    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...

    High Sierra Won't Unlock with Apple Watch

    After hearing that the Time Machine issue has been fixed in release 3, I tried the beta. And yes. That issue has been resolved for me. But does anyone know if "Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac" is also disabled or broken? I had it working just fine before the Beta. But after the Beta...

    What Happened To Hardware Acceleration in High Sierra?

    I read in some threads that VLC already supports hardware decode. Even a VLC developer said this. To me and to my specific usage, VLC is pure horses**t. It's the worst player being intensive resource hog that doesn't seem to think about battery at all. I found IINA and have been using it since...

    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...

    Mail Quits on Open After HS Upgrade

    Any thoughts on this? It appears to be user account as I logged into a different account and it launched and was fine. I tried holding shift and opening it and nothing. I also remove the plist file as well as the 2 folders in the container and it still quits upon opening.

    APFS not compatible with OWC SSDs

    Argh. I tried installing the public beta a few weeks ago and got a weird message about firmware verification failure and that I couldn't install it. I figured it would be fixed with the real release today. Nope! APFS doesn't play with some 3rd-party SSDs - apparently including my OWC 6G...

    System hosed?

    I upgraded to the High Sierra GM Candidate (from Sierra) a few days ago because I have always had good luck with GMs in the past. Unfortunately, I think this one has issues. After the upgrade completed, it never showed me the "Welcome" to High Sierra wizard and allowed me to login directly...

    Will High Sierra ship with the new MacBook Pro..?

    I was about to buy a MacBook Pro and thought it would be best to wait for High Sierra to come out. I understand that the OS is free but I figured it would be less hassle if it came shipped with the new Mac, so I don't mind waiting around till after 25th September but I have actually no idea if...

    High Sierra on SSDs in RAID0

    Hi everyone. I'm running a late 2012 Mac mini with two SSDs in RAID0, and was wondering if APFS will support this configuration upon installation. Reading up on the documentation for APFS it says it fully supports RAID, so I was just checking in someone here has tested this scenario. Thanks a lot.

    How is the performance and battery life of High Sierra on the Late 2013 rMBP

    I am currently using a late 2013 rMBP mid configuration on Sierra. Battery sa been so so (about 5 hours?) but performance has been better, almost as good as when it was new. Just wondering how is the battery and performance in the latest MacOS?
