Well said jackluke, (as he can't unmount volume for Disk Utility to run) while in SUM along with your recommendations is;
˜/sbin/fsck -fy

Am I correct to assume that the MacPro 3,1 only has a single viable graphics card, the GTX 680, for running patched Mojave?
Thanks! You are amazingIt works great
One more question, how to format my drive in the future? APFS (encrypted) and when I do not have a password for FileVault2? (Deleting has fail)

Good question, I'm not sure of it on a Mojave APFS Encrypted Volume, but from your picture seems that you have booted from USB Mojave Installer and doesn't worked, I guess you should boot from a stock machine Internet Recovery or from any Recovery partition of another MacOS disk plugged in as internal (minimum HighSierra) making external the FileVaulted one, and you should be able to erase.

I could be mistaken, but Apple has been putting SSDs in their computers since 2012, thus also deprecating HDDs as well. I just was told from an Apple Support agent that APFS will be required for Mojave to run on it once it releases to the public. This does not mean that they are getting rid of HFS+, just that it won't be compatible with future OS, and will still be able to run on High Sierra and below, as long as time machine.
When I can afford it I found a app at Softpedia called launch control and found the SIGKill for HFS not getting the beta updates, found several core display, CoreColorsync and such that are unloaded for light mode and frameworks that also have SIGkills but don't have the money to turn them on

Has somebody experienced that system colors inverted blue. This happened when I changed monitor resolution and color profile. Does somebody know how to change again?
go to system preferences then display-color check show profiles if that doesn't work go to system preferences accessibility -display uncheck invert colors

First post on here so be gentle please
Im having issues (a) loading iTunes and (b) updating apps via the AppStore post my install. reading the various other posts would it be prudent to do a clean install using the new APFS hard drive formatting? Seems like then OTA updates are available.

While that may be true, they still have iMacs with HDDs inside (this is why Fusion Drive took so long to implement with APFS)...
There were a few blog posts from people who are familiar with file systems and all of them recommend that you use HFS+ instead if you are using HDDs.
Also the fact that external HDDs are not going to go away for a very long time, Apple will either:
a) Keep HFS+ in the format options under disk utility (or terminal)
b) Make APFS better suited for hard drives.
Currently APFS is pretty much good for only SSDs...and not HDDs. There is a performance drop on HDDs with APFS.
Also Time Machine is still here and 1TB SSDs are still quite expensive compared to HDDs.

Apple still has ways to go with APFS for HDDs.
Maybe they're fixing it under the hood, I don't know.
Agreed.
I know this is a sensitive point with many, but spin drives are simply going the way of the dodo... And APFS was designed from ground up for solid state drives. While the price per G may be competitive, it is just not in Apple's roadmap for new devices in the upcoming quarter century: thin, low weight, low latency, low power consumptions all points to solid state everything. In 10 years your computer may be a sheet of translucent plastic you can fold into your pocket - magnetic spin drives can't fit in that equation.
HFS is also as old as Methuselah. Served its purpose and has an illustrious ancestry (unix), but just not meant to handle the type of "big data" we are seeing and growing exponentially with AI and iOT in full swing now.
Sometimes, you just gotta let go...
HDDs are not going away any time soon...not only will they stay here for server purposes, but also on a consumer level for large data sets.
By the time 10TB SSDs drop down to $50, it will be a very long time...
The only reason Cupertino cares about HDD is to support the Fusion drives on the supported machines.
...Time Machine + External HDDs (Whether USB-C or USB-A + Dongle) are not going away any time soon. They know this. They will not dump HFS+ until APFS works well with spinning drives.
It's not only price. The largest server farms I've visited recently have either completely converted to SSD or are well on their way. My area is the largest internet and data center hub this country has to offer. I've seen endless rows of them...boggles the mind.
They are just experimenting with SSDs. No company is going to completely replace HDD data pools.
I think you're jumping the gun here and making excuses for Apple...
SSDs make great OS boot drives but they are not realistic for storing large amounts of data. Especially on a consumer level and even on data server levels.
[doublepost=1535503611][/doublepost]Question to anyone using MBP 2011 + Mojave...
After Effects CC2018 (latest) freezes for me since it's forced to use Intel HD....and I have issues with other Adobe apps.
Is anyone encountering similar issues?
I make no excuses for Apple. I'm their harshest critic (out of tough love) You're entitled to your opinion.
I'm simply stating what I see going on with big data and mobile devices (isn't that where all of this is going?)
[doublepost=1535504002][/doublepost]Back on topic...has anyone noticed anything radically new with dp9 (versus dp8) ?
Apple's release notes are (as usual) cryptic and uninformative.
I updated today and redid the post installation...it's much smoother than before overall. We're about 2 weeks away from official release, most likely will see one more beta (maybe 2?).
Hopefully a brilliant community member will figure out the lack of AMD support, but not holding my breath. I'll probably go back to High Sierra.
Yes...looks like a real maintenance release. Just internal bug fixes. I'm going to compare the distributed frameworks/libraries tonight. I ran my usual performance suite of Cinebench + Geekbench on this beta and nothing to holler about.
[doublepost=1535504509][/doublepost]@TimothyR734 - has the dp9 OpenGL framework shrunk even more? I'm away from my machine, so can't check...
[doublepost=1535504663][/doublepost]
On AMD support...have you checked the hackintosh forums?
[doublepost=1535504800][/doublepost]A very interesting link about Mojave Dark Mode implementation (high level but still some low level juicy bits) here.
openGL is about 76MB so no difference is size this time but quartz is down 20 mb Quartz in HS was 376 mb in Mohave down to 150MB IOAcclerator has shrunk
Yeah I'm very active on Hackintosh forums. Haven't seen anyone come up with a solution. I refuse to believe "Metal" isn't supported on these older GPUs.
I was thinking of making a thread about this on insanely Mac....
For those interested, I re-added the original APFS booting implementation back to the post-install tool (from High Sierra Patcher). Of course, be sure to deselect this if you have a machine that has been patched with APFS ROM Patcher. It will NOT be selected by default on systems that supported High Sierra natively, and have an official APFS-compatible BootROM from Apple.
