Since migrating to OSX Sequoia I noticed things vanishing, one of them was the WAVES instruction to remove and install from the sister site, I then noticed many deep singing images not shown up in notes where I saved them about installing, deep singing etc, forums like this and others who advised work arounds issues with Mac interfaces.

Has anyone else experienced this type of intrusive behaviour by Waves or other manufactures removing information on how to install, deal with deep singing etc? is this some type of malware, I had a waves folder with at least 45 noted about every plug they have, even videos and all of this vanished along with other sister site with advise here I copied notes to install on both Mac and windows platforms., months later all vanished from my apple notes!

 

Sounds bad. Time to investigate on better security for your Mac

 

Blimey if i understand what it is that you are saying, deep singing images ?

 

It seems that you have experienced several issues with disappeared data after updating to macOS Sequoia (also known as macOS 15). Here is a summary of the situation and possible explanations:

Disappeared Notes and Images

- After updating to macOS Sequoia, notes and images, especially related to WAVES plugins and Deep Singing, have disappeared from your Apple Notes app.

- This could be due to syncing issues with iCloud. Sometimes iCloud syncing can cause content to temporarily not appear.
- It is unlikely to be malware or intentional removal of information by manufacturers. Such practices would be highly unethical and illegal.

Potential Causes and Solutions

- iCloud syncing: Temporarily disable iCloud syncing for Notes and then enable it again. This could help recover disappeared content.

- Recently deleted notes: Check the Recently Deleted folder in the Notes app. Your notes may have been accidentally deleted and can be recovered.

- Finder preferences: Change Finder preferences to reveal potentially hidden files.
- Time Machine backup: If available, restore your notes from a Time Machine backup.

General macOS Sequoia issues

- There have been some reported issues with macOS Sequoia, particularly related to keyword searches and locating files. This could explain why you're having trouble finding certain content.

Recommendations

- Contact Apple Support for specific help recovering your notes.
- Make regular backups of your important data to avoid future data loss.
- Check your Notes app settings and iCloud sync to make sure everything is configured correctly.
- Keep an eye on official macOS Sequoia update information and bug fixes, as future updates may address these issues.

It is important to emphasize that the disappearance of your notes is most likely due to technical issues related to the operating system update and not deliberate removal by software manufacturers.

 

Tried to search for "deep singing image" just to see if it was something software related that I've never heard of, but I only get links to AI image generators and stock photo sites.

EDIT: found a deep-learning vocal synthesis tool from Microsoft called DeepSinger, but it looks like it's mostly a research project and not an actual service that anyone can use

as radio the AI stated above, its likely a cloud issue. there is no way waves or any other company is deleting your stuff.

 

nice. another conspiracy theory to content farm and waste some text.


The --deep option for code signing on macOS can cause issues when signing complex products, says Apple.
Explanation

• The --deep option applies the same code-signing options to every code item it signs.
• For example, if an app has an embedded command-line tool that needs different entitlements, codesign --deep applies the same entitlements to both.
• codesign --deep only signs nested code if it's in specific locations in the top-level bundle.
• codesign --deep doesn't sign code if it's put in a place where codesign expects to find data.

Code signing on macOS

• Code signing is a macOS security technology that verifies that an app was created by you.
• You can obtain code signing certificates for macOS apps by purchasing a membership to the Apple Developer Program.
• Code signing has three core operations: sign code, display a code signature, and verify a code signature.

 

How should WAVES remove something from the sister site ?!

in the notes ? which notes ?

 

only notes that have terminal commands saved to copy and paste into the terminal vanished.
my apple notes has issues in the past that where suspect, like pages scattered all over outside folders during sync, no sync all kinds of issues but 99% of these seem to of been resolves in the last 6 months.

As for notes, we are talking over 25, I had specific notes decimated by developer in alphabetical order, inside these folders would contain a file of technical info like terminal commands, images as well from discussions people shared, all gone yet product info and other sorts remain.

 

I am no apple aficionado but it's my guess that is apple/apple os that is perpetrating that kind of behavior. Corporate owned and regulated malware.

 

Yeah cause Apple really gives a shit about little people like you that they'll go into your computer and only delete 'notes' with command line instructions..

If that were the case my entire Notes app would be empty. You either screwed something up yourself or you've got an issue syncing with iCloud as already mentioned.

 

no but they have AI to scan your information now which results in a conclusion that you have information that threats their monopoly.

Im a notes power user, 180GB of notes, photos videos folders in folders with collapsible sections inside notes, I have a huge collection of everything and its so interesting that even ChatGTP does know some of the info exists., I contacted Apple about this but pretended they where normal computer codes and they said it what caused it, adding maybe the codes was seen as harmful tags or corrupted data, that notes clears chase upon quitting and may of removed these notes, but thats crazy, why have this feature at all if clearing cache usually involved currently rendered data., Apple claims its a feature,. just like Final Cut Pro crashing is a feature, to save battery life or something, its not a surprise coming from them. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4599596?sortBy=rank notes auto delating is nothing new . but selective deleting is something new.
The big question is if AI is gathering info to take action with out our consent

 

If someone were to sue Apple for AI collecting information, Apple would lose the case and in the EU, for example, millions in fines would be due. Apple knows exactly what it can and cannot do. If it were as you describe, users from the Apple computer industry would have long since reported it and sued the company.

 

Oh JFC, like anything you've got could ever threaten a multi-billion-dollar giant like Apple. If you can't even pay for $30 plugins, WTF are you ever going to do to a company that could bury you and your entire existence in legal fees alone?

 

sounds like the windows feature where they made .nfo files "system info" files just to make it annoying for people who pirate software but hadn't changed their file associations
