macOS users - what are you disappointed about?

I think we need a macOS rants thread - just for those little things that bug us :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Feel free to start dedicated threads for any ‘bigger’ issues, but if you just want to get something off your chest or feel it doesn’t warrant a dedicated thread, you’re welcome to use this one…

Apple Music

Apple Music has been bugging me for a while, both on macOS and iOS. Right now their search is pretty pants - and Shazam isn’t much better! I often Shazam something but it doesn’t show a link for Apple Music… but then I go to Apple Music and search for the same track and it’s there! Also searching in AM is rubbish too, especially when you combine two artists who have co-released a track.

Sometimes I wonder whether Apple devs actually use their computers tbh - probably out and about enjoying all those billions :rofl: (can’t say I blame them tbh, but they should set up feedback groups).

Apple Music search is embarrassing! On my Mac often times it doesn’t even pick my search and just shows the “For You” tab contents… :man_facepalming:

Apple Books can’t even remember which book you are reading after it gets restarted in the background (on your phone or tablet). The same happens when I restart the app on my Mac… This is a very amateur and sloppy job.

Safari is awfully slow when showing all tabs or opening a new tab. After a lot of reading many people pinpointed the problem at having a lot of bookmarks, which makes it even worse. What kind of a software, in 2021, with the absurd amount of processing power 95% of all computers have, is going to lag that severely on opening a new tab because you have some meager 5K bookmarks or so? :open_mouth:

iOS / iPadOS Photos periodically rearranges my albums and I have to arrange them back.

iOS / iPadOS is taking ages to check and populate new GMail messages (to be fair, it might be Google’s fault here but still, it works much faster on a Mac).

Also lately my iMac Pro has rebooted by itself twice (last 3 weeks or so), which left a very sour taste in my mouth.


As we discussed lately, they are slipping badly.

Lack of support bothers me a bit, but it’s alright :smiley:
Big sur is amazing, but since I’m on a hackintosh, I won’t be able to take full advantage of my specs :grimacing:

I can’t write curly brackets with my Windows enhanced keyboard (Swedish Pro layout, help me out MacOS pros!!)

cmd, ctrl and option are weird. Especially on a windows enhanced keyboard :dizzy_face:

Otherwise I can’t really can’t see any other issues with MacOS than those I listed above :sweat_smile:
