high sierra

I've had my mac set to sleep my display ever since I got my first iMac - this let me keep my iMac running so my webserver was accessible from elsewhere without keeping the screen illuminated when it wasn't being actively used in person. Normally I had the lower right and left hot corners set to...

I have a mid 2010 MacBook white unibody that is stuck on the boot screen. It would do this intermittently when I first upgraded to High Sierra, but not every time I reboot it stays stuck. It has 4gb RAM. I was needing suggestions for fixing this. I have heard some say upgrading the memory to...

My classic Mac Pro eight core (5,1 flashed) running 10.13.6 and with Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad had been running fine until a few days ago, when it started failing to wake up from sleep. Just prior to my noticing this, it displayed another, possibly related, anomalous behavior upon...

Hey there. I've recently upgraded my old early 2011 Macbook Pro 15" with a Samsung SSD, in order to breathe new life into the machine. It's definitely more usable, but I'm still getting pretty bad UI lag, most noticeably on the Dock's magnification effect and with scrolling in...

Hi, Would greatly appreciate any help with this: I'm using High Sierra 10.13.6 on a 2013 Macbook Pro. Spotlight is not working as it should do: whenever I search for a file it doesn't find it. These are non-library files, just standing pages documents and pdf documents that are on the desktop...

tl;dr Disk Utility info on my main disk says 'Bootable: No'. Is that a problem? Is it a problem I can fix? So I upgraded my Mac Mini to a 1TB SSD, like so many people do. Because the Mini was basically dead when I did the upgrade (the fusion drive had been slowly failing for weeks), the only...

Mouse lags for a split-second every few seconds - this happens not only when the mouse cursor is on the monitor desktop, but also when on Macbook's display when HP Z43 is connected. (please see the video above to better describe what's actually happening) Macbook Pro 15'' 2017 directly...

Hi, I faced an issue on High Sierra that seems to be similar to problems reported in other threads months or years ago such as White screen of death, Safari does not render pages, but it is slightly different. For some obscure reason any web content on my MacBook turned into white screen. By web...

Hello! I would appreciate any help with getting my iMac to boot faster and thank you in advance for any advice. I upgraded my iMac to High Sierra and since then there is a loading bar under the logo that takes 10-15 minutes. Then after I login the desktop takes another 5-10 minutes to fully...

Hi, I'm running an iMac 27" Late 2009 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 on macOS High Sierra. My wife's internet kept dropping earlier today and now won't connect at all. It works on our iPhones, MacBook Pros and on my user account on the iMac, but not her user account on the iMac. I have reset the...

Trying to update my system and it keeps crashing. Tried reinstalling with the whole "command R" thing and it doesn't work. I looked at the "error log" and I see the following, but I don't know what it means: "Cannot connect to /var/run/systemkeychaincheck.socket: No such file or directory"...

Looking to purchase a new, just announced, 2018 Macbook Pro, but am wondering about compatible OS. Comes preloaded with High Sierra, but given certain software we're still running, we would like to downgrade to Sierra OS. We've done this on 2017 machines, just wondering if the new machines can...

Hi I've been using MacBook pros and Time Machine for years, but luckily never had a drive fail. I'm in the process of getting bigger back up drives and a new setup so I ha da few questions. I backup to two separate 2tb HDD's which backup up my 1tb internal SSD regularly. I wondered what would...

Prior to upgrading to iCloud Messages, I could select specific parts of text messages in Messages on my Mac, and copy them. Now, I can only select and copy the entire message. This is very inconvenient. I have 2-factor authentication set up for many of my online accounts, so I often receive...

I have bot a Mac Mini (High Sierra) and an iPad (iOS 12). I also have a business which means I have to have my computer with me when I travel. But here's the thing: would much either use my iOS on the road and leave the Mini and the two wide screens at home. In order to do this, I need to...

Hi, I'm a freelance video editor and I'm currently working on a production that uses FCP 7 (Yes... you read that right). I have FCP 7 on my early 2008 Mac Pro, but I bought a new iMac Pro earlier this year and would like to use it for this job. We all know that FCP 7 is now obsolete with High...

Hi all So first post... I've a Mac Pro 2012 5.1 that works perfectly when running Sierra with the Nvidia web and CUDA drivers. Thought I'd try to upgrade to High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65) from the latest build of Sierra, not sure build though sorry, although let's just say that the driver and card...

Hi All, I'm in the process of adding config profiles on all our student iMacs at my school, with the main aim to prevent them from looking at/accessing Keychain Access, Terminal and the App store. I created the config profile using Profile Manager in Server Version 5.1.5 and I've added...
