Apple Releases macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 With Compatibility Improvements for Third-Party USB Audio Devices

[MacGod]

Wow - at 1.6 GB - that is a lot of code changes

"You're gonna need a bigger boat."

I hope this fixes the contacts sync issue from iCloud.

If you have such an issue (I, and many others that I know, do not) then submit a bug report.

They fixed the placement of the folder selection window when you export a photo from the Photos app:The window was clipping inside the Photos top bar making some stuff unreadable. No longer.

can someone please comment on performance vs 10.13.1?

 

[MikeAnd]

Delayed release suggests the final build of macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 was subjected to additional last minute security testing.

I am hoping infamous December 2, 2017 bug is fixed, which on macOS High Sierra triggers less severe "Month 13 is out of bounds" error every dozen milliseconds or so.

Not fixed.

Any improvements to the grotesque interactions between display sleep and monitor spanning? It's TERRIBLE with this in 10.3.1 -- on both Nvidia and AMD-based laptops.

 

[xpxp2002]

Does it fix the issue where the AirPlay icon in the menu bar moves every time you wake from sleep?

What's the4 official timeline for a MacOS version that will work with iOS to sync messages across devices and platforms?

I've always updated to the new OS on the first day. With HS I held back on a hunch. I'm glad I did. Hopefully now that we're on .2 it will be stable and issue free enough to take the plunge. However, my current OS runs fine and there's no feature I'm wanting for.

This is the last chance I'm giving High Sierra - if this release doesn't resolve a lot of the issues im going back to Sierra

I was waiting for 10.13.2 to upgrade to High Sierra, but all you folks have scared me to wait for 10.13.3 now...

I would down load now as half these fools love to troll, I have betas on 3 machines and seen no nothing like what these guys are mentioning.

I was looking for USB devices and got excited for a second then saw the audio. I guess Apple has no time fixing external hdd ejecting when my iMac goes to sleep. When I wake-up my Mac there were like over 10 warnings saying I didn’t eject my hard drive properly. SMH!

it is repaired since beta6. Enjoy

I usually wait until .2 to update. Only exception was going to 10.11 because 10.10 was so bad.

I hope this fixes the contacts sync issue from iCloud.

What contacts sync issue? I use iCloud exclusively and contacts sync perfectly.

 

[alexwei]

I hope this will fix the issue where my computer shuts down by itself after the lid has been closed for several hours.

 

[zorinlynx]

I use USB audio devices and have never had a problem with them, but no harm in improving the way they work.

Here’s something that bugs me though: opening the lid is supposed to start up my laptop, but sometimes it just doesn’t. I end up having to use the power button, like a caveman. Any fix for this?

Are you sure you're not confusing waking from sleep (which it does when opening the lid) to actually powering on the system from being completely off (you need to press the power button for that)?

If you haven't already sign up to Apples Security-announce mailing list .. you receive security alerts when pending updates are available. I received warnings for tvOS, watchOS, iOS, and macOS today. There are critical updates for all of them.

 

[lkrupp]

Does it fix the weird bug that puts the display to sleep after 15 seconds?

You assume everybody has this weird bug or that Apple even knows about it? Have you even reported it through the proper channels?

I haven't had this issue either; OP is posting as if this is something everyone knows about.

Stick with Sierra unless you need new features in High Sierra.

There is really no compelling reason to upgrade.

 

[jerryk]

Hopefully Apple dealt with any remaining ROOT password like issues. That was so bad...

Wasn't that in the Security Update that came out Dec 1, 2017.

I have had HS installed since day 1 and have none of the issues claimed here. So I would say upgrade.

[jonnysods]

How about improvements to the way it handles 3rd party USBC displays mainly the LG Display they've been pushing people to. Right now I can't yet recommend it to other people. It crashes my machine greater than 50% of the time.

I can't even get one of my USB monitors to work at all now, even with updated drivers from DisplayLink.

Not to mention the app crashes like Mail, Preview, Acrobat, Safari, its bonkers.

Security release 2017-005 for El Capitan and 2017-002 for Sierra were released concurrently as well.

The 2016-2017 MBPs turn on simply by lifting the lid.
