The first thing you need to do is to have an active Apple Music subscription. Then, the transfers can be done through a web browser at music.apple.com.

• On your web browser and go to https://music.apple.com
• Click Sign In and sign in with the Apple Account you use for Apple Music
• Click your photo or monogram in the top right-hand corner, then select Transfer Music
• Choose what you want to transfer
• Tap Add to Library
• Wait for Apple Music to find matches for your music in the Apple Music catalogue

After this process has been completed, you’ll see one of the following messages in the bottom of the sidebar:

Transfer Complete: Apple Music found matches for the music in the Apple Music catalogue and added the music to your library.

Some Music Needs Review: Apple Music didn’t find an exact match but found similar alternative versions for the music. Tap Review Now, choose an alternative version, then tap Save to add the music to your library.

Apple says that there may be some differences between its music library and its competitors’, so users have “30 days from the initial transfer to review unmatched music and choose from alternate versions to add to your music library.”
The company also notes that the tool only works for playlists created by the user, rather than also for playlists created by the platform from which the user is migrating.

To transfer to Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, or Android:

• Go to Music Settings:

On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Apps > Music

On an Android device, open the Apple Music app, tap the More button, then tap Settings

• Tap Transfer Music from Other Music Services
• Choose from the list of supported music services and sign in to the music service
• Choose what you want to transfer
• Tap Add to Library
• Wait for Apple Music to find matches for your music in the Apple Music catalogue

Liquid Glass

macOS Tahoe has a new design. Buttons, navigation bars, widgets, the Dock, menus, side bars, and more all have a more translucent look that reflects the background underneath and refracts light. There are new icon options, including tinted and entirely clear.

Customizable Control Center

You can rearrange the Control Center in macOS Tahoe, putting what you access most often front and center. You're also able to use multiple Control Center pages, and add third-party app controls.

Customizable Menu Bar

You can also rearrange the Menu Bar, plus add Control Center controls to it. Live Activities from the iPhone will also show up in the Menu Bar now through ‌iPhone‌ Mirroring.

Spotlight Redesign

Spotlight is very different in macOS Tahoe, and it might take some getting used to. There's no more Launchpad, because the new Spotlight functionality has replaced it. There are four main Spotlight options to access apps, files, complete actions, and access the Clipboard History.

Clipboard

Spotlight now saves what you copy and paste, so you have a log of what you've been doing that you can go back and reference. You can see your entire history for the day, but it is limited to 24 hours.

Spotlight Actions

You can use Spotlight Actions to do all kinds of things without opening an app. You can send texts, emails, create shortcuts for features in apps, set timers, create Calendar events, make reminders, and much more, plus there's integration with the Shortcuts app to take things even further. There are quick access phrases you can assign to launch tasks quickly, like CH for bringing up ChatGPT.

Folder Customization

You can assign colors to folders, and also add an emoji or character to help you better organize your files. Folders get a color tag, which is a useful way to group things together.

Widgets

You can move widgets from the Notification Center to the desktop for quicker access. This works with widgets from Apple apps and from third-party apps.

Shortcuts

The macOS Shortcuts app supports creating automations. You can make Shortcuts that run at a specific time of day, with a trigger action, when an accessory connects, when an action in an app takes place, when the battery drains to a certain level, when activating a Focus mode, and more. It's super powerful when paired with Spotlight's new functionality.

Phone App

Apple brought the Phone app to the Mac, so you can make calls, accept calls, and use features like Hold Assist and Call Screening. You still need a connected ‌iPhone‌ with Wi-Fi Assist turned on.

Journal App

The Journal app is new to the Mac, and it makes a lot of sense on a platform that has a full keyboard. It works just like the iOS version of the app, but there are also some added features like the option to create multiple journals.

Games App

The Games app is also new to the Mac. It's a cross-platform app that aggregates Mac App Store games and Apple Arcade games with your own games library, plus it provides options for playing with friends. There's a new Game Overlay that lets you adjust game settings and connect with friends without exiting the game, and if you're on battery, there's a Low Power Mode so you can play longer.

Make sure you have the following:

Lightning cable: You will need it to establish a wired connection between your Mac and the Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse. You will also need a USB hub if the Lightning cable has a USB-A port on one end and your Mac only has USB-C ports.

Wired keyboard or mouse: Since your wireless Magic accessories are not working, you will need to directly plug in a wired keyboard or mouse to navigate around your Mac. Of course, you don’t need these if you are troubleshooting the connection issue on your MacBook.

Fix Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse not working when you power on your Mac.

After you switch on your MacBook, its built-in trackpad and keyboard are ready to use the moment you see the Lock Screen. However, when you boot up your desktop Mac, it takes a moment for the wireless Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse to become available for use. When you enter the password and go to the Desktop, you will again have a brief moment of downtime until the accessories starts working.

Both these short connection wait times are a normal occurrence. However, if your Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse are not connecting automatically to your desktop Mac and you have waited for a while, just connect them with a Lightning cable, and it should become available for use. Leave your Magic accessory connected to your Mac via a cable for a minute or two. After that, you can disconnect the cable, and the accessory will continue to work wirelessly. You can also force your Mac to shut down using its power button, wait for a while, and then power it back on. It should auto-connect to your Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse.

What to do if your Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse has suddenly stopped working?

In rare cases, your keyboard, trackpad, or mouse may stop working midway after losing connection or going out of battery. Here are all the effective tips to fix it.

Plug the accessories. If you get an alert when your Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse battery gets critically low, simply connect it to your Mac with a cable, and you can start using it. You can check the battery percentage of it by going to the Bluetooth section in macOS Control Center or using the Batteries widget.

Restart your Magic accessory. Turn off your Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse using the small power button and wait for at least 30 seconds. After that, flip the switch back on and wait once again for it to connect automatically to your Mac. Of course, make sure your Mac’s Bluetooth is enabled in Apple menu > System Settings... In case auto-connect doesn’t work, connect it manually from Apple menu > System Settings... > Bluetooth.

Restart your Mac. Random glitches in macOS can cause all sorts of trouble, including issues between your Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, and Mouse. So, simply restart your Mac using the wired mouse, and hopefully, the problem will go away. You can also force your Mac to turn off by holding the power button for a few seconds until the screen goes black. After that, wait for about a minute, and then press the power button once to turn it back on.

Toggle Bluetooth off and on. You cannot turn off Bluetooth on your desktop Mac if the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad/Mouse are connected to it. So, connect a wired keyboard and mouse to your Mac and then go to System Settings to turn Bluetooth off and back on.

Forget the accessory and connect again. If the problem continues, you should forget the Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse from Mac’s Bluetooth settings and then reconnect it. Grab your Lightning cable and follow these detailed steps on your Mac with a wired keyboard and mouse connected to it:

• Open Apple menu > System Settings... and select Bluetooth
• Click the info button (i) next to your Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse and hit Forget This Device > Forget Device
• Turn off your Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse using its power switch, and then restart your Mac
• Lastly, turn on your Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse and go to Apple menu > System Settings... > Bluetooth to connect it to your Mac

This step should address connection issues, and now your Magic accessory will work as intended.

Also, don't forget to update your Mac. If your Mac is not running the latest version of macOS, go to Apple menu>  System Settings... > General > Software Update to download and install the newest version of the operating system.

Problems with content blockers are particularly common with finance and banking sites, wi-fi captive portals, and video sharing sites, so you may find yourself wanting to disable content blockers for a specific site as you browse the web in Safari on your Mac.

It’s not unusual to need to disable content blockers for certain websites to work properly, so here’s how to do that:

• Navigate to the site you want to disable content blockers for in Safari on the Mac
• After the webpage has loaded, right-click on the website URL in the address bar, and choose “Settings for DomainName.com”
• Uncheck the box next to “Enable content blockers” to disable content blockers for this particular domain
• Refresh the webpage, and content blockers will now be disabled

Notice that you can even change other settings for a specific website in the same popup window.

With the content blockers disabled, the website should now load and function as intended. There are also sites that you choose to not run content blockers on for other reasons, maybe so they function properly, maybe to support them, or maybe to even load them at all, since there are some examples where content blockers prevent a site from accessible at all.
