Tuesday, October 9th, 2018| Author: Having issues with? Seems like it’s a rite of passage to install a new version of the macOS, and then uncover issues we didn’t see in the beta version. With macOS Mojave, we appear to be seeing a smaller crop of issues than we saw in our previous “what broke” guides: • • That may be due to a more rigorous beta cycle, or maybe we just haven’t had enough time to uncover all the possible problems. Either way, here’s our newest guide to what broke and how to fix it in macOS Mojave. • Select Exchange. From the + menu selection located at the bottom left corner of the 'Accounts' screen. SMS Messages Not Delivered If you use the Messages app on the Mac to send SMS messages, you may notice a strange timeout error occurring when you send an SMS message to a non-Apple device. Once you send such a message, you may see a “Not Delivered” error message. While the error message is a bit vexing, it gets stranger. Turns out your message was sent, and likely received, without any problems.

The problem may be that the failing app makes use of one of your Mac’s hardware or software components that is now protected by Mojave’s privacy system. When an app tries to access one of the protected components, your Mac should put up a warning and ask if you wish to let the app make use of the item, say your Mac’s camera or microphone. (Logging out and back into iCloud may correct the SMS delivery error.) If that was the extent of the issue, you could probably live with it and wait for a fix in one of the subsequent Mojave updates. But as you may have guessed, there’s one more problem associated with the Not Delivered error. ![]() Once you see the Not Delivered error message, the recipient will not be able to send you any responses. At the time of this writing, there’s no fix available for the issue that always works. But I can list a few things that some people have reported as a cure, although just as many said the cure didn’t help them. Since there’s no official fix, this, then, is a best shot approach: • Sign out and sign back into Messages: Works for some people, but in most cases, the problem eventually returns. • Sign out of iCloud and sign back in: The idea here is to force your Mac’s data to. If you give this fix a try, be sure to save the iCloud data locally on your Mac, just to ensure you don’t lose any information. You’ll be presented with the option to save the iCloud data locally when you sign out. ![]() • Stop sending SMS messages to non-Apple devices: This works, but it may be difficult to get all your Android-using friends to switch to Apple. The SMS error appears to be very erratic, with many people not experiencing the problem at all, yet there’s more than a handful of users who have reported the issue. If you’ve seen this problem, let us know by using the comments section, below. Weird Fonts No, not a new set of fonts for the Mac, but fonts you’ve been using for ages now looking weird in Mojave. The usual sign for weird fonts is a bit of blurring or softness along the edges, even the straight horizontal or vertical lines of a letter. The blurring is seen most often on non-Retina Macs. The cause is Mojave disabling sub-pixel antialiasing, an older font rendering technique that helped fonts appear smoother and less jagged on most displays. You could solve the problem by, or you can try the following fix: You may not be afflicted with the problem if you upgraded to Mojave from an earlier OS that had font smoothing enabled. Even then, some users have mentioned the weird fonts even though they upgraded. No matter what the actual sequence of events is needed to disable sub-pixel font rendering, you can turn the feature back on with this simple two-step process: Launch System Preferences by clicking or tapping the System Preferences icon in the Dock, or selecting System Preferences from the Apple menu. Select the General preference pane from the System Preferences window. At the bottom of the General preference pane, make sure there’s a checkmark in the “Use LCD font smoothing when available” box. (It may say “Use font smoothing when available,” depending on the type of display you’re using.). (Use Terminal to enable sub-pixel font smoothing if you are experiencing weird looking fonts.) Even if the font-smoothing box was already checked, you need to continue on to the second part of the fix: to force font rendering to be enabled: • Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities. • At the Terminal prompt, enter the following: • defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO • Press enter or return on your keyboard. • You can quit Terminal and close the System Preferences window if it’s still open. • For the change to take effect, you need to restart your Mac. Bluetooth Devices Not Connecting to Your Mac There was a Bluetooth issue during the beta phase of macOS Mojave development, but it was believed to have been fixed in the release version of Mojave. Even so, some users are reporting that many third-party are unable to connect to their Macs, or aren’t seen by their Macs. This is an easy one to fix, and only requires the removal of the Bluetooth plist file your Mac maintains.
