    Core Storage encrypted startup volume, upgraded to 17A264c from a pre-release build of 10.12.6. External hard disk drive, limited to USB 2.0 with a MacBookPro8,2.

    APFS Encryption

    I am curious to know what kind of encryption is offered by APFS. Is hard disk encrypted by default? (If so, does it ask your password in the beginning while installing macos high sierra?) I have also heard that APFS supports single file or directory encryption. Has anyone tried it? How can we...

    APFS and Box.net file sharing?

    Anyone using BOX to collaborate that jumped onto the High Sierra bandwagon and can report results? Can I update to 10.13 and leave the filesystem as is and maybe then, convert to APFS on the fly? Thanks for your thoughts..

    Something Major Must Be in the Works for macOS 10.13

    Either Tim Cook's double down system is finally working or something else why there hasn't been much of a hint as what to really expect; except for 10.13 systems checking macrumors.com. With exception since 10.10, there hasn't been any major changes. Addition of Siri to Sierra is debatable, but...

    APFS formatting with iOS 10.3

    Hi. I want to update my iPhone SE and my iPad Air from iOS 10.2 to iOS 10.3. I'd like to perform a clean install, restoring each device, rather than installing the update and changing the filesystem with all the files and apps inside. So, i want to install iOS 10.3 from scratch. Do you think...

    APFS File system

    When the new APFS file system comes, will it support existing devices (eg. retina Macbook Pro, iPhone, iPad etc.) ? OR We will have to buy the new devices to use APFS File System? I am thinking of buying a new rMBP, but I am not sure, if it will become obsolete 1 year after, since it cannot...
