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...

Then just forget about updating to High Sierra all together. With every release comes the flood of naysayers, doomsday prophets, “what about this” -isms and alleged bugs that are probably only in the minds of those asking about them.

The Internet in general, and MacRumors particularly, greatly inflates the negatives of anything. All the naysaying here is a raindrop in a thunderstorm compared to the millions running High Sierra with little, if any problems... like me for example.

If you listen to the cacophony here you will be afraid to update anything.
 
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.

Sorry if I come off as rude, but how does OP know if it's wide spread if they doesn't ask?

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.
Yes I have the same problem! -.-
 
There's something for everyone in there

I'm not assuming anything. I'm also not going to assume you're coming off as rude on purpose, as hard as that may be. If you don't experience the glitch, perhaps instead of replying as you did, you could ask me more about it.

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!

I’ve been having those problems even on original release of Sierra. I am thinking now when you run into such problems a wipe and reinstall are needed. My iMac had been upgrading the OS since Mountain Lion.

They haven't fixed any of the MAIL program bugs and I'm sure this update will scramble all my server settings once again like always.

MAIL notifications come sometimes 5 minutes after you've already read the email and deleted it! UGH!

Command-B in MAIL is BOLD if you type Command-B TWICE. Apparently, they can't figure out how to get the first keystroke to work properly.

I have reported these bugs and unlike in previous Mac OS testing, I've gotten no response from Apple or even acknowledgement. I used to previously testing Yosemite and El Capitan, but no more. It's like they just don't ***** care.

I think you're onto something. One of my drives kept getting ejected until it no longer works. I guess that's a feature? :D
 
Radeon Vega drivers are functional, but fan always spin at max. I think iMac Pro will use 10.13.3
 
I think the list of fixes is so long that wouldn't look good on the release notes, so they "summarize". Looks like there is a lot of things to finish on HS before even trying to start on pending, announced features.

^ This all day long. I can only reliably plug in or unplug an LG 5k or 4K screen if I log out first.

Logged out has a 100% success rate of not setting off a kernel panic. Logged in, nearly 100% failure on HS.


EDIT: Just finished installing .2

I think it's fixed, at least on the LG 5K. I'm borderline delirious - it's been a painful few months.

UPDATE: It's working on the LG 4K too. Tried to get it to fall over in Parallels/Win10 too, but working great (finally). :)

On the first update try my MacBook screen turned teal green during restart. :eek: Then I got an error that the update failed. AppStore started downloading it for the 2nd time, it seemed the download was smaller this time. I don't remember the exact file size but it was definitely less than the first time. Did the firmware update failed? I'm worried...

How can I check if the firmware update passed? And why was the 2nd download smaller??? HELP!!! :confused:

That happened to me on my new MacBook Air. It said failed and downloaded a second time. It rebooted and I’m on the finder. Who knows what got screwed up in the process. What’s wrong with Apple? Stop working in Emoji and fix your software please.
