verification call or is there something I should proactively request Any guidance from Apple staff or developers who managed to resolve a similar case would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Dear Apple Developer team, dear Apple Developer community, I’m posting this publicly because I honestly don’t know how else to get a response. Timeline: December 3rd: I applied for the Apple Developer Program and received the confirmation email: “Your program enrollment has been received.” After that: complete silence for weeks – no status updates, no emails, nothing. End of December: Only after I opened a support ticket myself did I receive a response asking me to upload additional documents. January 12th: I uploaded all requested documents in full. Since then: silence again. Last Monday, I sent a follow-up email → no reply. Today (January 26th), I opened a new ticket, referencing the existing case number. Honestly, I have to ask: Where is the professionalism in this process? For comparison: The Google Play Developer account verification (including identity and company checks) took around 24 hours. Apple is one of the most valuable technology companies in the world. Why does a basic developer enrollment take over two months, without transparent communication or even a simple status update? At this point, I would really appreciate: a clear status update, or at least a realistic timeline for when this process will be completed Right now, this experience feels neither professional nor developer-friendly. Thank you for reading, and I sincerely hope for a timely response.

Hello, I'm having a serious problem registering for the Apple Developer Program, and I can't resolve it. I applied over two weeks ago, but I still haven't received an activation email. I've also tried using different credit cards, suspecting there might be a problem with my payment method. The main issues are as follows: My order/registration remains in the "processing" status, I haven't received an activation email, Apple Developer Program support isn't responding. I've already sent over seven emails to support, but haven't received any response or updates. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation?

Hi everyone, I am writing this out of extreme frustration as I have been unable to complete my Apple Developer enrollment for nearly four weeks. My Enrollment ID is LT5A4XR4UF. I started this process on January 1st. On January 18th, I received an email from Apple stating that the developer team "must speak with me" to move forward. However, I am facing two major blockers that have brought the process to a complete standstill: No Phone Option: When I go to the "Contact Us" page as instructed, there is no option for a phone call—only an email form. I cannot fulfill the request to "speak" with the team if no live channel is provided. No Email Response: I have sent numerous emails over the last several days explaining this situation and providing my contact details, but Apple has not responded to any of them. It has been many days of total radio silence despite this being a time-sensitive enrollment. Details: Enrollment ID: LT5A4XR4UF Region: New Zealand Account Type: Orgnisation Total Delay: 25 days and counting Is there an Apple representative here who can look into why my case has been ghosted? Alternatively, if anyone knows a direct line or a specific time of day when the "Phone" button actually appears for New Zealand developers, please let me know. I am eager to begin developing, but the lack of support is making it impossible to even get through the front door. Thanks, Anthony

When trying to edit the last line in a pdf document it is not allowing me to go lower in the document further to edit the last part in the pdf. I expect the tool to disappear or at least I can zoom in or out to be able to edit the last line in the document. it is the new „preview„ program with thr latest update last week. I use iphone 14 with ios 26.2

My app has a menu called "Document". On Tahoe, this appears as a lightbulb icon. Is this deliberate? Is it possible to stop this? Or do I just have to use a different name if I want people to read words?

In PDFKit on MacOS, if you create a PDFView and matching Thumbnail View, and then set the PDFView to Horizontal: selecting the thumbnail no longer move the PDFView to the correct page. It works for all styles of View (Two Page Continuous, etc) in Vertical orientation.

For the last two weeks Time Machine has been unable to complete back up. It's throwing up the following: The error detail shows : The file does not exist in finder and have tried logging Mac out of iCloud and back in again but error remains. Any thoughts much appreciated.
