Account pending
Hi everyone, I purchased an Apple Developer Program membership about three days ago. The payment has already been successfully charged to my bank account, but my account is still showing the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership.” I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information since completing the purchase. I’m curious if others have experienced a similar delay recently, and how long it took before your developer account was fully activated. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Numbers spreadsheet won't open
Hi. I’d appreciate any advice regarding the issue described below. Steps to reproduce the problem: Access iCloud.com from Safari on my Mac mini using my account. Create and save a Numbers spreadsheet. Access iCloud.com from Safari on an iPhone SE (2nd generation) using the same Apple account. Tap the file icon of the saved Numbers spreadsheet. Safari navigates to “about:blank” and displays an error message. Error message: **This spreadsheet is unavailable. The owner stopped sharing, or you do not have permission to open this spreadsheet. ** I used to be able to view these files, but now none of the spreadsheets will open. Environment: Intel Mac mini (2018) macOS Sequoia 15.7.7 Safari 26.3 iPhone SE (2020) iOS 26.5 Beta 4 What I’ve tried: Suspecting a Safari issue, I installed Google Chrome on the iPhone and tried accessing iCloud.com, but encountered the same error. Installed the Numbers app on the iPhone and accessed the files on iCloud — they open successfully. Created and saved a new file using the Numbers app on the iPhone, then tried accessing it via Safari and Chrome through iCloud — the same error occurs. Additional information: Other files on iCloud (such as Notes) can be opened across devices without any issues. Installing the Numbers app on the iPhone allows me to view the files, but since I only need to view them (not edit or create new ones), I’d prefer not to install it if possible. This might be related to participating in the beta program (I’ve already submitted a report via Feedback Assistant). Would downgrading be advisable?

Regression: iPhone SE 2 Smart Battery Case data pass-through broken for wired CarPlay since iOS 26
Environment: • Device: iPhone SE (2nd Generation) • OS: iOS 26 (Internal Build/Public Release • Accessory: Official Apple Smart Battery Case Vehicle: Wired CarPlay compatible head unit Issue Description: After upgrading to iOS 26, the official Smart Battery Case no longer supports data pass-through for wired CarPlay on the iPhone SE 2. While the case still charges the phone normally, the vehicle fails to recognize the device as a CarPlay source when connected via the case's Lightning/USB-C port. Troubleshooting performed: Direct Connection: Connecting the iPhone directly to the car (without the case) works perfectly. CarPlay launches immediately. Cross-Version Check: This setup was fully functional on iOS 18. The issue started immediately after the iOS 26 update. Isolation: Tested with multiple certified cables and different vehicles; the failure only occurs when the Smart Battery Case is in the chain. Analysis: This appears to be a driver or protocol regression in iOS 26 specifically affecting the data bridge of the Smart Battery Case on the SE 2 platform. Request: Is anyone else seeing this on older Touch ID devices? I have captured sysdiagnose logs during a failed connection attempt and am looking for the best way to escalate this to the engineering team for a fix in the next point release.

iMessage login loop after Tahoe 26.5 beta update
iMessage Authentication Loop on macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta Issue Description: iMessage is stuck in a persistent login/authentication loop after updating to macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta. The app repeatedly prompts for Apple ID and password. After entering credentials, it briefly attempts to sign in before returning to the login prompt or showing an "unknown error." This issue is isolated to the MacBook Air (M3); iMessage continues to work correctly on iPhone, iPad, and Mac mini. Related Forum Thread: Several other users are reporting identical symptoms here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256256620 Troubleshooting Steps Taken (All Failed): Standard Maintenance: Restarted Messages app, rebooted the MacBook Air, and verified Date/Time settings. Credential Management: Changed Apple ID password and attempted sign-in with new credentials. Manual Keychain Cleanup: Attempted to delete iMessage and com.apple.idms entries via Keychain Access UI (entries were persistent and could not be deleted). Terminal-Based Force Deletion: Executed the following commands to target specific registration tokens: security delete-generic-password -s "com.apple.facetime: registrationV1" security delete-generic-password -s "com.apple.imessage: registrationV1" Cache & Identity Purge: Cleared local authentication state and app caches: rm -rf ~/Library/IdentityServices/* rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Messages rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.imessage Full Keychain Reset ("Nuclear Option"): Renamed the Keychains folder to force macOS to create a brand-new database: mv ~/Library/Keychains ~/Library/Keychains-old Followed by an immediate system restart. Current Status: Despite a completely fresh Keychain and cleared caches, the "unknown error" and login loop persist, suggesting a regression in the authentication subsystem of build 26.5.

Apple Music
I have an IMAC with 5,940 songs on it. I had a one month free subscription to Apple Music that I canceled before the month was over. I can not play most the songs that I had downloaded during that month. That I understand because I no longer have a subscription..BUT i do not understand why my 5,940 songs that I had downloaded 8 years ago are not accessible to me or ARE GONE!!!!! Some of those songs were audio files of my late husband and father. Those we my files. And I have been told that I can get them back if I subscribe to Apple Music . This is outrageous!!!!

Cellular not initializing on iPadOS 26.4 (resolved by network reset)
We are seeing an issue after updating iPads to iPadOS 26.4 where cellular service is lost until network settings are reset. Environment: Devices managed via Apple Business Manager and Microsoft Intune Carrier: Verizon Confirmed affected devices: iPad (9th generation) eSIM Behavior: After update, device shows no cellular service No prompt to re-activate or re-add the cellular plan The plan appears to still be present on the device Workaround observed: Resetting Network Settings restores service Notes: This does not appear to be a provisioning issue (no need to re-add eSIM) Behavior suggests the cellular/eSIM state may not be initializing correctly after update Toggling Cellular or Airplane mode has not yet been tested for service restoration. We have not yet confirmed whether devices using a physical SIM are affected Still gathering data on scope across additional iPad models Additional observation: We have not observed this behavior on iPhones (e.g., iPhone 16 on iOS 26.4 with LTE remains unaffected) Has anyone else observed similar behavior on iPadOS 26.4, particularly on managed devices or eSIM configurations?

Apple Developer Program Enrollment PROBLEM
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?

However, the file finder of macOS works fine, the issue is in popped up file finder from an app, such as in Xcode, swift playground, trying the locate a file in MacBook. Even in edit this forum post, when I try to add a screen shot, press add image symbol, the popped up file finder is unresponsive and whole screen wide, same issue as in Xcode and swift playground. what is the cause of this issue, and how to correct it?

I shouldn't need to upload a new build just to change app description / keywords
Currently, to update the Description or Keywords, even a minor update (e.g. typo correction or add a single keyword), I need to go through the relatively lengthy process of submitting a new build, even if no changes to the app are required. Submitting a new build shouldn't be required for these superficial field changes since they only affect the storefront presence. Submitted suggestion to Feedback Assistant.

iPadOS – WiFi “incorrect password” but WPA2 PSK is correct – need help interpreting sysdiagnose Join logs
Hi everyone, I’m troubleshooting a WiFi issue affecting some iPads on a WPA2-PSK network with captive portal. Problem: The iPad shows “incorrect password” when connecting to the SSID. The password is correct (validated with multiple devices). Other devices connect normally. After entering the password, the captive portal should appear, but it never does. What we see on the network side (Cisco WLC): Client associates successfully. RADIUS authentication is successful. Failure occurs during the 4-way handshake: Received EAPOL-key M2 with invalid MIC This causes deauthentication, which the iPad reports as “incorrect password”. From the iPad sysdiagnose (Entity_Join file): Entity_2026-04-15_10_23_39.529_Join Entity_2026-04-15_10_23_39.529_Join.csv Questions: Does anyone know how to interpret: reason status subReason values in Entity_Join logs? Specifically: What does reason = -3925 mean? What does reason = 1 mean? What does subreason = 524288 mean? Any insight into these codes or similar experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!
