My macpro 3.1, AMD Radeon HD 7970, don´t wake up from sleepmode, black screen with os 10.13.1 again :-(
 
I tried the update on my MacPro 3.1 (SSD - APFS). My computer is stuck with the progression bar at 90%

Anybody have the same problem ?
 
I Updated through App Store to

MacOS High Sierra
Version 10.13.1 (17B48)

Currently safari not working.

App Store not loading either anymore

Mail is not loading content.
Starts up and my (7) email accounts are on line with incoming and outgoing mail
BUT new and old email displays zero content

iTunes not loading Store or Radio content
Yet internet radio is working

Firefox works so I can get on internet.

Late 2009 Mac Mini with NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB, if it matters.
SSD with APFS

Looking forward to the fix/resolution
Thank you

Updated mid 2009 iMac to 10.13.1 through the App Store. had to re-run a script to fix the screen brightness adjustment. iPhone X page still has the graphical glitch. Everything else works great.

10.13.1 is now officially out. Anyone do an in-place 10.13.1 update yet on an unsupported Mac? Hopefully we won't have to do an OS reinstall.

Unfortunately, the App Store shows "No Updates Available" for me on my MBP 5,5. I had this same problem with the original 10.13 not showing the Supplemental update. I had to do a reinstall of OS 10.13 that included the Supplemental Update.

Any thoughts of how I can get the App Store to show the available updates?

When I first checked on an unsupported iMac the app store sad no updates available. I closed the app store and re-opened it a few minutes later and .1, iTunes, and safari updates showed up.

Not working for me. But I'll keep trying. Thanks for the suggestion.

On my MBP5,5 it initially said that, so I just clicked on the Updates icon a couple of times and it eventually showed up.

I now have my MB5,1 and MBP5,5 both updated to 10.13.1 High Sierra and they both work fine. Boot times are fast, Safari and the App Store both work. The MB5,1's TRIM remained enabled. I noticed my MBP5,5's TRIM had been disabled, but I'm not sure if that happened with the update or happened before, but using "sudo trimforce enable" worked fine.

Interestingly, with the MB5,1 after installation upon reboot it asked me again whether or not to share analytics with Apple like with an initial setup. With my MPB5,5 it did not ask me. Similarly, with my fully supported MacBook10,1 it asked about the analytics like a new setup, but with my supported iMac18,3 it did not.

Edit:

In case it matters, both my MacBook5,1 and my MacBookPro5,5 are HFS+.

I updates to 10.13.1 but now my backlit doesn't work anymore :( I also can't see a recovery partition. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling 10.13.1 from a usb stick? I had this problem with Sierra before, after a normal update, the backlit keyboard didn't work anymore.

I have a MacBook Pro 4,1

Clear software update catalog. Public Beta 5 is the same as the final version of 10.13.1. (run "sudo softwareupdate --clear-catalog" in Terminal).

Mac Pro 3,1, AMD Radeon HD 7950.

10.13.1 installed fine and rebooted. Got a gray screen, and it stayed there.

Reapplied graphics drivers in post install, and it fired up as usual.

Only had red bug in Preview before, and it is now gone.

But now Metal seems disabled. Motion is jerky in general.

Photoshop says: "3D features and some filters (Flame/Tree/Picture Frame) require a minimum of 512MB of vRAM. Photoshop has detected less than that on your system. Updating the driver of your graphics card may resolve the issue."

Photoshop does not detect any graphics card.

System report lists the card. PCI information lists two instances of AMD Radeon HD 7950. Type "Display Controller" says driver is loaded, type "ATY,HamachiParent" says driver is not loaded.

Any clues?
