Anxiously awaiting APFS support for Fusion and regular HDDs.

Works fine on my 1 internal 2 external and RAID HDD's? heard the only issue was fusion?

[doublepost=1506631043][/doublepost]Hope it fixes iMovie, had to revert to the old version just to get it to stay in memory.
 
At first glance, Siri now has the natural-sounding voice, just like in iOS 11. A number of users who updated to High Sierra noticed this absence. They can expect the new-and-improved Siri when 10.13.1 is released. I don’t use emojis that much so I don’t know if there are new ones with this beta version.

Automatic font activation in Adobe CC apps is a great deal faster, via FontExplorer Pro X plug-ins, compared to macOS 10.13.0. No bugs found yet.
 
Anxiously awaiting APFS support for Fusion and regular HDDs.

I don’t know about Fusion drives, but APFS is fully functional in HDDs, internal or external. However, Time Machine will not accept APFS-formatted drives for backup. If you try to add a hard drive (APSF format), it will offer to erase it as HFS+ before adding it to the Time Machine drives list.

I even converted a number of USB thumb drives to APSF with no problem (except that they probably cannot be read on older systems). When I tried to create a High Sierra installer in one using the createinstallmedia command line, it also gave an error with APSF and reformatted the thumb drive before I could use it.
 
Word 2011 works fine for me (i.e. as well as it ever did). But Twitter crashes every time I scroll back through individual PMs, and I can use Affinity, Tonality, etc. but not Photoshop CC to edit Photos – user error ?

It'd be good if it did fix the Fusion Drive issue.
I currently have a Mini with Fusion drive stuck on the last pre GM beta because I don't want to format it. I use it for SKY Go, and it only allows you to change devices once a month.
Its not showing as an update on the app store for me, but perhaps thats because my machine isn't on the GM release.
I wonder if I install GM on it as a HFS Fusion drive a later point release will offer to update it to APFS?
 
I don't have issues with Office whatsoever. LOL ;)

What MS Office issues?

I was having a weird problem with excel where, in existing spreedsheets, the text was a mirror image and upside down. This also affected brand new spreadsheets, updated office as far as I could to the early release updates and none of these fixed my problems. At the moment I'm resorting to using numbers....
 
I reported this issue with Yahoo mail and Apple mail along with debugging. When Yahoo auto-saves your draft, Mail is duplicating it in the drafts folder. Also when you try to move messages from the inbox, your receive sync errors.
 
Does this fix the play/pause button issue? Its incredibly glitchy, mostly doesnt work

The play/pause button has been changed to play whatever last played (like YouTube videos), making it like the music player in control center on iOS.

No idea why Apple changed it... I personally hate it.
[doublepost=1506635748][/doublepost]Hope the stupid AirPods glitch is fixed. It’s absolutely terrible.

I was being quite serious. They've gone years without fixing bugs before. And this big bug apparently affects several versions of macOS. Nowhere in my post did I mention switching to Windows.
When have Apple gone years without fixing bugs that cause serious security vulnerabilities?

Did they fix the vulnerability that was exposed on day one of High Sierra's release date?

Pretty sure that vulnerability has been around for awhile. Certain passwords have been cached in near plain text for ages. With a bit of tinkering you too can figure out your own semi-unique cipher Apple uses to store your passwords :p
 
I upgraded to High Sierra on my Mac Mini 2014 (internal Apple 256 GB SSD), and audio stuttering has gotten worse in games, etc. I'm playing FTL from GOG and the background music keeps getting interrupted. Not sure if it is a widespread problem with audio in High Sierra 10.13.0
 
It appears that they took away command-P as an option to print in Safari! I was printing (to PDF) a bunch of things, and after the upgrade, poof, that went away. Going to File -> Print is such a damned pain.

I went ahead and downloaded WebKit. That worked... Crazy!

Command-p still prints for me in Safari.

I think it’s a little soon to get APFS support for Fusion; same with Apple Pay Cash, messages in iCloud, AirPlay 2 and such.

At this point, Apple dev and QA resources are being prioritized to bugs that affect overall UI/UX esp. performance. I’d guess that that dev work continues in parallel, but certainly release QA resources are best focused on bug fixes to the current feature set.

If I had to guess I’d be thinking about a January timeframe, since iPhone X isn’t going to hit until early November, then you’ve got holidays and the end of year break. I’d be pleasantly surprised by anything earlier, fingers crossed.

I've had the same issue since the mid betas on High Sierra. The work around is to scroll to the bottom of the spreadsheet then scroll all the way back up and the text returns to normal, but on big spreadsheets it's a pretty rough work around. LOL

Hope the update that does allows folks with fusion APFS that stayed on the pre-golden master to skip directly to that update without having to downgrade from APFS first.

Fixed in the latest Office 15.40 (170926) Build.
 
Does this fix the issue where contacts without country code added to the number, show up as numbers in imessage on the mac ?
That is a lame bug considering the beta period ...

I had that issue as well, but simply scrolling the spreadsheet sorted it; working normally now,
 
I'll jump at .2 or .3

Hmmm, yes MacOSX is soooo buggy. I think I will switch to windows now...

You people. Always negative.

Apart from crappy MS Office I do not have issues whatsoever.

Dunno. Though with windows not pushing out a new major update each 12 months to meet the marketing departments sell of free macOS each year, it's kinda stable to tell you the truth.

So, with all the issues reported , are you saying they are not an issue for you ? Clearly you are reading these issues and responding
