Just added GarageBand 3rd party plugins (Audio units) to the not-working list. Shows an orange "!" over top of the name, and says it can't see any loaded plugin, even though it's in there...

Plugins don't work either in Garageband or Logic Pro (tried both.)

Hey, I’m just wondering if you figured out what was wrong with your plug-ins. I have pretty much the same problem (orange !) although my issues are with Tonebridge and FAC chorus inside Logic. I have a brand new iMac with the newest OS. Both of these plugins work on my MacBook Pro although they hang for a second with that orange ! but then it disappears. Any solutions?

No, unfortunately I was never able to figure out what was going on - I'm sure it's that some piece of software needs to be updated to be more compatible with High Sierra, because it worked great in Sierra itself...

At this point, I'm just running Tonebridge app along side of GB, and that works too...I don't have time to be figuring out what's wrong (especially since I'm not a programmer and nothing really I could do about it anyway...), and I like the new features in High Sierra, so I don't want to downgrade again.

Yesterday I reached out to the developer of FAC Chorus which like Tonebridge had been giving me the problem. He promptly responded with this:

Hi thx for your returns. Check your settings as mentioned in the App Store the required versions are: macOS Sierra 10.12.6, LPX 10.3.2 or GB 10.2.0 But I'm aware about the issue on some system and this is related to the way AuV3 is supported in LPX not FAC Chorus itself. I and another company (who are experiencing same issues) are working on a workaround... but it's not easy. And to be honest I've been busy a lot with Maxima (a new fx). I'll take some vacation and then I'll do my best to ensure Apple take the issue into account. I guess they haven't finished the AuV3 support in macOS :s I'm sorry that you can not use the app in some configuration. I let you know as soon as I have news. Fred

Doesn't help much, but hopefully there will a resolution in the near future.

So it looks like 10.13 is the issue, he just needs to update it to be compatible. At least the app still works, even if it's not a plugin, it's just a little more convenient that way...

I figured out a way to get Tonebridge to work as an AU inside logic pro. The problem does seem to be only a problem with the Mac High Sierra OS. To get around it you go to preferences, plug-in manager, and then click the box (AU3 Mode) that corresponds to the Tonebridge plug-in. Apparently it is not clicked by default. Hope this helps. It worked for me.

I use Lightroom for photo editing - i have an early Lightroom 5 (5.0). It is my only concern whether to install the new MacOS? Will it work?

‡ Scrivener 2.8.1: Keith Blount (the developer of Scrivener) has said that Sierra *might* be the last version of macOS to run Scrivener 2.8.x, so it *might* never run on High Sierra.

Some members (e.g., cdcastillo) report the 2.8.1.2 DOES work on High Sierra

Scrivener 3 for macOS is ready for release (and has been since April 2017), but it is being held up by the wait to launch a compatible version of Scrivener 3 for Windows.

Filemaker Pro 12 through 14 won't work properly with HS, only ver. 15 & 16 work properly.
I needed to upgrade from FMP12 as it was crashing as soon as I tried to open a .fmp file.
Sometimes it would open the file only to then crash later.

Hey, got any info on Cubase 7.5??

thanks

I confirmed that the following pro-audio applications work on macOS High Sierra:

Steinberg Cubase Elements 9 (I guess Cubase Pro 9 should work, too.)
PreSonus Studio One 3.5.1.43560
AVID Sibelius 8.
Prologue Sforzando.
MakeMusic Aria Player.

Note that Steinberg Dorico 1.1.10.202 may need Metal Implementation to improve UI responsiveness under HiDPI mode. Also sometimes its audio engine just stop working and needs system reboot. However, these issues are not related to specific macOS versions. Thus I guess Dorico is compatible to macOS High Sierra, too.

As recently as last week I plugged one of my USB flash drives into my USB port on my MacBook (running High Sierra), it was business as usual and I could access my work files on the USB drive.

Today however, I plugged it in and it doesn't show the same icon and the eject button in the finder window. When I click on the USB title it says "USB can't be opened as the original item can't be found". Am I missing something here?

3 things to try: reboot. reset the power manager (google for your particular mac), reset nvram... but i'd try just a reboot first, see if that fixes it...

The reboot worked and now I feel dumb. Thank you for the help!

‡ Scrivener 2.8.1: Keith Blount (the developer of Scrivener) has said that Sierra *might* be the last version of macOS to run Scrivener 2.8.x, so it *might* never run on High Sierra.

Some members (e.g., cdcastillo) report the 2.8.1.2 DOES work on High Sierra

[doublepost=1516997485][/doublepost]Something weird is happening with my Photoshop CS5. It was working well with Sierra and when I upgraded to High Sierra it started crashing when quitting. I can still use it but every time I close it, I get a crash notice. Makes me crazy. Can't afford to get PS CC. I wonder if I keep on using it that it won't clear cashes etc when I close, further clogging up my computer. Anyone else having the same problem or know of a workaround? Thanks

Anyone have issues with the app switcher (Command Tab shortcut) in 10.13.2? It doesn't work for me and is very irritating.

WOW ! I just managed to get my 16 year old Canon A3 format B/W ( LBP-1610 ) laser printer ( non postscript ) printing in the last High Sierra Beta 17A360a.

I bought this printer in Feb. 2001 in Japan ( I live in Japan ) it has been a real workhorse for my English school here.

Canon sells replacement cartridges for ¥29,490 ( US $263 ! ) . . but in the past 16 years I have only bought one one recycled cartridge for around US $50 and I get toner shipped from the US which comes with a handy tool to burn a hole in the cartridge to add toner - the toner package comes with a nice plug for the hole too.

The first time I ever used this printer was in Mac OS 9.2.2 !

In Mavericks 10.9.5 I discovered by accident and despair that an old, original Canon original driver for Leopard 10.5 allows installation in Mavericks ( and High Sierra ) and actually works perfectly without any hacking at all. Not so in any OS X release higher than Mavericks.

I scoured the internet and came up with this solution but bear in mind that you must FIRST have a printer driver that will allow you to install it in High Sierra. ( I'm using a driver designed for Leopard in High Sierra ! ).

My solution for my Laser printer

============================
1. DELETE the currently installed printer from System Prefs/ Printers

2. Re-install the driver but do not yet add it to your available printers list.
Disconnect the printer's USB cable.

3. Repair permissions up to OS X Mavericks ( Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra and High Sierra do not have “Repair Permissions “ in Disk Utility ) .

4. Start Terminal and enter these commands

sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'

and . . .

sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd

5. Connect the printer and NOW “ADD” the printer to your available printers list.

Good luck.

=============================
Obviously the solution involves changing the way OS X handles CUPS.

I haven't tried this solution in Yosemite, El Capitan or Sierra (I don't like El Capitan at all ). and I have no idea how this will work with other branded lasers or inkjet printers but it is certainly worth a try. If your printer is still working but has no updated drivers . . . save $$$$$$$ or ¥¥¥¥¥¥


Hi Micx
I would like to keep my old Lbp 2900 with High Sierra too, but your explanation is too difficult. I can picture my IMac exploding for what I have done trying to follow your instructions.

Questions:
1) (your 2. ) Re-install the driver but do not yet add it to your available printers list. Do you mean the drivers which I used for el Capitan (a driver and a patch)?

2 (your.3) Repair permissions up to OS X Mavericks ( Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra and High Sierra do not have “Repair Permissions “ in Disk Utility ) . THen in High Sierra I do nothing?

3)
(.4) Start Terminal What does it mean?

4) Obviously the solution involves changing the way OS X handles CUPS. ? Should I drink my coffee in saucers then?

Thanks

Can anyone confirm that Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac will continue to work if I upgrade to High Sierra? I need to use that every day and early reports claimed that it didn't work, hence my refusal to upgrade. Now however I see new reports that it does continue to work.

That's interesting information because I upgraded my 2012 i5 2.5Ghz Macbook Pro 13" with High Sierra yesterday and I haven't seen any issues so far using Microsoft Office 2011 Home and Business for Mac updated with version 14.7.7 . Make sure you have MS Office for Mac and the MS Office for Mac Updater program running with the latest updated versions installed.

There are no guarantees when MS ends support for a version of Office and it's recommended you do a full time machine backup or other backup of your current version of Sierra before updating to High Sierra. I'm hoping MS Office 2011 H&B is good at least through High Sierra and it's updates. MS Office 2016 for Mac wasn't released that long ago and MS has continued working bugs out for this past year.

Do you still have no issues?

I have Microsoft Office 2011 Home and Business for Mac updated with the last update version 14.7.7 and I need to use it every day. The fear that it will stop working prevents me from "upgrading" to High Sierra. If I can convince myself that it will continue to work, I'll probably do it, so if you would confirm that it still works for you and even more if some other users say it works for them, that would be a big big help in deciding to do this!

^^^^Yes, it will work just fine from my experiences. But, MS no longer supports the product. There will never be another update, another bug fix, another anything. 14.7.7 is the latest version.
