Posting from build 17A365, the final from the App Store. Only 5 GB of that 8 seems to be used.. BTW, if you use Mac Fans Control, be sure to download the latest version, 1.4.8.1, older versions will give you some stupid error message asking for the app to be moved to /Applications. Kinda figures they'd give iMovie HEVC compatibility before Final Cut, eh? Upgrade is 10.1.7 in the App Store. Also if you use Movist, upgrade to v.1.4.2 in the App Store. Finally I can see all those HEIC jpgs in the Finder..

Hey all, how long did your installations take? Been at least an hour and 10 minutes now on a 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro with touch bar. At what point do I try to force a restart and try again?

You could always open up the console to see what's up, as far as I know that should still be an option?

I just installed, made sure I had multiple backups, and everything's looking OK so far. Only weirdness is that Creative Cloud forgot that Photoshop was installed so I just reinstalled it.

Anyone play with the High Sierra Content Caching feature? I enabled it since I have multiple iOS and MacOS devices in my household, but I'm not seeing any Bonjour announcements (which is how I assume it tells clients that it exists) and the cache isn't growing...

At what point do I try to force a restart and try again? Mine was about 41 minutes, but I have a modified Late 2013 rMBP with a 512 GB Samsung 951 plus adapter, not the Apple SSD. It's gotta do a firmware flash and then migrate the filesystem from HFS+ to APFS, if you have a lot of files, or a lot of big files, or a huge iTunes library, it may take longer. I always keep my iTunes folder on a big external drive and not have it connected during system upgrades. I would just let it keep going, be assured it is doing something while that drat thermometer just stays still almost all the time.

It's been 4 hours now. It's about time to go to sleep so I'll just let it go overnight. Ordinarily I'd restart it. Seems like other people are having the same problem over on the MacRumors forum.

Choadmaster posted:You missed literally the best part, which is that it’s a very flexible container that can hold all sorts of auxiliary data. I know Apple is putting the depth map from the dual-camera systems in there. They’ll be able to do Live Photos as a single file, though I have t checked if they do. Ditto with an entire burst of photos with burst mode, or all the component photos (along with the final) for an HDR shot. QuickTime .mov is back, baby!

I upgraded to High Sierra. A bunch of my documents/media have the com.apple.quarantine attribute set and it doesn't clear when the file is opened. Opening a large movie file has a noticeable delay and a "Verifying.." dialog for a few seconds every time. I know I can clear the attribute with xattr for files I know are safe, but the problem seems to also be happening with newly downloaded files. Can anyone else verify that this is an issue for them and not a random quirk of my particular upgrade? Also, the Ars review claims there is software HEVC playback in High Sierra for older machines. I'm not seeing it on my 2013 rMBP (Quicktime and quicklook aren't reading them). Am I missing something?

Which is that the Apple TV always, always loses its AirPlay connection to my MacBook Pro after I come home from work and wake up the laptop from sleep. It never rediscovers the computer on its own. I have to reboot the Apple TV to get it to find it again. Restarting iTunes doesn't help, only rebooting the Apple TV. Every day. It's been like this for several software revisions on the Apple TV now, so I don't have much hope, but..

Has anyone with their machine bound to an Active Directory domain upgraded to High Sierra yet? I'm wondering if it's going to gently caress up the domain membership. I have a corporate laptop and some leeway with what I do with it but it's joined to the domain and I don't really want to leave it with IT for a day just to re-bind. Also my un-bound iMac desktop is sitting at 40 minutes but it has a fusion drive. All this time I thought the long wait was APFS conversion but I guess not (?) as it's about the same time frame as all my pure-SSD machines.

I'm not seeing it on my 2013 rMBP (Quicktime and quicklook aren't reading them). Am I missing something? I can load HEIC jpgs in Preview, and now I notice that HEIC files in Finder sporadically lose their ability to be previewed in Finder. "OS rot," as some would say. HEVC videos recorded at 4K on my iPhone 7 couldn't play in QuickTime Player or QuickTime Player 7 before the HS upgrade. They could play in Movist and VLC, although at slow framerates. After the HS upgrade, HEVC videos recorded on my phone at 4K could play in QuickTime Player, not QuickTime Player 7 (cause its based on older APIs, it begs for codecs to be installed.) In some circumstance, QuickTime Player played back the HEVC video at full speed, even though I only have an old and creaking 13-inch rMBP, Movist and VLC could only play at cripple speed.

I'm not seeing it on my 2013 rMBP (Quicktime and quicklook aren't reading them). Am I missing something? like most (all? i don't use quicktime player) h264 encoded media it still has to be in an mp4 container, so if you're trying to play mkvs or something quicktime and the related system apis still won't read those. Bob Morales posted:Is there a list of apps that aren't compatible with APFS? even stuff with a ton of legacy cruft like adobe apps have been updated to work out kinks with apfs; the only practical difference i've noticed is that if you use apps like carbon copy cloner or superduper then the apfs support, while extant, is not as full featured as with HFS, though the new version of CCC is more or less at feature parity. the graphics performance increases are pretty much entirely in the window server - i run a mac mini with hd3000 graphics connected to a 1440p monitor and the improvement is subtle but palpable. stuff like opening up large stacks on the dock or mission control don't drop frames under normal, non-insane use any more. launchpad still feels a bit laggy on occasion, though it's hard for me to separate actual dropped frames from the general weird choppy feeling inputs that you seem to get when you use launchpad with a mouse and keyboard. i'm using almost the highest res screen that this thing will support on a comparatively weak (even compared to the very next iteration) graphics chip, so i'm like a prime candidate to feel any kind of improvement that this brings, and it's nice but nothing to write home about. it was pretty smooth before and it's slightly smoother now. there is some talk that this windowserver rewrite has brought in a few bugs and the ars review guy was adamant that he was able to get apps like finder to artifact to gently caress pretty reliably. i haven't really experienced anything like this; the only strange stuff i've seen was some choppiness and artifacting in image scaling animations in tweetbot and telegram that instantly stopped when those apps got their high sierra update. ymmv tho. it's honestly fine tbh; you probably won't do yourself any harm installing it but then again the user facing changes are so minor that you can wait for a point release and not feel like you're missing out at all. what i'm trying to say is go with your heart. unless it's your work computer in which case do a bit of research and probably wait even though you'll probably be fine.

[/quote] Dropbox and it seems like everything is fine, crossing fingers.. To expand on what Generic Monk said, some of the benefits of increased speed may also come from optimization of the Intel HD/Iris drivers.. from observing the Windows side it seems that Intel gets a lot of poo poo for their first generation drivers, but at least they do bother to play catch up. For example, Intel has released updated Windows drivers for HD 3000/4000 chips and up that will enable h.265 hardware acceleration in Windows 8 and up.. I'd be willing to bet MacOS is seeing the benefits of that now, sans the h.265 stuff- at Apple's direct command. Can't let the old hardware show up the new.

Not sure if this should go here or in the iPhone/iPad/iOS apps thread, but ever since upgrading my iPod touch to iOS11, iTunes bounces its dock icon at me every few minutes (a bouncing iTunes dock icon is never good news) and says:iTunes posted:iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch “Huygens” because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes. If I actually go unlock the iPod, it shuts up for a few hours. If I cancel, it comes back in a few minutes to ask again. This is pretty annoying, to say the least, since I've been able to control iPods wirelessly for years without having to do that. Any ideas?
