high sierra

My 5,1 Mac Pro has an upgraded WiFi/BTLE card. Continuity is fully working with handoff and AirPlay on Sierra. I have noticed that although the General Preferences still shows the option enabled, it stops working after upgrading to High Sierra. Is it working for anybody else?

Why does restarting take forever? Is there any way to speed it up?

I decided to set up a Sierra boot SSD from a partial clone of my Sierra spinner and parking my main boot SSD with High Sierra beta 2. While using it, the system is stable as long as I do not use the USB 3 ports on the CalDigit FASTA cards. I can live with that. But the inability to sleep and 3...

Mac Pro 5,1 with one external drive hooked to the USB 3.0 port. Energy Saver settings puts the computer and display to sleep after 10 minutes; hard drives to sleep when possible; and wake for network access. I know this has been discussed in previous macOSs, but is the only solution to eject...

As the title says, I am searching for new apps to "buy" or "get" with the $40 in App Store credit I got this morning for Christmas. The only stipulation is that I am searching for apps that have iPhone and/or Apple Watch equivalents. Examples would include apps like Spark and Fantastical 2...

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...

I have a 15" MacBook Pro (late 2011) with a freshly formatted 500 GB (Mac OS Extended journal - GUID partition map) hard drive that I'm attempting to install High Sierra on that keeps running into an error at the end what seemingly looks/feels like a full install process. I downloaded High...

Hello ya'll, I recently got a 2008 Mac Pro at a E-Waste collection center for € 100, before I hear "It is broken". It isn't and works with its current install of Snow Leopard & Random Windows 10 HDD. Since Apple doesn't officially support this specific device anymore I used dosdude1's patcher...

I know it's deprecated, but I keep seeing people report "no problems" with MS Excel 2011 in High Sierra. It does seem to work fine for the most part, but it seems like I can no longer "save as" another format, like CSV, etc. That option is just plain missing in the Save dialog window. Does...

After dealing with this problem several years ago, I thought it had been left far behind. But I recently got a new Toshiba 3TB HD and hooked it up to my server running High Sierra (SSD, 16 GB RAM, 2012) Did not look closely at what Disk Utility was doing, but chose to initialize it in APFS as...

Hello all, I have been fighting this issue for a few days now with no luck so I thought I would seek out some advice... Issue: When I open Chrome it launches, but then I get the beach ball for 10 seconds or so and then it closes and tells me that it encountered an error and gives me the...

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) running High Sierra. It works just fine. I want to create a dual-boot situation where I can run Snow Leopard from a partitioned external drive when I choose (I want to use my old Adobe applications that won't run on Sierra). I own the original...

I’ve got the stock Nvidia GT 120 and an AMD RX 560 instated in my Mac Pro 4,1 (5,1 firmware) running High Sierra. I’ve got one screen plugged into the GT 120 and another plugged into the RX 560. Interestingly when I go to “About This Mac” the “Displays” tab shows both screen as connected to the...

I am setting up my home Macs, both High Sierra, (a 5'1 flashed late '09 Mac Pro with a 256 GB SSD and a late '16 MacBook Pro with 512GB SSD) to work together for my photography. I figure I can spare 50GB on both drives for working files which should be immediately accessible from both Macs. Can...

I'm running High Sierra on a classic Mac Pro, off a 256GB SSD and it's getting a little tight. A couple of HDDs in the Mac and external drives are used for working files and storage but even so, Downloads (I like to keep them in case I need to reinstall something) and Google Drive were taking up...

Hey folks, After downloading High Sierra 10.13.2 update, I still can't connect to my file sharing (NAS) server. I've tried the "File Sharing Fix" that Apple provided (sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC in Terminal), and that was ineffective for me. I've called Tech support twice. :( Help...
