The keyboard is not being correctly recognized under MacOS 15 beta 5.
In my case, on accessibility -> keyboard -> keyboard settings -> input sources, all keyboards are showing a key between "Z" and left Shift, which is not the case. And this key, should be under "esc".

I had a post in the forums explaining this problem and its solution but someone more concerned with which version of the software was used than whether the post addressed a problem removed it. So I'm posting it here again so the next time someone has this problem they can find it (hopefully).
If Apple took its UX development as seriously as they do their curation of forums posts this would be a non-issue.
Original post:
No matter what I do, the Mail app continues to send the wrong name when I reply to an email. This is incredibly frustrating and I'm hoping someone can suggest something I haven't already tried.
What I've tried so far:
Contacts
I've edited my contact card to not have the wrong name anywhere. Notably, searching for the wrong name still brings up my contact card. Even though it doesn't show in any fields.
Mail settings
I've gone into Settings->Mail->Accounts and ensured the Name field has only the correct name.
iCloud settings
I've gone to icloud.com, opened the Mail app, and clicked the gear icon to bring up settings. The right name is listed there.
I'm pulling my hair out trying to find where this name is hidden. I would rather it not add any name to my email From line if it can't use the correct one.
Solution: in Settings->Mail app->Accounts, make sure you actually enter your name in the fields. If your contact name is there but it's grey, indicating it was the default, this may not be used.
Note: I'm putting this under Accessibility and Inclusion because making it difficult or hidden to change your name on email could end up deadnaming someone. Which is not cool. It's bad enough y'all make given name and surname required fields when not everyone in the world uses a surname.
on iPad 13'', on beta, I activated voiceover and now I cant unlock my iPad. as soon as I touch it, it started telling me the time and tells me to slide up but it doesn't do it. Does not ask for pin either
I installed the update last night on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and since then my phone won’t let me press certain apps, freezes, dies faster, and gets really hot. I really regret updating My phone please fix this as soon as possible.
Hello there
I recently upgraded my iPhone 15 to ios 18 public beta which led to battery drain issues even during overnight around 10-15%. Besides this I am facing heating while just clicking photos in broad daylight

Hi! as a sign language user, I send videos often because it is often the prefered way of communication with Deaf people, especially with international persons in my network.
And .... I want to ask is there a way to send longer videos rather than putting in time to cut the videos according to the time limit and then send a series of videos. Wish we could send messages up to 10 minutes.
Or can you tell me that there's another method that I may be missing or an APP that you would recommend for my iphone.
Thank you
Hello, I am trying to add an accessibility label and hint to a SwiftUI sheet's drag indicator but am not having any luck. Currently, VO reads 'sheet grabber, button, double tap to expand the sheet'. I'd really like VO to also include the current height of the sheet (similar to Apple Maps sheet). Does anyone by chance know how I can target the drag indicator/sheet grabber to do this? Thanks in advance.

Why am I unable to install the Brave browser on my Mac running macOS 10.15 beta? I've followed the installation instructions but keep encountering issues. Could there be compatibility problems with the beta version, or are there specific steps I need to take to successfully install the browser?
I have done federated authentication with MS Entra through ABM.
It has not been 60 days since then, but I cannot log in with my existing domain account (personal account).
I understand that I can log in with my existing domain account even though the "Apple ID update" notification appears for 60 days. (Automatic domain change after 60 days)
We are currently forcing an update.
How can I 1) log in with my existing domain account or 2) bring forward the "automatic domain change"?
CarPlay touch screen not responsive on some Apps Especially TomTom Google maps Music app and others. not sure what’s gone wrong but needs Sorted and quick
I apologize for any possible mistakes, English is not my native language.
When I activated the Voice Commands(AccessibilityUIServer) function, I realized that this was not what I needed and decided to log out. However, I noticed that the function constantly uses the microphone and does not allow you to turn down the volume. I tried to turn it off, but I couldn't find the appropriate switch.
To solve this problem, I added a command to turn off the function. After that, the switch appeared.
Please add the option to disable the "Voice Commands" function.
Both my 15 pro max n macbook air are on latest betas, and screen mirroring gets connected to my phone but I can't see my apps or anything. It's a blank blurr screen. Even though I can see the notifications, but no mirroring of apps or any other feature
when I log into my developer account (AGV GROUP) developer.apple.com, under my apple id, which successfully opens a connect account, I don’t see my organization - AGV GROUP in the right top menu in the list, I see only those in which I have membership and other organizations - SANZHIRA, the question is where did my account go? and how to restore access to it? in the screenshots I showed that my account is visible in connect and feedback, but it is not visible in developer.apple.com, therefore I cannot renew my subscription developer program and manage even certificates and keys.
Hi when I try to login to apple connect I get Compliance Screening and after trying to upload my passport and info I get "An error has occurred. Try again later."
Hello,
I would like to make it possible for keyboard-only users to select the next and previous month buttons in a UIDatePicker, to prevent confusion due to having interactive images in my app which are not interactable with a keyboard.
The official documentation only says that the UIDatePicker component is accessible by default, and does not offer information on how to customize the keyboard navigation.
Is this possible?
As disabled man, I find it how to use my iPhone on the Mac. The reason pain is that you have to use a physical keyboard to type messages on your phone. I would like a way where you get over in a grade at the accessible keyboard could do the typing or you could get the iPhone keyboard to pop up whilst mirroring to the computer. I would really like to see this in the next update so we are disabled community can use the iPhone Mirroring to its fullest potential.
Hello everyone,
I own a MacBook Air M1, have installed beta 2, since then the memory of the disc is full after logging in. Unfortunately, I can't update to the current beta 4 because it takes too long to download and install.
What is the best way to solve the problem? Can something be switched off so that the volume does not fill up completely?
Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards and have a nice day.
Issue with brightness post IOS 18 Beta 4 update. When phone is locked and when you unlock it, brightness remains low and it takes 4-5 seconds or sometime more to get to normal.
