    Dual boot macOS High Sierra

    Hi there, hoping someone might know. I have an iMac running macOS Sierra. I have tested it with the GM release of High Sierra, and found that most of my games got screwed up. I rolled the hole thing back with Time Machine. I would like to do another attempt, but this time, without actually...

    High Sierra kernel_task and WindowServer usage

    Since I've upgraded to Bug Sierra these two processes are always eating up my CPU and I can notice drop in frames when dragging windows around the screen. Of course, performance also takes a hit and doing tasks in various applications take 1-2 second longer. Main applications I use are Safari...

    OSX First Partition visible and not EFI after Cloning with OSX Installer tool

    Hi, I just tried to move my whole main drive partition (It was just 1 "usable" that I was aware of, with Mac OSX High Sierra) to a new Samsung EVO 850 1TB Harddrive. I had to initialise it and convert it to "GPT"-format with my Windows 10 Desktop, because the installer tool from High Sierra...

    WindowServer using serious amount of memory

    WindowServer is using a massive amount of memory, kernel_task is also using quite a bit though that might be on purpose. I was just streaming a video on youtube (about 1h of 1080p) so I don't know whether that has something to do with it. I noticed some lag but it disappeared when I closed the...

    Hard drive filled up after High Sierra upgrade on MacPro

    I had about 450GB of free space on my primary drive on Sierra. After the High Sierra upgrade it dropped to 150GB. I used OmniDiskSweeper and the files sum upto about 520GB. I have a 1TB SSD! Can't figure out what's eating the rest of the space. About the mac shows system files as 400GB. That's...

    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...

    Install Failed - Stuck in Loop

    Hello, I tried installing/updating from Sierra to High Sierra on our iMac (late 2009). The installation failed and indicated I needed to restart the iMac. When I restart, the same message is displayed. Thus, I appear to be stuck in a loop possibly without a valid or bootable OS. I was able to...

    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...
