    Considering i9 MBP - Reinstall and Disable APFS?

    Well, despite my better judgement I'm considering the i9 MBP. The reports I'm seeing from Logic users are a lot more significant than I expected... Anyway, I've been on 10.12 for a few years now and haven't gone near 10.13. After some reading, it would seem that there's some rationale behind...

    Cannot format new external drive

    I have tried to reformat a new WD 4TB external USB - it arrived NTFS (shocker). I at first tried to reformat the drive to AFPS, and that failed. The drive wouldn't even mount, and only appeared grayed out in Disk Utility (as disk4 - I have 3 mounted). Then I tried to reformat it JHFS+, that...

    Transfer files from HFS+ to EXFAT

    Hello, I have a Macbook Pro and just got a new PC to use at home. I transferred photos from an external HFS+ HDD (HDD1) to an external EXFAT HDD (HDD2). The idea is to reformat HDD1 as NTFS, shuck it, and place it into the PC. However there are some discrepancies between the two drives that are...

    Article from carbon copy cloner: https://bombich.com/blog/2017/09/29/think-twice-before-encrypting-your-hfs-volumes-on-high-sierra This was a surprise to me so thought i'd share: CCC discovered if you encrypt your HFS+ formatted drive in High Sierra it will convert it to APFS without telling...

    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...

    Question - a laptop and an iMac, APFS and HFS+, iCloud

    I hope someone here may be able to answer this. I am using a MacBook (2016) and an iMac (2015). Of course the MacBook has a solid state drive, and would be converted to APFS on upgrading to High Sierra. That machine hasn't been upgraded yet. The iMac has a fusion drive, and remains HFS+...

    10.13: Convert HDD from HFS+ to APFS

    Greetings! How do you convert an HDD over to APFS after upgrade? I have a single, standard SATA hard drive in my 2011 MBPro, and of course the in-place upgrade to High Sierra did not auto-convert it over to APFS. I went to Disk Utility, but the "Convert to APFS" was grayed-out (unusable). I...

    Question about HFS+ and AFPS - two computers, one SS, one Fusion Drive

    Hopefully someone here may be able to answer this. I have a MacBook with a solid state drive. It has not been upgraded to High Sierra yet. My understanding is that the upgrade will change the file system from HFS+ to AFPS. I also use a late 2015 iMac, with a fusion drive. The upgrade does not...

    Disabling Journalling for external drive

    I'm trying to attach a usb flash drive to our modem/router (some Technicolor monstrosity our ISP insists on) for sharing files between my mac and my mother's. To attach storage, the external drive needs to be formatted to Mac OS Extended/HFS+ (Not Journaled), but Disk Utility does not allow...

    Preventing Windows from mounting drives?

    I have a problem with Windows 10 mounting some of my external drives (formatted as HFS+ journaled). Apparently, it does occassionally write to these drives. and this confuses the hell out of time machine when I return to MacOSX. And of course, I'd rather not mount my backup disk at all. Is...

    macOS Sierra with new File System? Resize Partition

    I heard that the new macOS Sierra has a new File System? Is that true? Not the Not the HFS+ anymore. But after installation of macOS Sierra, there seems to be just HFS+ as usual. Shows "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Hared that is should be easy to extend an existing partition. But how?
