Once established in iOS, those “Legacy Contacts” also appear under Password & Security in MacOS System Prefs. Pressing that heading takes you through a clear, easy process for establishing one or more “Legacy Contacts.” There, in Settings, you still can’t use the search term “legacy” to find the setup pane for Legacy Contacts, but you can find it under your AppleID settings, in “Password & Security,” where a new heading clearly labeled “Legacy Contact” now appears. The interface is much clearer and easier to find in iOS 15.2, after this update. Probably this MacOS user interface for “Legacy Contacts” simply hasn’t been updated yet. The instructions say those “Recovery contacts can’t access your data, but can help you get it back.” There’s no mention of “Legacy” contacts (yet), but those “Legacy” contacts will, indeed, be able to access your data “after you’re gone” in the new system. “Legacy Contact” does not appear in the list on the right, but if you choose “Account Recovery’s” “Manage…” button, you’ll see a place to add “Recovery assistance.” Pressing the “+” button displays a screen listing “Recovery contacts” (if any) or allowing you to add some (but still no mention of “Legacy” contacts). Within AppleID settings, choose “Password & Security” (on the left column). It’s buried in AppleID settings, but even there, it’s not identified as “Legacy Contact” (or anything like that). If you try to find where to set up “Legacy Contacts” in MacOS System Prefs by using the “search” function (“legacy” seems an obvious search term), you won’t find it. I found it easy to set up on an iOS device, but more confusing in MacOS 12.1.

That’s an extensive update which hopefully has something to please everyone.ĭocumentation on Apple’s new “Legacy Contact” system is still a bit sparse, but the system seems to work.

QuartzComposer.mdimporter has been removed.

AppKit, CloudKit, Metal, OpenDirectory, SwiftUI, WebKit, Virtualization and other frameworks.

ARDAgent, AppleVNCServer and Screensharing.

Major changes noted in other components in the /System/Library folder include: If you notice any which appear incorrect, please let me know.īundled apps which have significant increments in version or build numbers include: I have updated version numbers given in articles here, including this list for Macs running Monterey, and those accessed by SilentKnight. There are firmware updates for all models supported by Monterey. There are more than forty security fixes, detailed here, including five in the kernel, several Gatekeeper bypasses, and four in TCC’s privacy protection. This also fixes Classic screensaver mode, as implied in Apple’s list of fixes. As I have been unable to reproduce the fourth claimed leak, in avconferenced (FaceTime), I haven’t tried testing for that. However, the Finder File/Find leak doesn’t appear to have been reduced at all.

Control Centre – using the Control Center no longer results in any perceptible memory leak.

Coloured pointers – customising the pointer colours in Accessibility no longer results in any substantial memory leakage.

Of the reported memory leaks, quick checks here suggest that at least two have been fixed:

#Mac system preferences energy saver not available pro#

Charging using the MagSafe adaptor shouldn’t stop on MacBook Pro 16-inch 2021 models, when the lid is closed and the system shut down.

The notch on the MacBook Pro 2021 display should no longer obscure menu bar extras.

Kernel panics resulting from playing HDR video on YouTube should no longer occur.

External displays should now charge notebooks properly.

Apple trackpads shouldn’t become unresponsive to taps.

After selecting images from the Photos library, Desktop and Screen Saver shouldn’t remain blank.

However, there’s still no sign of Universal Control, which was one of the most attractive of Monterey’s features for many, and is now promised for Spring 2022.Īpple also lists the following bugs which are fixed in 12.1:

Further improvements to Hide My Email, Stocks, Notes and Reminders.

Enhancements to the Memories features in Photos.

Apple Music Voice Plan, a new subscription service centred on Siri.

SharePlay, which enhances FaceTime with content from Apple’s media apps.

MacOS Monterey 12.1 at last brings some more of the new features promised last June.
