VMWare in 10.13 has been incredibly buggy for me. I’m close to just carrying around multiple laptops.

Is APSF working for fusion drive macs yet? I was finally able to get High Sierra but it didn’t give me an option to switch. I tried doing it in recovery mode, but the convert option is greyed out. I just turned off file vault too.

Just didn't know if there was something I wasn't doing right. I had to wait forever to upgrade to HS and I just assumed it was because of my fusion drive. Did Apple just give up?

Why did you have to wait? A permanent "give up" is unlikely. They discussed Fusion Drive support features in their WWDC APFS sessions earlier this year (it's supposed to permanently store all APFS metadata on the SSD for performance), so the best guess is there's some edge case bug in either conversion or operation that they figured should not hold up High Sierra release.

If they can sell you a new Mac with a bigger SSD with an obscene markup, APFS for Fusion Drives is not a priority. Maybe that's massively cynical, but the fact that Boot Camp is broken as poo poo right now speaks volumes imo.

Although he said that they "plan to." A plan has a heckuva lot of wriggle room.

I'm gonna be sad once this old 4.1 gives up the ghost! I'd genuinely be interested to know what the sales numbers were as a percentage of total Macintosh revenue for the Mac Mini and Mac Pros back in the day. I've no doubt they were nowhere near the notebooks sales, revenues and profits. But were they that bad that leaving the Mini to languish and retooling the Mac Pro to be another G4 Cube failure were really the right moves to make? Perhaps I'm just one of those obsolete old farts who likes having a desktop machine and a laptop that fill totally different roles.

Maybe I was doing something wrong but I keep everything updated on the app store at least once a week. I even had a few security updates between the first release and when I was able to upgrade. I assumed it was held back because of the fusion issue.

Rubiks Pubes posted:We are in the middle of relocating so I have been staying in a hotel since I’ve already started my new job. I came home this weekend to pack and decided I probably needed to back up my laptop to our Time Capsule since it had been a while. I got an error message saying that to improve reliability it needed to create a new backup for me. Is there something that causes this to happen or was it because it had been about a month since I backed up last? Kind of annoying to lose years worth of backups. Honestly this really bugs me because it's a euphemism for "Whoops, we just noticed your backups are spontaneously hosed! Can we just start again from scratch?"

I've noticed that since the High Sierra upgrade a few weeks ago, every other day or so, TM decides it needs to back up the entirety of my now APFS SSD.

As far as I know, unless you’re in a managed environment at an organization that vets App Store upgrades, Apple does not “hold back” operating system updates. I updated my Fusion drive 2013 iMac on the first day.

I updated my Fusion drive 2013 iMac on the first day. It just wasn't pushing the upgrade in notifications I'm guessing. I had to search for the update on the App Store rather than seeing it show up in "updates" or seeing any prompts to update.

I haven't yet been able to update to High Sierra. My computer just won't connect to the server for some reason, wired or wireless. I just tried again and no luck. I've had problems with the App Store updates since I got this though.

It's been another solid year for my stay-at-home MBP (my alternate, secondary laptop), but I decided it should be restarted, for good measure, but not because I had too.

The most notable thing about the last three OSX updates is how painless they've been. Only issue I had with High Sierra is games from GOG.com that use Wineskin not working without a bit of fiddling. I mean Pro Tools 11 is also a mess but that's more because Avid are lazy greedy fucks.

My hope for the update process is speeding it up. Since they implemented SIP, updates take forever to install.

I still haven't updated, because I'm kind of nervous about the process of dealing with non-native video card stuff. I'll probably just throw the Radeon back in until the update is finished.

I waited till 10.13.1 to install High Sierra and unfortunately I've seen some bugs. Odd graphical glitches while playing Twitch videos full screen, and a couple times it's had the Window Server crash (which forces you to log out because that's the parent process to basically everything in your login session). In other words, the transition to Metal-based Window Server isn't going super smooth on my hardware (late 2013 rMBP 15"). Other than that, it's been mostly painless.

I've had a few worrying incidents over the past year on my 2014 MBP where it wouldn't wake up or it KP'd, so I'm kind of thinking one of these days I'll just blow it away and reinstall. It's been upgraded for three years now and there's so much crust from apps long gone that it's probably the easiest way clean it out now.

I'm not really a Mac guy, but I (consulting) just got passed a bunch of problems from a mac heavy business all related to MBPs only. The problems seem to be the USB drivers for various usb-c dongles (mostly ethernet - I've got a RTL8153 based one, but others reported too, could be the same chipset though) are getting corrupted. Therefore the dongles are being recognised upon plugging in, but the OS is not installing the correct drivers so they can't be used. Fun thing is that they (reportedly) used to be working. Anyone run into this at all? I've found the driver pkg, so I'll do a reinstall of them, just seems to be a weird issue.

Apple gets new programmers to redo the USB stack with every new OS, they spectacularly hosed up USB for El Capitan, ever since they've been a bit better. People who produce third-party USB networking adapters for Macs that use non-Broadcom chips include Realtek, MediaTek, Ralink (acquired by MediaTek) among others. Usually stuff like that can be resolved by going to the chipset vendor's website and praying they updated the drivers for the latest macOS.

After updating to High Sierra, I noticed that Logic Pro X’s custom icon dialog — which is supposed to just show images sorted by file name — was all out of order. A few other apps do the same thing. To test this I created a folder with duplicate files numbered sequentially and wrote an Automator script to generate a list, and this is what I got:code:

The order of files returned by some APIs is undefined, but some software incorrectly presumes it is sorted in whatever way, which is no longer the case in High Sierra, even for HFS+ allegedly.
