New Finder window always on the wrong display
In my setup, the largest external display is Primary, and that's where I do most of my work. The other two external monitors are smaller, and far enough away that I can't use them for viewing text. However, when I open a new Finder window (e.g. cmd-N), it often opens on one of the non-Primary displays, which means I need to drag it to the Primary. What is the algorithm used by the Finder to decide where new windows are placed? I would like to specify that all new Finder windows should open on the Primary display.

ios18.6 Bug (Hotspot login)
Recently have updated one phone to the new 18.6 public beta and now I cant log into my Cox hotspot. It pops up asking for username/password as always, but when you click either of them to type it in it closes the window. Tested my second phone that wasnt updated and works just fine. Updated it to the new 18.6 and now the same thing happens

How to detect if an iPad is configured as a Shared iPad (Apple School Manager)?
I'm working on an iOS/iPadOS app and need to determine programmatically whether the device is a Shared iPad as configured through Apple School Manager (ASM). Shared iPads allow multiple users to sign in with Managed Apple IDs and are typically used in educational environments. I want to identify this configuration at runtime within my app. I’ve looked into UIDevice, NSProcessInfo, and MDM-related APIs but haven't found a reliable way to detect whether the current device is a Shared iPad. Is there an API or method to check if the current iPad is configured as a Shared iPad (via ASM)? Any guidance or code examples would be appreciated.

CSV or TSV file in Numbers app
Hi Everybody knows about how this kind of files works. My issue is about trying to load data from these files to a HTML page. Everything works, I can read and use this data on my project however the records I have in Numbers, text where there are commas for punctuation, will be separated when this file is loaded. The comma is breaking the records, I know this is a CSV file but is there a way to set semicolon as delimiter on Mac or Numbers to be able to use the comma in my records without any issue? Also could be another symbol, but definitely I need the commas. thank you!

BLE Scan Response
The iPhone XS Max and Garmin watch pairing cannot use BLE to send Scan Response; it can only send BLE advertisements. May I ask if this is a limitation of the Apple system? So far, we have tested several iPhone models, and only the iPhone XS Max has this issue. We are not sure if other untested models have the same problem.

BLE advertisement
Dear Apple: After upgrading to version 26 of the iPhone, when broadcasting using the local name, the iPhone 15 Pro Max was truncated to iPhone 15 Pro Ma with a type of 08 (shortened), but the overall length of the broadcast did not exceed 31 bytes

IOS 26 Camera and External Storage
Hi All, I searched for this feedback but didn't see it, so apologies if this has been covered by another thread. Exploring the new camera app, It doesn't seem to recognize that external storage has been connected, so the additional features that allow ProRes high frame rates will throw an error dialog stating that "to use this you need external storage" even when external storage is connected. Using the Files app, the phone recognizes the storage, and this is something I can do with this external storage device on the previous version of IOS. It is clear that this release of the camera has been rewritten significantly since the last version. Is it possible that this is an oversight, a bug, or just functionality that has not been completed? Interested if anybody else is seeing this, or if it is just my setup.

Independent Technician from Chile Publishes Surgical Apple XR Restore Lab – POSIX Environment, Public Portfolio, Formal Apple Request
Hello engineers, technicians and Apple community, I'm an autodidact technician from Temuco, Chile. I have built a fully documented surgical Apple restore lab focused on extreme intervention and analysis for a disabled iPhone XR. The restoration was executed using POSIX infrastructure (MSYS2/UCRT64, WSL2, Hyper-V) with manual compilation of essential tools (libirecovery, img4tool, libimobiledevice). All scripting, bootchain traces and environment diagnostics have been published for public review. 🔧 GitHub repository (public): https://github.com/Robinson-bastias/apple-xr-surgical-lab 📄 PDF portfolio (attached): Apple_XR_Surgical_Portfolio.pdf I have submitted a formal technical request to Apple Developer Support with full rights, asking for community engagement and further access to devices for expanded research. My goal is to contribute surgical technical insight, empower autodidact technicians in underserved regions, and help strengthen Apple restoration transparency from the ground. All traces, interventions and logs are public and replicable. Feedback, validation or references to Apple restoration mechanisms are deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering this independent initiative. – Robinson Miguel Bastías Leiva Technical operator / autodidact Temuco, Chile

Our main account has been closed
Hello, The icloud main account with our app was closed for some reason we don't know why. We are unable to take action because we cannot accept current apple policies. We are unable to change the app's main account, and we have not been able to find out how to do this from Apple Turkey Support. How can we solve this problem?

tvOS 26 removes ability to restrict apps with passcode
Please make sure this feature gets placed back. Parents need a way to provide the ability for kids to watch and not watch at their discretion. The new system doesn’t allow this to happen. Are there any workarounds?
