macOS Doesn't Work Anymore

I scanned my sheet music to load onto an iPad. I scanned the cover in color, then scanned the pages in b&amp;w, then combined the two with Adobe Acrobat. Preview on MacOS reads these files fine, but the PDF viewer on iOS displays the cover page only. If I try to scroll into the music, it briefly flashes the page and then goes back to the cover page. After doing this about 5 times, it gives up and shows a black screen - won&#x27;t even display the cover page. My iPad is up-to-date.<p>Now I have around 350 books of music that I can&#x27;t view on an iPad. A lesson learned: when doing a large project like this, run some things all the way through the pipeline first to make sure it will work. I just assumed PDF viewing was not a big deal.

The actual headline: &quot;Can&#x27;t delete a note in PDF using Preview on macOS&quot;

It&#x27;s very annoying the amount of bugs and issues I encounter on my macbook and the official apple apps that come with it.<p>Same for iPhone 14 and 15 (me and wife), most bugged phones I&#x27;ve ever used, notification center is constantly broken on both, UI is inconsistent everywhere, super weird decisions like the calculator doesn&#x27;t have history or to scan a doc I have to use the notes app (wtf)<p>most expensive and worst software experience I&#x27;ve ever used

Small bug happens; &quot;Oh the whole things doesn&#x27;t work!&quot;<p>Alright chicken little, calm down.

I&#x27;ve been using Apple Mac&#x27;s since early 2000s-ish, iPhone and iPad since release. It seems to me like in the past 5ish years the amount of bugs and UI inconsistencies in iOS&#x2F;MacOS has increased. A few times I&#x27;ve wanted to start a blog cataloging all these things.<p>For example on iPad there is no redo button in the iWork apps. It took me a google to find out you have to press and hold the undo button to reveal the redo button. I admit this is a minor nuisance, but there was plenty of screen real estate to show that button.<p>The most significant bug I&#x27;ve been dealing with lately is with mobile Safari whereby it will just crash. There are a few ways this happens. The first is if I create a new tab, randomly I will get a blank page where nothing works which requires a force restart. Another way is if I press the back button, or navigate to a new page via tapping a link, safari will not load the page. The current page freezes. Again requiring a force restart.<p>iPad Pro supports an external monitor. This has been entirely unusable for me. Out of nowhere the video signal is lost. A few times shortly after that the iPad restarts. Additionally with external monitor mode one is forced to use Stage Manager which is entirely unusable without a proper touchpad. If you&#x27;re using a mouse good luck getting the stages to reveal themselves. I expected more from Apple who prides themselves on having the best UI&#x2F;UX.<p>A other issue is Apple has added the ability for iPad apps to have &quot;windows&quot;. This doesn&#x27;t work as expected. Many times I&#x27;ve created a window, worked on something else and return to safari to find no windows and all my tabs gone. I suspect it has something to do with closing the app.<p>My favorite bug on MacOS which I encounter sometimes is reconnecting to SMB shares. They randomly not reconnect after waking from sleep. A reboot fixes this. Although this could be an issue with the server.<p>Closing on a positive note- the one killer feature I miss when I&#x27;m working on Windows is Preview. It&#x27;s really a great app.
