I usually connect my iPad Pro M1 to an external monitor via the USB-C port without any issues. However, after updating to iPadOS 26 Beta 5 and now Beta 6, the connection no longer works. To troubleshoot, I tested other devices and setups: Tried connecting a wireless mouse via a 2.4GHz USB receiver - no response. Tried connecting the iPad to my MacBook via USB-C to USB-C cable - not recognized. Both the external monitor and mouse still work perfectly with my MacBook Air (macOS 18.6). This leads me to believe there may be a problem with the iPad’s USB-C data transfer functionality. I’ve checked the iPadOS 26 Beta Release Notes and found no mention of this issue. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Has Apple acknowledged it or provided any updates? Thanks for your help!

When printing to paper from Pages in iOS 26 Beta, the top, bottom and sides margins become larger comparing with iOS 18. Hope this wil fix in the next beta or the final version. Thanks.

Dear Apple Engineering Team, I am experiencing catastrophic data loss affecting years of documents after a routine iPhone-to-iPhone iCloud synchronization. Standard Apple Support has been unable to resolve this issue, and I urgently need engineering-level assistance. INCIDENT SUMMARY: Date: August 9, 2025 Action: Synced iCloud from iPhone 16 to iPhone 12 mini Result: ALL files in iCloud Drive on Mac disappeared Data lost: Multiple years of documents including critical PDF files Support Case #: [Your case number if you have one] TECHNICAL DETAILS: Mac: MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 Source: iPhone 16 Destination: iPhone 12 mini iCloud account: [Your Apple ID] WHAT HAPPENED: Had fully populated iCloud Drive on Mac and iPhone 16 Signed into iCloud on iPhone 12 mini to sync data After sync completion, Mac's iCloud Drive became completely empty Desktop and Documents folders show in structure but contain no files iCloud.com shows empty folders "Recently Deleted" in iCloud.com is also empty ATTEMPTED RECOVERY: Checked ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ - only folder structure remains Verified with 'brctl dump' - shows folders but no documents Checked all trash locations - empty No Time Machine backup available Apple Support unable to recover server-side backups CRITICAL QUESTIONS: Does Apple maintain point-in-time snapshots of iCloud data that engineering can access? Can you check server logs for my Apple ID around August 9, 2025? Is there a known issue with iPhone 16 to iPhone 12 mini iCloud sync? Can you restore my iCloud Drive to its state before August 9, 2025? This appears to be a serious sync bug that caused newer device's empty state to overwrite existing data rather than merging. I have not touched the affected devices to preserve any forensic data. I urgently need someone from the iCloud engineering team to investigate server-side recovery options. This is years of irreplaceable personal and professional data. Please escalate this to the appropriate engineering team immediately. I am available 24/7 for any diagnostic information needed. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. Heejin Jo +82 10-6879-2647

Request: Unlock full custom date setting on iPad (even pre-2001) with internet on I’d like to request a feature in iPadOS that allows the system date to be set to any value — even before January 1, 2001 — without disabling or breaking internet access. This is important for: Historical and educational simulations Timeline-sensitive app testing Calendar research and UI behavior in legacy periods Currently, iPadOS blocks dates before 2001. It also may bug out or disable networking features when dates are changed too far back. 📎 I've submitted this request to Apple via the official Feedback Form, and I’ve created a public GitHub repo to invite further support: 🔗 https://github.com/RubixCubeExpert/ipad-date-unlock-request If other developers support this, please reply or upvote. Thanks!

There seems to be a broken USB sync and Finder recognition issue. Is there a fix to this?

Hello there I’m on public beta 1 and wanna update now to the public beta 2 but the beta doesn’t show up the dev 5 is showing up but the public 2 not why or what can I do

Hey guys, I've been searching high and low for some clarity when it comes to this topic. Essentially, what is the legality/risk of using apple music previews in my app. Does Apple license the previews meaning they are fair to use as long as I link to that URL? Do i need to license every song individually? I can not find anything concrete out and while the apple team let my app (that currently plays preview urls) on the app store I know that doesn't necessarily legally cover me. Any input is appreciated, i know this is a pretty niche area.

Background: I'm from Kenya and I use Mpesa all the time far more than bank cards. I use it to pay for stuff. One way that works is I input my phone number in the online checkout form and it should initiate what they call STK push on my phone with the line inside. I should input my Mpesa pin to authorize the payment. That works well on my Android and the basic "button" phone. In the iphone, I get issues. Issue: I was checking out at a supermarket, and on the line I should get a prompt and input the pin and that is it. I get the prompt, input the pin. The POS should update in a second or two and I should get a confirmation message. Nothing happens. Looking at the network bar, I realize the network bar is gone for one SIM. I don't know which. Airplane mode on off and try again the checkout. After inputing the pin, nothing happens. Then someone hints that iphones don't work with STK push. I had to go out, withdraw from an agent so I could pay for my stuff. 30 minutes wasted. Today I'm eating at a restaurant that has the same mpesa check-out. Same issue. I had to send money normally to an employee, who offers to go get cash for me at a fee since the nearest mpesa agent or ATM was kilometers away. Time and money wasted. Now this evening I'm chilling somewhere and there is an internet hotspot where you pay with mpesa and use internet with hourly rates. Tried to pay. Nothing happens after sending the pin. Well, something happens - there is a network outage on one SIM - network bars greyed out. I have to airplane on and off or wait a few minutes for it to come back on again. Trying to pay for Spotify premium, same issue. Tried asking people with iphones and it seems to be a common issue. It works sometimes, most times not. At first I thought it is because I'm using beta version of iOS. Pretty much everyone with iphone is complaining. In fact iPhone people are walking around with a backup 'mpesa' phone because of this issue. I haven't seen an answer in the discussions. Maybe people in the rest of the world haven't experienced this because this kind of payment is not very popular elsewhere. I would like to know if this is a bug or is it some settings we missed to make it work. Thank you.

I installed the new developer beta 26 yesterday, but since that I only have problems with my iPhone. Besides not being able to update the software bc an error appears, I also don‘t have the abbility to use mobile data. If I try to, it only says „could not activate mobile data network“. I already tried to restart the phone, to reset it or to take the SIM out and in

As of today we seem to continuously get back 21 of the product IDs we have defined when the shop initializes. This is causing what looks like intermittent bug behavior in our shop. The IDs sent each time are random (not always the same 21). So sometimes they match shop offers and the packs look right and can be bought and sometimes the ones our current shop offers need are not sent and so the offers in game look wrong and error when you try to buy. Is anyone else seeing this new behavior of not getting down all their product IDs successfully?

Installed the iOS 26 Beta on my iPhone 13 Pro last night, hated it. I wasn't aware that there is a supported way of restoring back to iOS18.5, so I (foolishly) opted to flash the iOS18.5 ispw file onto my device using a 3rd party tool. Now, my device is stuck in a state between. Unable to flash, unable to use itunes to restore, randomly gives error codes during restoration attempts. Worries my device may be lost permanently! Please advise.

Since i have updated my 16 pro max to ios 26, i cannot change my apple account's photo. I have made some attempts without success. any ideas? thanks

Since updating to iOS 26, audio recordings made through apps like Snapchat and Instagram sound broken, saccaded and choppy. The issue happens with or without headphones. It feels like the microphone is either misused or filtered too aggressively by the app, leading to a stuttering or “cut-off” effect during speech. This doesn’t happen when recording audio in the Voice Memos app or the Camera app — only in social media apps.

I successfully installed macOS Tahoe 26 in June on a separate external partition. Now I want to update to beta 5, but when the Mac restarts to install the update, it shows the progress indicator for a minute or two, then boots again into the main partition which has macOS 15.6. Am I required to install it from scratch?

Hello, I recently downloaded the new beta IOS 26 update and since then (about a week back) I haven’t been able to make direct calls .Is there a solution to this problem. If so, please help me Thank you so much 🙏🏼

WiFi networks using Captive login fail to present login screen. Network connects but no internet access. I have to use my iPhone running iOS 18 as hotspot to use Captive network.

The iPhone mobile data usage skyrocketed to use 1GB per day whereas I am normally a 5GB a month data user. the culprit was Apple System Services General there is currently no iPhone functionality to turn off System Services Genera. the solution was to block updates.cdn-apple.com using data sniffer called Proxyman. Tip hat to the person who posted “High mobile data usage on iOS 18 and how to solve it” on Reddit.com This is something apple developers maybe should look at

Hi all, Im trying tu publish an app for iOS and I get it rejected by the lack of this privacy manifest, but unless I understood this wrong, this manifest is needed for external tools used, or maybe Im wrong, Im publishing an app made in Unity, so in this case, one has to include a privacy manifest by default? Sorry Im lost in all these terms, so I don't know if im asking something redundant, if you know how to fix this issue please tell me or direct me to the process because I haven't been able to identify the issue. Thanks a lot for any clue beforehand really

After checking the forum, it's clear that Apple has a MAJOR ONGOING PROBLEM here. We are far from the only company experiencing this, and it has been a problem for years. Apple, please FIX THIS! What's the problem? We receive an email reminding us to renew our developer account. All of Apple's instructions to renew do not work (with no explanation), and yet we are threatened with removal of our apps if we do not renew in time. Firstly, it should be unnecessary for us to manually renew because we registered a valid credit card to auto-renew. It worked last year, and the same credit card continues to be valid. Secondly, when we try to manually renew, there is no "Renew" button appearing anywhere, contrary to Apple's instructions. It's not in the Developer app (Mac or iOS), and it does not appear in the Developer account website. We now have only 16 days left until Apple kicks our app out of the App Store. @APPLE: We are not alone. Lots of your customers have the same problem, as reported on this forum for multiple years. This problem threatens the livelihoods of many people. Please fix this! Thank you.
