Running macOS on an iPad? Jailbreak project makes progress

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-27 11:29:34

Apple may not be merging macOS and iPadOS, but the two version 26 operating systems share a lot of similarities. Still, the quest to actually port the Mac operating system to the iPad continues. As Steve Troughton-Smith suggests Mastodon, “hackintosh” may soon refer to an iPad running macOS and not a homegrown Mac clone. “Apple may not bring macOS to iPad, but it looks like we’re getting to a point where people can hackintosh it together on a jailbroken device anyway,” he writes.

macOS Tahoe 26 beta brings over a dozen new aerial screen savers to your Mac

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-27 12:03:36

With macOS Tahoe, Apple will be adding a bunch of new screen saver options, which you can also set as wallpapers. There are a couple new variants of the previously introduced Tahoe screen saver in beta 5, as well as around a dozen other options introduced in a previous beta that flew under the radar. As a Mac user, I’ve always really enjoyed all of the real world wallpapers built into macOS. It was a bit disappointing when macOS Monterey and Ventura didn’t include real world wallpapers to repre

macOS Tahoe put your apps in icon jail? Here’s the fix

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-28 16:38:44

Yesterday I highlighted macOS Tahoe’s aggressive behavior of putting nonconforming app icons inside an ugly gray box of shame. The change seems to affect the Mac user experience more than it impacts the app developer. It makes the actual icon 20% smaller and 80% harder to recognize. A great thing about the Mac, though, is the ability to customize app icons. This can be a temporary solution. You just need to track down an app icon that works. Here’s how to swap out app icons on macOS Tahoe and a

macOS Tahoe 26 public beta 2 rolling out, here’s how to install it

Following a distribution hiccup, Apple is now rolling out macOS Tahoe 26 public beta 2. Here’s how to install it, and what to expect. First things first: should you install the beta? You probably know the drill: Betas can be unpredictably buggy. Even if something works on one release, it is not guaranteed to work on the next.

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 5 retires the old Macintosh HD icon

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-07 02:59:26

On today’s developer beta release of macOS Tahoe 26, Apple replaced the old Macintosh HD icon, which depicted an actual hard disk drive, with a new SSD-looking icon. Here’s what it looks like. The old icon, a silver metal box with screws, vents, and a warning sticker, had a good run, considering Apple hasn’t shipped Macs with mechanical hard drives for a while.

Whatever your opinion of the new Liquid Glass design coming in iOS 26 and Apple’s other updates, there’s no doubt it’s sparked a lot of interest. As compelling as new features might be for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, there’s nothing like a fresh design to spur upgrades. And according to CEO Tim Cook, Apple has seen

Dubbed “SploitLight,” the flaw exploited how Spotlight indexes plugin data to access sensitive files and Apple Intelligence metadata. Apple addressed the issue in macOS in March, but users on older versions could be at risk. Microsoft alerted Apple to the exploit upon discovery, leading to its fix in macOS earlier this year.
