    High Sierra Review on 2010 13" MBP

    Hi. This is a quick review of macOS 10.13.3 High Sierra (build 17D47) on a 13" MacBook Pro from 2010 (my old and loyal MacBook Pro, my main machine since I bought it almost eight years ago). My MacBook Pro has a MX100 256GB SSD and 8GB of memory RAM at 1067MHz. My impressions with macOS...

    Important if you buy a used MBP and replace the ssd

    I just got a 2015 13" 16gb RAM machine and put a 1T drive I had in it (it's very easy to do -- takes 5 minutes). Then, when I tried to boot up, it did not recognize the drive. I was worried about some sort of hardware inconsistency with the SSD, but finally realized that my SSD was formatted by...

    Kernel Panic at boot, and APFS not mountable in Utilities

    Hi all, I'm trying to fix a MacBook Pro which goes into an infinite loop of reboot. This laptop is not mine, and I do not know exactly what happened before. Also, I'm not a Mac user, so sorry if I miss some basic things... When turning the laptop on, the Apple logo and progress bar appear...

    APFS containers and cross-partition security

    I'm configuring a new Mac with three installations of 10.13. I've divided the SSD into three partitions within the same APFS container and installed 10.13 on each of them. All three installations are encrypted via FileVault. One of the installations in particular needs to be absolutely free...

    Just format to APFS encrypted? Instead of enabling FV later on?

    Hi, I want to clean install High Sierra. The last time I did it, i formatted to APFS and enabled FV after OS installation. Remaning time for encryption was 14 hours vs 20 minutes on Sierra! This time, if I just format to APFS encrypted during clean install, FV will be enabled from the start...

    Can I Double Encrypt APFS Volumes?

    So I'm looking at finally getting around to upgrading to High Sierra, which will mean converting my SSD partitions to APFS. Currently I have two partitions, one for macOS, applications and an administrator account, and another for all other user accounts, both partitions are encrypted. Now, my...

    Should I convert my external HDDs to APFS?

    I'm not worried about compatibility with Windows or older macOS. What I'm worried about is the fact that APFS is optimized for SSDs. So will APFS potentially make my HDDs unreliable or slower? What's your experience with APFS with traditional HDDs? Thanks!

    Now High Sierra can't find my SSD startup disk...but booting externally

    Super weird issue going on. Upgraded my 13" 2011 MBP with a Samsung 840 Pro SSD to High Sierra. (Automatically upgraded to APFS with TRIM enabled) Last night it wouldn't boot showing only a flashing folder/question mark. Did all of the usual stuff PRAM, Recovery Mode, repaired permissions, etc...

    How to see if I have a hint on my boot disk

    Hi all I've read all about the APFS encrypted volumes bug that displays your drive password as a hint, but what I haven't seen is anyway to determine if you're affected by the bug. In other words - I don't think I have a hint on my (encrypted) boot disk but can't be sure; how do I find out...

    Time Machine Missing Files and Discrepancies

    The bug where Time Machine fails to backup files that tmutil say are included, or fails to identify changed files, seems to be back in 10.13 High Sierra. The bug was introduced around 10.10, persisted through 10.11, was fixed in 10.12, and now seems to have regressed. Has anyone else done their...

    New macOS High Sierra vulnerability exposes the password of an encrypted APFS container

    “This week, Apple released the new macOS High Sierra with the new file system called APFS (Apple File System). It wasn’t long before I encountered issues with this update. Not a simple issue, but a potential vulnerability.” Give him this: at least he did report it to Apple before publishing...

    Dear MacRumors community, I have a question after upgrading to macOS High Sierra on my iMac. Before the upgrade on macOS Sierra there were around 20 gigabytes marked as "deleteable" on my Macintosh HD, because I have activated the iCloud option "Optimize Storage" in the Photos app (I use the...

    How do I create a case-insensitive disk?

    Got a new MBP, and upgraded to High Sierra on the first day. I formatted to APFS (Case-Sensitive + Encrypted). I wasn't sure which one to choose, so I just chose that one. I tried installing Adobe CC, but it can't be installed onto case-sensitive volumes. I'm not exactly competent in this stuff...
