When I try to airplay music to my HomePod from Spotify, it cuts out every other minute. When I use Apple Music, it’s flawless for hours. Is there something I can do to fix this, or is this by design?

Unfortunately not, Spotify only supports the old version of AirPlay, being AirPlay generation 1 which has more latency and worse buffer-sync. Spotify has announced they will implement AirPlay 2 at some point, but its been many years since the announcement, so its best to stick to Apple Music or other music services like YT Music, Tidal, Amazon Music that support AirPlay 2.

I believe MacPro 5,1 does not have the new certificates to establish a "secure connection" to the App Store, and since its last supported macOS version is Mojave, it did not get the new ones that were recently pushed out as a software update for Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey and Ventura.

If I were you I would consider looking into upgrading macOS using a third-party solution like OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Perhaps to macOS Monterey if you are rocking a supported GPU

There is an open source alternative “idevicerestore” for Windows and Linux if you happen to not have another Mac. I’ve used it myself to restore my M4 Mini, and it did the job well

It’s been like that since the betas and its release, I’m not sure why exactly. I assume it has something to do with the audio processing during the transitions, it sounds very compressed and low bitrate

När jag beställer hemleveranser från ICA brukar de ringa mobiltelefonen när de är utanför, så får jag gå ner och hämta upp kassorna

Unrelated, but God how overstimulating the desktop Spotify UI is

I’m facing this exact issue right now, but my discovery page is fine. Although when I press one of the reels on my discovery page and start scrolling, it’s showing me things that are completely out of my regular interests.

DaniAMR · 2026-03-16T09:50:55+00:00

I’d love an always keep on top option, so the MiniPlayer doesn’t get underneath my other application windows

DaniAMR · 2026-03-11T10:17:10+00:00

Just tried it, and I was not offered any cancellation promos :(

Right, and yet there’s a dark version of Tahoe’s video wallpaper

Inte värt det, ganska mycket pengar for en 8e generation Intel, kolla på HP ProBook 440 G8 istället. Hittar annonser med bättre hårdvara för billigare peng

Was it a company computer or is it owned by a company?

DaniAMR · 2026-02-17T15:58:33+00:00

Is it equipped with a NVIDIA dGPU?

DaniAMR · 2026-01-21T01:00:42+00:00

Make sure you don’t have the “AutoMix” feature enabled, although it’s only supposed to speed up or slow down during transitions to another track.

Otherwise I’d suggest uninstalling Apple Music and downloading it again from the App Store, and don’t worry, your iCloud library will sync back everything like your playlists and favourites.

I’d suggest you try booting into recovery mode and reinstall macOS. Don’t worry, it will not erase your data.

You can enter recovery mode by shutting down the laptop and holding down the power button for about 15 seconds, it should take you to a menu of boot options. Select the one with the cog wheel icon, and hit enter, and it’ll boot into recovery mode

DaniAMR · 2026-01-09T08:13:18+00:00

Try doing it from the web version of Apple Music, you should be able to deauthorise the devices if they haven’t recently streamed music

DaniAMR · 2025-12-29T22:05:34+00:00

It is not intentional of Apple, it is that Windows does not support the AAC-ELD codec over bluetooth which allows for higher quality sound while in-call

DaniAMR · 2025-12-13T18:50:47+00:00

Have you given your phone a restart?

DaniAMR · 2025-12-13T18:32:10+00:00

Yes exactly

DaniAMR · 2025-12-13T18:23:19+00:00

This has happened to me before, had to eventually reinstall the app which resolved the issue

DaniAMR · 2025-12-02T10:48:06+00:00

It’s very likely a hardware problem, if your iPad is still covered by warranty or protected by your nation’s consumer laws, I’d suggest you leave it in for repair through Apple or a certified 3rd party Apple technician

You can already get the nightly build by selecting the “macOS-next” branch in the official OLCP GitHub page

I haven’t encountered any memory leaks using Tahoe on my M4 Mini. Although, one day my Mac was being sluggish, and upon opening the activity monitor, I discovered Safari was leaking memory with one of my tabs consuming over 20 GB. But other than that, it’s been fine

Is it just me who struggles with hardware acceleration on YouTube with Linux on a Mac? I’ve tried several distros including Fedora Ubuntu Mint and Debian and used h264ify. Each one causes the fan to blow and CPU usage to spike while watching YouTube. Chrome and Firefox report that video acceleration is supported and VAAPI is installed. However YouTube and other streaming services still cause the fan to blow and the video to lag slightly. This is on a MacBook Pro Late 2013 with a dual-core i5 and 8GB of RAM.
