Updated my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta to test it — can't pair it now after downgrading iPhone
Hi everyone, I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 beta and my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta because I wanted to test out the new features. After a few days of testing, I found the iOS 26 beta too unstable and laggy for daily use, so I downgraded my iPhone back to iOS 18.5 stable. Now my Apple Watch is still running watchOS 26 beta. I tried resetting it to factory settings, hoping that would help, but now I can’t pair it back to my iPhone because it requires iOS 26 again — which I don’t want to reinstall and don't want to use it till it's stable. Is there any way to downgrade my Apple Watch back to a stable version or somehow pair it again with my iPhone running iOS 18.5? Thanks in advance for any help!

macOS 26: Can’t add a new VPN configuration
On one of my machines (new MacMini M4Pro) I can’t add any new VPN configuration, doesn’t matter what I use. Trying to set up Tailscale, I get to the point where Tailscale brings up the "Allow VPN configuration" panel. If I hit the "Allow VPN Configuration" button, then macOS pops up its own panel: "Tailscale" Would Like to Add VPN Configurations All network activity on this Mac may be filtered or monitored when using VPN. [Allow] [Don’t Allow] I hit the allow button, and after a short wait the Tailscale panel shows in red "You must allow this to use Tailscale". I can repeat this as often as I want, but Tailscale isn’t added to the VPN configurations. If I use any other third party VPN app, I get similar results: nothing gets added to the VPN configurations. If I use macOS’s System Settings and hit the "Add VPN Configuration" pop-up menu in the VPN section, and e.g. add an IKEv2 setup, it ask me to authenticate, and then provides me with the panel into which to put the relevant settings. I enter some test settings, and then hit the [Create] button... …and nothing! The new VPN configuration doesn’t show up in the list, where it should show up. It’s as if I had done nothing. No matter what I do, the VPN configurations are immutable. I suspect that some folder somewhere is either missing or for some reason has the wrong permissions. Where are these VPN configurations stored? Any other hints on how to fix this? Reinstalling the OS does’t fix this, since this issue persisted across various betas of macOS26

iOS 26 CarPlay Non-Responsive
iPhone 16 Pro Max on iOS 18.5 before installing iOS 26 beta had no issues connecting to wired (there’s no wireless) CarPlay in my 2022 Honda Civic Sport. Now with IOS 26, my car recognizes that my phone is connected and asks if I want to use CarPlay and I click yes but it does nothing. I reset my head unit, reset all iPhone settings, checked different iPhone settings, tried different cables, can’t seem to determine what part of iOS 26 is causing the problem. Anyone have any ideas before I roll back to 18.5?

Change Developer Forum Username
Hi There, Last year, I changed my company name from SugAR Labs to All Immersive. My current developer forum username is "SugAR_Labs" and I would like to change it to "All_Immersive" to match my new company name. I was advised by developer support on a phone call that there is not a way for me to do this myself. They referred me to a post like this to see if someone could help. Can someone help me make the change? Thanks!

PDF issues
Since the last Mac software upgrade, PDF's off my IMac are not being printed or aligned correctly. I have multiple printers and multiple apps and it all prints the same. This is not a "printer driver" issue or an app issue. I am suspecting that this may be an issue since upgrading to Sequonia 15.4.1. Looking to see if others have had this issue. Thanks.

How to enable MIE on MacOS
I am working on a security research project on macOS (Apple Silicon M5) and trying to use Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) to detect heap memory bugs such as use-after-free. I can confirm the hardware supports MTE hw.optional.arm.FEAT_MTE: 1) and the stack sanitizer (-fsanitize=memtag-stack) does work correctly on this machine. The gap is specifically heap tagging through the allocator. Is there any env variables for this?

ios 26 beta: Podcast chapter images not updating on Carplay or USB/Bluetooth
With ios 26 the chapter images are not updating anymore. At first I thought this is carlay related but it also occures when the phone is connected only through USB or bluetooth to play a podcast. I tried Apple podcasts and other apps like Pocketcast or audible. Same problem. The phone shows the correct chapter image while my car shows the inital image all the time. Even tried a different car :-) I checked focus and settings but found nothing related. With ios18 everything works fine. Any ideas?

Innovative mind with creative cutting edge vision and not enough tech experience
Hello! My name is Brittany! I’m a designer/artist. I am curious about what I should do.. I have all these ideas for developing things in the Apple Vision Pro world. But I have little to no experience with that stuff. I def need an outlet for my creative cutting edge ideas. Is this stuff easy to learn or am I better off working with someone to create my vision? How much would that even cost? Thank you kindly for any assistance💖

Problems connecting with Colab Enterprise python notebook on iPad mini
I'm trying to run Colab Enterprise notebook's from my iPad Mini, and continue getting the error message 'Unable to connect to the runtime'. The references support page offers a list of potential issues. I've checked off browser issues (same situation on Chrome, Safari and Firefox), Permissions (works fine on Macbook with same credentials), and network blocking dev platforms (tried this on 3 different networks, plus it works on my macbook). All signs point to a device issue, but Apple support isn't supporting this issue. If anyone has any insight into this, I'd appreciate any info. thx

Wireless audio calibration with AirPlay speakers
Hey, I have AirPlay speakers that I want to use as permanent speakers on my Apple TV. It is possible since tvOS 26. I want to delete the delay from the connection to the speakers and tried out the wireless audio calibration, but then the TV speakers go on and it only works there, not on the speakers. Does anyone have a solution?
