    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.

    I am hoping someone in the forum has experience of when Apple coordinates the pre-installation of a new OS with iMacs purchased through Apple's Store online. That is, when will iMacs configured through the online store come with High Sierra pre-installed? The day of the OS release? A couple...
